Character Background

Wolverine was born as James Howlett in northern Alberta, Canada near Cold Lake during the late 19th century, purportedly to wealthy farm owners John and Elizabeth Howlett. However, he is the illegitimate son of the Howletts' groundskeeper, Thomas Logan. He was a sickly boy with as many dark secrets as family money. After his father is murdered, James' mutant powers manifest-and bony claws emerge from his hands in a rage. After committing his first murderous act, James flees the life he knew with his companion, Rose, destined to wander until he settles on a new home and name.

His healing abilities drove trauma from his memories, leaving him partially amnesiac. He and Rose found refuge at a British Columbia stone quarry where Rose, claiming James was her cousin, gave his name as "Logan." Within months, Logan's powers were heightening due to the environment around him. He became healthier and gained senses to rival those of an animal, but he also became more violent. To divert some of this pent-up rage, Logan took part in cage fights where his prowess earned him the nickname "Wolverine." After accidentally killing Rose with his claws, Logan retreated into the woods where he lived as a feral beast, losing all of his former memories.

He would later re-enter society and travel the world, partaking in every major conflict of the 20th century (WWI, WWII, the Spanish Civil War, the Vietnam War) as a soldier, criminal, or mercenary for hire.
