Brief Description:
Wolverine, beaten and bruised, hangs from a wooden X outside the X-Men's base camp. Donald Pierce, Wolverine's captor, continues to torment the shackled Wolverine, who begins to hallucinate. In his delusions, in actuality one of Gateway's Dreamtimes, Wolverine witnesses the past. He watches the X-Men return from their trip to the Savage Land. Next he is visited by phantoms of various acquaintances, both friends and foes. He sees his own return to town, and his subsequent capture. Again, his vision returns to arrival of the four X-Men from the Savage Land. As the Reavers approach the X-Men's position to attack, Psylocke opens the Siege Perilous and telepathically cajoles the X-Men to enter. Arriving too late, Pierce is furious at the loss of his prey. Back to reality and the present, the town comes under the fury of a powerful storm that seems to be encircling the whole globe. While the Reavers wait out the tempest inside, Jubilee summons the courage to approach Wolverine. To her surprise, Wolverine frees himself from his X-shaped crucifix. Lacking the strength to even stand, Wolverine asks the young Jubilee for help.
Story Notes:
Wolverine took a leave of absence from the X-Men in Uncanny X-Men #246.
Rogue was "zapped" through the Siege Perilous in Uncanny X-Men #247 and will reappear in Uncanny X-Men #269.
Longshot left the X-Men for personal reasons in Uncanny X-Men #248.
Storm was seemingly killed by an accident of Havok's in Uncanny X-Men #248, but will resurface in Uncanny X-Men #253.
Wolverine seemingly killed Sabretooth at the end of the Inferno conflict in X-Factor #39. However after receiving a suspicious note in Wolverine #10,
Logan has reason to believe that Sabretooth is still alive. Unknown to Wolverine, while he is being tortured by the Reavers the very much alive Sabretooth is appearing in Amazing Spider-Man #322-324 in "The Assassin Nation Plot" storyline.
Wolverine was forced to kill Ogun, his old friend and master, in Kitty Pryde and Wolverine #6.
By telepathically pushing the X-Men through the Siege Perilous Psylocke is attempting to avert their deaths as she saw in her Dreamtime experience in Uncanny X-Men #250.
Wolverine was twice implanted with a Brood Egg, once in Uncanny X-Men #162 and more recently in Uncanny X-Men #233. Both times is healing factor managed to reject the egg.
Illyana is Colossus' sister. Illyana is a member of the New Mutants under the name Magik. She currently believes, along with the rest of the world, that her brother, Colossus, is dead.
When one of the Reavers refers to Psylocke as being a "Mentat" this is a tip of the hat to the type of characters in Frank Herbert's "Dune". In "Dune" humans with computer like minds are used instead of machines.
Of the four X-Men that stepped through the Siege Perilious, Psylocke returns first in Uncanny X-Men #256, amnesiac and still caucasian. As Uncanny X-Men #257 she is in the Asian body she swapped with Kwannon. Colossus and Dazzler return in Uncanny X-Men #259 without memories where Colossus adopts the name of Peter Nicholas. Havok returns in Uncanny X-Men #270, during the X-Tinction Agenda storyline.
Even after healing Wolverine continues to hallucinate Carol Danvers, along with Col. Nick Fury, in Uncanny X-Men #252 and beyond. Carol Danvers and Logan have a history of having worked together as spies various times.
Wolverine has actually only met Jean Grey a few times, prior to the emergence of Phoenix in Uncanny X-Men #101. Most of the interaction with whom Wolverine believed to have been Jean Grey has in retrospect, turned out to be Phoenix II.
Mariko is Wolverine love and ex-fiancé. She currently resides in Japan.
Wolverine is obviously in the Dreamtime as proof in his telling both the past and future. Not only does he witness events that occurred when he was not around, but also by seeing Storm in a pre-teen body, he is foretelling her future condition when she resurfaces in Uncanny X-Men #253.
