History
General History: Until his first
recorded encounter with the green-skinned behemoth called
the Hulk as an agent of Canada's Department H,
Wolverine's past remains shrouded in mystery. Due to
extensive memory implants, even his own recollections are
suspect: Was he a samurai in Japan? A mercenary operative
for the Central Intelligence Agency? A "wild
man" living off the Canadian wilderness? At least
one of Logan's earlier memories -- meeting Captain
America, the star-spangled Super-Soldier, during World
War II -- has been verified as true. It's possible his
healing factor affords him an extended life span and has
granted him the physical condition of a man in his prime,
despite his age.
Some time after World War II, Logan was drafted into the
Canadian government's Weapon X project by a group of
scientists who had been hired to perfect and implement a
technique that would graft the indestructible metal
Adamantium to human bone cells. The Adamantium was bonded
with Logan's skeleton during a procedure he survived
thanks only to his accelerated healing factor; he was
indoctrinated into the program as an assassin, codename
Wolverine.
Following Wolverine's encounter with the
Hulk, Canada's Department H conscripted him to lead Alpha
Flight, a team of superhuman government agents. Wolverine
aided in the initial phases of the team's creation, but
left Department H at the request of the telepathic,
telekinetic Professor Charles Xavier to help rescue the
original X-Men from the clutches of the island-being
known as Krakoa.

Wolverine remained with the X-Men, standing in defense of
a world on the brink of genetic war, partly because he
had fallen for telekinetic teammate Jean Grey. Following
an encounter with the mutant assassin Omega Red, Logan
began to question his memories. However, all efforts to
discover his true identity and past proved fruitless.
During one of the many clashes between the
mutant terrorist Magneto and the X-Men, the Master of
Magnetism tore the Adamantium from Wolverine's body.
Logan's extensive injuries shorted out his healing factor
for a time, and he learned the claws he believed had been
a product of the Weapon X program were in fact a natural
mutation. Wolverine's actual claws are bones, part of his
skeletal structure.
Still without his Adamantium, Logan was kidnapped by the
would-be conqueror Apocalypse, perhaps the world's first
mutant, and forced to fight the savage assassin
Sabretooth for the mantle of the Horseman Death. Viewing
himself as a more merciful candidate than his fellow
mutant, Logan fought hard to win the battle. As a result,
his skeleton again was laced with Adamantium. Under the
control of Apocalypse, Wolverine fought the X-Men
ferociously in his Death persona. But with the help of
his teammates, he eventually broke free from Apocalypse's
control.
