Terrified at his husband, a pregnant Magda fled and gave birth to her twin child; Wanda and Pietro, who would join The Avengers as Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. Erik would later meet Professor Charles Xavier and discussed the “Existence of Mutants” which quickly bonded these two.

Wolverine | Comics

Logan was a freak of nature, who is turned into a weapon and known to world as Wolverine is the most savage X-Men of them all.

He is the best there is at what he does and what he does isn't something very nice. Like the animal that his very namesake Wolverine refers to, he may be small in size but he is extremely ferocious when challenged and quite formidable in battle. From his very birth, he is on a constant run from humans who sees him only as a perfect tool for killing.

Little of his past is what he can remember, which is mostly filled with pain and personal loss. Long ago, he was trained as an honorable samurai in Japan and then served Canada during World War II. He lived for over a century while witnessing the history humankind has made for itself and watched many to grow up to oppose him in future.

Origin
Wolverine was the frail kid named James Howlett who grew up with his friend Rose and Dog Logan. Then tragedy follows as his father died at the hands of their alcoholic groundskeeper Thomas Logan, he immediately discovered his mutation of bone claws, with which he murdered Thomas in turn and left home in rush with Rose.

They settled in a mining colony of Northern Canada and James took the name "Logan" for himself to hide his real identity. He grew feelings for Rose but she felt attracted to their camp foreman Smitty. Then tragedy followed him as Dog came looking for him and their confrontation led to the death of Rose.

Weapon X
Later he became a covert operative for Weapon X program, a secret Canadian government facility that experimented on him and gave him Adamantium implants over his bones. His very first assignment as a Weapon X operative was to face off The Incredible Hulk, who was rampaging on Canadian wilderness.

He crossed paths with Russian super-spy Black Widow and fought alongside American super-soldier Captain America before wearing his legendary blue and yellow spandex. Wolverine has a bit of history with Canadian superhero team Alpha Flight and its members; especially Heather Hudson AKA Vindicator.

X-Men
Today, the man known as Logan is an X-Man, recruited by world's most powerful mutant telepath Professor Charles Xavier, a man who saw through his animal nature and a hope for redemption for him. Using his keen animal like senses, a rapid healing factor and razor sharp claws, Logan fights to help protect a world that fears and hates mutants.

Xavier picked him for his team along with fellow mutants Banshee, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Storm and Thunderbird to rescue his original recruits, when they were trapped in The Living Island; Krakoa. It was actually a ploy designed by Romulus to send Wolverine for killing Xavier as he predicted that the fight with Hulk will draw Charles to him.

Although, he gave up hope on humanity long ago, Xavier's strong conviction for mutant and human coexistence made him believe to fight for his cause once again and become accepted among his teammates. He grew a rivalry with fellow X-Man Cyclops regarding their mutual interest towards Scott's stunning telepath girlfriend Jean Grey.

The X-Men would get into trouble with the members of Hellfire Club very often, witness the crisis of Dark Phoenix when Jean gets possessed by a  powerful cosmic entity Phoenix Force and will get to know the Shi'ar Empire. Logan's occasional ventures in Japan would let him engaged to his love Mariko Yashida, who was also a heir to Yakuza family.

He would also entangle with The Hand, Silver Samurai and Viper very often when he is there. Not only he has many allies like Spider-Man, Daredevil, Elektra, Punisher and many of the current and former X-Men, he also is a greatest enemy to the villainous Sabretooth, Mystique, Omega Red, Lady Deathstrike and Silver Samurai as well.

Mutant Massacre
With his fellow X-Men members, Logan attempted to rescue the sewer-living underground mutants known as Morlocks when Mister Sinister plotted a "Morlock Massacre" and sent his team of Marauders to do the dirty work for him. As the X-Men confronted the hostile Marauders, things got ugly pretty soon as many of them got severely injured.

For the first time wearing his iconic costume, Wolverine got into a deadly duel with his feral nemesis Sabretooth. Feeling overpowered by Logan, he quickly ran from the sewers and decided to attack the X-Mansion to get back at his enemy. There, he is opposed by a newly recruited mutant named Betsy Braddock AKA Psylocke until Logan could arrive.

Fall of the Mutants
In absence of a recently-powerless X-Man Storm, Wolverine leads the X-Men to rescue Madelyn Pryor, who is Cyclops' wife and a clone of Jean Grey. He then went to Dallas, Texas, with his team to pursue a mutant criminal and is attacked by Freedom Force, only to be interrupted by prehistoric creatures appearing from a rift on sky.

