Wolverine
Wolverine is a comic book character that first appeared in The Incredible Hulk #180Wolverine is a mutant turned into the ultimate weapon through the Weapon X program. He found a higher purpose when he joined the X-Men.
Origin of Wolverine
The Man that would become the ultimate killing machine was born James Howlett in the middle of the 19th century in Canada, he was the son of John and Elizabeth Howlett. He grew up a weak and ill boy and often stayed inside. To try to get his son out of the house John brought a girl who was the same age as James up from the village bellow the hill, the girl was called Rose . Rose was Jame's friend and carer, under her care they would go out around the massive gardens. They also made friends with a boy called Dog who was also the same age as James. Dog was the son of the Howlett's ground keeper, Thomas Logan. Thomas and his son lived in a small hut on the Howlett's land, Thomas was a drunk and often beat his son, Thomas had a strong hatred of John Howlett. At first, it seemed because of John's possessions but later it is revealed that he was actually having an affair with James' mother, Elizabeth and could possibly be James' real father.As the children grew older Dog became more like his father and even tried to force himself on Rose but she managed to get away and James told his father and Logan are put on a final warning. For revenge Dog confronted James at his brother's grave and attacked him but was stopped by James' dog; Dog picks up James' dog and slit's it's throat. After this John fired Thomas Logan and had him thrown off his land.
That night Thomas and Dog broke into the mansion and murdered most of the staff with their rifles. They took Rose as a hostage and made their way to the master bedroom to get Elizabeth so that they could run away together but was interrupted by John. Thomas and John started arguing which woke up James. As James walked into the room Thomas shot John and threatened to do the same to James if he was not quiet. In a fit of rage James' mutant power's manifested for the first time, and James unleashed his bone claws, slashing Dog's face and then killing Thomas. James ran out of the home after being rejected by his mother who minutes later killed herself with Thomas' gun.
Rose chased James out the mansion. Confused, Rose went to James' Grandfather for help but all he did was give Rose money and told them to get out. Rose and James caught a train to an small isolated mining village which a man called Smitty owned. While there Rose gave James the name Logan to cover their tracks. Also James became the target of the fat cook Cookie Malone who felt James had taken his place among his friends often beat on James until Smitty broke them up. As the years pass James body and mutant powers develop, James lived with Rose and had developed strong feelings for her but he was scared to act on them, James becomes a good strong worker and never left the job until it was done and because of this the other workers start to call him Wolverine.
James started to idolize Smitty becoming good friends with Smitty also at this time James' grand-father had became ill and wanted to see James again so he sent Dog [now nearly fully grown and is massive in terms of strength and size and still with scars on his face from James' claws] to track them down and bring them back to him but Dog had other idea's, he wanted revenge on James for his father's death, Dog tracked them down to their village where James had only just finished a cage fighting contest where he beat his long time enemy Cookie to a bloody pulp and took a dive in his match with Smitty so that Smitty and Rose would have enough money to leave the village. Dog quickly gained the upper hand on a tired James but something Dog said set James off and with the other villagers watching on James hammers Dog then unleashes his bone claws and is about to kill Dog but Rose tried to stop him but ended up impaled on Logan's claws and died; overcome by grief James fled into the woods with the wolves not to be seen again for some years.
Early Years of Wolverine
At some point in time, Logan travels to another frontier community in the Canadian Rockies. He meets a young Blackfoot woman named Silver Fox, with whom he falls in love. The two share a cabin together and live happily for a time.On Logan's birthday, Sabretooth murdered Silver Fox. Enraged, Logan battles Sabretooth only to be defeated. Sabretooth and a mysterious cloaked figure then convince a feral, mindless Logan to slaughter the inhabitants of the town he had been living in at the time.
Later, employed by The Hudson's Bay Company as a fur trader to the Blackfoot Indians, he defeats the demonic snake-worm known as Uncegila, a feat which earns him the Blackfoot warrior name of "Skunk-Bear". A broad, largely unseen conspiracy then begins to shape Logan, now robbed of his conscience and free will, into the perfect killer. Wherever Logan goes, Sabretooth, one of his handlers, is not far behind.
Wolverine in World War I
Before the war Logan joined a unit in the Canadian military known as the Devil's Brigade. Logan's commanding officer was a super humanly strong man known as Cyber. A sadist, Cyber murdered Logan's girlfriend, a woman named Janet. The two men fought but Cyber defeated Logan and gouged out his left eye. Afterwards, Cyber and Sabretooth tracked him down. They find a feral Logan in the woods and convince him to return. He did so and is sent overseas to Madripoor where he meets a woman named Seraph. It is here that Logan develops his “Patch” persona.While fighting in Belgium on April 22, 1915, Logan encounters a being called Lazaer. Lazaer is armed with a large broadsword and has been using it to kill soldiers on the same battlefield. They soon begin to fight one another, with Lazaer initially gaining the upper hand. After being impaled with Lazaer's sword, Logan pulls it from his chest and stabs it through the chest of his surprised opponent.
Logan is sent to the Romanov family in Russia where he learns espionage and befriends the young Natalia Romanova, who many years later will be known as the Black Widow.
In 1936, Wolverine works alongside time-traveling Kitty Pryde and Rachel Summers to fight Nazi villains Baron von Strucker and Geist, who have allied themselves with the Shadow King to dethrone King Edward VIII and replace him with a fascist heir.
Wolverine in World War II
Wolverine also sees action in the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s, along with good friend Puck.
Eventually, Logan returns to Canada and again enlists in the Armed Forces, joining the First Canadian Parachute Battalion. It is with this battalion that Logan first encounters Bloodscream, an immortal being with vampire-like qualities and powers. At some point, Logan is captured and spends time in a German concentration camp.
