Wolverine is a fictional character, a superhero who appears in comic
books published by Marvel Comics. Born as James Howlett[1] and commonly
known as Logan, Wolverine is a mutant, possessing animal-keen senses,
enhanced physical capabilities, three retracting bone claws on each hand
and a healing factor that allows him to recover from virtually any
wound, disease or toxin at an accelerated rate. The healing factor also
slows down his aging process, enabling him to live beyond a normal human
lifespan. His powerful healing factor enabled the supersoldier program
Weapon X to bond the near-indestructible metal alloy adamantium to his
skeleton and claws without killing him. He is most often depicted as a
member of the X-Men, Alpha Flight, or later the Avengers.
The character first appeared in The Incredible Hulk #181 (November 1974)
and was created by writer Len Wein and Marvel art director John Romita,
Sr., who designed the character, and was first drawn for publication by
Herb Trimpe. Wolverine later joined the X-Men's "All New, All Different"
roster in Giant-Size X-Men #1 (May 1975). X-Men writer Chris Claremont
played a significant role in the character's subsequent development[2]
as well as artist/writer John Byrne, who insisted on making the
character older than the other X-Men. Artist Frank Miller collaborated
with Claremont and helped to revise the character with a four-part
eponymous limited series from September to December 1982 in which
Wolverine's catch phrase, "I'm the best there is at what I do, but what
I do best isn't very nice," debuted.
Wolverine was typical of the many tough anti-authority antiheroes that
emerged in American popular culture after the Vietnam War;[3] his
willingness to use deadly force and his brooding nature became standard
characteristics for comic book anti-heroes by the end of the 1980s.[4]
As a result, the character became the clear favorite for fans of the
increasingly popular X-Men franchise.[5] Wolverine has been featured in
his own solo comic since 1988 and has been a central character in most
X-Men adaptations, including animated television series, video games,
and the live action 20th Century Fox X-Men film series, in which he is
portrayed by Hugh Jackman.[6] In May 2008, Wolverine was ranked #1 out
of Wizard magazine's "Top 200 Comic Book Characters of All Time"[7] and
was ranked #4 of "The 50 Greatest Comic Book Characters" by Empire
magazine in July 2008.[8] On their list of the 100 Greatest Fictional
Characters, Fandomania.com ranked Wolverine at #21.[9]

[edit] Publication history
Wolverine made his debut in The Incredible Hulk #181 (November 1974).
Art by Herb Trimpe.
Wolverine first appeared in the final "teaser" panel of The Incredible
Hulk #180 (cover date October 1974) written by Len Wein and penciled by
Herb Trimpe. The character then appeared in a number of advertisements
in various Marvel Comics publications before making his first major
appearance in The Incredible Hulk #181 (cover date November 1974) again
by Wein and Trimpe. John Romita, Sr., designed Wolverine's
yellow-and-blue costume. The character's introduction was ambiguous,
revealing little beyond his being a superhuman agent of the Canadian
government. In these appearances, he does not retract his claws,
although Len Wein stated they had always been envisaged as
retractable.[10] He appears briefly in the finale to this story in The
Incredible Hulk #182.
Wolverine's next appearance was in 1975's Giant-Size X-Men #1, written
by Wein and penciled by Dave Cockrum, in which Wolverine is recruited
for a new squad. Gil Kane illustrated the cover artwork but incorrectly
drew Wolverine's mask with larger headpieces. Dave Cockrum liked Kane's
accidental alteration (believing it to be similar to Batman's mask) and
incorporated it into his own artwork for the actual story.[11] Cockrum
was also the first artist to draw Wolverine without his mask, and the
distinctive hairstyle became a trademark of the character.[2]
A revival of X-Men followed, beginning with X-Men #94 (August 1975),
drawn by Cockrum and written by Chris Claremont. In X-Men and Uncanny
X-Men, Wolverine is initially overshadowed by the other characters,
although he does create tension in the team as he is attracted to
Cyclops' girlfriend, Jean Grey. As the series progressed, Claremont and
Cockrum (who preferred Nightcrawler[12]) considered dropping Wolverine
from the series;[12] Cockrum's successor, artist John Byrne, championed
the character, later explaining, as a Canadian himself, he did not want
to see a Canadian character dropped.[2][13] Byrne created Alpha Flight,
a group of Canadian superheroes who try to recapture Wolverine due to
the expense their government incurred training him. Later stories
gradually establish Wolverine's murky past and unstable nature, which he
battles to keep in check. Byrne also designed a new brown-and-tan
costume for Wolverine, but retained the distinctive Cockrum cowl.
