Weapon X was the first iteration in Weapon Plus that victimized mutants.
What Wolverine and his fellow X-Men ignored for many years is that Weapon X was part of a larger program called Weapon Plus, a United States super-soldier program created in the 1940s with the purpose of creating super-soldiers and assassins not only to be employed in conventional wars, but also to be employed for the extermination of mutants.
The test subjects were policed by an adaptive robot enforcer, called Shiva, should any of the agents go rogue. The telepath Psi-Borg was involved in the creation of the victims' memory implants, in exchange for being endowed with immortality. The project's original test subjects were the members of Team X, a covert ops CIA team (consisting of Wolverine/Logan, Sabretooth/Victor Creed, Maverick/Christoph Nord, Silver Fox, Mastodon, Major Arthur Barrington, Psi-Borg/Aldo Ferro, Wildcat/Noel Higgins and Kestrel/John Wraith). Some of the work of Weapon X was based on the experiments detailed on the journals of Nazi scientist Nathan Essex, which were obtained by Weapon Plus after the end of World War II. John Sublime, the director of Weapon Plus, was always behind the scenes. Weapon X operated through Canada's Department K and was directed by Professor Andre Thorton.
