“Savior” Part 3 of 5 While Omega Red holds Jubilee hostage and with S.H.I.E.L.D. hot on his trail, Logan makes his way to Berlin -the site of an ill-fated mission during his time in Team X to retrieve an ellusive artifact from the Cold War: the carbonadium synthesizer. Omega Red wants the synthesizer so that he can stabilize the deadly carbonadium bonded to his body – but can he be trusted to deliver on his end of the bargain? Of course not. Logan has a plan, though – but he’s going to need some help from an old friend to pull it off. 32 PGS.

We begin with Wolverine climbing his way back into the building where Omega Red and his men are located. We see a shadowy figure watching Logan from afar. (His son, I guess.) Logan crawls in through one of the building’s windows and brutally disposes of Omega Red’s two soldiers. A beaten up Maverick tells Logan that Omega Red is already gone and that he took Jubilee with him. Maverick tells Logan that he told Omega Red that a long time ago, Maverick traded Carbonadium Synthesizer to someone in return for safe passage into the States. Maverick then tells Logan who he traded the Carbonadium Synthesizer to. We the reader don’t hear the name, but Logan says that it is bad news who Maverick gave it to. Logan tells Maverick that the ambulance is a couple of blocks away. The men wish each other good luck and Logan takes off.

We cut to Dum Dum Dugan and some S.H.I.E.L.D. agents questioning a merchant seaman who told them that Logan was on their shop that was headed for Barcelona. The containers aboard the shop where designated to deliver via rail to Paris, London or Berlin.

We then shift to Berlin. Logan meets up with a contact person and gets some information on Omega Red and his location. We then zip back forty years ago with Wolverine in Berlin on a mission with Maverick and Sabertooth. Wolverine’s mission objective was to get the Carbonadium Synthesizer. Maverick’s mission objective was to rescue the C.I.A. mole, Janice Hollenbeck. Sabertooth’s mission objective was to “recruit” Omega Red and bring him with them.

Wolverine easily found the Carbonadium Synthesizer. We then see Creed’s attempt to “recruit” Omega Red fail as the two men begin to brawl. Creed tells Maverick and Wolverine that this stinks like a set up. Sabertooth then kills Janice Hollenbeck in order to keep Wolverine in line. (Honestly, this part of the story is really jumbled up and confused and makes little sense.) Evidently, women are Wolverine’s weakness and this was Sabertooth’s way of keeping Wolverine in line since he thought Wolverine and Maverick were plotting something.

We shift back to the present day with Logan in Berlin searching an abandoned warehouse. Logan smells a familiar scent. Suddenly, the Black Widow appears from the shadows.
