Jean Grey to the Fantastic 4: Which Mutants Did We See Clones of in 'Logan'?
Logan is indeed a bloody, brutal Western of a superhero movie, unlike any Marvel movie we've seen before.

The Weapon X project has branched out into cloning, taking genetic samples from mutants across the world and using them to create new, powerful living weapons.