After WWII, he travels to China, where he meets a Chinese businessman named Chang, an employee of Landau, Luckman, and Lake. In Shanghai, Logan meets Ogun, an immortal Japanese samurai and sorcerer. Impressed by Logan’s skill, Ogun offers to instruct him in the martial arts, and even teaches him Sun Tzu and ideograms. Wolverine soon develops a deep and lasting love for Japan.
After his training with Ogun, Logan travels to the village of Bando Saburo in order to learn how to be a man. There, he meets and falls in love with a local woman named Itsu. They are married and conceive a child together.
After the demon sword smith Muramasa creates an explosion that causes Logan to accidentally stab a villager with his claws, Logan is banned from the village. Before he leaves, Logan finds Itsu murdered. Unknown to Logan, the mysterious cloaked figure (who later accompanies Sabretooth when he murders Silver Fox) takes the child from Itsu's womb and raises him as the assassin Daken.
Logan gives himself to Muramasa, thinking the villagers are responsible for the murder of Itsu. Muramasa vows to build a sword capable of killing even Logan himself. Logan is later rescued by the Winter Soldier and taken to Madripoor.
Soon after Logan begins working for the American CIA. He is instrumental in the creation of the unbalanced super-soldier, Nuke. On one occasion, Wolverine teams up with Ben Grimm (later known as the Thing) to participate in a Cold War-era government mission. He is then recruited by Team X, a Black Ops section of the CIA.
Team X
Despite his many unusual feats of resilience and regeneration, Logan remains unaware of his mutant nature while with Team X. During this time, he is given false memory implants in order to better control him. His overseers create the Shiva Scenario, an armada of armored robots whose only directive is to terminate Team X agents if they go rogue. Other members of Team X include Sabretooth, Silver Fox, John Wraith, Maverick and Mastodon. Mystique, under the name of Leni Zauber, also assists Team X on occasion. Due to having his memories tampered with, Wolverine doesn't recall his memories of Sabretooth, Silver Fox, or many of the events that have shaped his life.On one of Team X's final missions, Logan and Sabretooth are ordered to assassinate the Soviet super-agent Epsilon Red. The mission is called off but Sabretooth murders Epsilon Red's wife for enjoyment. In Logan's final mission with Team X, he is dispatched to East Germany with Sabretooth, Maverick, and John Wraith to sabotage a Soviet super-soldier program in Berlin, steal an item called the carbonadium synthesizer and extract a double agent named Janice. Team X fights another super-agent, Omega Red. Sabretooth murders Janice after realizing that Logan has recovered his emotions and conscience, reminding Logan that whenever he strays from the narrow path his unseen masters have laid out for him, innocents, most often the women he loves, inevitably die.
Logan learns that he is a mutant and resigns from Team X. He then joins the Canadian Department of National Defense. On one occasion, Logan works with Richard and Mary Parker, government agents and parents of Peter Parker, Spider-Man. Logan also first meets Carol Danvers during this time and works with her on a number of occasions.
Weapon X
In the serialized story "Weapon X", Barry Windsor-Smith created the back story for the man who would become Wolverine.Logan is kidnapped by agents of the Weapon X Program. The man known only as the "Professor," Dr. Abraham Cornelius, and Carol Hines begin to examine Logan. After performing many tests, the Professor learns Logan is a mutant and will thus make the perfect weapon. Logan's bones and claws are bonded with the indestructible metal known as adamantium. This adamantium bonding process was stolen by the Weapon X Program from the Japanese scientist known as Lord Dark Wind.
Logan proves too difficult for the Weapon X Program to control and shortly thereafter, Wolverine escapes the facility with the help of Winter Soldier, killing nearly everyone except for Professor Cornelius, Hines, and Malcolm Colcord.
Driven into a feral-like state by the experiment, Logan wanders the forests of the Canadian Rockies
for months. It is during this feral period that he first encounters the Hunter in Darkness
Department H
Logan is eventually discovered by James and Heather Hudson, who help him recover his humanity. Following his recovery, Logan, this time under the supervision of Department H, once again works for Canadian Intelligence.Logan becomes Wolverine, one of Canada's first superheroes. In his first mission, he is dispatched to stop the destruction caused by a brawl between the Hulk and the Wendigo.
Another documented Department H mission is Wolverine's involvement in a hostage situation in Iraq. Iraqi militants and a group of hired mercenaries seized an American embassy in Iraq and took hostages, giving various ransom demands. Because there are Canadian hostages in the embassy, Wolverine is dispatched to handle the situation, along with an American/Canadian Delta Force. The reclaiming of the embassy is successful. However, following the battle, Wolverine finds a Canadian nun dying from a bullet wound she received in the crossfire. She tells him about how the hired American mercenaries had harassed her daily and subjected her to extreme psychological torture. Wolverine promises the nun he would avenge the suffering, and years later he hunts down the mercenaries in North America and kills them.
James Hudson soon creates Alpha Flight and recruits Logan with the intention of making him team leader.
Wolverine in the X-Men
Professor X recruits Wolverine to a new team of X-Men. Disillusioned with his Canadian intelligence work and intrigued by Xavier's offer, Logan resigns from Department H. Professor X gathers a new team of X-Men to free Cyclops' team from the mutant island known as Krakoa. Logan and the other new X-Men successfully rescue the previous team, marking the beginning of a new period in Logan's life. Logan forms an immediate friendship with Nightcrawler and a strong attraction to Jean Grey, which causes frequent clashes between him and Cyclops.James Hudson eventually finds Wolverine and tries to force him to return him to Department H, but is defeated quickly. Later, in Japan, Wolverine encounters lady Mariko Yashida, heir to an extremely powerful Yakuza family in Tokyo.During an intimate scene in a garden Wolverine begins to tell Mariko his name but is interrupted by Mandroids and Moses Magnum. After the battle and before leaving Japan, he finally tells Mariko his name is "Logan" and presents her with a white chrysanthemum. It is the first time he reveals the name he calls himself. As time passes, he falls for Mariko, as Jean Grey is attached.