Following Byrne's departure, Wolverine remained in X-Men. The
character's growing popularity led to a solo, four-issue limited series,
Wolverine (September â€" December 1982), by Claremont and Frank
Miller, followed by the six-issue Kitty Pryde and Wolverine by Claremont
and Al Milgrom (November 1984 â€" April 1985). Marvel launched an
ongoing solo book written by Claremont with art by John Buscema in
November 1988. It ran for 189 issues. Larry Hama later took over the
series and had an extensive run. Other writers who wrote for the two
Wolverine ongoing series include Peter David, Archie Goodwin, Erik
Larsen, Frank Tieri, Greg Rucka, and Mark Millar. Many popular artists
have also worked on the series, including John Byrne, Marc Silvestri,
Mark Texeira, Adam Kubert, Leinil Francis Yu, Rob Liefeld, Sean Chen,
Darick Robertson, John Romita, Jr., and Humberto Ramos. During the
1990s, the character was revealed to have bone claws, after his
adamantium is ripped out by Magneto in X-Men #25, which was inspired by
a passing joke of Peter David's.[14]
In addition to the Wolverine series and appearances in the various X-Men
series, two other storylines expand upon the character's past: "Weapon
X", by writer-artist Barry Windsor-Smith, serialized in Marvel Comics
Presents #72-84 (1991); and Origin, a six-issue limited series by
co-writers Joe Quesada, Paul Jenkins, and Bill Jemas and artist Andy
Kubert (November 2001 â€" July 2002). A second solo series,
Wolverine: Origins, written by Daniel Way with art by Steve Dillon, spun
off of, and runs concurrently with, the second Wolverine solo series.
[edit] Wolverine's first intended origin
Despite suggestions that co-creator Len Wein originally intended for
Logan to be a mutated wolverine cub, evolved to humanoid form by the
High Evolutionary,[15] Wein denies this:
“ While I readily admit that my original idea was for Wolvie's
claws to extend from the backs of his gloves ... I absolutely did not
ever intend to make Logan a mutated wolverine. I write stories about
human beings, not evolved animals (with apologies for any story I may
have written that involved the High Evolutionary). The mutated wolverine
thing came about long after I was no longer involved with the book. I'm
not certain if the idea was first suggested by Chris Claremont, the
late, much-missed Dave Cockrum, or John Byrne when he came aboard as
artist, but it most certainly did not start with me.[16] â€
Wein has stated in a conversation with Stan Lee included on the X-Men
Origins: Wolverine blu-ray special features that he has read "Ten things
you did not know about Wolverine," which states that he was originally
intended to be a mutated wolverine cub, and this re-kindled Wein's
frustration. He again stated that he had "always known that Wolverine
was a mutant."[citation needed]
In X-Men #98 (April 1976), a biological analysis of Wolverine suggests
that he was in some way different from the other X-Men, and in X-Men
#103, Wolverine says he does not believe in leprechauns, to which the
leprechaun replies, "Maybe leprechauns don't believe in talkin'
wolverines, either."[17]
In an article about the evolution of Wolverine included in a 1986
reprint of The Incredible Hulk #180-181, titled Incredible Hulk and
Wolverine, Cockrum is quoted as saying that he considered having the
High Evolutionary play a vital role in making Wolverine a human.[2]
Writer Wein wanted Wolverine to be the age of a young adult, with
superhuman strength and agility similar to Spider-Man. This changed when
Wein saw Cockrum's drawing of the unmasked Wolverine as a hairy
40-year-old.[2] Wein originally intended the claws to be retractable and
part of Wolverine's gloves, and both gloves and claws would be made of
adamantium.[16] Chris Claremont eventually revealed that they were an
integrated part of Wolverine's anatomy in X-Men #98 (April 1976). Writer
Jeph Loeb used a similar origin for Wolverine in the Marvel continuity,
having feral mutants be an evolved lifeform.[18]
[edit] Wolverine's second intended origin
John Byrne said in interviews and on his website that he drew a possible
face for Wolverine, but then learned that John Romita, Sr., had already
drawn one that Dave Cockrum used in X-Men #98 (April 1976), long before
Byrne's run on the series.[19][20] Later, Byrne used the drawing for the
face of Sabretooth, an enemy of the martial artist superhero Iron Fist,
whose stories Chris Claremont was writing. Byrne then had the idea of
Sabretooth being Wolverine's father.[21][22] Together, Byrne and
Claremont came up with Wolverine being approximately 60 years old and
having served in World War II after escaping from Sabretooth, who was
approximately 120 years old.[21] The plan had been for Wolverine to have
been almost crushed in an accident; he would discover, when attempting
to stand for the first time after recovering, that his healing factor
does not work on bones, and his legs immediately break. He then spends
over a decade in a hospital bed, almost going mad, when the Canadian
government approaches him with the idea of replacing his skeleton one
bone at a time with adamantium, the claws being a surprise. This origin,
too, was never used.
