Powers: Wolverine is blessed with animal-keen senses. Most notably, his hyper-acute sense of smell enables him to track people and objects by scent. An accelerated healing factor based on Wolverine's physiology allows him to survive wounds that would prove fatal to most humans and mutants.

Weapons: Logan possesses Adamantium-laced, retractable claws housed in his forearms. At will, he can release through his skin between the knuckles on each hand.

History: Little is known about Wolverine or his past, save that he is the best there is at what he does. And what he does is kill. A product of the mysterious Weapon X project, Logan is a trained assassin.

Somehow, his skeletal structure and mutant bone claws were laced with the unbreakable metal known as Adamantium, forging an unstoppable killing machine. This also made him a valued soldier of Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants -- terrorists operating under the assumption that Homo superior represent the next step in human evolution, and that Homo sapiens should live under mutant rule.

Dispatched by the Master of Magnetism to assassinate Professor Charles Xavier, Wolverine defected to the X-Men -- swayed in part by his feelings for Jean Grey, the teenage telepath known as Marvel Girl. He now fights alongside Xavier's young charges to protect a world that hates and fears his kind.