Vindicator returns as the leader of Canada's first superhero team Alpha Flight. With his new team, he attempts to capture Wolverine. Not long after the X-Men defeat Alpha Flight, Jean Grey, possessed by Phoenix, dies. Cyclops leaves the team in grief, and Storm takes up the mantle of the X-Men's leader. Kitty Pryde joins the team and eventually becomes one of Wolverine's closest friends.
Wolverine, donning his brown and tan outfit for the first time, travels to Canada with Nightcrawler in tow to make peace with Alpha Flight by helping them take down the Wendigo once more. During this adventure, Wolverine's teammates finally learn his name.
In his first solo limited series, written by Chris Claremont and drawn by Frank Miller, Wolverine seemingly overcomes his feral nature in order to win the love and respect of Mariko Yashida. The two are engaged after Wolverine kills Lord Shingen Harada. However, the wedding is broken off by Viper and the Silver Samurai, as well as the manipulations of the villain Mastermind.
In another story, Wolverine rescues and takes it upon himself to watch over Amiko Kobayashi (sometimes written Akiko), daughter of a woman killed in the aftermath of a fight between the X-Men and a giant dragon over Tokyo. In subsequent stories Logan continues to visit Amiko, although she is now under the care of his close friend and sometime lover Yukio.
Wolverine later travels with Kitty Pryde to Japan to confront his former mentor Ogun, who had been killed years earlier. Ogun possesses Kitty and makes her his assassin, but Logan helps her overcome him and force him from her body. During a savage battle with Ogun, Wolverine realizes that his feral side will always be there and that it is something that he must always fight to keep under control. Afterwards, Logan and Kitty become very close friends, and she becomes like a daughter to him.
When Storm's powers are lost and she leaves the X-Men for a time, Wolverine briefly becomes leader of the X-Men. His team consists of Havok, Colossus, Rogue, Psylocke, Dazzler, and Longshot. This team is mainly featured in the crossover events The Fall of the Mutants and Inferno. After the events of Fall of the Mutants, the X-Men, who sacrifice their lives, are reborn in the Australian Outback. There, runaway mutant Jubilee saves Wolverine's life from an attack by Lady Deathstrike and crucifixion by the Reavers. She eventually becomes, as Kitty and Amiko did before her, another surrogate daughter. Wolverine also returns to Madripoor during this time and re-assumes alias 'Patch.'
Apocalypse tricks Wolverine into journeying to the Savage Land. While there, Wolverine sleeps with the female chieftain, Gahck, of an indigenous tribe. He discovers an insane robot duplicate of Apocalypse, which he destroys, putting an end to Apocalypse's experiments on the tribe. He unknowingly sires a son with Gahck, whom she names " Erista."
Wolverine later renews his feud with Cable, but then assists Cable and the New Mutants against Stryfe and his Mutant Liberation Front. Wolverine's filial relationship with Sabretooth is revealed to have been a memory implant, and he then returns to his original costume. After the X-Men return to America, Wolverine returns to the Weapon X base in Canada. There, he learns many of his memories are implants and his personality becomes much darker. He also fights the robot Shiva for the first time.
Wolverine travels back to Japan and reunites with Mariko, though she refuses to rekindle their love until her clan ceases all illegal activities. However, she is soon poisoned by a Yakuza assassin working for Matsuo Tsurayaba, who bears a grudge against Wolverine. Mariko asks Wolverine to end her life quickly, and he reluctantly complies. This changes Wolverine's character significantly, making him even more disciplined and emotionally distant. Wolverine vows to Matsu'o that on each anniversary of Mariko's death he will visit him and slice off a body part until there is nothing of him left.
Shortly after Mariko's death, Wolverine is shocked to learn that Silver Fox is still alive. The two former lovers rejoin their former Team X teammates Sabretooth, Maverick, John Wraith, and Mastodon, with Jubilee and Caroline Hines of the Weapon X Program in tow, in hunting down Aldo Ferro a.k.a "Psi-Borg," a powerful psychic who brainwashed many of them for Weapon X. Ferro kills Hines and then forces Sabretooth to kill Silver Fox before dying himself.
Wolverine suffers a mental breakdown after the deaths of Mariko and Silver Fox. Thinking he is on a prior Team X mission to assassinate someone named "Terry Adams", Wolverine breaks into a Russian space program facility and encounters Epsilon Red, a genetically-engineered cosmonaut with powerful psychic abilities. Red, the "Terry Adams" Wolverine is after, breaks down many of the mental blocks in Wolverine's mind in return for help escaping the facility. With this greater knowledge of which memories are true and which are false, Wolverine is finally able to pick up the pieces of his shattered life.
This happiness is short-lived, for at the end of the Fatal Attractions crossover, the adamantium is ripped from Wolverine's skeleton by Magneto. This act injures Wolverine so severely his mutant healing factor burns itself out in order to keep him alive. In fact, most of Wolverine's other natural abilities including his heightened senses, strength, stamina, agility, and reflexes are weakened as well.
