In this episode we follow Wolverine through the tough streets of San Fransisco's Chinatown, where he has a complicated history with the locals who seem to  have a straightforward hatred for him. The ol' canucklehead claws and kills his way through time as we follow a story that's fifty years in the making. The battle for the position of The Black Dragon takes us through some super-powered urban warfare in this humorous and action-packed comic. 

Later in the episode we explore some of the potential pitfalls of racial stereotypes and white savior complexes that can emerge in stories such as this and we hear a message from Candice Kortlever, who offers some wonderful insights onto the subject and even shares some of her beautiful music with us.