In order to defeat their opponent Adversary, Forge had to cast a spell that would cost the lives of all X-Men but they were later brought back to life again using Siege Perilous. The team of X-Factor faces the eternal mutant Apocalypse who offers to join him in his war against humans or to be destroyed.

The Jungle Adventure
When he was following a lead that took him to Savage Land, Logan arrived there in a lightweight plane and this made the local Tribe of Fire believe him to be a God! Though their Amazon warrior-like female chieftain Gahck didn't buy it and challenged him in duel, he quickly proved his worth to them.

He tells Gahck that he is no God but she has already fallen for him and they even start a brief relationship. He and his people suddenly encountered a Dinosaur as they were hunting, which is revealed to be a robot after he took it down and while investigating for missing members, he gets in a fight with Apocalypse.

Fatal Attractions
When Professor Xavier took his team on space station Avalon to stop a resurfaced Magneto and his evil plan like always, he got stabbed in the guts by Logan. In a fit of rage, the lunatic master of magnetism ripped off Wolverine's Adamantium from his bones, revert him back in a feral state and left him to die.

This shocking incident led Xavier to unleash his psychic power on Eric and left him on a vegetative state. Logan barely survives the experience and having a hard time healing his wounds. He has devolved into a bestial form and since now he cannot heal easily; he decided to hone his skills once again by training with ninja assassin Elektra.

Onslaught Saga
After Xavier attempted to wipe out Magneto's consciousness, he unknowingly absorbed the dark essence of Eric's mind and eventually become the psionic being Onslaught. It claimed to be Xavier himself but Wolverine then angered him into revealing his true form by pointing out that he looks more like Magneto, causing it to attack them all.

It took the combined efforts of The Avengers, Doctor Doom, Fantastic Four and the heroes of X-Men just to contain the threat. When the crisis was finally over, Logan still remained in his animal-like form for quite a while as absence of Adamantium in his system have also accelerated his mutation further.

Horseman of Apocalypse
During Phalanx Invasion, he and Cable aided their teammates to go free from the aliens upon Professor Xavier's calling. Genesis then decided to bond Wolverine with Adamantium and send his Dark Riders to capture him. The process however, was a failure and it cost them all of their lives at the hands of a feral Logan.

Afterwards, he is kidnapped by Apocalypse, who pits him against Sabretooth to determine who would be his next Horseman of Death. Wolverine easily won against his feral enemy and received Adamantium implant before going against the X-Men but then he broke out of Apocalypse's influence and rejoins his friends.

One of the Skrulls from Apocalypse's allies has been impersonating Logan for long but eventually got killed by the real one at one point. He will return to Madripoor to battle his old mentor Ogun, who now has become a possessed spirit and then get a divorce from the villainous Viper, to be finally free from his debt to Seraph.

He also learns of having a psychotic son from his time with Itsu named Daken who operates under the name Dark Wolverine and has almost the same abilities to match. A recent encounter with Winter Soldier at the old Weapon X program revealed him of his deranged son Daken's existence, who hates his father more than anyone.

Enemy of the State
Allied together with a plan to take over the world, The Hand and Hydra sent the mysterious assassin Gorgon to kill Wolverine and brainwashed Logan to turn him into their own agent. He ended up seriously gutting Spider-Man down and The Thing. Later, both Hornet and Northstar were killed by him while working under Hydra's influence.

S.H.I.E.L.D. then hired master assassin Elektra for a freelance job to bring him in and it got bloodier and messier as they tried to do so. After she was savagely defeated in combat, Gorgon impaled him on a wall with a sword in his throat. It took several attempts for him to finally get back at Gorgon and put an end to this conflict.

House of M
Apart from being a valuable member of the X-Men, Logan also became a member of New Avengers team along with few other members that was formed after the original team was disbanded during "Avengers Disassembled". Then a mentally unstable Scarlet Witch unleashed an alternate reality where mutants have ruled supreme and no one had any memory of the life they had before it.

With a mutant Master Race ruling over Earth, everyone on that world became whatever they wanted to be but somehow, Logan could still remember everything that happened from his past. When the nightmare was finally over after a lot of trouble, many of world's mutants were rendered powerless but he on the other hand retained all of his memories and could tell which one of them are implanted (M-Day).

Messiah Complex
Logan was back with the X-Men once again when a former shape-shifting enemy Mystique joined the team and together they battled against the Children of the Vault (Supernovas). Then they were savagely defeated by the Marauders sent by Mister Sinister and the blue-skinned mutant was a mole among them (Blinded by The Light).

