Weapon X: The Draft—Agent Zero

    (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.

Throughout the Weapon X one-shots, the mysterious Director has been more than Machiavellian in his running of the program and manipulating of his agents, and this special reveals that he has a very specific goal in mind: getting his revenge against the original Weapon X agent, who just happens to be the most dangerous man on the planet—Wolverine. So, the Director has engineered the perfect instrument of razor-clawed X-Man’s destruction in the form of Agent Zero, a masked super-soldier who reluctantly takes on the mission he’s assigned. This one-shot is easily the most intriguing of the lot, as Agent Zero’s identity is kept a secret, but writer Frank Tieri (Iron Man) teases mightily.
