The storyline concludes in "Wolverine Annual" (vol 2) #1, which includes a flashback depicting prior adventures that Adam shared with Wolverine. Vincent animates a group of ancient Heliopolitan gods (hybrids of Egyptian deities and humans that resemble humanoids with animal heads), which battle Wolverine and the Destine family, including Cuckoo, who confirms telepathically that the being they are pursuing is indeed Vincent. Vincent explains that he arranged a number of events, including Adam and Elalyth's recent reunion, in order to bring about his own resurrection, and ultimately intends to use Wolverine's superhuman form as a vessel to contain his power. His plan is foiled by Rory, Pandora and Wolverine, who destroyed Vincent.
