X-24

Where did this come from? Frankly, we guess nobody expected that Wolverine would face himself in his final outing in the X-Men shared universe. But it happened! While some say that James Mangold’s choice was not the best, we believe that it couldn’t have been better. After all, Wolverine fighting against himself is the perfect expression of the character’s inner turmoil.

In the comics, X-24 is mentioned just once. As you might expect, he’s mentioned in connection with X-23, who was supposed to be just the beginning (in the comics). Other clones (from 24 to 50) were being prepared, but X-23 escapes and kills them.

Again, we say that it’s fortunate that Mangold decided on this carefully hidden twist. Sure, bringing back Liev Schreiber’s Sabretooth would have been awesome…

Speaking of which, X-24 does mirror (at least partially) Sabretooth from X-Men Origins: Wolverine. And since we’re talking about the worst X-Men movie ever…
