logan is arguably the best x-men movie yet,liberally borrowing elements from the popular old man logan comics arc. that story was packed with references fromthe marvel universe, and since fox doesn't have the rights to most of those characters,it might seem safe to assume logan doesn't have many easter eggs of its own.
Android TV jamaica, but you'd be wrong, bub. here's a spoiler-filled look at some loganeaster eggs you totally missed. x-men #132 one of logan's key plot points comes fromthe old issues of x-men comics that laura
carries around with her, which supposedlycontain the coordinates for the secret mutant haven eden. one of these issues is #132. while the comic they show is a prop made forthe film, the decision to use #132 as the issue number isn't random at all. in the real world, x-men #132 marks the firstappearance of the cyborg donald pierce — one of the film's main bad guys, who battled wolverinein that very issue. so meta! fat albert
the evil wolverine clone x-24 isn't in thecomics, but he seems to be based on a real character with the slightly less scary nameof albert. albert was a robotic version of wolverinebuilt by donald pierce as part of a weird plan to kill wolverine using an android bombdisguised as a little girl. it didn't work, but at least albert acquittedhimself a little better in the movies. rictor, rebecca, charlotte, bobby, delilah just as laura was created using wolverine'sdna, so too were her friends apparently created using the dna of other mutants. one of the kids, for instance, has iceman'sfreezing power, while another has pyro's fire
power. logan also finds in the case files a referenceto christopher bradley, who appeared in x-men origins: wolverine as part of team x. he was the mutant who could control electricity,just like the kid who electrifies the jeep at the end. and finally, the leader of the kids, rictor,is a member of x-force in the comics. alkali transigen the evil corporation breeding mutant slaves,alkali transigen, got its really awkward name from the comics: the secret facility wherewolverine had the adamantium bonded to his
bones by william stryker was actually locatedat alkali lake, which was seen in several previous x-men movies. the reavers alkali transigen isn't just making mutantslaves, they're also really busy enhancing their private army of human soldiers withmechanical arms, legs, and other cybernetic doodads. at one point in the movie, this gang of cyborgmercenaries is referred to as the reavers, which is fitting, because in the comics, thereavers are an army of cyborgs financed and commanded by — that's right — donald pierce.
knick-knacks considering how eagerly logan seems to wantto forget his past, he carries an awful lot of mementos. not only is he toting around chekov's adamantiumbullet, he also has a samurai sword on the wall of his shack as a nod to his time spentin japan. and he apparently bought his dog tags in bulkat some point, because he seems to have an endless supply of the things just to stareat. it just wouldn't be a wolverine movie withouthim staring at those dog tags. greenwood cemetery
at the beginning of the film, logan is makingends meet as a limo driver. he ends up bringing some random people toa cemetery, where he has his first encounter with laura. but that's not just any burial ground: greenwoodcemetery has appeared in marvel comics for years, in titles ranging from fantastic fourto the new warriors. patrick stewart's childhood memories during a key bonding scene in which professorx and laura watch the classic 1953 western shane, xavier tells her he saw the movie inthe essoldo cinema when he was just a little kid himself.
that may have actually been a true story,because essoldo was a chain of theaters that operated in northern england during the 1940sand 1950s when patrick stewart was growing up.