[edit] Fictional character biography
Wolverine first uses his claws in Origin #2.
Art by Andy Kubert and Richard Isanove.
As shown in the 2001â€"2002 miniseries Origin, Wolverine was born as
James Howlett in late 19th century Alberta, Canada, to rich farm owners.
The character grows into manhood on a mining colony in Northern British
Columbia, adopting the name "Logan."[23] 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 the Canadian
military during World War I. 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 up with Captain America and continues a
career as a soldier-of-fortune/adventurer. He then serves with the 1st
Canadian Parachute Battalion[24] during D-Day, 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 the Weapon X program, where he remains captive and
experimented on, until he escapes, as shown in Barry Windsor-Smith's
"Weapon X" storyline which ran in Marvel Comics Presents. It is during
his imprisonment by Weapon X that he has unbreakable adamantium forcibly
fused onto 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 as an intelligence
operative for the Canadian government. 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.[25]
Later on, 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.[26] 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 to assassinate
Xavier.[27]
In X-Men #25 (1993), at the culmination of the "Fatal Attractions"
crossover, the supervillain Magneto forcibly removes the adamantium from
Wolverine's skeleton. This massive trauma causes his healing factor to
burn out and also leads to the discovery that his claws are actually
bone. Wolverine leaves the X-Men for a time, embarking on a series of
adventures during which his healing factor returns, greatly increased in
speed and efficiency (due to the fact that the adamantium in his bones
used a considerable amount of his healing factor on a constant basis).
It is also realised at this time that Wolverine constantly mutates
(unlike other mutants) and that the adamantium slowed his mutation to a
halt. His natural abilities such as healing factor and animalistic
senses increase slowly over time. Feral by nature, Wolverine's mutation
process will eventually cause him to degenerate physically into a more
primitive, bestial state.[volume & issue needed] After his return
to the X-Men, Cable's son Genesis kidnaps Wolverine and attempts to
re-bond adamantium to his skeleton.[28] This is unsuccessful and causes
Wolverine's mutation to accelerate out of control. He is temporarily
changed into a semi-sentient beast-like form in which he gains greater
physical power than ever before, at the price of part of his humanity.
Eventually, the villain Apocalypse captures Wolverine, brainwashes him
into becoming the Horseman Death, and successfully re-bonds adamantium
to his skeleton. Wolverine overcomes Apocalypse's programming and
returns to the X-Men.
In 2005, author Brian Michael Bendis had Wolverine join the Avengers.
After the miniseries House of M, Wolverine regains his memories and
prepares to seek out and enact vengeance on those who wronged him. In
Wolverine: Origins, the character's second solo series, Wolverine
discovers that he has a son named Daken, who has been brainwashed and
made a living weapon by the villain Romulus, the man behind Wolverine's
own brainwashing. Wolverine then makes it his mission to rescue Daken
and stop Romulus from manipulating or harming anyone again.
During the events of the Messiah Complex storyline, Cyclops orders
Wolverine to reform X-Force. Since then, Wolverine and the team
(initially consisting of X-23, Warpath, and Wolfsbane) have starred in a
new monthly title. The team was also featured in the "Messiah War"
storyline, a sequel to Messiah Complex.
