Windsor-Smith doesn't answer every question, though, leaving more mysteries to solve. These were picked up by Larry Hama and Marc Silvestri in Wolverine's regular solo series (during MUTANT GENESIS). You don't need to read the follow-up tales that, true to form, also leave more mysteries to solve. But read them together and you'll see one of the most harrowing moments from Logan's past and how it shaped his present.
Welcome to Experiment X...

Marvel Comics Presents #72[1/4]
A lonely, drunken scrapper loses his job at the FBI due to his unpredictable behaviour and obsession with the new mutant phenomenon. He finds himself with the dead and dying in a run-down refuge for fallen Christians in Ottawa. Logan's life has reached a dead end, but his nightmares are telling him hell is 'round the corner. Elsewhere, a scrawny scientist begins work on Experiment X; employing a disreputable male doctor wanted by the authorities and a sweet, young female doctor.Marvel Comics Presents #73[1/4]
Wolverine #48 (tie-in)
The heavies from Experiment X have to give Mr Logan a real heavy beating to get him down. By the time he's back at their hi-tech facility, shaved, stuck with tubes and needles and dunked in tank, it becomes apparent that Logan is no ordinary man. He's already healed form his injuries and his hair grows back within 20 minutes. Embarrassed by not having all the facts on this seemingly superhuman test subject, the Professor leaves the experiment partway through...
Marvel Comics Presents #74[1/4]
The Professor communicates with Experiment X's secret benefactor, expressing his frustration that he wasn't informed about Logan being a mutant. As the experiment continues, Dr Abraham Cornelius and Dr Carol Hines begin infusing Logan's bones with Adamantium - an indestructible metal. The drain on the resources increases unexpectedly. Once the experiment is over and Logan begins to wake up in his holding lab, blood starts spurting from his hands, followed by adamantium 'claws'. The scared young lab worker alerts the Professor who encourages him to enter the lab, only to be gutted. The Professor is more interested with his creation than the dead lab worker...

Marvel Comics Presents #75[1/4]
As Dr Cornelius expresses his concerns about the fact they've just turned a man into a wild beast, Logan smashes his way out of his lab, stares them down and passes out. The Professor convinces Cornelius that what they've done is create the most formidable tactical weapon ever conceived. Cornelius agrees to stay and help program Logan so he can be controlled...
Marvel Comics Presents #76[1/4]
The Professor embarrasses himself again, this time by trying to imprint his role as Logan's master before the conditioning machines are even turned on. When they are, the machine ends up receiving instead of projecting as Logan's rage sends image of a spiked skeleton in agony onto the monitor before the Professor, Hines and Cornelius. Logan wakes and grabs Hines by the throat, then focuses his attention on the Professor, ignoring his voice commands. Armed guards tranquillise him, but he still manages to project an image of the Professor with three claw-holes in his face on the monitor...

Marvel Comics Presents #77[1/4]
Logan - now dubbed 'Weapon X' - is tested against a pack of starving wolves in the snow outside the Experiment X compound. He puts up absolutely no resistance at first, then cuts loose and tears the animals to shreds. The Professor orders the guards to leave Weapon X out in the snow overnight to wallow in the blood of his kills...
Marvel Comics Presents #78[1/4]
For their next experiment, Cornelius loads Weapon X up with tech and batteries that will allow them to turn him on and off within a five-mile radius. The Professor's initial attempt to control Weapon X ends with the living weapon in a heap on the floor and the techs laughing at the oversensitive scientist. When everyone leaves this room, the Professor pours his hot coffee over Logan's face and naked body...

Marvel Comics Presents #79[1/4]
Cornelius has enabled Weapon X to function within a nine mile radius. Despite the weight of the extra battery packs, he's fast and silent enough to sneak up on a bear and take it down. The Professor is keen to move on to human opponents, making Dr Cornelius even more uncomfortable. When the Professor leaves the room, Cornelius shares his issues about getting blood on his hands with Dr Hines. It's then that Weapon X breaks free once he's been returned to his cell. Cornelius believes the Professor is responsible. Either way, no one's controlling him, now...
Marvel Comics Presents #80[1/4]
Weapon X kills his way through the armed personnel at Experiment X, following the scent of the Professor who is accidentally broadcasting his half of a private conversation with the real mastermind behind Experiment X. The Professor asks if he should hold steady while his boss uses Weapon X to kill off the 'dead wood'. Cornelius's suspicions about the Professor are realised, but he still sends a cadre of heavily armed guards to take Weapon X down. By the time they get to the Professor, he's alive but minus a hand. Now he wants Weapon X dead...

Marvel Comics Presents #81[1/4]
With the body count rising, the Professor orders Hines and Cornelius to follow him to the adamantium reactor hold; the safest place in the entire compound. From there, the Professor openly contacts his employer, begging him not to let Weapon X kill him. The loss of power at the facility means the turbines for the adamantium reactor have shut down. The place is more likely to blow up before Weapon X even gets through the thick blast door. But Weapon X has found another way through and stands over the Professor, dripping blood on his bald head...
Marvel Comics Presents #82[1/4]
The blood-loss finally catches up with Weapon X as he stands before the three terrified scientists, and it looks like he'll drop before he can attack. The Professor hits Dr Cornelius from behind, making him accidentally fire his rifle at Weapon X and reigniting his rage. With Cornelius gored to death, Weapon X tracks the last two living people to the compound's fission gate. The Professor pushes Hines into the exhaust pit to lure Weapon X in after her while he prepares to fire up the gate and burn them both alive...

Marvel Comics Presents #83[1/4]
Experiment X's real master isn't done manipulating things from afar and turns off the reactor, allowing Weapon X to get out. Still burning and leaving Hines behind him, Weapon X climbs up to the control bay and looms over the Professor, defiantly refuting the his taunts that he's nothing but an animal. After bellowing that he's a man, that he's Logan, Weapon X cuts off the Professor's other hand then unleashes his claws into his enemy's head.
Marvel Comics Presents #84[1/2]
Aware of himself for the first time in a long time, Logan tosses the Professor's body into the lit fission gate. He walks through the facility, unaware that he's the one who's caused all the carnage he surveys. He sees the claws emerging from his hands, then things get weird as his world transforms around him into spikes and screams. Outside the compound, he faces a Siberian Tiger. His escape is revealed to be a simulation. Cornelius believes the Professor's communications with his 'master' was just another element of the illusion. Just a part of the game. While they're busy back-patting, Weapon X breaks free of his handlers and slices his way to the central control room where he's ready to kill them all over again. Later, the escaped Logan trudges naked through the Alberta snow...
