Known superhuman powers: Wolverine is blessed with
animal-keen senses -- especially a hyper-acute sense of
smell, enabling him to track people and objects by scent.
Also, he possesses adamantium-laced, retractable claws
housed in his forearms -- which he can release at will
through his skin between the knuckles on each hand. In
addition, an accelerated healing factor based on his
physiology allows Wolverine to survive wounds that would
prove fatal to most humans and mutants.
History: One of Magneto's operatives and a product of the
mysterious Weapon X project, Wolverine is a trained
assassin. Somehow, his skeletal structure and mutant bone
claws were laced with the unbreakable metal known as
adamantium, forging an unstoppable killing machine. This
also makes him a valued soldier of Magneto's Brotherhood of
Mutants -- terrorists operating under the assumption that
Homo superior represent the next step in human evolution,
and that Homo sapiens should live under the rule of
mutants.
Little is known about Wolverine or his past, save that he is
the best there is at what he does. And what he does is kill.
His current target: Charles Xavier.