In 2008, writer Mark Millar and artist Steve McNiven explored a possible
future for Wolverine in an eight-issue story arc entitled "Old Man
Logan" that debuted with Wolverine #66. Millar, the writer for the
story, said, "It's The Dark Knight Returns for Wolverine, essentially.
The big, wide, show-stopping series that plays around with the most
popular Marvel character of the last forty years, a dystopian vision of
the Marvel Universe and a unique look at their futures. The heroes have
gone, the villains have won and we're two generations away from the
Marvel we know."[29]
In X-Men #5, it is revealed that in order for Wolverine to fully
infiltrate the ranks of the vampires that were attacking Utopia at the
behest of Dracula's son (when Wolverine thought the vampire virus had
simply bested his healing factor), Cyclops has to infect him with
nanites that are capable of shutting off Wolverine's healing factor.
Cyclops can activate them by merely clicking a button on a remote
control device he carries with him at all times.[30]
[edit] Powers and abilities
Wolverine is a mutant with a number of both natural and artificial
improvements to his physiology. His primary mutant power is an
accelerated healing process, typically referred to as his mutant healing
factor, that regenerates damaged or destroyed tissues of his body far
beyond the capabilities of an ordinary human. This power facilitated the
artificial improvements he was subjected to under the Weapon X program
(in later comics called the Weapon Plus program), in which his skeleton
was reinforced with the virtually indestructible metal adamantium.
Depictions of the speed and extent of injury to which Wolverine can heal
vary. Originally, this was portrayed as accelerated healing of minor
wounds,[31] but writers have steadily increased this ability over the
years. After several years, Wolverine's healing factor was depicted as
healing severe wounds within a matter of days or hours.[32][33] Other
writers went on to increase Wolverine's healing factor to the point that
it could fully regenerate nearly any damaged or destroyed bodily tissues
within seconds.[34][35][36] Among the more extreme depictions of
Wolverine's healing factor include fully healing after being caught near
the center of an atomic explosion[37] and the total regeneration of his
soft body tissue, within a matter of minutes, after having it
incinerated from his skeleton.[38] It has been stated in the Xavier
Protocols, a series of profiles created by Xavier that lists the
strengths and weaknesses of the X-Men, that Wolverine's healing factor
is increased to "incredible levels" and theorizes that the only way to
stop him is to decapitate him and remove his head from the vicinity of
his body.[39] It's possible for the efficiency of his healing powers to
be suppressed. For example, if an object composed of carbonadium is
inserted and remains lodged within his body, his healing powers are
slowed dramatically though they are not fully suppressed.[40] His
healing factor can also be greatly suppressed by the Muramasa blade, a
katana of mystic origins that can inflict wounds that nullify superhuman
healing factors.[41] His healing factor also dramatically slows his
aging process, allowing him to live beyond the normal lifespan of a
human. Despite being born in the late 19th century,[42] he has the
appearance and vitality of a man in his physical prime. It is unknown
exactly how greatly his healing factor extends his life expectancy.
Though he now has all of his memories, his healing abilities can provide
increased recovery from psychological trauma by suppressing memories in
which he experiences profound distress.[43] In addition to accelerated
healing of physical traumas, Wolverine's healing factor makes him
extraordinarily resistant to diseases, drugs, and toxins. However, he
can still suffer the immediate effects of such substances in massive
quantities; he has been shown to become intoxicated after significant
dosages of alcoholic beverages,[44] and has been incapacitated on
several occasions with large amounts of powerful drugs and poisons.[45]
Although his body heals, the healing factor does not suppress the pain
he endures while injured.[46] He does not enjoy being hurt and sometimes
has to work himself up for situations where extreme pain is
certain.[47][48] Wolverine, on occasion, has deliberately injured
himself or allowed himself to be injured for varying reasons, including
freeing himself from capture,[49] intimidation,[50] strategy,[51] or
simply indulging his feral nature.[52][53][54]
Wolverine's mutation also consists of animal-like adaptations of his
body, including pronounced, and sharp fang-like canines and three
retractable claws housed within each forearm. While originally depicted
as bionic implants created by the Weapon X program,[55] the claws are
later revealed to be a natural part of his body.[56] The claws are not
made of keratin, as claws tend to be in the animal kingdom, but
extremely dense bone, and, without their adamantium coating, can cut
substances as durable as most metals, wood, and some varieties of stone.
