It's easy to look at Wolverine and think you know everything there is to know about him. He seems simple enough on the surface. He's gruff and rude. He has claws with which he makes stabbing motions. He loves beer and redheads in equal measure.
But this most popular of mutants is also well over a century old. He's done and seen many things in that time. The comics used to always shy away from revealing too much about Wolverine's past. But in recent years, the floodgates have opened and many writers have begun fleshing out the dark, murky areas of his history.
The more you try to delve into Wolverine's history, the more convoluted it can become. That's why we've put together this handy little guide to everything Wolverine. In Origins and Beginnings, we trace the path of the character over the years. We point out the watershed moments and important graphic novels to look for. And we even look at how the comics have impacted and influenced the X-Men movies.
Wolverine may be the best there is at what he does, but now you can finally understand just what it is he does in the first place.
-----------------------
The Origin
Marvel waited some 30 years after Wolverine's creation to truly explore his early years and even reveal his real name. But finally, with 2001's Wolverine: Origin, they did just that. It turns out that Wolverine was born James Howlett, the son of a rich landowner in late 18th Century Canada. Young James was a sickly child, so his father hired a young girl named Rose to serve as both a caretaker and playmate for the boy. Together with Dog, the son of the groundskeeper Thomas Logan, the trio enjoyed a reasonably happy childhood.
However, this quiet domestic life was torn apart when the Logan family was fired and sent away. Thomas attempted to rob the house and steal away Elizabeth Howlett. He murdered John in cold blood, prompting James to unsheathe his claws for the first time. He killed Thomas and wounded Dog before fleeing with Rose.
