Throughout the history of the Marvel Universe, various figures have been retconned and revealed to be connected to one of its most nefarious organizations: the Weapon Plus program, an institution whose experiments have turned its subjects into living weapons. This fits given how much the backstory of Wolverine, who’s widely associated with the Weapon “X” Program, has been retconned.
Its first products included the artificially created mutants of The World. But its most famous success stories are Deadpool and Wolverine, aka Weapon X. However, plenty of other major Marvel characters have been revealed to be results of the program, including some heroes that, technically, predate Wolverine’s connection. Here are the heroes who have quietly been connected to Weapon Plus over the years.
As revealed in Weapon X #23 (by Frank Tieri and Tom Mandrake), the Weapon Plus program was descended from the government’s excitement over the results of the World War II-era Project Rebirth. This was the same program that granted Steve Rogers enhanced physical abilities, turning him into Captain America. This success spurred further experimentation within the program and resulted in Captain America retroactively being designated as Weapon I when the Weapon Plus program began in earnest.
