After being snatched away by the Time Variance Authority, he is told that his universe (Earth-10005), is set to be pruned after the death of Wolverine. Determined to save his loved ones, Wade snatches a Time Ripper device to find a Wolverine that will help and ends up recruiting the most hated Wolverine in the entire multiverse.
