After Wolverine found himself at the hands of Dracula, Logan realized a strong comparison between mutant resurrection and vampires.

In Wolverine #6, Logan found himself betrayed by the mutant Omega Red, who turned against his fellow mutants on Krakoa out of his true loyalty to Dracula and the Vampire Nation. The villain tricked Wolverine and sent him plunging underwater, where he ended up frozen solid and left in a block of ice. The vampires then placed the frozen block of Wolverine in a barn where Dracula joined them to help drain him of blood, allowing them to become Blade-like Daywalkers.

Luckily for Wolverine, three young teenage vampires found and rescued him. They were able to convince Logan they were there to save him and hoped his blood could cure them, which was not the case. But when Wolverine realized what was happening as the other vampires using his blood to attain more power, he saw a parallel with the resurrection system in Krakoa, where any mutant can be resurrected from the dead, essentially as they were.

This issue of Wolverine had two moments that created a strong parallel to the vampires and the mutants in Krakoa. Dracula was the first to point out the similarities, as he mentioned that Wolverine is a lot like himself and other vampires. He said that being almost immortal, they both lived through so much and witnessed horrors while those around them perished. Dracula noted that, just like him, Wolverine "knows even the sunniest day will be eaten by the night."

While that could've be written off as villainous monologuing, Wolverine also had similar thoughts to what the new resurrection protocols meant to the mutants in Krakoa. As Wolverine headed into town to take on the two vampires that allied themselves with Dracula and consumed his blood, he had a theory about the current state of mutants as compared to the vampires that lived throughout the world.

It all started with Logan thinking about a story a man told him once in a bar. The man said that if a person used to be good and became wealthy, they became even better, donating money to charities or other worthy causes. However, if someone were bad and got rich, it would make him worse, possibly a very dangerous individual. Wolverine then realized that it could quickly happen with the mutants in Krakoa, where every mutant received forgiveness for their past sins. Mutants like Omega Red proved that this newfound trust was not always warranted.
