Story: Logan's early life is unclear. He is known to be very old. In fact he fought in World War II. He even fought with Captain America, Bucky, and the Howling Commandos. He encountered Mystique in the form of Raven. She knew him by the name of James, though it is never revealed whether this is his real name or one he simply used. She was part of Weapon X and the two loved each other. He surrendered himself to Weapon X so that she could escape. He then became a Weapon X experiment so she could be free. The program covered his bones in adamantium and gave him razor sharp claws. He performed several missions, one was to kill a man called Maverick. Once Wolverine learned the man had a child he could not do it, so Sabretooth was brought in to finish the job. All Wolverine really remembers of the mission was staggering into flames to rescue the man's daughter and finding the man gone. The program then wiped his memory erasing all of his early life. At one point Logan was in love with a beautiful girl named Mariko Yashida. But her father wanted her to marry a man named Harada because he was of Japanese nobility and a member of the Yakuza Crime Circle. Harada challenged Logan to a samurai match for Mariko's hand. Swords only, no powers. Logan beat Harada but Mariko still chose Harada. It turns out that if she had not the clan would have killed Logan and her on the spot. He left Japan heartbroken and confused. Wolverine, at some later point, joined the X-Men at the Xavier Mansion. He became very close with the other X-Man Rogue. She saw him as a father figure, probably because the two were so alike and she did not get along as well with the other members of the team. Unfortunately he was constantly coming and going, much to the irritation of Rogue. When Logan first appeared with the X-Men Jean Grey felt intrigued by him, to the anger of her boyfriend Scott Summers. Logan and Scott would develop a rivalry for Jean's affections. He became known among the students for raising the threat level in the Danger Room beyond what the students could handle. Logan also became aware of Emma Frost and the Massachusetts Academy. He knew that Emma's school was like Xavier's but she was teaching them to bully others. This was something that few of the other X-Men knew about. Wolverine and Cyclops took part in advertising the team to better their image. Their pictures were used on billboards to promote the team. This drew the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Maria Hill. Logan intended to leave once again. He said good bye to Shadowcat, Nightcrawler, and Colossus by capturing them with the Danger Room. He waved good bye to Jean, who waved back, and was glared at by Scott because of it. Beast got him to talk to Rogue, who was upset at his leaving again. He tried to comfort her but she angrily stormed off. He walked back to the mansion intending to say farewell to Xavier and Ororo Munroe. However, before he could he saw Xavier writhe in pain. Jean was also in pain. Logan ran up to Xavier only to be caught in some kind of explosion. Afterwards he got up looking around. He saw many of the students injured and Scott desperately looking for Jean. Without Xavier the X-Men broke up and went on their separate ways. Logan took a motorcycle with his stuff on it and wandered the country. He became wanted by the Mutant Response Division. He encountered Colonel Moss somehow and the Colonel became determined to capture the mutant. Over time he lost track of all of the other X-Men.
