One of the most influential illustrators in the comic book industry is the Englishman John Byrne, who was the man behind the strokes of epic Fantastic Four, Alpha Flight and X-Men stories, where the author and illustrator had in mind a story of Wolverine we didn’t see … until now.

Through their website. John Byrne has developed a series called X-Men: Elsewhen. History in which the British has developed a story according to his vision of different characters of the mutants, especially Wolverine.
“I have thought of something that would be even more fun. For reference, let’s call it X-Men: Elsewhen, picking up on it from the conclusion of X-Men # 136, but proceeding as if Shooter hadn’t thrown his brutal-sized sabotage tool on the job. “
Byrne developed an arc called What Price Yesterday ?, in which he establishes a different origin of the powers of Logan, who was the son of Sabretooth, who was born in 1916.
Logan escaped from his father, Sabretooth, and joined Captain America in WWII, becoming part of the Invaders. In this story, Wolverine has a healing factor not as agile as we now know him.
John Byrne states that Logan suffered serious injuries in World War II, which had taken him to a hospital where they would find a way to heal the fracture of his 206 bones. Against this background, the hospital begins to replace pieces of bone with adamantium.
Will this story make it into the canon of the Marvel Universe?
X-Men: Elsewhen, the story of John Byrne, began to be published in 2018. Within the author’s forums, as a response to other stories with which the British did not agree.
“You’re looking at a basic outline of something that dates back to the late 1970s, when I started to ponder the ‘origin’ of Wolverine. So, (the story takes place) long before the nonsense imposed by (Jim) Shooter and the insanity that came out of it.”.
This series is kind of a continuation of Byrne’s work that culminated in the mythology of mutants in the pages of Uncanny X-Men # 136.
CB Cebulski, editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics, sought out John Byrne to bring these lines to a new story to be published by La Casa de las Ideas. Offer that Byrne himself flatly rejected.
