Anyone remember John Howlett II? His story was supposed to bookend “Origin,” but alas he appeared in “Wolverine: The End.” Was “Hulk: The End” supposed to be canon? Who knows, it could still be. But “X-Men: The End” was certainly not. Just another Snapshot of how the X-Men comics were written when it started, well-obsolete months and months before it wrapped up its wrap-up story. The whole feel of “The End” series was a mixture of the feel of a new century/millennium overall, and the overall updating/reboot that’s come with each new decade. So to say it was a fleeting fad feels… fitting. And thus nothing introduced in these books ever showed up later.
Which is a shame, I certainly prefer John over Romulus. But reliance on the secondary mutation trend, also aged out of style very quickly. So now we have a long convoluted story that determines the rivalry between Wolverine and Sabertooth was based on hair color the whole time.
