Character Discussion: Wolverine

[if this is done, delete it]


All i know is, his mutation is: Really quick healing powers, and claws of bone(now adamantium) come out of his knuckle parts on his hands.


what i want to know is, how old is he, how fast can he heal, what is adamantium, and some other FAQ's.

 

He's really old. Born in the 1800's I think. He was born James Howlett, not Logan, the meek and constantly sick son of a rich and kind man. James was constantly sick, he couldn't even go out in the sun for very long, so a young girl was employed to watch over young James. The girl's name was Rose. Growing up was great for both of them, and one other child who lived near by, except that the other child, "Dog", was the son of the drunk and abusive landkeeper, Logan. Logan had the hots for Jame's Mother, hated his Father, and beat his son up alot. Eventually, Logan takes up arms against the Howletts, and windes up dead, courtesy of three bony claws to his midsection. However, Logan doesn't die without at least some pleasure, which was blowing Jame's Father's face off with a gun, right in front of Young Wolverine. That's the night Ol' Wolvie gets his powers, and Rose and him flee. Both of Jame's parents are dead, by the way, Missus Howlett went crazy and shot herself in the head. "It's not going to hurt..." <<..." Yeah right. The rest up until Wolvering gets his handle "Wolverine" because of how hard he works, and he accidentally kills Rose. Yeah it's real sad.

Wolverine has served in more than one American War. Due to his Healing factor, which can vary in speeds depending on how bad off he is, (Example, a scrape will patch up within minutes, while it would take maybe an hour after being hit by a truck, and yes, this has happened.) he was always on the frontlines, and employed for the more dangerous missions. His animalistic rage didn't hurt either...except those who wound up being the targets.

How he got his metal bones was because of the Weapon X program. There's different variants of the Weapon X happenings, but in any way, Wolverine has lost all his memories, and he's just one more bit indestructible. In some older stories, after joining the X-men, Magneto rips Wolverine's Metal-skeleton coating out, leaving him with his regular bones.

Lastly, Wolverine, despite being solemn and silent in most cases, is a real parental figure in the X-men, helping out with the more outcast of the outcast, like Rougue, Shadowcat, Jubilee, and X-23 (Pretty much his clone but a teenage girl). He hates Cyclops sometimes, but some of his closer allies, as close as anyone can get to being friends with him (XP), include Gambit, Nightcrawler, Ice man and Collosuss.

Tell me if you need anything else on Wolverine, and I'd like some good rep for this as well.

 

That, pretty much says it all. I had no idea he was born in the 1800's though!

 

i thought he was alive during the holocaust, hence the beginning of the first movie, if that was in the middle of the 1800's then i will shut my mouth

 

same here! well....ok wikipedia helped...but i didn't know bout rose!

 

'Twas Magneto. He was a Jewish child in the holocaust, thus his hatred for humanity. But the holocaust wouldn't happen for at least 100 years later...

 

Here's a little more info: He's been in multiple wars, as was mentioned, but one of the few memories he has that wasn't corrupted by Weapon X is that he fought in WWII...alongside Captain America! He fought alongside him to rescue Natasha Romanoff, possibly the last descendant of the Romanoff family that had Rasputin in their court. The two rescued her from the Hand, a deadly ninja for hire group. The success led little Natasha to grow up to be the Black Widow, a former Soviet spy turned Avenger, and later spy for Nick Fury in SHIELD.

 

Bit more info for those who haven't read his recent Wiki page-

He's got a son. Daken. Who's now Wolverine for Norman Osborn's Avengers.
