X-24 was an antagonistic character that appeared in the X-Men spin-off film Logan. He was a clone of James "Logan" Howlett engineered by Dr. Zander Rice of Alkali-Transigen. He was portrayed by Hugh Jackman.
History[]
X-24 was created by Alkali-Transigen after they deemed Project X-23 a failure. A perfect clone of Logan, X-24 resembled Logan in his physical prime. Dr. Zander Rice designed him to be a weapon – X-24 exhibited all the rage and ferocity of his genetic template, but none of the compassion or self-control. Once X-24 had been perfected, Transigen ordered the extermination of their other test subjects.
X-24 was deployed by Transigen to capture the escaped X-23 who was on the run with Logan and Professor Charles Xavier. X-24 found them at the Munson house, where he fatally wounded Xavier and killed Kathryn Munson and her son, Nate. Will Munson arrived home with Logan after they had restored water to the house that had been cut off due to a local dispute, and X-24 fatally wounded him as well.
Restraining X-23, X-24 was in the process of delivering her to Dr. Rice and the Reavers when he was set upon a group of locals involved in the water dispute who mistook him for Logan. X-24 savagely killed the entire group, before fighting Logan. X-24 was narrowly defeated when Will, dying of his wounds, rams him with a car and impales him on a farming machine. Logan and X-23 escape while Dr. Rice and the Reavers recover X-24 and speed his regeneration powers to heal him back to fighting strength.
Death[]
Several days later in North Dakota, X-24 is deployed once more against Logan by Donald Pierce after Logan kills Dr. Rice. The two fight and X-24 fatally wounds Logan by stabbing him and impaling him on a tree. X-24 is killed by X-23 when she shoots him in the head with an adamantium bullet that Logan had been saving for himself.
