"To mark this month's release of The Wolverine, the sixth installment in the X-Men film franchise, 20th Century Fox International is creating a virtual \"Be the Wolverine\" experience that gives fans superpowers just like the Weapon X research facility did to Wolverine. \nWeapon X in the X-Men world transforms humans and mutants into fighting machines with superpowers.
