History

Revised Timeline

Weapon X Facility

After the massacre at the Weapon X facility, a group of unknown individuals in connection with Essex Corp. arrived to collect a vial of Wolverine's blood sample.

Trivia

Essex Corp. is a reference to Nathaniel Essex, the supervillain more commonly known as "Mister Sinister". He was initially rumored to be the main antagonist in Logan until director James Mangold confirmed that Mister Sinister would not be appearing in the film.^[1]
According to Simon Kinberg, the post-credits scene of X-Men: Apocalypse is directly connected to the events of Logan. One of the major revelations in Logan was that Alkali-Transigen used Wolverine's DNA to create the mutant Laura. This heavily implies that Laura was made from the blood sample collected by Essex Corp. in the post-credits scene of X-Men: Apocalypse.^[2]

+*Essex Corp. is a reference to Nathaniel Essex, the supervillain more commonly known as "[[wikipedia:Mister Sinister|Mister Sinister]]". He was initially rumored to be the main antagonist in ''[[Logan (film)|Logan]]'' until director [[James Mangold]] confirmed that Mister Sinister would not be appearing in the film.<ref>[https://www.cinemablend.com/news/1614250/why-mister-sinister-really-doesnt-belong-in-logan-according-to-the-director Why Mister Sinister Really Doesn’t Belong In Logan, According To The Director]</ref>
-* The Essex Corporation is an allusion to the X-Men comic book villain '''[[Mr. Sinister|Mister Sinister]]''', whose real name is '''Nathaniel Essex'''. In the context of the comic books, Sinister is a geneticist obsessed with creating the perfect mutant, his experiments leading to the creation of several, highly powerful mutants, such as: Madelyne Pryor, [[Cable]] and Nate Grey, all of whom are based off of [[Jean Grey]]'s and [[Cyclops]]'s genetic material.
+*According to Simon Kinberg, the post-credits scene of ''[[X-Men: Apocalypse]]'' is directly connected to the events of ''Logan''. One of the major revelations in ''Logan'' was that [[Alkali-Transigen]] used Wolverine's DNA to create the mutant [[Laura]]. This heavily implies that Laura was made from the blood sample collected by Essex Corp. in the post-credits scene of ''X-Men: Apocalypse''.<ref>[https://www.cinemablend.com/news/1628949/a-surprising-connection-between-logan-and-x-men-apocalypse-has-been-revealed A Surprising Connection Between Logan And X-Men: Apocalypse Has Been Revealed]</ref>
-** Mister Sinister also commanded a mutant hate group, '''The Marauders''', whose members included: [[Sabretooth]], [[Arclight]], [[Riptide]] and [[Gambit]].
-** In the X-Men comics, Sinister was an ordinary human being living in Victorian-era England until he awoke [[Apocalypse]] from his eternal sleep. Interested in Essex's experiments on mutants, Apocalypse granted the geneticist mutant powers through genetic modifications. Sinister would later sever his ties with Apocalypse due to conflicting interests, creating Cable as a weapon against the ageless mutant. It is currently unknown if the Essex Corporation has had any contact with Apocalypse.
-*It is possible that the Weapon X facility Ajax works in is part of the Essex Corporation. Ajax's work focuses on creating mutates which is Mr. Sinister's main goal.
-** Notably, two Morlocks are present in the Deadpool film's Weapon X facility, Angel Dust and Marrow. This could indicate the Marauders brought in Morlock members to experiment on rather than massacre.
-*It is also possible that [[Alkali-Transigen]] is a sub-faction of Essex Corp, making them responsible for [[Project X-23]], [[X-24]], and the mutant suppression serum. In [[X-Men: Apocalypse]] the Essex Corp takes the samples of Wolverine's DNA from [[Weapon X]] that would eventually be used to create [[Laura Kinney]].
