    Jimmy wonders about his fathers claws and then "Snikts" them out of his hands. At first, he cries out in pain, but he quickly recovers from it. His claws are made of bone at first but then are quickly covered by a metallic material. After managing to control his claws, Jimmy wondered about Wolverine's character. Kitty described Wolverine as a dangerous, sweet, horny, unpredictable, and a dependable comrade. Jimmy wanted to know about Wolverine's talk about his future when his adoptive parents intervened. James wanted Jimmy to leave as Heather Husdon had some words with Kitty. Jimmy overheard Heather being displeased at Kitty for telling Jimmy, feeling she had no right; Kitty justified her actions as fulfilling the wishes of a dead man and left. At the twilight of the pier, Jimmy wanted to know why James never told him the truth. James said he wanted to tell him, but it was too hard for him even after Wolverine became famous. James comforted Jimmy as he become emotional over recent events.

    Jimmy sought out, and found, Jean Grey, now using the alias of Karen Grant. He broke into her apartment during the night only to be attacked by a drawer-full of kitchen knives that Jean was controlling with her mind. When she confronted him he revealed that he is Wolverine's son.

    Along side Karen, he travels by train to Chicago after reading the news about a mysterious figure that lurked in the night sky of Chicago. During the train ride Jimmy pretends to be asleep, and leans over Karen's shoulder only to look down her blouse. The two have a short telepathic argument, and Karen defines their relationship as partners on a dangerous mission. They later track down the mysterious vigilante Derek who, while showing his mutant appearance to his brother, gets into a fight and falls from the sky. Jimmy quickly jumps into the water after Derek, and manages to save him, while Karen manipulates his brother's memory. Jimmy and Karen take Derek to the sewers and take care of his wounds. Karen is able to change Derek's mind about trying to tell his brother the truth again, and the three are later seen talking, as Derek realizes he made the right choice by deciding to go with Karen and Jimmy, as trio set out to find the next mutant.

The first being Jimmy's father the now deceased Wolverine. Angered Jimmy leaves Karen's group to get answers on his own. Unfortunately Jimmy gets captured by Purifiers. But using an opportunity he manages to free himself and several other mutants.
