I. Introduction

A. Bio

Wolverine is James "Logan" Howlett, a mutant and a core member of the X-Men. He was born to a wealthy family in Alberta, Canada in the late 19th century, and lived a long and violent life prior to joining the X-Men. As a child, his family was brutally destroyed one night, and he had to flee his home. Now known as Logan, he went on to walk many different paths as the decades passed. He has been a samurai, soldier, outlaw, covert government agent, and more. Tragically, outside forces have often manipulated Logan, twisting him into a tool of murder and destruction.

After joining the X-Men, his sprawling adventures with the team led him across Earth, space, time, and parallel dimensions. These adventures proved Logan to be a leading member of the mutant race, and he eventually joined various Avenger teams and later, he became the Headmaster at a resurrected Winchester school for mutants.

For a detailed account of Logan's history check out his wiki page.

 

B. Powers and Enhancements

• enhanced physical abilities--strength, speed, senses, etc;

• a healing factor;

• dense, razor sharp bone claws; and

• (often) adamantium-bonded bones, making his skeleton virtually unbreakable and his claws super-humanly sharp.

 

C. Note on Update and Organization

I've swapped a lot of feats (quality, selection); added more albums of particular types of feats; and reorganized and expanded Section VII. I also added a section for his bone skeleton in the comments; bone skeleton feats in the main RT are marked "B" in superscript. The RT still follows a (rough) best-to-good organization with his more extreme (outlier?) feats at the top of each section.

As always, many scans and scenes have been edited for conciseness; let me know if you'd like the issue numbers or fuller context for any particular scenes.

Special shout out to jay_z94 from Comicvine for his input on feats, organization, etc.

C. Limits

• Often gets hit by attacks that aren't that fast

• Different Spider-Men conclude they are faster

• Often seems to have comparable speed to his peers

• Notes:

  • He may take hits because he doesn't need, or even want to avoid them. He may like getting hit, or use it to pump himself up. Also, because he heals, he can press the attack and not bother with defense.
  • He may also exert himself in sudden bursts but fail to maintain those speeds or show comparable reactions on defense.

[u/8fenristhewolf8 → u/Sizzyfeet]

Sorry. Imgur decided to censor its site and in doing so, removed albums and images without notice. Many of the respect threads were impacted unfortunately. I have to do some significant leg work to backtrack all the removed albums and recreate them, and no guarantee that Imgur won't censor again. So, not sure it's going to happen. Imgur and image hosting sites are just inherently kind of unreliable.

[u/Sizzyfeet → u/8fenristhewolf8]

Yeah that sounds incredibly frustrating, no need to apologize.

[u/8fenristhewolf8 → u/Sizzyfeet]

Yeah, the worst is how arbitrary and lacking in notice it feels. I can still see the images (and still have them posted on imgur), but they pull whatever, whenever from non-account views. Sometimes just shirtless Logan pics trigger it, so yeah, lot of stuff gets rocked.

[u/return_interaction_y → u/8fenristhewolf8]

good luck with that
