Genesis attempts to bond Cyber's adamantium to Wolverine's bones and turn him into a new horseman of death for the soon to be resurrected Apocalypse. Wolvie resists and with a little help from Cannonball takes out Tyler and the Dark Riders, most of whom die in the process. Wolvie is free, still adamantium-less but has changed into a bestial creature with a childlike intellect and a surly disposition.
