Wolverine
is a fictional character, a superhero that appears in comic books published by Marvel
Comics. Born James Howlett and commonly known as Logan, Wolverine
is a mutant who possesses animal-keen senses, enhanced physical capabilities,
and a healing factor that allows him to recover from virtually any wound,
disease, or toxin at an accelerated rate. The healing factor also slows down
his aging process, enabling him to live beyond a normal human lifespan. His
powerful healing factor enabled him to survive having the near-indestructible metal
alloy adamantiun bonded to his skeleton. He is most often depicted as a member
of the X-Men, Alpha Flight, or later the Avengers.
