Seriously: Lee Harvey Oswald? It looks like most of this list is original research. Unless someone can confirm that these characters were actually canonically linked to the Weapon Plus Project rather than generic government agencies/concpiracies, I'm going to remove them. -Sean Curtin 03:16, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Arguably?

I think we all know Wolverine IS the most well-known Weapon X experiment. ;) Solofire6 02:08, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

Explaining the cleanup tag: This article's a bit rag-tag. For instance, the second paragraph: "The Weapon X Project was first called by that name in 1991. According to Grant Morrison's run on New X-Men in 2002, Weapon X was only the most successful in an entire series of a such projects, collectively known as the Weapon Plus Project, and the X in "Weapon X" referred not to the letter X, but to the Roman numeral for the number 10."--Chris Griswold 04:10, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Weapon Zero

Shouldn't there be a weapon zero section? --Basique 16:23, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I think the bulk of this article should be moved to Weapon Plus and this article can stand to discuss Weapon X. --Chris Griswold 01:21, 10 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Split

This article should be split into two separate articles:

  • One for Weapon Plus, covering all installations of the project including a brief mention of Weapon X, including its history prior to its separation from the larger Weapon Plus and the interactions between the two following the separation.
  • A second article devoted exclusively to the Weapon X Project.

Support I think there's enough content to support two different articles. EVula 17:16, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
Support I have been thinking this for days. I don't think you even need to discuss this. I don't see much opposition. --Chris Griswold 07:08, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Done... see Weapon Plus--Gonzalo84 23:08, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Neverland

We say which known mutants were in the camp, but could we specify which ones died as well?

Also, should all the test subjects be listed in the infobox, or just the notable ones? --JB Adder | Talk 12:36, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

The article is kind of vague as to what happened to the Neverland camp. I never read the series; did Cable and his team destroy it, did it wind down, what? Sabine's Sunbird talk 06:52, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The "WEAPON X" timeline

"Before Wolverine, there was Weapon X"

Len Wein, the co-creator and writer of Wolverine, first referred to Wolverine by his military designation of "Weapon X" during his first appearance in INCREDIBLE HULK #181 from October, 1974.

In the story WEAPON X from 1991 by Barry Windsor Smith, only Logan's codename is designated as "Weapon X", while the project itself is always referred to as "Experiment X".

WOLVERINE #50 from January, 1992 refers to "Project X" by writer Larry Hama.

"Experiment X" was retconned into the "Weapon X Project" by writer Larry Hama in WOLVERINE #62 from October, 1992.

Writer Grant Morrison, retconned Wolverine's codename from "Weapon X" into "Weapon 10" in NEW X-MEN #129 from September, 2002.

Writer Frank Tieri created the resurrected "Weapon X Project" storyline in WEAPON X #1 from November, 2002.

I'm not up to speed on Wade "Deadpool" Wilson (who first appeared in NEW MUTANTS #98 from February, 1991), or Garrison "Weapon X" Kane (who first appeared in X-FORCE #2 from September, 1991) and the history of their designation as "Weapon X" by their creator, writer Fabian Nicienza.

To my knowledge, it was Larry Hama who created the actual "Weapon X Project" retcon, and first coined the term we use for this article.74.244.63.126 00:32, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] X2: Wolverine's Revenge

Shouldn't the game X2: Wolverine's Revenge me mentioned? The beginning of the game covers Logan's escape from the facility and Sabretooth's involvement with the program. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.18.97.173 (talk) 05:10, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
