Weapon X

Raised from a well-off family, a frail and sickly boy named James Howlett has all he ever needed in life but he has a secret that is hidden well in his genes.

Along with his parents John and Elizabeth, young James lived in the 19th century. Following the death of his elder brother, her mother was institutionalized which left the boy with his 2 playmates Rose a red headed girl and Dog, the son of Thomas Logan the caretaker.

As years pass, the friends grew and still have their friendship. A day came when Dog had untoward advances to Rose which James told his father and with this, Dog killed James pet and thus both were exiled from the estate.

A drunk as he is, Thomas got his shotgun and forced his way in the manor, seeing Elizabeth he told her to come with him and as John was about to stop them, Thomas shot him in cold blood. James was entering the room and with uncontrolled anger and ferocity attacked and killed Thomas while leaving a mark of 3 claws in Dog's face.

Fearing for their lives, James ran away with Rose as Dog reported to the police of the incident in his own story. The father of John came and took on Dog knowing that he has no more family left with.

James and Rose lived far in British Columbia, while working as a miner James changed his name to Logan to divert any suspicion in the town and protecting Rose as well in the process. They were known as cousins. Soon, Dog as a growing psychopath tracked them, in the streets as the 2 were fighting, Logan got the upper hand and was about to give Dog the final blow when Rose leapt in resulting her impalement from his claws. From then on, Logan was alone as he left the town and was rumored to have lived in the wilderness with wolves.

Having isolated himself from the world, he was soon found in Canada by Department H and with Dr. Cornelius's heading the experimental program, Logan was imbued with an indestructible element called adamantium with his bones and thus resulting to his indoctrination in the Weapon X assassins group.

His first mission was to battle the Incredible Hulk and further helped the X-Men through Prof. X's request to recover the original team from the mutant island of Krakoa. He stayed with the X-Men up to the present, even lead the team as a Field Commander. Later on, he also joined Earth's Mightiest Heroes: The Avengers where he encountered the re-assembled team while battling Hydra.

This fierce fighter had so many memories from his jagged and painful past, from being a World War II soldier, a Samurai, a CIA operative, an assassin, a wild man... and now a raging Wolverine!!!
