Wolverine heads to Genosha to stop Gambit, whose actions could be a vital turning point.

Animated series. When Xavier warns Wolverine that a mutant spy will steal Magneto's helmet, Wolverine heads to Genosha, only to find that Gambit is already there.

When an explosive event shatters the lives of the X-Men and takes away their mentor, the beaten heroes walk away from it all. Wolverine, the most legendary of all X-Men, reunites them to prevent the world's destruction.

When Wolverine is tipped off by Future Xavier that a mutant spy hired by Senator Kelly will steal Magneto's helmet, and it may be the flashpoint of the war, he and Nightcrawler set off to try and stop the thief. But Genosha has closed its borders, and it already appears that Magneto is bracing for conflict. 

Gambit arrives on Magneto's shores and openly admits that he is there to steal his helmet, but claims he would rather take refuge in their paradise. Magneto puts Gambit in the guest quarters while he considers his application. Lorna has taken an interest in the mysterious Gambit, who exploits her naivety and asks her to take him on a tour of the island while, unknown to her, he plants explosive devices. 

Wanda, finding her sister smitten with Gambit, is furious and locks him in the underground prison. Lorna is devastated and heartbroken. She sneaks into the cells and will release Gambit if he will take her away from Genosha with him. At Gambit's boat, Lorna almost seems to have second thoughts, as she has never left the island before. 

As she contemplates this, Gambit pushes away from the shore, pulling Magneto's stolen helmet from his satchel. He floats away, apologising for not being the man she thought he was. Enraged by his trickery, Lorna yanks the helmet from Gambit's hands and magnetically draws it back. Her father appears on the shore to his weeping daughter as the island erupts in explosions behind them. 

Has Wolverine lost his best chance to stop the war?
