"I'm the best at what I do, and what I do ain't pretty at all. See these claws? Unbreakable. You? Bet not."

— Wolverine

Wolverine (born as Andrew Snyder) was one of the experiments in the Weapon X program. Even though his predecessor was the original Weapon X, Andrew's nickname, also Weapon X, was due to 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. 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. However, when Arsenal reformed the group, Wolverine was the first person he approached, and together they rebuilt the group. When Arsenal left the group, Wolverine became the last of the former Avengers team to remain.

History

Origins

Weapon X

"My whole life, I've felt like an animal - but I've ignored my instincts. I ignored what I really am. But that will never happen again."

— Wolverine

Bad Blood

"Oooh, shiny."
"You're gonna die for what you did to her!"
"Do you even know how to kill me?"
"I'm gonna cut your God damn head off. See if that works."

— Feral and Wolverine

The Government

"Logan is dead. Your country needs you, Andrew."
"What the Hell for?"
"Just like your predecessor, you've got... talents... that we are in dire need of. Become the Wolverine."

— Unidentified CIA agent and Wolverine

Avengers

"Looks like someone had a bad day..."
"It happened about four hours ago. The creature was sighted at the D.C. border. This is what happened when it hit the White House."
"The creature?"
"It called itself Tryax the Conqueror. It arrived on Earth via meteor not long ago. The Agency wants you to find and stop the creature before it reaches another town or city. And if you can't stop it, kill it."
"Sounds like fun."

— Wolverine and an unidentified CIA agent

New Avengers

"Ethan is dead, in case you forgot."
"True as that may be, the Avengers are still needed. I've found a candidate to become the new Iron Man."
"So, who's the next armored boy scout gonna be? Or would you rather wait until everyone else arrives, so that I don't spoil the surprise?"
"He's not going to be your favorite. Alex is cocky, and can be quite arrogant."

— Wolverine and Arsenal

Old Wounds

"You should've killed me when you had the chance, 'cause I'm gonna get outta here, I'm gonna kill all of them, and then... I'm gonna cut out your heart."

— Wolverine

Powers

• Regenerative Healing Factor: Wolverine's primary mutant power is an accelerated healing process that enables him to regenerate damaged or destroyed tissue with far greater efficiency than an ordinary human. Wolverine's accelerated healing powers have been commonly referred to as his mutant healing factor. The full extent and speed of Wolverine's healing factor isn't known. He has been shown to fully heal from numerous gunshot wounds, severe burns covering most of his body, and regenerate missing eyes within a matter of seconds. Among the more extreme depictions of his accelerated healing factor involves him having his skin, mucles, and internal organs incinerated from his skeleton only to fully regenerate the tissue within minutes. This power even amends psychological wounds inflicted as a result of traumatic experiences. However, Wolverine's healing powers force his mind to suppress the memories, sometimes resulting in amnesia.
  • Foreign Chemical Immunity: Wolverine's natural healing also affords him the virtual immunity to poisons and most drugs, except in massive doses. For example, it is extremely difficult for him to become intoxicated from alcohol.
  • Immunity To Disease: Wolverine's highly efficient immune system, which is part of his accelerated healing factor, renders him immune against all known Earthly diseases and infections.
  • Superhumanly Acute Senses: Wolverine possesses superhumanly acute senses that are comparable to those of certain animals. He can see at far greater distances, with perfect clarity, than an ordinary human. He retains this same level of clarity even in near total darkness. His hearing is enhanced in a similar manner, allowing him to detect sounds ordinary humans can't or to hear at much greater distances. He is able to recognize people and objects by scent, even if they are well hidden. He can track a target by scent, even if the scent has been greatly eroded by time and weather factors, with an extraordinary degree of success. Wolverine can also use his keen sense of smell to detect lies due to chemical changes within a person's scent. These senses stem from, at least partially, his constant cellular regeneration, as are his enhanced physical capabilities.
  • Superhuman Strength: Wolverine's Mutant Healing Factor enables him to push his muscles beyond the natural limits of the human body without injury, granting him some degree of superhuman strength. His natural strength is augmented by the demand placed on his musculature due to the presence of over 100 pounds of Adamantium bonded to his skeleton, which also removes the natural limitations of the human skeletal structure by allowing him to lift weights that would damage a human skeleton. Wolverine has been depicted with sufficient strength to break steel chains and he supports the weight of a dozen men with one arm.
  • Superhuman Stamina: Wolverine's mutant healing factor grants him high immunity against the fatigue toxins generated by his muscles during physical activity. Wolverine can sustain himself at peak capacity for several days. Wolverine has shown himself capable of fighting Tryax for several hours, despite Tryax's attempts to defeat the mutant with his cosmic energy manipulation powers.
  • Superhuman Agility: Wolverine's agility, balance and bodily coordination are enhance to levels beyond the natural physical limits and capabilities of the finest human speciman. Wolverine's agility is sufficient to allow him to dodge Cyclops's optic blasts at near point blank range.
  • Superhuman Reflexes: Wolverine's reflexes are similarly enhanced and are superior to those possessed by the finest human speciman.
  • Insulated Weather Adaptation: Wolverine's body is highly resistant to certain elemental extremes, particularly cold, to the extent that he can sleep nude in subarctic conditions with no apparent injury.
  • Retarded Aging: In addition, Wolverine's healing factor provides him with an extended lifespan by slowing the effects of the aging process. It is unknown how old Wolverine is, although it is certain that he is well over 100 years of age. Wolverine retains the appearance and physical vitality of a man in the physical prime of his life.

