In 1972 nearly twenty years ago before Logan was romantically involved and abducted with [[Silver Fox (comics)|Silver Fox]] at Windsor snow lodge, Thornton experimented on numerous mutants including [[Sabretooth (comics)|Sabretooth]] and [[Mastodon (comics)|Mastodon]]. He hired Carol Hines as his assistant and the scientist [[Abraham Cornelius]]. He experiments on [[Wolverine (comics)|Wolverine]] and is responsible for his admantium-laced skeleton. He is also connected to the creation of [[Alpha Flight]] on to developing super-soldiers for the US government. During the process, the pain of past memories wakes Wolverine up and enables him to break through the chamber right after it was completed. Wolverine ends up cutting Professor Thornton's hand off and supposedly killing him in a mad rage. This ending scene clarifies to the reader that the virtual reality simulation of him killing hundreds of personal was indeed hallucinatory and an escape attempt. |

Sometime later, Professor Thornton and Carol Hines lure Wolverine into an abandoned warehouse in Canada which was once the secret location for the Weapon X program. Codenamed Project X, Wolverine soon discovers Weapon X was funded by the CIA and sheltered in Canada. Professor Thornton's secret weapon, a robotic android named Shiva, is activated to destroy him. Wolverine discovers the apartment complex is not a Pest control outlet but a trap for revenge. Silver Fox (who works for another secret organization called [[HYDRA]]) is revealed to be behind the entire plan. In the end, the missing character and cohort Silver Fox surprises them amidst the fighting thereby killing the professor.<ref>''Wolverine'' #50</ref> |
