History

Wolverine (born as Andrew Snyder) was one of the experiments in the original Weapon X program. Even though his predecessor was the original Weapon X, Andrew was nicknamed "Weapon X-II", given his distinct similarities to the original Wolverine.

He was a survivor of the Chrell Invasion and took up the name Wolverine upon Logan's death, and the alias "Weapon X", being the last original Weapon X. Wolverine joined the Avengers after the defeat of Revak. He stayed with the team until the defeat of Tryax, upon which the Avengers were disbanded. Eventually, Wolverine found himself with the X-Men.

Powers

Wolverine possesses the ability to regenerate damaged or destroyed areas of his cellular structure at a rate far greater than that of an ordinary human. The speed at which this healing factor works varies in direct proportion with the severity of the damage Wolverine suffers. He can fully recover from an ordinary gunshot wound in a non-vital area of his body within minutes, but it can take him up to two months to recover from severe wounds. His natural healing also affords him virtual immunity to poisons and most drugs, as well as an enhanced resistance to diseases. For example, it is nearly impossible for him to become intoxicated from drinking alcohol.

Wolverine has a limited immunity to the fatigue poisons generated by bodily activity, and hence he has greater endurance than an ordinary human. His agility and reflexes are similarly enhanced.

His healing factor provides him with an extended lifespan by slowing the effects of the aging process. Though his age is uncertain, Wolverine is as healthy and physically fit as a man in his prime. However, given his extensive training in various areas of combat, equipment and vehicle usage, it is safe to say Wolverine is at least a century old.

Wolverine possesses superhumanly acute senses, making him capable of seeing things at a maximum distance greater than a normal human's. His hearing is enhanced in a similar manner, and he is able to recognize people and objects by scent, even if that person or object is hidden. Wolverine can use these enhanced senses to track any creature with an impressive degree of success.

Wolverine's skeleton includes six retractable one-foot long bone claws, three in each arm, that are housed beneath the skin and muscle of his forearms. Wolverine can, at will, release these slightly curved claws through his skin beneath the knuckles on each hand. The skin between the knuckles tears and bleeds, but the blood loss is quickly halted by his healing factor. Wolverine can unsheathe any number of his claws at once, although he must keep his wrists straight at the moment his claws shoot from his forearms into his hands. When unsheathed, the claws are fully within his hands, and thus Wolverine can still bend his wrists. The claws are naturally sharp and tougher than that of normal human bone structure, allowing Wolverine to cut through most types of flesh and natural materials.

Limitations

Despite the extent of his healing factor, Wolverine is not immortal. If any injuries he sustains are extensive enough, especially if they result in the loss of vital organs, large amounts of blood, and/or loss of physical form, such as having flesh burned away by fire or acid, Wolverine can die.

Abilities

Due to his extensive training as a soldier, a C.I.A. operative, a samurai, a spy, and a member of the Avengers, Wolverine is an exceptional hand-to-hand combatant, having mastered virtually every fighting style on Earth. He is also a trained expert in multiple types of weapons, vehicles, computer systems, explosives, and assassination techniques. Wolverine is fluent in many languages, including Japanese, Russian, Chinese, Cheyenne, Lakota, and Spanish; he has some knowledge of French, Thai, and Vietnamese.

Weapons

Wolverine's entire skeletal structure, including his claws, has been artificially bonded to the nearly indestructible metal Adamantium. As a result, Wolverine's bones are virtually unbreakable, and his claws are capable of cutting through almost any substance depending on its thickness and the amount of force he can exert. Due to his healing factor, the presence of Adamantium in his body does not interfere with his bones' normal function of generating blood corpuscles. The reinforcement of his skeleton enables Wolverine to withstand high levels of physical pressure, giving his muscles sufficient force to briefly lift/press several hundred pounds.

Throughout his life, Wolverine has used a variety of bladed weapons, most frequently daggers and, at times, swords. He has also wielded many different types of firearms throughout his careers as a soldier, a mercenary, and a spy.
