Earth-10005

An adaptation of the X-Men movie “Logan”.

In 2029 no mutants have been born in 25 years, and an aging Eddy (Wolverine) suffers as his healing ability is failing. Working as a limousine driver in El Paso, Texas, he and mutant tracker Nigel Uno (Caliban) take care of 97-year-old Professor Farmsworth (Charles Xavier), founder of the X-Men, in an abandoned smelting plant in northern Mexico. Farmsworth suffers from dementia that causes him to have destructive telepathic seizures, one of which injured 600 people and killed several X-Men the year prior. Eddy reluctantly agrees to escort Gabriela López, a former nurse for biotechnology corporation Alkali-Transigen, and a young girl named Lana Loud (Laura Kinney) to Eden, a supposed refuge near the American-Canadian border. After finding Gabriela dead, Eddy is confronted by her killer Xandir from “Drawn Together” (Donald Pierce), who is Transigen's cyborg chief of security. Xandir is looking for Lana, who has stowed away in Eddy’s limo and has powers similar to his. She, Eddy, and Farmsworth escape from Xandir and his Reavers, but Nigel is captured. Xandir tortures Nigel into tracking Lana.

Farmsworth and Eddy watch a video on Gabriela's phone, revealing that Transigen created Lana and other children from mutant DNA to become weapons. The children proved challenging to control and were to be executed, but Gabriela and other nurses helped some escape. Farmsworth reveals to Eddy that Lana was created from Eddy’s DNA and calls her Eddy’s daughter. In Oklahoma City, Eddy discovers that Eden appears in Lana’s X-Men comic and tells her it is fictional. The Reavers arrive, but Farmsworth has a seizure that incapacitates everyone except Eddy and Lana, who kill the attackers and inject Farmsworth with his medication. As they flee, Dr. Munn Nee, the head of Transigen, arrives to help Xandir. Eddy, Lana, and Farmsworth help farmer Will Munson and his family after a traffic incident, accepting an offer of dinner at their home, where Eddy drives off enforcers from a corporate farm. Munn unleashes X-24, a mindless clone of Eddy in his prime created as Transigen's ultimate weapon. X-24 murders Will's family and Farmsworth before capturing Lana. Nigel sets off grenades, killing himself and several Reavers but only injuring Xandir. Eddy is outmatched by X-24, but Will pins X-24 with his truck before dying from his injuries. Eddy and Lana escape with Farmsworth’s body.

After burying Farmsworth, Eddy passes out. Lana takes him to a doctor and persuades him to prove that the site in North Dakota is not Eden. There, they find Rictor and other Transigen children preparing to cross into Canada. Lana finds an adamantium bullet that Eddy has kept since he escaped from the Weapon X facility, which he once considered using to commit suicide. Eddy decides not to accompany them, to Lana’s dismay. When the Reavers ambush the children, Eddy takes an overdose of a serum given to him by Rictor that temporarily enhances his healing abilities and boosts his strength. With Lana’s help, he slaughters most of the Reavers before the serum wears off. As Xandir holds Rictor at gunpoint, Munn tells Eddy, who killed the villain’s father Glutton years ago at the Weapon X facility, that no new mutants have been born due to genetically engineered crops created by Transigen and distributed through the world's food supply. Eddy, having found a gun, shoots Munn dead and injures Xandir. X-24 fights Eddy as the children combine their powers to kill Xandir and the remaining Reavers. Rictor uses his powers to flip a truck onto X-24, but X-24 frees himself and impales Eddy on a large tree branch. Lana loads Eddy’s revolver with the adamantium bullet and shoots X-24 in the head, killing him. Near death, Eddy tells Lana not to become the weapon she was made to be, and after she tearfully acknowledges him as her father, Eddy dies peacefully in Lana’s arms. She and the children bury Eddy, and before they depart, Lana tilts the cross on his grave marker to create an X, honoring him as the last of the X-Men.
