In Wolverine: Old Man Logan, who is revealed to be responsible for the deaths of the X-Men, and how does it impact Wolverine’s journey?"

In Wolverine: Old Man Logan by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven, one of the most heart-wrenching moments in Wolverine’s history is revealed through a tragic flashback. Wolverine is tricked by Mysterio, a master of illusions, into believing that the X-Mansion is under attack by a group of deadly supervillains. With his heightened senses clouded and overwhelmed by the illusion, Wolverine goes into a berserker rage to protect his friends and home.

However, when the dust settles, Wolverine realizes the horrifying truth: the "villains" he slaughtered were not enemies but his fellow X-Men. The massacre was a result of Mysterio's manipulation, leaving Wolverine to grapple with the unbearable guilt of having killed his own team—his family.

This event is a turning point for Logan. Overcome with grief and self-loathing, he vows never to unleash his claws again. He abandons his identity as Wolverine and retreats into a solitary, pacifistic life. The tragedy also sets the tone for the dystopian world of Old Man Logan, where Logan's personal torment mirrors the larger collapse of heroism in a world dominated by villains.

This story is not just a pivotal moment for Wolverine but also a haunting exploration of his character—a man defined by both his unyielding strength and the deep scars of his past. It’s a must-read for fans who want to understand the depth of Wolverine’s struggle and the resilience that makes him a legendary hero.