Unwilling to accept his severely weakened state, Wolverine begins training in the Danger Room. In a fit of rage and frustration, his claws, now bone, extrude. Furthermore, each time he extrudes them, they pierce the skin of his hands and cause severe tissue damage and blood loss. Feeling useless, Logan embarks on a series of solo adventures, leaving a note with Jubilee to explain his views on the matter.
During these adventures, he encounters some past enemies, such as the adamantium-skinned Cyber, the Reaver known as Cylla, and the vampiric Bloodscream. Cyber ends up being the first to break Wolverine's newly discovered bone claws. While traveling alone, Wolverine stops for a training session with Generation X and encounters his Weapon X ally Maverick and his X-Men teammate Gambit in Madripoor, before learning Sabretooth is staying at Xavier's. Wolverine returns and defeats Sabretooth in battle while the X-Men are away. The battle ends with Wolverine puncturing Sabretooth's brain, temporarily altering Sabretooth's vicious personality until the injury is fully healed.
Later, tests and studies jointly conducted by Professor Charles Xavier, Beast, and Heather Hudson show the mutation endowing Wolverine with his powers is an ongoing process. Unlike most mutants, he continues to mutate slowly over the course of his life. As a result, Wolverine's powers, particularly his heightened senses and accelerated healing, slowly increase. However, after Wolverine's skeleton was bonded with adamantium by the Weapon X Program, this mutation was slowed, his powers beyond any other point in his life. It is also revealed during this time that Wolverine's mutation process will eventually cause him to degenerate physically into a more primitive, bestial state. The studies also reveal, aside from suppressing his ongoing mutation, the presence of adamantium also slowed his mutant healing factor. The adamantium laced to his skeleton is treated as a foreign substance by his healing factor, which constantly devotes a great deal of effort attempting to remove the metal,causing him to heal slower from other injuries. After Magneto ripped the adamantium from Wolverine's skeleton, and his body completely healed from the injuries, the mutation resumed, at a greatly accelerated rate. The studies show accelerated mutation has increased and so did his healing factor.
Some time later, the villain known as Genesis, who is the son of Wolverine's ally Cable, kidnaps Wolverine and attempts to re-bond adamantium to his skeleton in an attempt to transform Wolverine into a Horseman of Apocalypse.The attempt is unsuccessful, and the process pushes Wolverine so far to the edge that he becomes purely feral. Enraged, Wolverine stalks the Dark Riders in their headquarters and eventually kills them all before fleeing. With the help of Elektra and Stick, he is able to regain his humanity and reverse the bulk of his feral regression, though his increased powers remain.
Wolverine as Death: Horseman of Apocalyps
Wolverine lives without adamantium for some time before being kidnapped by the villain Apocalypse. Apocalypse sets up a contest between Wolverine and an adamantium-bonded Sabretooth to determine who would become the new leader of his Four Horsemen.Although he knows winning means being brainwashed and turned against his friends, Wolverine supposes that Sabretooth would enjoy being set loose as a killing machine, while he himself might be able to fight it. Emerging victorious he is made the Horseman Death, and Apocalypse strips the adamantium from Sabretooth and bonds it to Wolverine's skeleton once more.
While Wolverine serves Apocalypse as the Horseman Death, a Skrull impostor takes his place on the X-Men. The real Wolverine later kills the Skrull impostor. Wolverine eventually overcomes Apocalypse's conditioning with the help of Jubilee.
Some time later, Wolverine is captured by the Weapon X program, restarted under the leadership of Director Malcolm Colcord, a soldier Wolverine disfigured when he escaped from the original Weapon X facility. It is revealed that the mental implants installed by the original program are still functional, as Colcord uses them to force Wolverine into tracking down and eliminating former members of the program. Wolverine's mental implants are finally destroyed when he assassinates the previous director.Soon after, it is revealed that the "X" in "Weapon X" was a Roman numeral, making Wolverine "Weapon Ten" in a sequence of living super-weapons that began with Captain America and Isaiah Bradley. The Weapon X program that experimented on Wolverine spun out of a larger "Weapon Plus" program, leading Wolverine to join Cyclops and the mysterious Fantomex, himself Weapon XIII, on a mission to bring down Weapon Plus and discover Wolverine's true identity.
During the assault on Weapon Plus, Wolverine kills Weapon XV, also known as Ultimaton.Wolverine then gains access to the Weapon X files that describe his genesis, though this happens largely off-panel and it is not clear to the reader precisely what he learns. What is known is that he was intended to be a living Sentinel and that, to test the extent of his brainwashing, he was forced to exterminate the populace of a small Midwestern town called Roanoke. Wolverine becomes depressed and angry after learning he was created to hunt and exterminate his own people, though Jean Grey is able to convince him that no matter what his makers intended for him, he is still a good man. Shortly thereafter Jean Grey is killed and Wolverine, in a feral rage, slices off the head of her killer, "Magneto". Enemy Of The State Wolverine is brainwashed into becoming an agent of an alliance between HYDRA and the Hand. While under their control, he kills Northstar. He is eventually rescued by S.H.I.E.L.D. and he uses their resources to exact his revenge. Soon after, Wolverine is recruited by the New Avengers, because he is willing to "cross the lines they refuse to cross;"after the events of Avengers Disassembled, Iron Man recognizes the need to have someone who is prepared to kill on the team should something like what happened to the Scarlet Witch occur again. He serves alongside such notable Marvel heroes as Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man and Luke Cage.
Evolution
While beng held captive, Sabretooth is questioned by Wolverine about a being called Romulus, who is a prominent figure in Wolverine's dreams. However, he fearfully refuses to answer any questions regarding him. The Black Panther later reveals a possible connection between Wolverine's dreams and a graveyard filled with the skeletons of humanoid beings with fangs and claws. The Black Panther theorizes that some mutants that have various animal-like powers and physical features evolved from canine ancestry rather than apes.
