Publisher’s description
Logan is taken outside the bar on the way to the Klondike by three agents of Expierement X. It takes more than a stun gun to knock him out. He is taken to the complex, and placed in a tank full of red liquid. Cables and needles are inserted into his body at numerous points and his vitals are monitered by Carol Hines and two technicians. Carol notices that his hair has grown back after shaving. They work hard to maintain Logan's heart rate, but his body seems to resist everything they try. The Professer asks why Cornelius didn't prepare for this in advance. The doctor asks who could have forseen this. Logan appears to be more than human. His body has sustained damage in the past that simply doesn't show up any more. His body is draining more adamantium than expected, and the professer calls for the reserve to be switched on, just in case.
