Biography
Remus was a red haired female Mutant who was born thousands of years ago and was the twin sister of Romulus. (Wolverine v2 #311) Over the course of her existence, she and her brother had seen entire civilizations built along with being destroyed. These included the Hunnic Empire, Roman, Greek and even the Third Reich that sought glory only to fall to ruin. (Wolverine v2 #312) Years ago, Remus along with her brother Romulus were in the company of Creed and Logan where they sought out the Weapon X facility. They sought to make the facility their own when they were confronted by super-powered agents of Department H with this consisting of Electrode, Bayonet, Savage and Black Wolf. Logan slaughtered their foes and volunteered to go forward with Romulus's plan at using Weapon X in creating their own super-soldier as the template for forging their own empire. Before undergoing the act, Logan handed over his sword to Remus stating as he cared for her which she accepted. As Logan was put into the Weapon X experiment, Remus attempted to get her brother to release him as she was romantically attached to him. However, he refused causing her to sever ties with Romulus who blanked Logan's mind of memories of his sister. (Wolverine v2 #313)
After Romulus was freed from the Darkforce dimension, Wolverine battled him by the rebuilt cabin where Silver Fox was murdered. Romulus managed to get the upper hand when Remus secretly emerged and stabbed him in the back with her sword. This provided a distraction for Logan to recover though Romulus escaped. When asked who she was, Remus simply kissed Wolverine stating that she wanted to do that for a long time and whispered that the answers he was seeking were in the old Weapon X facility in Canada. (Wolverine v2 #310) Upon arriving there, Logan was attacked by numerous clones of Sabretooth with Remus arriving to help him with the pair escaping on her ship. She revealed to him that she was Romulus's twin and wanted Wolverine's help in killing her brother. (Wolverine v2 #311)
