[b]Abilities:[/b]
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. In addition to accelerated healing of physical traumas, Logan'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 amounts of alcohol, and has been incapacitated on several occasions with large amounts of powerful drugs and poisons.

While the adamantium in his body stops or reduces many injuries, his healing factor must also work constantly to prevent metal poisoning from killing him, though it is effectively getting worse.

His healing factor also dramatically affects his aging process, allowing him to live far beyond the normal lifespan of a human. Despite being born in the late 19th century, he has the appearance, conditioning, health, and vitality of a man in his physical prime. While seemingly ageless, it is unknown exactly how greatly his healing factor extends his life expectancy.

Although his body heals, the healing factor does not suppress the pain he endures while injured. Logan also admits to feeling phantom pains for weeks or months after healing from his injuries. He does not enjoy being hurt and sometimes has to work himself up for situations where extreme pain is certain. Logan, on occasion, has deliberately injured himself or allowed himself to be injured for varying reasons, including freeing himself from capture, intimidation, strategy or simply indulging his feral nature. His healing abilities can provide increased recovery from psychological trauma by suppressing memories in which he experiences profound distress. Scratches heal within seconds, burns and cuts a few seconds more. Even bullet holes only take a matter of minutes to heal up completely, and all without a single scar to show for the pain he had been put through on a number of occasions.

Logan'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. These claws are a natural part of his body and are not made of keratin, as claws tend to be in the animal kingdom, but extremely dense bone. Logan's hands do not have openings for the claws to move through: they cut through his flesh every time he extrudes them, feeling a brief moment of slight pain in his hands whenever he unsheathes them.

Logan'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 cannot and also hear to greater distances. Logan 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. 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 due to perspiration when a lie is told.

Due to his skeletal coating, his claws can cut almost any known solid material, including most metals, wood, and some varieties of stone. The only known exceptions are adamantium itself and Captain America's shield, which is made out of an proto-adamantium-vibranium alloy. 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. His claws can also be used to block attacks or projectiles, as well as dig into surfaces allowing Wolverine to climb structures. The adamantium also weights his blows, increasing the effectiveness of his offensive capabilities. Unfortunately, his adamantium skeleton makes him highly susceptible to magnetic-based attacks.

Logan'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. Logan's agility and reflexes are also enhanced to levels that are beyond the physical limits of the finest human athlete. Due to his healing factor's constant regenerative qualities, he can push his muscles beyond the limits of the human body without injury. This, coupled by the constant demand placed on his muscles by over one hundred pounds of adamantium, 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. He has been known to break steel chains, lift several men above his head with one arm and throw them through a wall and hauling a concert grand piano, which can weigh as much as 1,300 pounds, and the platform it rests on, via a harness, while climbing a sheer cliff.


[b]Skills[/b]
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 and Captain America in single combat. He also has a wide knowledge of the body and pressure points. He is also an accomplished pilot and highly skilled in the field of espionage and covert operations.

He is fluent in English, Japanese, Russian, Chinese, Cheyenne, Spanish, Arabic, and Lakota; he also has some knowledge of French, Filipino, Thai, Vietnamese, German, Italian, Portuguese, Korean, Hindi, and Persian. 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."

[b]Personality Traits[/b]
Logan 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. Though he loathes it, he acknowledges that it has saved his life many times, it being most notably useful when he faces those with telepathic abilities, liking to keep his own thoughts to himself. 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.

In contrast to his brutish nature, Wolverine is extremely knowledgeable. Due to his increased lifespan, he has traveled around the world and amassed extensive knowledge of foreign languages and cultures. 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.

Logan 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 Yukiko, and has had romantic relationships with numerous women, though somehow always seeming to be 'in between girlfriends.'

[b]Backstory:[/b] 
Born in 1880 in a small town in Canada as James Howlette to rich farmers, Logan led a very comfortable life for the majority of his childhood. Then, one day, out of anger from being fired, Thomas Logan the previous groundskeeper, came to the farm and killed James' father. Furious, bone claws emerged from James' hands for the first time in his life and with an uncontrollable rage, killed Thomas by plunging his claws into Thomas' chest who upon dying, told James the truth that he was his real father. With the secret now brought to the front, James was cast out by his mother who James' learned a few years later when he came back, killed herself out of grief. He ran away with his childhood friend, Rose, and steadily grew into a man by taking up a job in a mining colony in the Yukon Territory, taking the name 'Logan' in honor of his real father.

After a slight incident that involved killing Rose with his claws, Logan once again was forced into running and for a couple of years lived with the wolves until returning to civilization, taking up residency with the Blackfoot Indians. It was here that he fell in love with an Indian woman, Silver Fox who died at the hands of Sabretooth who Logan then found out to be his older brother, Victor, whom he had never known. To escape his inner pain, Logan enlisted himself for World War 1, proving to be quite the combatant for reasons unknown, and unquestioned by his country. After the war, Logan spent some time in Japan where he became somewhat of an idol for the Yakuza, though working under-cover to help those who had been imprisoned by them. It was here that Logan met a good number of families forced into the Yakuza's bidding, namely the Masuyo family whom he lived with for a number of years and became a sort of brother figure to the youngest and only female, Yukiko.

However, after a handful of years World War 2 came around, and silently as though not to alarm the Yakuza, Logan left to help out where he could, serving no side but his own in what he felt was right in his heart. When it was over he resided in the United States where he was later approached by some men who pho promised to help him become a better mutant. Trusting these men, not having any reason not to, Logan went with them only to have his entire bone-structure remade out of adamantium, a metal that is virtually indestructible. 

After learning that these men only wanted to use him as a weapon and to wipe his memory, Logan escaped, though not without massive bloodshed on his part. Once more alone, it was then that Charles Xavier found him, implying that he had a job for him and after a good amount of work done on him by Xavier, Logan grew to trust him and agreed to help with his cause. Logan hasn't been back to Japan since, but has kept secret ties with a couple of families, hoping to bring them over to the United States where they could be free of the Yakuza.

[b]Other:[/b]
Logan has been involved in a couple handfuls of different wars over the years. Starting with World War I, Logan has since been involved in the Russian Civil War and World War II.

After returning from World War II, Logan went out and bought himself a [url=http://www.audi.com.au/etc/medialib/ngw/brand/company_history/models/1932_1945.Par.0089.Image.jpg/1932_dkw_block-350.jpg]1932 DKW Block 350 Motorcycle[/url] to make it easier to travel between Charles and Erik's bar and his own [url=http://www.precisioncraft.com/image/Floorplans/Telluride_large.jpg]log cabin[/url] that he built himself in an isolated part of the woods while Erik and Logan restored the bar. He didn't care much for the idea of room mates.

Although it rarely happens, sometimes Logan's body will completely shut down on him after a pulse of excruciating pain that will eventually render him unconscious. Unknown to everyone including Logan, this is because of the metal poisoning within his system that his body is slowly starting to reject.