Soon afterward they are joined by Wolfsbane, Feral, Thornn, and Sasquatch at the request of the Black Panther and make their way to the original Weapon X compound in hopes of uncovering some answers. While separated from the group, Sasquatch is attacked and severely injured by Wild Child. Wild Child provides hints to Wolverine that Romulus has always been watching him and that he is responsible for a noticeable upgrade in Wild Child's mutant powers.
Sabretooth escapes and, before Wolverine is able to track him down, viciously attacks and kills Feral.Wolverine journeys back to the X-Mansion to ask Cyclops to give him the Muramasa Blade, meaning to put an end to the threat Sabretooth represents, once and for all. Cyclops reluctantly gives Wolverine the sword (on the urging of Emma Frost) and he sets off to track Sabretooth down. Wolverine finds Sabretooth at the cabin that he and Silver Fox once shared, which is the place where Wolverine considers his rivalry with Sabretooth began. Wolverine then kills Sabretooth using the Muramasa Blade.
Civil War
Wolverine's next adventure finds him battling a new terrorist organization known as Scimitar. After raiding one of their safe houses, he uncovers a plot to kill Tony Stark and races to S.H.I.E.L.D headquarters aboard the Blackbird. Upon arrival, he soon discovers the entire facility is disguised via an image inducer and is actually another Scimitar base. He is attacked by an unknown assailant wearing an adamantium laced uniform. After killing Amir, Logan's latest romantic interest, the assailant shoves an explosive device down Wolverine's throat and detonates it. Wolverine's body is found later by S.H.I.E.L.D agents, with Tony Stark present. Stark notes that Wolverine's body is fully healed, but he is brain dead and his consciousness didn't regenerate along with his body, as it normally does.Doctor Strange removes Wolverine's body from the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier and discovers that Wolverine's soul is trapped in Purgatory. While in Purgatory, Wolverine battles Lazaer, the swordsman he first encountered during World War I.
The name, Lazaer, is revealed to be an anagram for Azrael, the Angel of Death. While Wolverine's body always fully heals from his injuries, the return of his consciousness to his body depends upon the outcome of these battles with Lazaer. After losing another loved one, Wolverine's will to survive fades. Azrael is able to defeat him and Wolverine's soul is sent onto some semblance of the afterlife. With Dr. Strange's help, Wolverine discovers that his will to survive has slowly fading ever since he was killed and resurrected by the Hand and HYDRA. After making this discovery, Wolverine is returned to life. Alive, he now searches for a woman named Phaedra who was present at his transformation by the Hand and HYDRA. When he finds her, he is shocked to learn that she has been working for a resurrected Shingen Yashida, whom Wolverine killed long ago.Shingen and Wolverine do battle once again in the presence of Phaedra, and Wolverine comes out the victor using the same move he used to kill Shingen before. He then converses with Phaedra as to why this woman has it out with him. It is then revealed that Azrael has been working with Phaedra as well, as Wolverine is brought into conflict with both Azrael and Shogun, the man in the adamantium-laced suit that killed Amir. It is then revealed that Phaedra has a little bit of Azrael's power within her, and in the effort of getting it back, Azrael has put himself closer to her. With that, Wolverine offers to kill Phaedra for the restoration of his soul frees Azrael's uneasiness by killing Phaedra. By killing Phaedra, Wolverine accepts that he ends the arrangement with Azrael. As a result, if Wolverine dies again, it's permanent. Azrael also informs him that he can't promise that his healing factor will remain as strong as it has been. Wolverine accepts this and leaves, stating that he has no intention of dying.
Messiah Complex
Wolverine is part of the X-Men team that investigates the detection of a new mutant born in Alaska. Believing that Mr. Sinister and his allies have the child, Wolverine, Storm, Angel, Nightcrawler, and Colossus search for Sinister's base. Wolverine's team confronts Sinister and the Marauders at Sinister's base, where a battle breaks out. During the fight Wolverine confronts Gambit and stabs him through the abdomen. He then questions his former teammate and learns that it is in fact Cable who has the mutant baby.
Later in the arc, Cyclops orders Wolverine to assemble the X-Force (a team consisting of Wolverine, X-23, Wolfsbane, Warpath, Hepzibah, and Caliban) to hunt down Cable and retrieve the new mutant baby by any means necessary.Tracking Cable to Canada, X-Force finds Cable already in battle with the Purifiers, led by Lady Deathstrike. Wolverine leads his X-Force into the battle and leaves his personal history with Deathstrike aside and allows X-23 to battle her so he can capture Cable. As Wolverine, Caliban and Warpath chase after the fleeing Cable, Caliban throws himself before a bullet meant for Warpath. Cable uses the confusion to double-back on the team and steal their Blackbird jet and escape. Wolverine blames himself for Cable escaping. Later on, the X-Force attack the Marauders, however, the X-Men arrive, and in the ensuing battle, Wolverine destroys Predator X by letting him swallow him, and slashing his way out of the Predator's stomach.
Get Mystique
"Get Mystique." The story begins with a brief flashback revealing that Logan and Mystique first met in Mexico in 1921. Back in the present day, Wolverine is in the Middle East tracking Mystique, presumably to kill her for betraying the X-Men in Messiah Complex. Mystique evades Logan by blowing up a Mosque in Tehran, and then travels over the border to Afghanistan. There she impersonates Wolverine and kills a local village girl, tricking the villagers into going after Wolverine. Mystique does not appear to be suffering from any lasting effects from being touched by Rogue. It is hinted at that Mystique's recent betrayal is not the only reason Logan is out to kill her, as they apparently have a common history of friendship, love, and ultimately, betrayal. After a heated fight Wolverine manages to fatally wound Mystique, but he chooses to deny her the mercy blow. Instead, he drops a gun and leaves in the sunset, leaving Mystique to scream and curse behind him. During Secret Invasion, Wolverine was with the New Avengers when they went to the Savage Land to investigate a downed Skrull ship.