• Bone Claws: 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 pass from his forearms into his hands. When unsheathed, the claws are entirely within his hands, allowing him to bend his wrists when they are extended. The claws are made of bone, unlike the claws of normal mammals which are made of keratin, and were originally believed to be artificial Adamantium implants. The bone claws are sharp and dense enough to slice through substances as durable as most metals, wood, and stone.
  

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.

Wolverine's healing factor is also affected, though to a far less degree, if he ingests Carbonadium.

Wolverine's only other "weakness" is the fact that his heightened senses can be take advantage of. For example, Mute could take advantage of his heightened sense of hearing.

Abilities

• Master Tactician: Though seemingly brutish, Wolverine is highly intelligent. While fighting, Andrew's physical and mental state is equivalent to an Olympic-level gymnast performing a Gold-medal-winning routine whilst simultaneously beating four chess computers in his head, giving an idea of the level of sophistication and tactical processing Wolverine is capable of utilizing while in combat. He is also well-taught in Sun Tzu's The Art of War, though whether he was present during that era or not is uncertain.

• Master Martial Artist: Wolverine has extraordinary hand-to-hand combat ability, and, alongside Batman, Taskmaster, and Captain America, is considered one of the finest combatants on Earth. 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, and is also well versed in pressure points and the art of espionage. It is possible that he personally trained under the famed 17th century samurai Miyamoto Musashi.

• Advanced Covert Ops Expert: Due to his experience traveling the world and working for various government agencies, Wolverine is also a trained expert in multiple types of weapons, vehicles, computer systems, explosives, and assassination techniques.

• Skilled Mechanic: Wolverine is a skilled mechanic, and capable of maintaining the Avengers' Quinjet.

• Multi-lingual: A polyglot, Wolverine is fluent in many languages including English, Japanese, Russian, Chinese, Cheyenne, Lakota, and Spanish; he has some knowledge of French, German, Thai, Vietnamese, and Portuguese. He has also been taught Japanese ideograms, though from whom is uncertain.

With his increased lifespan and journeys across the globe, he has been able to amass an intimate knowledge of many foreign customs and cultures. Once he saw a kabuki play of The 47 Ronin (Genroku Chūshingura) and remarked how it was one of the finest kabuki troupes he had seen. His exploits have further endowed him with vast awareness of literature and philosophy.

Weapons

• Adamantium Laced Skeleton: Not part of Wolverine's natural mutant attributes, Wolverine's entire skeleton, including his bone claws, is laced with the rare, artificial, and virtually indestructible alloy known as Adamantium. As a result, Wolverine's bones are virtually unbreakable. The presence of the Adamantium has further enhanced the already razor sharp edge of Wolverine's bone claws. Aside from being practically indestructible, the claws are capable of cutting any solid material, with the known exception of Adamantium itself and the material of Captain America's shield. However, Wolverine's ability to slice completely through a substance depends upon the thickness of the substance and the amount of force he can exert. The Adamantium also weights his blows, dramatically increasing the effectiveness of his punches and kicks.
  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.

• Transportation: Wolverine commonly uses a motorcycle when he is acting as a solo agent. Otherwise, he wll typicaly make use of the Avengers' Quinjet.

• Weapons: Throughout his life, Wolverine has used a variety of bladed weapons, most frequently daggers and, at times, swords; as a samurai, he is especially skilled with the katana. He has also wielded many different types of firearms throughout his careers as a soldier, a mercenary, and a spy. While he is highly skilled with firearms, he has stated on multiple occasions that he isn't fond of them and prefers to use bladed weapons.
