(Spoilers) What happened a year ago??


The reference to Logan being hurt one year ago was never explained. What happened? Why can't he heal?

reply

Because his healing factor is fading with his advancing age.

reply

Also, didn't the scientist mentioned some type of poison infused in everyday drinks & food like cereal that probably has been infesting his body and affecting his abilities.

reply

No, it was something else. Right before Charles gets stabbed in the chest, he's saying how he doesn't deserve a peaceful night because of what he did to Logan one year ago.

Not just age, something else, but never explained.

Charles was referencing the other seizure he had (similar to what happened in the casino) where he hurt a lot more people and killed some. They only vaguely reference it and he was still feeling guilt over that, it wasn't referring to hurting Logan himself or his healing ability.

reply

No I'm pretty sure it was something more. Charles said, in his confession, that he did something to Logan specifically. And the doctor who was working on patching Logan up told him that there's something wrong, Logan's reply was "I know what's wrong with me," or something to that effect.

Implying it's not just age.

IMHO, the incident in Westchester was Charles losing complete control over his mental powers due to approaching Alzheimer's, and if you recall, in X2: X-Men United, Magneto told the other X-Men that if Charles used Cerebro at full power he could kill every person on the planet. So, I think that Charles' seizure, unchecked, killed or injured quite a few people, including several, if not all, of the X-Men.
