9. New Mutants
This one-shot featured the Ultimate version of Wolverine tasked with his most difficult mission yet. Starting off with a young boy who is baffled to discover that his family and neighbours are all missing, he heads off to school only to later be confronted by his girlfriend…however, she then disintegrates before him! Fleeing to a cave, Wolverine catches up with the boy and explains that his new mutant power is to kill any organic life form in his vicinity. Wolverine can cope with it because of his healing factor, but has no other choice than to kill the teenager. While it would need to be fleshed out for the big screen, there’s the potential for a very powerful tale here.