When the ship is opened by Luke Cage, out comes superheroes in their 70's looks that claimed they had made it back to Earth. One of them was Wolverine who asks both the Mighty Avengers and New Avengers who they are. After an ensuing fight, the Wolverine from the ship disappears into the jungle. The New Avengers Wolverine later caught up with Iron Man and Black Widow and is shot. But he survives with hints that he is not a Skrull. During the battle of New York, Wolverine engages in combat with Veranke, who burns off portions of his skin. He retaliates, stabbing her through the shoulder with his claws. Just as he gains the clear upper hand Hawkeye injures Veranke with an arrow, ending the brawl. After the death of the Wasp, Wolverine attempts to finish off Veranke, but is beat to the punch will a kill shot from Norman Osborn, setting him up for his position in Dark Reign.
Wolverine Origins
Origins is a second ongoing series, starring Wolverine in his quest as a result of the "Origins & Endings" storyline. At the beginning of the series, he encounters a Shiva robot while trying to extract information from a government foe. After defeating the robot with the Muramasa Blade, those in the government hiding from Logan send Frank Simpson a.k.a. Nuke against him. It is revealed through flashbacks that Wolverine takes Nuke from his family as a child, during the Vietnam War, and is responsible for implanting a trigger word into Nuke that causes him to massacre a Vietnamese village. All this is apparently part of an attempt to recreate Wolverine, already a living weapon prior to Weapon X. Exactly who is controlling Wolverine at this point remains unclear at this time.
After defeating Nuke in South Vietnam, he then fights Captain America who has been sent to stop Wolverine's path of vengeance once and for all. Cyclops, Emma Frost, and Hellion of the X-Men enter the fray and stop Wolverine (driven berserk by a slash from the Muramasa Blade Captain America managed to take from him) from killing the famous hero.Emma calms the combatants telepathically
and reveals to Wolverine his son is still alive and that the boy's name is Daken. Emma also warns Wolverine his boy doesn't seem to have any thoughts of his own, similar to how Wolverine has been controlled so many times before. Wolverine remembers when Sabretooth killed Silver Fox all those years ago, and how her murder was arranged by those who want to bring out the beast in him and turn him to their side. He assumes something similar has been done to his son by his enemies in order to gain control over him.Emma advises Wolverine to end his mission of revenge as he has a son to rescue. He entrusts Cyclops with the Muramasa Blade, explaining that the captors of his son will most likely brainwash him if they are able to capture him. Wolverine makes Cyclops promise to use the sword to kill him if that time ever comes. Emma informs Wolverine that, above all else, his son hates him. Wolverine tells her that he hates himself, as well, for all the terrible things he's done under his enemies' control. Wolverine meets his boy Wolverine remembers carbonadium weakened his mutant healing factor and thinking it may provide him with a way to take down his son without killing him, he travels back to America to find Maverick.
Maverick was part of Team X during Wolverine's first encounter with the carbonadium synthesizer and the villainous Omega Red. He had also been entrusted with it by Wolverine a few years back. Wolverine tracks Maverick to a building in New York City where mutants, powered and de-powered alike, are taking refuge and is surprised to see Jubilee there. Their reunion is short-lived, however, as Omega Red mysteriously bursts into the building, nearly killing Jubilee and demanding Maverick tell him where the carbonadium synthesizer is.Wolverine and Omega Red fight while Maverick and Jubilee evacuate the de-powered mutants. Wolverine remembers his first encounter with carbonadium, when his handlers in Team X tested it on him before they rewrote his memories like they did after every one of his missions. As they were taking him to the device that would brainwash him, he fought back, killing one of the scientists with a blow to the throat. He threatened the other scientist, popping his (bone) claws accidentally. Seeing his claws made him remember everything that Team X had taken from him. He asked the scientist who gave the orders and he said he didn't know. Wolverine, smelling that he was not lying, ordered him to tell him what he did know.
The scientist is contacted via telephone every time Wolverine needs to be mind-wiped. When he completes his task, he tells Wolverine that he barely made it out alive of whatever mission he was on and then gives him a dossier detailing his next mission. Wolverine asks for the dossier he would normally be given. He tells the scientist to tell whoever was in charge that the brainwashing was successful and then leaves, intending to participate in this mission. The mission is in Berlin, where he first encountered Omega Red.In the present, Wolverine is overpowered by Omega Red. Red tackles him through a wall where they land on the rooftop of an adjacent building. Wolverine is briefly knocked unconscious, while Omega Red makes his way back to the building where Maverick last was. Wolverine, hearing Jubilee scream for him, rushes back into the building. He finds a wounded Maverick who tells him that Omega Red has Jubilee and that he told the villain to whom he gave the carbonadium synthesizer.With Dum Dum Dugan and S.H.I.E.L.D. hot on his trail, Wolverine travels to Berlin where he reminisces about his Team X mission there. He had undertaken the mission (to steal the carbonadium synthesizer from a German laboratory), pretending he was still under the control of his handlers, to see if he could get any answers as to who was directing him.
