Wolverine (born James Howlett, aka Logan) is a Marvel Comics superhero and
member of the X-Men. Wolverine was created by Len Wein and John Romita Sr. with
some additional influence by Herb Trimpe.
The character was further developed by creators Chris Claremont, Dave
Cockrum and John Byrne, popularly remembered for their work on Uncanny X-Men.
Frank Miller, usually remembered for his revitalization of Daredevil and
redefinition of Batman, deserves credit for establishing important nuances and
different facets of character in the Wolverine limited series he co-wrote with
Claremont such as the memorable catch phrase, "I'm the best there is at what I
do and what I do isn't very nice."
As a mutant, Wolverine has an enhanced healing factor which allows him the
ability to heal virtually any wound at an amazingly rapid rate. He also
possesses keen animal-like senses and reflexes and has three (foot long) claws
that protrude from the backs of his hands. The claws and his entire skeleton
are laced with the unbreakable metal alloy adamantium. He is an unparalleled
master of combat who will not hesitate to meet lethal force in kind.
Wolverine's fierce nature helped forge the mold for comic book anti-heroes. His
willingness to use deadly force, his efforts to come to terms with his
questionable past and his angst-filled inner conflicts have become standard for
anti-heroes.
The character first appeared on the last page of Incredible Hulk #180
(October, 1974) with a full introduction and cover appearance in the following
issue, Hulk #181 (November, 1974). In the 1980s and 1990s, he rose from
relative obscurity to become a household name; he arguably may be Marvel
Comics' most-popular character other than Spider-Man. Wolverine joined the
X-Men roster in 1975 as part of the new group of mutants introduced in
Giant-Sized X-Men #1 and has been featured in his own solo series since 1988.
He has also been a central character in the various X-Men animated series and
films. Recently, Wolverine was an active member on all three teams of X-Men
across the three main X-books and is a member of the Avengers, along with
continuing his solo adventures in his own book and making frequent guest
appearances in many other books across the Marvel Universe. This habit of
seemingly being everywhere at once has been noted in the comics and jokingly
explained as an example of him "being the best at what he does." Wolverine now
only serves on the Avengers and the Astonishing X-Men.
LOOKIN' FOR TROUBLES
