A Wildly Unhinged Theory about Logan and Pen

MAJOR SPOILERS AND SPECULATION

A theory that has been needling at me for a while became a bit more formed after rewatching X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and The Avengers.

In My Time at Sandrock, Pathea pays homage to Wolverine by giving his name, James Howlett, and his alias, Logan, to two of the game's characters. Howlett, a famous monster hunter, is Logan’s father. Logan, in turn, grows up to become a renowned monster hunter in his own right.

However, when it comes to Wolverine’s history and fighting ability, they incorporated it into Pen’s story instead. It was Pen who got experimented on by the military and made stronger because of it. This created a triangle between the three characters, with each point representing a characteristic of Wolverine. However, that triangle was never complete because Pen did not have a direct connection to Howlett or Logan. But what if he did? What if Pen is "Weapon X?"

A major question to ask is whether Pen’s role in the Duvos mission was purely for country, wealth and fame, or was there a personal motive in play as well? What if Howlett’s death was about much more than his stumbling across Pen’s Duvos mission?

In Sandrock, Pen is 31 years old, and Logan is 28. That puts them three years apart, with Howlett marrying Logan’s mom in ’71. It would also imply they were married after Logan was born, which was 27 years before Sandrock’s events in ’98. Now, let us focus on Howlett’s past and his expeditions beforehand. Did Howlett spend time in Duvos or adjacent to it? Could he have had a relationship with Pen’s mother?

To fully connect each point of that triangle, should we consider, that Pen might be a major part of Howlett’s backstory? It would make sense that Pen knew more than he was letting on during the events in Sandrock. What if Pen knew of Howlett in a different capacity? What if we witnessed the ramifications of Pen knowing that Howlett was his estranged father?

If so, could it mean Pen’s hatred was full-fledged jealousy because Logan got the relationship with Howlett that he denied Pen? Did Pen blame Howlett, and in turn Logan, for his circumstances and the experimentation he endured at the hands of Duvos? Was there more to know about Howlett that could alter the perception of him and in turn Pen’s actions toward him? Nevertheless, it was curious that when talking to the Builder, Pen only ever mentioned his mother in passing.

Now with that in consideration, what if Pen volunteered for the mission in Sandrock with that purpose in mind? It would explain a lot as to why his attack against Logan at the Starship Ruins felt so extremely personal and why Pen so eagerly shared with Logan that he killed Howlett. Pen found joy in Logan’s suffering because it was his restitution.

The brother vs. brother theme is popular in Marvel comics. Logan and Victor in Origins may have been an inspiration for Logan in Sandrock, with the exception that he did not know the history of his father or of Pen’s familial existence. It will be during Logan's journey in Evershine and beyond that we will learn more about Howlett's past, and in turn, get revelations about Pen. Howlett’s Hunters is also a homage to Marvel’s Howling Commandos, so they will surely meet up with Pen at some point along the way.

In Sandrock, the fight between Pen and Logan in the Starship Ruins was a homage to another great battle between brothers. Pen played the role of Scar and Logan was Mufasa in the famous Disney cliff scene. In that instance, despite Pen’s attempt to kill Logan, both would live to fight another day. Sandrock also had a Beauty and the Beast reference by modeling Pen after Gaston. The homage extended to the overall Sandrock story where the Builder, in the nongendered “Belle” role, learned that sometimes, the guy pretending to be the hero is not, and the one perceived as bad turns out to be good.

Another thing we learned in Sandrock was that Pen’s a false narrator. We could only guess his lies from his truths, which include comments he made during interviews or standing behind bars at the Civil Corp. Everything he said in Sandrock was to cover his true intentions and his purpose for being there. All of it. From his “I’m the protector” to his “I coulda been a contenda” speech were all lies to hide the fact he was a pissed-off brother from another mother.

Where could this story take us? I predict that like Wolverine, Logan will come remarkably close to killing Pen, but Elsie (?) will be the one to convince him otherwise. She will be the voice of reason that if Logan kills Pen, it will make him just as bad. Logan killing a human is not something I want to see happen for the sake of the character. He is better than that and I genuinely believe Pen will not die at his hands.

What I do think is that Elsie, as the monster whisperer, will help Pen by another means which may be the trigger to Pen’s inflection point. It is also where I think Pen may choose the path which will lead to him becoming the Loki to Logan’s Thor. It is quite plausible they could team up to battle against a much bigger mutual enemy.

Additionally, this is where I think Aadit will play a major role, as Duvos may have also experimented on him. He very well may hold the key to helping Howlett's Hunters undo some of the damage inflicted on both Duvos men. I am very curious to see how his story plays out in Evershine.

If this is in any way the path the story will take, then my earlier theory about Pen may still hold true but I hope it is not the case. I want to see all these men deal with their history and come out the other side better for it.