Remembering his past with Sabretooth, he intended to use the carbonadium synthesizer on his old adversary since it shorted out mutant healing factors. Before he could do so, Omega Red attacked. As Team X fled with a defecting German scientist, Sabretooth realized Wolverine had regained control and executed the scientist. The scientist was a woman, and Sabretooth was advised to kill any available female targets when Wolverine broke free of his masters' control, since it showed him that whenever he wasn't kept on a tight leash, "pretty things die."In the present, Wolverine meets up with the Black Widow. The details as to how Wolverine first became involved with the Widow and her father are revealed, as are the details of his first mission as a covert operative in a number of flashbacks. During a brief skirmish with S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, Jubilee is severely injured. Wolverine surrenders to the agents after they promise to save Jubilee's life. After being taken to a S.H.I.E.L.D. base and placed into restraints, Wolverine's son, disguised as a S.H.I.E.L.D agent, enters the room where Wolverine is being held, after using his bone claws to wound Dum Dum Dugan (despite the apparent seriousness of the injury, Joe Quesada recently confirmed Dugan was not killed. A tear rolls down Wolverine's cheek as, he notes to himself, just how much his son seems like him. Wolverine's son announces his disgust at how "weak" Wolverine is and uses his claws to slash him across the stomach, before leaving him to bleed on the floor. Wolverine quickly heals from the injuries, however, and escapes from the facility.He later finds his son, but he is soon confronted by his old foe, a reborn Cyber. Cyber fights Daken, and is about to defeat him, until Wolverine grabs Cyber from behind, letting Daken escape. An enraged Cyber attacks Wolverine, but has a heart attack in the middle of the fight. However, Cyber came for his son and Wolverine later learns that Cyber trained his son in the field of combat.
Wolverine gets this information in exchange for saving Cyber's life.After confronting Cyber, Wolverine decides to take a moment of rest and heads to the Captain America museum, where he reflects on his first meeting with the former hero during the events of World War II. Deadpool is hired by an unknown party to kill Wolverine. After fighting throughout San Francisco, Deadpool eventually captures Wolverine. With Wolverine tied up and suspended over a pool of water, Deadpool prepares to drop him into the pool, intending to drown him. However, Daken soon arrives and slices off Deadpool's hand before pulling the lever that drops Wolverine into the pool. Daken and Deadpool battle until Wolverine recovers. The Winter Soldier shoots Daken in the head with a carbonadium bullet, incapacitating him. Wolverine explains he hired Deadpool and called on a favor from the Winter Soldier to knock out Daken and get him some help. Dad would be proud He eventually tries to search out for Professor Xavier, after learning from Cyclops that the former X-men leader was alive, to assist in his son memory lost. During their mission, they get involved in a battle with Sebastian Shaw and the new Hellfire club, who have kidnapped Daken and tried to convince him to their side.
Along the way it was learned that during the first days of Wolverine's involvement with the X-men, that he was sent by Romulus in order to assassinate Professor Xavier. However, Xaiver saw his attack and further detains Wolverine by wiping his mind again. It was then that Romulus focused his attention on Daken.Wolverine and Professor Xavier were able to save Draken and reveal to him the truth surrounding his mother's death. In the end, Wolverine forgave Professor Xavier over his recent actions with the X-men and his own actions with mind wiping Wolverine. He stating that between losing his memories and regaining them, that the Professor gave Wolverine a reason to live his life and become a hero to be proud of. Wolverine then hopes that Professor would forgive him later on after he and his son are willing to kill Romulus for his actions against them.Now reunited and with a cause, both father and son began searching for Romulus, but they later run into Cyber who wants to help them within their quest. Daken later betrays his father to team-up with Cyber, but he later betrays Cyber and escapes on his own once more. Despite the fact that Daken now knows the truth surrounding his mother's death, has still not reconciled with his father. Later, Wolverine meets up with Nick Fury in a bar, as they recently received the news of Daken's involvement with the Dark Avengers. Fury, later reveals all that he knows about Romulus and his connections. They soon fly to New York and try to stop Cyclops and the X-men from killing Daken with the Muramasa Blade. This unfortunatley all ends with the Tinkerer bonding Daken's muramasa claw to adamantium. Logan after that travels to Russia to take out Romulus once and for all. Romulus right hand man, Victor, sends right into a trap with the just realsed prisoner Omega Red. After thier insuing battle, Wolverine is badly injured, and to make matters worse, Wildchild is waiting for him. He bonds Wolverine over a pot of Moulton Iron and is preparing to dunk him when Omega Red arrives for his Carbanadium synthesizer and kills Wildchild, but allowing Wolverine to escape and Omega Red follows him where he mistakesn Wolverine for being American, Logan mentions if he would ever remember that he is a Canadian, then throws the Muramasa Blade right through the heart of Omega Red. In his dying words, he asks if the sword could kill Romulus, Logan says yes, that is when Romulus appears right behind him and says: "We'll see about that." After that, Romulus and Wolverine engage in battle with Romulus ending up beating Wolverine, badly. Logan gets on his motorbike and drives off. He thinks of how bad he was beaten by Romulus, and than goes to a man he is famous with having violent battles with. Bruce Banner, the Hulk. Banner tells him of how he can't be the Hulk anymore, but suggest to Logan, his son Skaar. After their conversation, Skaar smashes Wolverine through the ground and stops at his whist. To make matters even more worse, Skaar picks him up, and throws him miles away. He ends up falling through a cut tree trunk. He makes his way, through it, and heals his pain. He reports back to Utopia, and from their he recruits new X member Dagger (with Skaar and Banner on board). From their he goes on to make a jail break to gain Ruby Thursday into his team in order for him to defeat Romulus.

