In the past, Wolverine is replaced by a Skrull in the X-Men and they do not figure it out until the alien is killed and reverts to his normal form. At the same time, the real Wolverine is taken by Apocalypse and forced to fight Sabretooth to determine which one will be the new horseman of Death. Wolverine wins and Apocalypse transfers the adamantium from Sabretooth's body into Wolverine. In the present, Apocalypse sends his new incarnation of Death up against the Hulk.
