Tales of Weapon X relates the short story of a fifteen year old ComicBook/{{Gambit}} breaking into the facility to steal a diary, the same night that Weapon X escaped. He allowed for the feral mutant's leaving to cover his own... except that it could have not worked.

Still, Jean-Luc [=LeBeau=] isn't about to lose his adopted son.
