For a good portion of his life, Wolverine dealt with memory issues; piecing fragments of his earlier life together became one of the character’s central drives. However, his daughter, who deals with memory problems of her own, has no desire to discover what happened to her in the past. This revelation come during a fight with Nightmare in X-Men #4, on sale now in print and digital.
As Wolverine was fleshed out, it was decided that he would have an extensive – and mysterious – back story. It was clear Wolverine had been places and seen things, but he could not remember them thanks to brain tampering courtesy of his former handlers. Fans were treated to piecemeal glimpses of Wolverine’s past, such as in Barry Windsor-Smith’s “Weapon X” story, or the Wolverine: Origin miniseries. Wolverine’s journey to reclaim his lost time came to an end in 2005’s House of M miniseries, when Scarlet Witch restored his mind. Readers have also learned Wolverine is one of many mutants who have been experimented upon, their bodies broken, and their memories wiped. His daughter Laura, temporarily replacing her father as Wolverine during his apparent death, suffered a similar fate. Laura recently was elected to Krakoa’s new team of X-Men. Much like her father, Laura has memory implants as well, but she has a much different approach to them than Wolverine.
In the story, written by Gerry Duggan, with art by Javier Pina, colors by Erick Arciniega and letters by Clayton Cowles, the villainous Nightmare, emboldened by the recent death of Doctor Strange, feasts on the dreams of the X-Men. As he observes Wolverine/Laura, he notices her fear is “what was left behind, locked away in a vault,” referring to her time as a living weapon. It eats at her, but the true irony is, that with the help of the many telepaths on Krakoa, she could recover these memories—but chooses not to, leading Nightmare to declare Laura a true “Wolverine.”
Why does Laura refuse to access these memories? She has a desire to know what happened, and the means to access them—what is stopping her? Before her father met the X-Men, he had similarly been used as a weapon, a programmable killing machine that did the bidding of its masters. His memories of these missions had been all but erased; he knew he had done bad things but could not recall them. When the Scarlet Witch restored his memories, the guilt and shame almost consumed him. Laura knows that her “missing years” are more of the same, and she does not want the same shame and guilt her father dealt with.
Nightmare’s assessment that this makes Laura a true Wolverine is an interesting one; he is correct that Laura’s struggle with her dark past makes Laura her father’s daughter, but he is ignoring that Laura is not defined by her past, that she seeks to become a better person and atone for what she has done—just like her dad. Wolverine’s daughter Laura is facing many of the issues her father did, but she is opting for a completely different approach. Whereas Wolverine sought out his lost years, Laura denies them.
