While with Weapon X, Garrison worked with other agents who had undergone different enhancement procedures, including Deadpool, Sluggo and Slayback. The others all died or went rogue, however, leaving Kane as the sole success for the second program. He became an active field agent under the codename of Weapon X, serving at the discretion of General Jeremy Clarke.