They can also be used to block attacks or projectiles, as well as dig
into surfaces allowing Wolverine to climb structures.[57] Wolverine's
hands do not have openings for the claws to move through: they cut
through his flesh every time he extrudes them, with occasional
references implying that he feels a brief moment of slight pain in his
hands when he unsheathes them.[58]
On more than one occasion, Wolverine's entire skeleton, including his
claws, has been molecularly infused with adamantium. Due to their
coating, his claws can cut almost any known solid material. The only
known exceptions are adamantium itself and Captain America's shield,
which is the only substance in the Marvel Universe known to be even more
durable than adamantium.[59] Wolverine's ability to slice completely
through a substance depends upon both the amount of force he can exert
and the thickness of the substance. The adamantium also weights his
blows, increasing the effectiveness of his offensive capabilities.[32]
However, this also makes him exceptionally susceptible to magnetic based
attacks.[60]
Wolverine's healing factor also affects a number of his physical
attributes by increasing them to superhuman levels. His stamina is
sufficiently heightened to the point he can exert himself for numerous
hours, even after exposure to powerful tranquilizers.[61] Wolverine's
agility and reflexes are also enhanced to levels that are beyond the
physical limits of the finest human athlete.[62][63] Due to his healing
factor's constant regenerative qualities, he can push his muscles beyond
the limits of the human body without injury.[64] This, coupled by the
constant demand placed on his muscles by over one hundred pounds of
adamantium,[65] grants him some degree of superhuman strength. Since the
presence of the adamantium negates the natural structural limits of his
bones, he can lift or move weight that would otherwise damage a human
skeleton.[63] He has been depicted breaking steel
chains,[66][67][68][69] lifting several men above his head with one arm
and throwing them through a wall[64] and lifting Ursa Major (in grizzly
bear form) over his head before tossing him across a room.[70]
Wolverine's senses of sight, smell, and hearing are all superhumanly
acute. He can see with perfect clarity at greater distances than an
ordinary human, even in near-total darkness. His hearing is enhanced in
a similar manner, allowing him to both hear sounds ordinary humans can't
and also hear to greater distances. Wolverine is able to use his sense
of smell to track targets by scent, even if the scent has been eroded
somewhat over time by natural factors. This sense also allows him to
identify shapeshifting mutants despite other forms they may take.[71] He
is also able to use his senses of smell and hearing, through
concentration, as a type of natural lie detector, such as detecting a
faint change in a person's heartbeat and scent when a lie is told.[72]
Due to a combination of his healing factor and high level psionic
shields implanted by Professor Xavier, Wolverine's mind is highly
resistant to telepathic assault and probing.[73] Wolverine's mind also
possesses what he refers to as "mental scar tissue" created by all of
the traumatic events over the course of his life. It acts as a type of
natural defense, even against a psychic as powerful as Emma Frost.[74]
[edit] Skills and personality
During his time in Japan and other countries, Wolverine becomes a master
of virtually all forms of martial arts and is experienced in virtually
every fighting style on Earth. He is proficient with most weaponry,
including firearms, though he is partial to bladed weapons. He has
demonstrated sufficient skills to defeat the likes of Shang-Chi[75] and
Captain America[76] in singular combat. He also has a wide knowledge of
the body and pressure points.[77] He is also an accomplished pilot and
highly skilled in the field of espionage and covert operations.[citation
needed]
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.[78]
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.[79]
In contrast to his brutish nature, Wolverine is extremely intelligent.
Due to his increased lifespan, he has traveled around the world and
amassed extensive knowledge of foreign languages and cultures. He is
fluent in English, Japanese, Russian, Chinese, Cheyenne, Spanish,
Arabic, and Lakota; he also has some knowledge of French, Thai,
Vietnamese, German, Italian, Portuguese, Korean, Hindi, and
Persian.[80][81] When Forge monitors Wolverine's vitals during a Danger
Room training session, he calls Logan's physical and mental state
"equivalent of an Olympic-level gymnast performing a gold medal routine
while simultaneously beating four chess computers in his head."[71] Much
to Professor Xavier's disapproval, Wolverine is also a heavy drinker and
smoker - his healing powers negate the long term effects of alcohol and
tobacco and allow him to indulge in prolonged binges.