Powers and Abilities
Like all other super-powered mutants, Wolverine was born with a special power, which in his case was an incredible healing ability which would enable him to recover from injuries at surprising speed. It appears to be this ability that made it possible for Wolverine's entire skeleton to be reinforced with adamantium, the Marvel Universe's most nearly indestructible known metal. Wolverine's claws, which he uses as the deadliest of weapons, are made of adamantium, too, and extend from the backs of his hands at his mental command. There is more to that hot temper that Wolverine displays: he has an animalistic, murderous side to his personality that once seemed wholly uncontrollable. Even when Wolverine is in full control of himself, he can be ruthless with his enemies. However unlike other mutants Wolverine will never stop mutating, this means his abilities like his healing factor will continue to get stronger.
Wolverine is a mutant with the abilities to rapidly heal and regenerate damage inflicted upon his body. His healing factor has increased in strength through the years that the only way to kill Wolverine is to decapitate him and remove his brain from the vicinity of his body. He is immune to most drugs and poisons, and his rate of aging has been slowed down considerably. His healing factor was originally supposed to be just accelerated healing, however, through the years, writers have made his healing much more powerful to the point where he could regenerate lost organs. Since Wolverine has the ability to heal quickly, his stamina is practically limitless. An example of Wolverine's incredible stamina is when he fought Omega Red for 18 straight hours. Wolverine’s healing factor also allows him to push his strength beyond any normal human being’s limit.
Wolverine also possesses amazing agility and reflexes. He possess animalistic senses which allow him to see further than normal humans, and also enables him to track people by scent. His other senses are so strong that even in complete darkness, Wolverine can basically see through it. His hearing ability allows him to hear things humans cannot and he can also hear things from a great distance. Wolverine’s physical build is also a part of his mutation in which he has sharp teeth and three retractable bone Wolverine's Claws housed in his fore-arms. His bone claws are strong enough to cut through most types of materials. When he extracts the claws, it always cuts through his knuckles but his healing factor closes the wound right away. His skeletal system and claws are coated with adamantium making them virtually unbreakable during the Weapon X program. The adamantium gives Wolverine the ability to cut through any solid material. With the adamantium infused throughout his skeleton, it protects his brain since it is laced through the skull. The adamantium being laced all over his skeleton also allows Wolverine to lift heavy objects without shattering any bones.
Skills
Wolverine is considered one of the best hand to hand fighters in the world. He has exceptional hand-to-hand fighting skills, as well as being adept at using many different types of weapons. Throughout his entire life traveling the world, Wolverine has become a master of every form of martial arts. Wolverine was also a samurai and was a skilled katana user. Wolverine is one of if not the best hand to hand fighter on Earth, he has defeat other master fighter's like Shang-Chi and he has beaten Captain America many times, he has killed thousands of Hand ninja's at a time. Wolverine is also skilled in espionage due to his time in the army and being made a weapon. He recently took down 5 Mystic Masters at the same time without even pulling out his claws.
In addition to his physical skills, Wolverine is very intelligent. Having had an increased lifespan, he traveled around the world and amassed knowledge of foreign culture. He speaks fluent English, Japanese, Russian, Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, Cheyenne, and Lakota and knows some French, German, Thai, Vietnamese, Italian, and Portuguese.
Wolverine has the ability to go into berserk rage in which his mind acts on animal instinct and rage. During this mode he is immune to any psionic attack and attacks relentlessly.
Wolverine is also capable of using attacks such as the Fastball Special, a move which was perfected with Colossus. It involves Colossus throwing Wolverine at much greater speeds than he could have attained on his own. It is also beneficial in helping Wolverine reach areas that he couldn't have reached on his own. A slightly different technique is also used with Cannonball, known as the Cannonball Special.

Wolverine and the X-Men
Wolverine And The X-Men Wolverine is the main character in the new animated series. He left the X-Men when the Professor and Jean grey mysteriously disappear after an explosive attack on the mansion. While on the road he becomes involved with a human family who are subsequently arrested for aiding a mutant. With Beast's help he liberates the human family and begins to reform the X-Men. The Professor telepathically contacts the X-Men from 20 years in the future and appoints Wolverine as the leader of the X-Men and gives him the task to prevent an apocalyptic future that is ruled by the Sentinels.His relationships with the other X-Men are not always straightforward. He appeared oblivious to some sort of unrequited feelings from Rogue, and he distrusted her after she joined the Brotherhood. Emma Frost literally turned up on the doorstep demanding to join the X-Men. Although Wolverine clearly disliked her she was the only telepath around, and therefore the only capable of using Cerebro. Wolverine continues to distrust Frost until she defeats the Shadow King in a battle on the Astral Plane and later helps patch together some of his memories surrounding Weapon X. Cyclops was angry with Wolverine before the mysterious blast, but continued to push Logan away. He was initially reticent to join the X-Men and was visibly shocked & hurt when the Professor chose Wolverine to lead
the team. Although Wolverine does not appear to have any memories of Sabretooth, it has been established that he has a past with Nick Fury, S.H.I.E.L.D and the Incredible Hulk. He also appears to have forgotten about a previous relationship with Mystique due to the Weapon X process erasing all of his previous memories. His efforts to understand who he used to be and why he gave up his past life has brought him closer to Christie Nord, Maverick's daughter.Not all of Wolverine's relationships are strained. He clearly enjoys sneaking up on Beast when he in engrossed in research and respects Angel for helping to rebuild the mansion. He also has a strong sense of friendship with Nightcrawler and Storm. Wolverine clearly respects Professor Xavier, whom he turns to for counsel and help with his fragmented memories.To date, the entire series has not been broadcast in any country. As of the first dozen episodes, Wolverine continues to seek to bring the X-Men together in order to prevent a Days of Future Past style future from happening.