After that, he and X-Force were sent after Cable to locate the baby messiah that everyone was desperately looking for. Members of Marauders, Pirifiers and Reavers were slaughtered in the ensuing conflict and Wolverine went up against Predator X when the beast showed up. He allowed himself to be swallowed by it and then tore it from inside out.

Wolverine Goes to Hell
John Wraith has become a pastor now after surviving an encounter with Victor Creed and finds his old friend Logan's body and Wolverine realizes that his soul is in Hell while his demonically possessed self was killing people. In Hell, he is tormented by Satan, fought Hand and eventually faced off his arch nemesis Sabretooth in combat.

Ghost Rider and Daimon Hellstrom are aided by shape-shifting mutant Mystique in a quest to retrieve his soul form Hell. While the X-Men were busy fending off "Hellverine" on Utopia, the demons of his mind were incinerated by Phoenix. He then plans to take revenge on the Red Right Hand, who was responsible for sending him there.

Schism
Wolverine assists Cyclops to international arms control conference for a speech about de-commissioning every active Sentinel, where Quentin Quire AKA Kid Omega releases an energy blast to force everyone into revealing their secrets. This event re-opens the topic of mass mutant hysteria and reveals that the world still doesn't trust them.

The X-Men's stand over the issue creates a rift between Cyclops and Wolverine, because the former wishes to deal with Quire within mutant community while the latter was in support of handing him over to Captain America. Opposing Scott's idea of raising young mutants as soldiers in this battle, Logan immediately quits the team.

Regenesis
Following a huge conflict of ideals between Scott and Logan, the team of X-Men is separated into two different fractions. Beast, Cannonball, Husk, Iceman, Rogue and Shadowcat joined Logan in his Jean Grey School for Higher Learning in Westchester, while the others remained with Cyclops's side on Utopia.

On their first day of school, the new Black King of the Hellfire Club, Kade Kilgore comes to their doorstep with threats but Wolverine makes it clear that he wants none of it. When Krakoa III comes to attack, Kid Omega talks him down and even convinces him to join Wolverine's X-Men to prove his worth to his peers.

Avengers Vs. X-Men
Upon Nova's arrival on Earth with the news of the return of Phoenix Force, Wolverine informed Cap that Phoenix is connected to Hope Summers and it is coming for her. Though Jean Grey School didn't side with any parties, Logan aided Cap and The Avengers when they came to visit Utopia and got engaged in a fight after Cyclops refuses to hand her over.

As he was about to kill Hope upon finding, she burnt him down using her powers of the Phoenix before escaping. Later, Spider-Man to find him and he helped her reach to the moon after forming a temporary truce but eventually tipped The Avengers off about their whereabouts to apprehend her, which didn't go too well for anyone in the end.

Killable
Infected by a sentient virus from Microverse while working on a rescue mission for S.H.I.E.L.D., Logan completely lost his healing factor. In order to prove himself, he fought a mind-controlled Black Panther but was defeated pretty badly and then his embarrassment extended when his ass was saved by his friend Kitty Pryde.

He is then got captured by his arch-enemy Sabretooth, who gave him a severe beating before he decided to decapitate Logan with Muramasa Blade. However, he walked away knowing his enemy is already broken and Logan then accepted the fact that he cannot heal anymore; therefore he no longer is "Wolverine".

After quitting Avengers team and leaving everyone at Jean Grey School behind, Logan joined a band of mercenaries working for a mob boss known as The Offer. Offer's Squad were after Victor Creed's location so that they could stop him from changing reality but Creed turned the table by kidnapping his teammate Pinch's daughter Annie.

Because of his brief romantic relationship with her, Logan felt responsible to rescue her daughter and did so by unsheathing his claws once again only to receive severe injuries in the following fight. He then goes training with Iron Fist and Shang-Chi to hone his martial art skills before he has a meeting with Mistress Death.

Death of Wolverine
Mister Fantastic asked Logan not to fight until his healing factor can be reactivated but it was impossible for him to stay off the grid. A.I.M. agents, mercenaries and ninjas seem will not leave him alone and he wasted them all. When super-soldier Nuke informed him that Viper put a contract on him, he visited Madripoor for a face-off with Sabretooth.

Lady Deathstrike then took down Victor to collect a bounty on him Logan and save her own skin. Intervention from Kitty Pryde saved him and together they traveled to Japan, looking for their former mentor Ogun. Turns out, Abraham Cornelius put the contract on him and he kills Cornelius before dying covered in liquid Adamantium.
