Wolverine is a man who's past is a mystery. It is unclear just
how old he is or where he came from. He goes by the name of Logan, and was
first noticed as an agent of the Canadian government. He had been found
in the wilderness, and was taken in by government officials. He eventually
became Weapon X, Canada's supersoldier and hopeful national symbol. He
possessed several mutant abilities: animal tracking senses, incredible
agility and stamina, and most importantly a healing factor that allowed him
to quickly recover from even the most fatal wounds. The Weapon X program also
laced his bones with adamantium, an unbreakable metal. He also possessed six
retractable claws, which were also covered with the metal. Logan eventually
grew tired of the Weapon X program, and accepted an offer to join Charles
Xavier's X-Men.
Wolverine has made many enemies over the years, including Omega Red and Sabretooth,
his archnemesis. He has often been injured in the line of duty, most
severely when Magneto pulled the adamantium
out of his bones. The metal was later replaced by
Apocalypse, but had it not been for his healing factor he would not have
lived through either process. Through it all, Wolverine has survived, and
remains the heart and soul of the X-Men.
