Hellverine (comic book)
Hellverine is the name of a comic book title starring the character Hellverine (Akihiro) and published by Marvel Comics. The title refers to the name of a demon-possessed Wolverine.
The title is a sequel to the "Ghost Rider/Wolverine: Weapons of Vengeance" crossover.
In the summer of 2023, the comic books Wolverine vol. 7 and Ghost Rider vol. 10, both written by Benjamin Percy, had a crossover named "Ghost Rider/Wolverine: Weapons of Vengeance." This crossover introduced the demon Bagra-ghul who would then go on to possess Wolverine and become the "Hellverine."
In February 2024, it was announced that there would be a Hellverine four-issue mini-series, also to be written Percy, with art by Julius Ohta. Per Percy: "Readers really responded to the killer concept of Logan with a flaming skull and flaming claws on a flaming motorcycle, which is as heavy metal as it gets." The demon Bagra-ghul returned, but this time it was not possessing Logan, but rather his son, Akihiro.
In August 2024, it was announced that there would be a Hellverine ongoing series spin-off, with Percy returning as a writer and art by Raffaele Ienco, which would launch in December 2024. According to Percy, "People started seeking out that first appearance issue. Marvel Legends rolled out a Hellverine toy. I was asked to do a mini-series. The mini-series sold well enough that I was then asked to do an ongoing. It feels something like a Cosmic Ghost Rider moment in terms of energy, trajectory. So thank you, fans and retailers. This is awesome. Hopefully, Hellverine will be a colorful part of the Marvel canon in the years to come."
After being sealed away by Wolverine and Ghost Rider, the demon Bagra-ghul breaks free from his prison and resurfaces in a new host body as Hellverine. However, due to Bagra-ghul being influenced by Wolverine's heroic and honorable thoughts during the time he possessed him, Hellverine hunts down evil doers throughout North America and continues his ritual of erecting grotesque statues of his victims' remains in honor of Mephisto. Meanwhile, Project Hellfire has been taken over by US General Harms, who oversees the creation of a group of Hellish super soldiers called the Destroyers from the bodies of five dead soldiers. When the Destroyers awaken, they immediately rampage throughout The Pentagon, until they are confronted and stopped by the Hellverine, resulting in the deaths of two Destroyers. Harms and his men seek out Wolverine to question him over Hellverine's identity; when reviewing Harms' battle footage, Logan realizes Hellverine is his son Akihiro, who had previously been killed by Sabretooth.
As it turns out, Bagra-ghul resurrected Akihiro at his gravesite in the North Pole, due to being drawn to Akihiro's similar scent as Logan's. Despite his resurrection, Akihiro is left amnesiac and Bagra-ghul compels him to hunt after the Destroyers. Desperate to reclaim the Destroyers as they are vital to his plans to usurp the US Government in order to fulfil his prior pact with Hell, Harms proposes an alliance with Logan. Disgusted and distrusting of Harms, Logan refuses and seeks out the Destroyers on his own in order to find his son. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Colonel Leon Townsend recognizes the Destroyers as his former squad mates after watching them on television. Logan manages to find one Destroyer at his former home but is forced to kill him when the Destroyer nearly kills his living family.
Townsend confronts General Harms at Project Hellfire's lab and demands to be turned into a Destroyer, believing that he could put a stop to their rampage. Harms meets with the secretary of state, who had been secretly funding Project Hellfire, until they are attacked by the two remaining Destroyers and one of them kills the Secretary. Hellverine appears and kills one Destroyer, but is shot and gravely wounded by Harms with a holy-water laced bullet. Logan arrives to find his son on the ground dying and takes the demon Bagra-ghul back into his own body, believing that would save him. Instead, the act turns Akihiro into a desiccated corpse.
