Weapon X
Weapon X is a fictional government genetic research facility project appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. They were conducted by Department K, which turned willing and unwilling beings into living weapons to carry out covert missions like assassination or eliminating potential threats to the government. It was similar to human enhancement experiments in the real world, but it captured mutants and did experiments on them to enhance their abilities such as superpowers, turning them into weapons. They also mutated baseline humans. The Weapon X project produced Wolverine (Weapon X), Deadpool (Weapon XI), Sabretooth, Laura Kinney (Weapon X-23), Gwen Stacy (Weapon X-31), and Weapon H.
The fictional experiment X, or the brutal adamantium-skeletal bonding process, written by Barry Windsor-Smith in his classic story "Weapon X" (originally published in Marvel Comics Presents #72–84 in 1991), was eventually revealed as part of the "Weapon X Project." Grant Morrison's New X-Men in 2002 further revealed that Weapon X was the tenth of a series of such projects, collectively known as the Weapon Plus Program, and the X in "Weapon X" referred not to the letter X but the Roman numeral for the number 10. The first project, Weapon I, pertained to the Super Soldier Project that created Captain America.
The Weapon X organization was created by writer Len Wein and artist Herb Trimpe, and first appeared in The Incredible Hulk #180 (October 1974).
Weapon X was originally mentioned in the first appearance of Wolverine in The Incredible Hulk #180 (1974). In the 1991 story arc "Weapon X" (originally published in Marvel Comics Presents #72–84 in 1991), the project was designated Experiment X, and it was revealed that it was responsible for brainwashing Wolverine to become an assassin and binding adamantium to his skeleton. Wolverine later escapes from Weapon X, killing Dale Rice and dozens of other members.
Weapon X operated through Canada's Department K and was directed by Professor Andre Thorton, with Sublime leading Weapon X's parent organization Weapon Plus. Some of the work of Weapon X was based on the experiments detailed on the journals of Nazi scientist Nathan Essex.
The project's original test subjects were the members of Team X, a covert ops CIA team (consisting of Wolverine, Sabretooth, Maverick, Silver Fox, Mastodon, Arthur Barrington, Psi-Borg/Aldo Ferro, Wildcat/Noel Higgins, and Kestrel). Psi-Borg was involved in the creation of the victims' memory implants, in exchange for being given immortality. The test subjects were policed by an adaptive robot enforcer, called Shiva, should any of the agents go rogue.
Subsequent attempts at recreating the success seen by Weapon X with Wolverine include Native, Kimura, and X-23 (a clone of Wolverine who was designed to hunt down rogue agents). The Weapon X Re-Creation Project, also known as the Facility, is headed by Martin Sutter, Dale Rice's son Zander Rice, and Sarah Kinney. Later creations of the Facility, now under the direction of Dr. Adam Harkins, include Predator X.
At some point, Weapon X branched off from Weapon Plus' control and is solely headed up by Canada's Department K. A new generation of agents were created: Deadpool, Garrison Kane, Slayback, Sluggo, Wyre, Wild Child, and Ajax, among others. Weapon X used Logan's DNA to endow its agents with healing powers. The batch produced many additional failures, which were sent to a facility for dissection to determine the cause of their failures. These rejects are freed by Deadpool when he escapes from the facility.