Wolverine is frequently depicted as a gruff loner, often taking leave
from the X-Men to deal with personal issues or problems. He is often
irreverent and rebellious towards authority figures, though he is a
reliable ally and capable leader. He has been a mentor and father figure
to several younger women, especially Jubilee and Kitty Pryde, and has
had romantic relationships with numerous women (most notably Mariko
Yashida[82]), as well as a mutual[citation needed] but unfulfilled
attraction to Jean Grey, leading to jealous run-ins with her boyfriend
(and later husband), Scott Summers. He also married Viper,[83] and then
later divorced her.[84]
[edit] Other versions
Main article: Alternate versions of Wolverine
As one of Marvel's flagship characters, Wolverine has seen many
adaptations and re-imaginings. For example, an issue of Exiles featured
a planet of Wolverines. In the Marvel Mangaverse, Wolverine is even the
founder of the X-Men. In Marvel Zombies, Wolverine appears zombified
alongside Marvel's other major players. The Ultimate Marvel line of
comics sought to ingrain Wolverine into its Ultimate X-Men title from
the onset. The latest alternate version is seen in the "Old Man Logan"
storyline set in an alternate timeline 50 years into the future where
the world's superhuman heroes are dead. In this timeline, Wolverine has
aged considerably and has become a pacifist.
[edit] In other media
Main article: Wolverine in other media
Wolverine is one of the very few X-Men characters to be included in
every media adaptation of the X-Men franchise, including film,
television, and computer and video games, and is the only one to have
starred in his own video games (e.g., X2: Wolverine's Revenge, X-Men
Origins: Wolverine).
Marvel Animation has completed the first and only season of the animated
series, Wolverine and the X-Men, in which Wolverine leads the X-Men
while Charles Xavier and Jean Grey are missing. The series aired the
full first season in Canada and the U.S. (aired on Nickelodeon's
Nicktoons channel). An anime series based on Wolverine began airing on
January 7, 2011 as part of a 4-part collaboration between Marvel
Animation and Madhouse called Marvel Anime.[85] Logan also appears in an
episode of the Iron Man part of this collaboration.[citation needed]
20th Century Fox, in association with Marvel Studios, released an X-Men
spin-off movie based on Wolverine, titled X-Men Origins: Wolverine,
which stars Hugh Jackman returning as the title character. Gavin Hood
directed the film, which was released in North America on May 1, 2009,
and in Australia, the United Kingdom, and France on April 29, 2009.
Troye Mellet plays the young Wolverine.[86] The film chronicles
Wolverine's metamorphosis from a sickly child in 19th century Canada
discovering he is a mutant to his time in the army with his half-brother
Victor Creed/Sabretooth, and then explores how they gradually came to be
enemies. William Stryker and Victor Creed are the main antagonists in
the film and are played by Danny Huston and Liev Schreiber,
respectively. Another film went into development in 2009.[87] Titled The
Wolverine, Darren Aronofsky is attached to direct the film. The film
will be based around Wolverine's exploits in Japan and will be modeled
after Chris Claremont and Frank Miller's 1982 limited series on the
character. It is not stated to be a sequel, but rather a separate story
from X-Men Origins: Wolverine.[88]
In the game Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, Wolverine stars as one of the
four main heroes, with the others being Spider-Man, Captain America, and
Thor. He is also a playable character in the games X-Men Legends, X-Men
Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse, and many others. (See List of X-Men
video games for more details.)
Wolverine appears in the Spider-Woman motion comics.[citation needed] In
this series, he is voiced by Jeffrey Hedquist.

as it is, and give better than I get. Come at me with a sword. I'll meet
you with a sword. You want mercy. Show a little first. [...] Some of
those folks died fighting... some praying... some accepted their fate...
some cursed it... some begged for their lives... most were terrified.
Details don't matter. What's important is that they died. And those
scales have to be balanced. In kind."
