Flashbacks in XU2 9
Posted: Sun Sep 28, 2014 7:05 pm
Need some help placing (or identifying as RFBs) a number of flashbacks in XU2 9 (all from the first story)...
1:3 - Wolverine, in his brown costume, is being eaten by a dinosaur while a T-rex watches. Guessing the Savage Land as a locale?
1:4 - A sword sticking out of his shoulder, Wolverine fights ninjas wearing white garb with straw hats. Minimal background, and Logan's wearing something light green and loose-fitting. Can't tell if it's a kimono or just a loose shirt.
1:5 - Wolverine (brown costume) runs from horses he just saved from poachers. Minimal background.
2:1 - A female character goes full-blown Phoenix mode, but I can't tell who it is or (if it's supposed to be Jean Grey) what costume she's wearing. No background.
2:2 - Wolverine (brown costume) howls in pain as his lower body is engulfed in flames. No background; could continue from the previous one.
2:4 - Colossus fastball-specials Wolverine at a Sentinel only for Wolvie to get palm-beamed into skeletal remains. Logan's wearing one of his classic costumes but it isn't clear which one.
3:1 - Wolverine (brown costume) fights Nazis in a WWII-seeming battlefield. Time-travel story?
3:3 - Wolverine (brown costume) claw-punches a robot (it’s largely off panel, so I can't ID it). Narration says this takes place on the moon.
4:1 - Wolverine (in civvies including a shredded white wife-beater) lies unconscious with Sabretooth standing over him. Snowy wilderness background.
4:2 - Wolverine (brown costume) has something long and metallic jabbed into his shoulder by a shadowed character with two others watching. Don’t recognize any of the three other characters, but one could be Bloodscream.
6:2-10: Logan remembers acting as corner for a friend of his, Johnny, for a boxing match at a bar. After Johnny’s victory, a pair of bar patrons confront Logan and Johnny at gunpoint, claiming the fight was fixed. Johnny instinctively moves in front of Logan and gets shot. After Logan pops claws and hands out bloody justice, he chastises Johnny for covering him when his healing factor would’ve handled the bullet, but Johnny only replies it’s just what Logan would have done for him. The narration on page 11 states that the shooting crippled Johnny and that he walked with a cane for indeterminate amount of time before his death, and that his significant other, Grace, convinced him to give up fighting, so I’m thinking this is a bit far back, but not too far back, since Logan mentions that Johnny loved hearing his stories of his superheroic exploits, so whatever the most recent of the flashbacks are listed above, I’m betting it takes place no earlier than that.
Any ideas, guys?
