The tragic demise of the X-Men in Wolverine's universe left people wondering how they died on this parallel Earth in Deadpool 3, also known as Deadpool & Wolverine. The film made the loss of beloved characters particularly impactful, leaving audiences in a state of shock and wonder about the circumstances surrounding their deaths.
WOLVERINE in Deadpool 3: Where in the X-Men timeline does he come from?
Fans are fascinated by the mystery surrounding the death of the X-Men, as Wolverine and Deadpool struggle with the emotional fallout from this tragedy. The film briefly answers the question of how the X-Men died, but doesn’t delve any deeper. However, here are some possible elaborations that could fit into the story.
Deadpool & Wolverine takes a page from Marvel's Old Man Logan comic storyline. In the infamous Westchester Incident, Mysterio tricked Wolverine into killing all of the X-Men. Fox's Logan changed it up, having Professor X accidentally kill the X-Men family. Now, Deadpool & Wolverine takes that plot point and changes it up again.
Unlike the Westchester Incident from the comic, Deadpool 3 reveals that humans were responsible for the deaths of X-Men members, driven by fear and hatred of mutants. They staged a surprise attack on the X-Mansion while Wolverine was away. However, how they managed to eliminate powerful mutants, including Jean, Cyclops and others, was not revealed.
