The real "Three Mile Island"
Notes
- In the 2009 film X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the island is the location of a secret holding facility for mutants undergoing experimentation, either in addition to or under the guise of a nuclear power plant. An experiment at the facility is Weapon XI, who was portrayed as a genetically altered Wade Wilson. He is also referred to as "Deadpool", due to having abilities "pooled" from many other mutants killed and/or kidnapped, including Wolverine's healing factor, Wraith's teleportation ability, and Chris Bradley's technopathy. Weapon-XI is the final antagonist, having been genetically altered to be the ultimate mutant killer. His head is cut off by Wolverine while his back is turned.
Trivia
- On March 29, 1979, there was a cooling system malfunction that caused a partial melt-down of the reactor core. This loss of coolant accident resulted in the release of a significant amount of radioactivity.
