Character Information
Name: James "Logan" Howlett Wolverine
Age: 185 years old, appears to be in his thirties
Gender: Male
Species: Mutant
Faction: The X-Men and part time Avenger
Family: Not many most of them are dead except a few. Daken and Erista (Alive but unknown to Wolverine), Alora Darkholme (Granddaughter) Victor Creed (Arch Rival and enemy, possible brother relationship)
Personality: Logan is one of the older members of the X-Men and later joined the Avengers when he was formed. Logan is a gruff old soldier that seems to dwell much on wondering what his mysterious past was like. Logan is also an old timer as he relies on many things that he still remembers from the past such as fighting, he uses the old ways to help him. Many have assumed him to be ruthless in fighting but there is a caring side towards himself. Logan seems to have a soft spot for some of the X-Men girls such as Kitty Pride and Jean Grey. And often he would get into fights with one of the leaders such as Scott Summers for their different views on things of what to do. None the less Logan is a good member to have when it comes to fighting as he is always able to come up with some way to help out the X-Men or Avengers.
Appearance: One of the most noticeable features that Logan has is a scruffy beard that he has kept clean over the years. Logan has black hair that covers his head. Logan stands at five foot three and weighs one hundred ninety five pounds without his adamantium. And with his adamantium within his body he weighs three hundred pounds evenly. Logan has blue eyes as well. One unique feature that he has is animal like canine teeth instead of having the normal canines that most people have.
Logan's powers also gave him another figure that would stand out, six retractable claws, all that are sharp bone and one foot long are hidden away in muscle in his hands right above the knuckles. Logan has to concentrate on bringing out his claws and they are covered in sharp adamantium that has a silver color. The only down side to these adamantium claws is that each time he brings them out they cause his knuckles to bleed for breaking the skin. Normally his healing factor takes care of the wounds instantly so after a long time he gradually got used to it. Logan also has a Canadian accent that can be heard on most of the words, over the years it has faded a bit but it is certainly there.
History: Must of Logan's past remains a mystery to himself, he has tried to follow or retrace his past several times but has found it useless to try and pick up the pieces. Only a few people who are alive today know what had happened so long ago. Basically Logan had been born to the Howlett Family out in Canada where they lived during the Civil War, the house was brought in by one of the drunken family members and was going to attack Logan's mother. But almost out of instinct Logan came forward and struck the attacker with his bone claws, striking him and killing him instantly. It had been the grounds keeper who had actually turned out to be his father. Stunned at what Logan had done he was forced to flee the area and head for cover before the others would attack him and someone else was with him, Victor Creed was with him as the two were soon step brother.
As the two grew up out in a nearby town there was an opportunity for a chance to fight in the war. The two boys had been very successful as they lived on, with their healing factors of course and fought in several other wars such as World War I ad World War II. Logan would later meet up with the famous Captain America and fight with him while he was known as Steve Rogers, they would be great partners in the long run as they worked on the same team.
After the war fighting Logan had gotten a proposal from Weapon X saying that he was a perfect person to join in the group. Unsure about this, but he later did join after much convincing from the leader. Finally after a bit of joining them in their business, Logan quit after realizing just how violent the group was and didn't want to take part of it, seeing that he had enough of it. Later on Weapon X would find Logan and had set up another proposal for him. They found a metal alloy that would prove useful, something of one of the strongest metals in the world and put it inside Logan so he could become undefeatable. Logan accepted it once again as he wanted to chase down Creed and make sure he was stopped, Logan however lost something in the process as he most of his memories were taken away as he tried to escape. Logan has never been able to truly recover them all but remembered a few through some dreams, and some just by chasing his past.
After Logan fled the X-Men soon found him a short time later as he joined the X-Men a bit unwillingly at first as he was found to be a loner in the group and didn't co operate with some of the other members there like Scott Summers or some of the other men there. He did seem to connect with members like Rogue and Jean Grey. Logan has remained an X-Men that was until word came out about the Avengers. Logan came to a known star member of the first group of Avengers, Tony Stark and recognized the Captain America, who still remembered him as well. It didn't take long before Logan became a part time member and would move back and forth between the Avengers and X-Men. Of course being there in time of need when the teams need him.
Powers: Healing factor: One of Logan's main mutant abilities. He has a healing factor that can heal every wound that a normal man would have received, even the life threatening ones would seem minor to him as he would be healed almost instantly. The only true weakness that he seems to have his a special metal known as Carbonadium. With carbonadium wounds he'd be suffering for nearly as long as the wound would be held, he'd be out with it for several months before it healing successfully. The healing factor can also help him in several situations such as foreign diseases and also keep him healthy. Also it has also slowed Logan's aging down to make him appeare to be in his thirties. While in reality he has lived far longer than most humans have and is almost two hundred years old.
Logan has other abilities such as super human strength, being able to lift something almost to two tons easily with his adamantium and even more if he concentrated it. He has super human senses which allows him to track scents that most people might have not have even noticed. Or even hear sounds that some people would never have been able to smell otherwise. He also has very keen eyesight, it's so good that he can still see at night when it is very dark out. He can make out many figures that he can see very well as if it was day.
