==Storyline==
{{Plot|date=September 2010}}

The story opens with [[James Howlett|"Logan"]] (known as Wolverine) taking out some anger issues on [[Jean Grey (comics)|Jean Grey's]] death, depicted in the movie, X2. Wolverine wants to do a simulation of his battle with [[Sabretooth (comics)|Sabretooth]] on top of the [[Statue of Liberty]] (as they fought in the first X-Men film) in the [[Danger Room]], a technological marvel that can simulate realistic events using solid holograms.

After nearly being defeated by the simulation Sabretooth if not for the arrival of Iceman, Logan agrees to run Iceman's training program that the still-grieving [[Cyclops (comics)|Cyclops]] was supposed to run him through. Later, [[Professor Xavier]] asks the X-Men to return to Alkali Lake to retrieve irreplaceable parts to [[Cerebro]]. Nightcrawler is asked to infiltrate the remnants of [[William Stryker|William Stryker's]] base with his teleportation ability, since the weapons systems were somehow operational and are attacking the Blackbird. Once inside, he finds out that Stryker had a backup plan to destroy the [[Mutant (Marvel Comics)|mutants]] — mutant hunting robots called [[Sentinel (comics)|Sentinels]].

Working together, Storm and Wolverine find an A.I. module for a Sentinel when agents of HYDRA (an organization of terrorists) arrive to take the remaining Sentinels to their own base. It is revealed that HYDRA had designed the robots for Stryker, but the current commander didn't want them activated. Inside the base, Wolverine discovers that HYDRA had employed one of his former adversaries — [[Lady Deathstrike]], who was able to survive an apparent death in X2 after being pumped full of [[adamantium]].

Nightcrawler and [[Colossus (comics)|Colossus]] destroy the generators for Alkali Lake. Nightcrawler is then plagued by visions of a youthful, angry Jason Stryker, who continues to remind Nightcrawler that he left him to die. When Nightcrawler asks Xavier why this is happening to him, the Professor responds that there was likely some form of leftover psionic residue, and that it should be nothing to worry about. However, it is soon revealed that Jason is alive and well, and wants to continue his father's dream of seeing all mutants destroyed. The mentally unbalanced Jason escapes with agents of HYDRA, and the [[Master Mold]].

After Lady Deathstrike knocks out Wolverine, she kidnaps Storm and locks her in a dark, compact container. Due to Storm's claustrophobia, she panics and creates a large hurricane. Logan and Deathstrike clash in the eye of the storm. During the battle, Logan manages to knock Deathstrike into the gale-force winds, giving him the chance to free Storm. Once loose, Storm immediately launches a stream of lightning at Deathstrike, knocking her unconscious; Logan then carries Storm away from the scene. Deathstrike eventually escapes the facility with the remnants of HYDRA, as well as the remaining Sentinels and the Master Mold. Wolverine tells Storm he is going to follow HYDRA, because Deathstrike is a small but necessary key to his past. He promises to return as he hitches a ride on Deathstrike's Tokyo-bound helicopter. Iceman, Storm, Colossus, and Nightcrawler return to the Institute in the X-Men's Blackbird jet, leaving Alkali Lake undisturbed once more.

Iceman is told to fight Pyro, who is threatening to destroy a nuclear reactor. Iceman arrives and battles his onetime friend, who is now a member of Magneto's Brotherhood, and is using his powers to create a giant Fire Serpent. Iceman has to defeat it to save the city, and he accomplishes this task. Pyro escapes and Iceman meets up with the rest of the team, after Xavier praises his skills in the battle.

Nightcrawler and Storm face off against one man who is many: James Madrox, the Multiple Man, a terrorist who robbed several banks and wants to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge using his army of duplicates. Nightcrawler defeats Multiple Man, and he is to go to a prison for high-powered mutant criminals. This storyline is somewhat picked up in X-Men: The Last Stand, when Magneto and his new Brotherhood free Multiple Man from the Prison Convoy.

Jason activates the Master Mold in Tokyo, causing the Sentinels to be activated. They begin to hunt down mutants, capturing them, and Iceman sets out to prevent this from happening, and destroys many of the Sentinels.

