Marvel Characters - Wolverine


Real name - James Howlett, usually goes by Logan
First appearance - Incredible Hulk #180\

James was born a sick child, though beyond that he was also born a mutant. He has the amazing ability to quickly heal from almsot any wound, some that would ultimately end most people's lives. He also has three sharp claws in each hand, which can slice through bodies.

After learning of this, James left his hometown, though never stayerd in one place for too long. While training and building up his strength, he took on the name Logan, leaving his old name behind.

Trying to create a serum similar to what was used with Captain America, the Canadian government kidnapped Logan and tested the serum on him, and he was then refered to as Weapon X. The government used Logan knowing of his amazing ability to heal himself, and thus they ordered tests that would kill normal men.

They scrambeled his brain so badly, and was deemed more animal than man, and Logan escaped. Logan then lived in the Canadian wilderness for many years, when a couple brought him in. They realized his power, and hoped that one day he would be on par with the American's Fantastic Four.

The man who took him in, Hudson, brought him to an alpha flight where he was given the nickname Wolverine. Soon later though, Professor X came into the scene and offered to take in Wolverine, knowing that he was a Mutant. Professor X takes in mutants, and he himself is one too. They call themelves the X-Men, and Wolverine is one of the most notable and powerful of all of them.
