Physical Appearance:

• Logan has a very stocky build, he’s a 5’3 wall of muscle and adimantium with black hair, blue eyes, and mutton chops. Logan is very dense with him being extremely muscled and bulky due to having an Adimantium skeleton and needing to be able to move it freely. Logan has metal sheathes for his claws imbedded between his knuckles so his claws come out cleanly and straight so they don’t accidentally pop out his wrists. Logan always looks angry, with a firm brow that sports thick eyebrows, along the sides of his face are thick scraggly mutton chops, his hair licks up to a point on both sides of his head mirroring the wings on his wolverine mask. Logan’s body is covered in body hair. Logan’s body shape is triangular, with wide shoulders and a slightly thinner waist. Logan’s muscles are very defined and he has large hands. His skeleton is infused with adimantium, adding dramatically to his weight so he weighs around 300 pounds. Outfit:
• X-Men costume: The Wolverine costume is the same beight Yellow and Blue as it’s ever been. It’s primary color is yellow with blue striping along the side. Perched on the shoulders are blue shoulder pads. The gloves have a cut out for his claws to fit through, his cloves are blue with a black rubber palm to aid with gripping material, on the back of his gloves are a large yellow X. His mask is the same as it’s always been, yellow with two blue wings off the sides forming the iconic wolverine look. His boots are blue with black straps and accents.

Personality:

• The mutant named Logan, widely known as Wolverine, is a rough, fiercely independent man whose attitude has been sculpted by centuries of grief, loss and survival which fuels both his rage and his compassion. Logan is basically a gruff, withdrawn lone wolf who frequently prefers solitude over companionship. A societal outcast with an aggressive and animalistic nature in battle and a strong temper who does not take fools lightly. He's brutally honest, sometimes caustic to the point of abrasion, and has a hardened shell that protects a terribly wounded soul leading to repeatedly abusing alcohol and smoking to cope with trauma, pain, and emotional solitude. He's rebellious, stubborn, and values a strong moral code, yet he secretly cares deeply for his X-Men family. He frequently struggles with previous suffering, shame, and a yearning for peace, making him noble but emotionally guarded, with a soft place with people like Jean Grey and his children.
• His past has been filled with hardship, from his early childhood to being a painful experiment as the Weapon X, from tragic losses to never-ending battles, from joining World Wars to fighting for mutantkind, which has left him both physically and mentally resilient, but also guarded and volatile at times. Wolverine sometimes does not get along well with others, hence his arc is mainly about his struggle to work as a team. He values freedom and often struggles with authority, preferring to act on his own moral code rather than adhere to rules.
• What makes him an intriguing member of the X-Men team dynamic is also what makes him dangerous is that he's a wildcard. Wolverine, one of the well-known anti-heroes in Marvel, is unpredictable, brutal, and distrustful of authority, which makes him an excellent foil to more stable characters such as Professor Xavier and Scott Summers. Wolverine's age is another feature that sets him apart from the other X-Men. He wasn't a teenager when he arrived, unlike so many of Xavier's students, so he believes he knows how the world works. He not only appears to be older than the rest of the X-Men, but he is actually hundreds of years older, thanks to his mutant healing factor, which has kept him from aging and dying, but can’t heal the emotional scars he has.
• Despite Logan's bad boy appearance and behavior, he belies his fierce loyalty to those he considers family, friends and those he love, such as his fellow friends like Steve Rogers, who fought alongside him during WWII, Jean Grey, whose relationship is complex and shaped by loyalty, grief, admiration, desire and marked by intense deep friendship and attraction. Same with Storm, they share a complex and multifaceted relationship that goes beyond mere friendship, defined by immense emotional and romantic chemistry, a foundation of profound trust, and mutual admiration. And his children, such as Daken, whom he still cared. He has a strong sense of dignity and justice, but a jaded, occasionally world-weary worldview balances it. Despite the claws and wounds, there is a very caring individual beneath who is prepared to battle endlessly to protect those who cannot defend themselves. A man with a combination of hardness, loyalty, vulnerability, and ferocious independence, Wolverine represents the conflict between his savage nature and his need for connection, hanging to his humanity using such means as the samurai code of discipline. A century old wandering warrior with a heart, bruised but unbroken. Background:
• Gifted with a powerful healing factor and razor sharp claws, the Mutant called Logan was turned into a living weapon when the clandestine government organization Weapon X bonded indestructible Adamantium to his skeleton. Wolverine has proven to be more than a killing machine, finding ways to rise above his pain to do what's right for Mutants and humans alike. Now, Logan splits his time between battling Doom 2099 and ushering Mutants to safety on Krakoa. Even in the far future, Wolverine remains the best there is at what he does.