Wolverine infiltrates HYDRA's main base, and cuts through many of their forces. As the Silver Samurai consults Deathstrike about her feelings of dishonor (she felt disappointed and ashamed that Stryker was able to take control of her, using Jason's serum), Wolverine interrupts their discussion. Yuriko announces she'll handle Logan, and the Silver Samurai exits the Dojo. Clawing, ripping and slicing at each other, the parallel warriors escalate their fight to the second floor of the large arena. After some time, Wolverine gains the upper hand; after he slices at Yuriko with an intense combo, he lifts her up and throws her down to the first floor. She easily recovers from her wounds with her healing factor, and taunts Wolverine that he'll need to try harder. In response, Wolverine slices the rope suspending a large wooden platform; the large structure breaks through the floorboards, taking Deathstrike with it, stopping one level below, in a pile of dust and wreckage. However, it is later hinted by Professor Xavier, that Yuriko survived.

After Logan's triumph, he tracks the Silver Samurai to the roof of the facility; The Silver Samurai reveals that he is himself a mutant, and if Wolverine is able to honorably defeat him in combat, the two being great warriors, he will tell Logan how to defeat the Sentinels through the Master Mold. Silver Samurai uses his power to charge his sword with energy, letting it slice through nearly anything, and to channel energy blasts through it; however, Wolverine's claws prove to be superior. Conquering Samurai in combat, Wolverine emerges the winner, gains the information, and tells the team how to defeat Master Mold.

Xavier telepathically contacts Magneto, and asks him for help in facing the Sentinel forces. Magneto agrees to a final team-up, saying the next time, it will be as foes again. The X-Men, meanwhile, are attacked by new, towering Giant Sentinels, crashing the X-Jet and leaving Iceman to defeat the huge robots. Iceman wipes out these Sentinels, as Master Mold lurks in the distance. Magneto arrives and uses his powers of magnetism to crush the many Sentinels attacking the mutants. The temporary alliance over, Magneto sends Sabretooth (who has a healing factor, like Wolverine, and survived his fall from the Statue of Liberty) after a new recruit for his Brotherhood: Jason Stryker, whose mind control powers would be a great asset... if he can be convinced to stop hating his own kind.

Arriving inside the Master Mold, Nightcrawler must disable its control center, while he is aided by a different, nice apparition of Jason Stryker, who helps point the way through the maze of the Mold's body. When he arrives at the Master Mold's command center, he finds Jason, who hates the younger "ghost" Jason, a manifestation of his split psyche.

Wolverine arrives in the Master Mold, and Jason uses his powers to make Wolverine fight himself in a mental battle in the Weapon X Lab, to fight his own demons. Wolverine is victorious against a horde of himself, and he heads to Nightcrawler's location, in the Master Mold's head. Jason tries to get rid of Nightcrawler by entering his mind and trying to convince Kurt that he is not a mutant, but a real demon. Nightcrawler disables the Master Mold's neural net, changed by Jason to look like a demonic realm, complete with demons. Meanwhile, Iceman must destroy the Master Mold's core, so that it will be a useless machine. He takes care of it, and flees the core's destruction.

Sabretooth works his way to Wolverine and Nightcrawler's location, knocking Nightcrawler out and taking the wheelchair bound Jason, when Wolverine arrives and attacks his nemesis. The two have a vicious battle, ending with Logan throwing Sabretooth from a great height to be impaled below, and then leaving his rival to die. Jason dies in the battle, the good part of his psyche winning, and tells Nightcrawler it is okay for him to leave him this time.

With the Sentinels, Master Mold, and Jason out of the picture, the X-Men head home. Nightcrawler tells Xavier he does not want to be an X-Man, for their lives are too violent and he is a peaceful man. Xavier tells him he is always welcome in the Mansion, and Kurt leaves, explaining his absence in X-Men: The Last Stand. Xavier ponders what is in the future of the X-Men, and we go to Cyclops, who is tormented by images of Jean's home and hallucinations of her voice...
