Weapon X: The Draft—Wild Child
(Marvel, 2002)
™ and ©2002 Marvel Characters, Inc.
The Weapon X Program—the Canadian project that unleashed Wolverine and Alpha Flight on an unsuspecting Marvel Universe—is back in business and bent on proving to the world that “[m]utants can be utilized for mankind’s benefit.” Serving as lead-ins to the ongoing Weapon X (Vol. 2) series, five one-shots hit the comics shops in the fall of 2002 and chronicled the formation of the new team as it recruited and tested those who would fill out its ranks.
This Wild Child special finds the feral former member of Alpha Flight seeking out his old teammate Aurora, the super-speedster twin sister of the X-Men’s Northstar and the object of Wild Child’s affection. Trouble is, she’s locked up in the Manitoba Psychiatric Hospital for Women, her sanity pretty well shattered. While not earth-shattering in terms of quality, this one-shot from writer Matt Nixon and artist Ethan Van Sciver (Flash: Iron Heights) is a bit on the bittersweet side in its tone, and longtime X-Men fans will appreciate a brief appearances by the Japanese mutant hero Sunfire and the hypnotic Mesmero.
