Wolverine is a mutant with the mutations of an incredible healing factor of unbelievable speed and
effiency. Wolverine can sustain incredible amount of damage to his body and heal itself in a matter
of seconds. It is this healing factor that made possible the operations that gave him his greatest and
most deadliest of weapons, a layer of adamantium, a indestructible form of metal, grafted to his
skeleton and a retractable adamantium CLAWS.

Normally, the claws remain hidden within his forearms, but at his mental command they shoot forth,
ermerging from the back of his hands. Also, his mutant healing ability retards the aging prcess in his
body. He may look relatively young, but some have speculated that is old eonough to have been a
soldier during World War II. His other mutant abilities are enhanced senses. He can see like a hawk,
identify the scent of odor on people, animals and objects, he has extraordinary hearing.

Wolverine first became a costumed hero in Canada (Weapon X) but has come to prominence as a
member of the Uncanny X-Men. The X-men are a group of indiviuals that have mutant powers, led
by Professor Xavier. Check out the Uncanny X-Men home page for further details.
