10 Insane Alternate Multiverse Stories Marvel Fans Must Read

9. Old Man Logan

Secret Wars 2015
Marvel Comics

Old Man Logan is a little bit more well known following Hugh Jackman’s last hurrah in the Logan movie. However, while that film was undoubtedly made in Old Man Logan’s image, there are some major differences between the beats of the comic and the movie.

In this storyline, Wolverine is an old man (obviously), set on Earth-807128 where the super villains have won and the superheroes are left defeated. Think Avengers at the start of Endgame only much, much worse.

A villainous Hulk, Abomination, Kingpin, Magneto, Doctor Doom and Red Skull essentially run the world, occasionally warring over territory like the emperors of old.

Red Skull has even installed himself as President Of The United States, and if that doesn't hammer home the horror of this reality, what will?

The Old Man Logan character has become so popular that he’s outgrown his original arc too, becoming a staple of other stories when the multiverse is involved. It’s a statement not only to Mark Millar’s writing but to the Wolverine character in general that even when he’s reluctant to draw his trademark claws, he’s still a hugely popular figure.
