::WOLVERINE::
Name: James "Logan" Howlett
Codename: Wolverine
Affiliation: X-Men
Age: 121/122
Physical Appearance: Logan is 6'2" (Hugh Jackman) with black hair and brown eyes(Hugh Jackman). Without his Adamantium skeleton, he weighs in at about 195 lbs. and with it, about 300 lbs. Because of his extended lifespan and slow aging process, by appearance, he only looks to be in his early 40's.
Strengths: Wolverine will sometimes lapse into a "berserker rage" while in close combat. In this state he lashes out with the intensity and aggression of an enraged animal and is even more resistant to psionic attack. Though he loathes it, he acknowledges that it has saved his life many times. Despite his apparent ease at taking lives, he does not enjoy killing or giving in to his berserker rages. Logan adheres to a firm code of personal honor and morality.
Weaknesses: One of Logan's strengths is also a weakness. He is prone to a "berserker rage". This can sometimes cause him to act in ways opposite to his personality where he lashes out at anyone. He's also susceptible to mental attacks and has a huge weakness against magnetic powers. Also, his adamantium skeleton makes his body extremely dense, which mean he doesn't float in deep water.
Powers:Adamantium-laced skeletal structure with retractable claws, Regenerative healing factor,
Superhuman senses, strength, agility, stamina, reflexes and longevity.
Other Skills: Expert of virtually all forms of martial arts and is familiar with and experienced in virtually every fighting style on Earth. He is proficient with most weaponry, including firearms, though he is partial to bladed weapons. He also has a wide knowledge of the body and pressure points. He is an accomplished pilot and highly skilled in the field of espionage and covert operations.
History: Born James Howlett and commonly known as Logan, Wolverine is a mutant with a number of both natural and artificial improvements to his physiology, possessing animal-keen senses, enhanced physical capabilities, retracting bone claws, and a healing factor that allows him to quickly recover from virtually any wound, disease or toxin, also enabling him to live beyond a normal human lifespan. This healing ability enabled the super soldier program Weapon X to bond the near indestructible metal alloy adamantium to his skeleton and claws without killing him.
Logan grew into manhood on a mining colony in Northern British Columbia, adopting the name "Logan." Logan leaves the colony and lives for a time in the wilderness among wolves, until returning to civilization, residing with the Blackfoot Indians. Following the death of his Blackfoot paramour, Silver Fox, he is ushered into a Canadian military unit. Logan then spends some time in Madripoor, before settling in Japan, where he marries Itsu and has a son, Daken.
During World War II, Logan teams with Captain America and continues a career as a soldier-of-fortune/adventurer. Logan works for the First Canadian Parachute Battalion and the CIA before being recruited by Team X, a black ops unit.
As a member of Team X, Logan is given false memory implants. He continues on the team, until he is able to break free of the mental control and joins the Canadian Defense Ministry. Logan is subsequently kidnapped by Weapon X, where he remained captive and experimented on, until he escapes. It is during his imprisonment by Weapon X that he has unbreakable adamantium forcibly fused into his bones.
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.
Professor Charles Xavier 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. It was later revealed, however, that Professor X had wiped Logan's memories and forced him to join the X-Men after Wolverine was sent on an assassination attempt to kill Xavier.
