Added DiffLines:

"Ultimate Comics: Wolverine" was a comic book by Cullen Bunn and David Messina, set in the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel universe. Although he's in the title, Wolverine is a PosthumousCharacter in this story, as he had died in ComicBook/{{Ultimatum}} (and stayed dead), and only appears in flashbacks. The story has ties to the then current arc of ComicBook/UltimateXMen.

Jimmy Hudson has a video will of Wolverine, and plays it several times. Black Box (a technopath mutant) hears it and realizes that the will has concealed information, about "Project: Mothervine". They both leave the reservation and try to get info about it. It was a project of many years ago, that turned the fetuses of selected pregnant women to turn the babies into sleeper agent mutants, who could be awaken with a trigger phrase. It was stopped back then by Wolverine, working for the government, and Magda, working for other people but with a similar goal. They had sex after the reunion, and Magda later applied the Mothervine on herself. Only the part of it that turned her baby into a mutant, and not the rest.

Jimmy is not the only one searching for the Mothervine. Quicksilver also does, trying to restore mutantkind. And also to try to recruit his newfound brother.

* LightIsNotGood: A politician salutes a girl he finds, who was actually a Mothervine subject. She starts attacking with solid light.

* PosthumousCharacter: Wolverine has died in ComicBook/{{Ultimatum}}, and remains dead. He only appears in flashbacks.
* PowerIncontinence: When activated, Mothervine subjects are victims of this.
* TriggerPhrase: "Mother is calling her children home"
* VideoWills: Wolverine had left one for Jimmy. We had seen it when he was introduced, but it seems that Jimmy is playing and re-playing it all the time in his spare time.
