It is noteworthy that Wolverine was supposed to appear in several comics as a hero of the second or even a third plan that did not have prospects for the future. First of all, it was associated with a poor character biography. It was only known that James Houlett works in the government of Canada.
In 1975, Logan came to the first release of the comic Giant-Size X-Men, where he entered the team of the X-Size - the superhero squad, which possesses the "Factor X" genome, which causes mutation.

With the 94 release of graphic novels, the X-Men series has undergone changes, but Wolverine still did not stand out among other owners of superconductors. But the screenwriters contributed to the comics. Voltage share: James Houlett fell by mutual love feelings for beauty Gray, thereby creating shocks with her young man Scott Summers.

But the illustrator John Bern infused the Cocrum replaced, so that Logan appeared in comics about the people of X, because he was Canadian himself and did not want to exclude from the pages of his "compatriot". Bern has developed a new storyline, creating a detachment alpha, and also endowed Wolverine contradictory features of character. In the future, a bold mutant launched a wave of fans and became a full-fledged superhero with an individual temperament.
The last comic, telling about James Howlette, called "Death of Wolverine" was published in 2014. In other publications dedicated to the mutant team, Logan replaced his clones and twins, as well as in the journal from 2015 instead of Wolverine, his son James Hudson appeared, arrived from the parallel universe.

The scripts came up with a full-fledged biography of Wolverine. Based on the events that occurred with a superhero in early years, one can judge the formation of the nature of this character. It is known that the boy has grown and brought up in the family of Elizabeth and the rich landowner John Holett. James was a second child, and his brother died at mysterious circumstances.
It would seem that carefree and rich childhood seemingly all that is needed for happiness, but James had weak health, and besides the guards of the estate Thomas Logan (possible biological father of Wolverine) added a significant portion of the tar in a barrel with honey.

After a nightmarish situation, Elizabeth could not live in a normal life and committed suicide. James, who remained the orphan, escaped from the estate, and his brain because of the stress suffered the past: for most of the comic, the mutant tried to collect remnants of memory for grains. Wolverine is shown in comics as a single, who works out with his personal problems. Superhero rude and incontestation, and also exists disrespect for authoritative people.
Wolverine, guided by an outsider policy, suspiciously refers to friends and former colleagues. However, the avid bachelor-mutant happened romantic relationships with women.
