Login, aka Wolverine, one of the most popular characters in Marvel Comic’s X-Men. He premiered in an Incredible Hulk comic in 1974 but one year later the character joined the famous X-Men team. Since then he has become the most well known and well like of all the X-Men characters. He has starred in his own comics, video games, and maybe even his own movie.

Like all the X-Men (or most), Login is a Mutant. His mutant power is the ability to heal rapidly as well as heightened senses. With his healing ability, a mere cut would take seconds to heal. A more fatal blow for us would take moments for him to heal. He is immune to most illnesses. He can even smoke and drink without any bad consequences. With his heightened senses he can track down almost anyone and detect traps. He also has an adamantium metal skeleton. Almost nothing in Marvel Comics can destroy adamantium. So in other words his bones can’t be broken or destroyed. Add his healing ability and he is almost impossible to kill. One would have to try really, really hard to kill him and if he/she failed, he/she would have to run really, really fast. His most well-known trait is three adamantium claws that pop out of each hand. These claws stay in his forearm until his pops them out between his knuckles. He also is an expert on hand to hand, claws, or sword combat.

Login has amnesia so not much is known about his past (though his history was later revealed to readers). He lost his memories when Weapon-X did experiments on him. It was Weapon-X that put the metal skeleton in him and made him into the perfect killing machine. After escaping Weapon-X, he joined up with the X-Men.

Wolverine is liked mainly because of his attitude. Most all of the time he is a BA (I used this word once, I’m trying not to use it again. I want to keep this blog kid friendly). He is generally a grunt with a “leave me alone” and “don’t give a crap” attitude. He loses his temper easily and can go berserk in battle. He is the first to recommend the cruel methods and is not afraid of offending people or getting into fight. Yet even with this attitude problem he still can care for those he calls friends but be warned whose who he calls enemies.
