Sample Role-Play Post[/size]
It was getting way, way too convenient for the Professor and the rest of the adults in the school to put off babysitting duty on Logan. It wasn't like Logan had anything else to attend to, if you asked them. Whenever Logan came around to catch up with everyone at the school, it just so happened that everyone was leaving for something. He was beginning to think that if he never came around, no one would ever go out for any errands.
Logan had spent the better part of the day just wandering around the school, making sure the children weren't burning things, pulling down walls, stealing other children's powers, or anything that would not be considered 'healthy' for them or those around them. Though it was frustrating, he kept telling himself they were just kids, and that calmed him down......somewhat.
It was now past the curfew, and Logan was one of the only mutants in the house who were still awake. He sat alone in the academy's living room, staring with little interest at the late evening news, trying to get an update on the Skynet situation. He sipped on a flat soda, staring at the can like it had done something wrong every time he took another sip.
The news lady continued her blabbering, but Logan noticed something over her voice. Someone else was in the school. Sure, the kids were there, but this wasn't a kid. This didn't smell like a kid, move like a kid. Logan slipped from the couch, stepping over to the wall between the living room and the doorway. Logan could still hear the footsteps, noting that they were far too comfortable for someone sneaking around. This intruder was either very convinced that no one was home, or had been here before.
Without a word, Logan shot around the corner as the footsteps neared, releasing his claws and looking to tackle the intruder to the ground.

Special Abilities
(comicvine)
Like all other super-powered mutants, Wolverine was born with a special power, which in his case was an incredible healing ability which would enable him to recover from injuries at surprising speed. It appears to be this ability that made it possible for Wolverine's entire skeleton to be reinforced with adamantium, the Marvel Universe's most nearly indestructible known metal. Wolverine's claws, which he uses as the deadliest of weapons, are made of adamantium, too, and extend from the backs of his hands at his mental command. There is more to that hot temper that Wolverine displays: he has an animalistic, murderous side to his personality that once seemed wholly uncontrollable. Even when Wolverine is in full control of himself, he can be ruthless with his enemies. However unlike other mutants Wolverine will never stop mutating, this means his abilities like his healing factor and animal senses will continue to get stronger. Feral by nature Wolverine's constant mutation process will cause him to degenerate physically and mentally into a more primitive, bestial state.
Wolverine is a mutant with the abilities to rapidly heal and regenerate damage inflicted upon his body. His healing factor has increased in strength through the years that the only way to kill Wolverine is to decapitate him and remove his brain from the vicinity of his body. He is immune to most drugs and poisons, and his rate of aging has been slowed down considerably. His healing factor was originally supposed to be just accelerated healing, however, through the years, writers have made his healing much more powerful to the point where he could regenerate lost organs. Since Wolverine has the ability to heal quickly, his stamina is practically limitless. An example of Wolverine's incredible stamina is when he fought Omega Red for 18 straight hours. Wolverine’s healing factor also allows him to push his strength beyond any normal human being’s limit.
Wolverine also possesses amazing agility and reflexes. He possess animalistic senses which allow him to see further than normal humans, hear better and also enables him to track people by scent. His other senses are so strong that even in complete darkness, Wolverine can basically see through it. His hearing ability allows him to hear things humans cannot and he can also hear things from a great distance. Wolverine’s physical build is also a part of his mutation in which he has sharp teeth and three retractable bone Wolverine's Claws housed in his fore-arms. His bone claws are strong enough to cut through most types of materials such as most metals, wood and some types of stone. This allows Wolverine to climb sheer structures. When he extracts the claws, it always cuts through his knuckles but his healing factor closes the wound right away. His skeletal system and claws are coated with adamantium making them virtually unbreakable during the Weapon X program. The adamantium gives Wolverine the ability to cut through any solid material. With the adamantium infused throughout his skeleton, it protects his brain since it is laced through the skull. The adamantium being laced all over his skeleton also allows Wolverine to lift heavy objects without shattering any bones.
Wolverine is considered one of the best hand to hand fighters in the world. He has exceptional hand-to-hand fighting skills, as well as being adept at using many different types of weapons. Throughout his entire life traveling the world, Wolverine has become a master of every form of martial arts. Wolverine was also a samurai and was a skilled katana user. Wolverine is one of if not the best hand to hand fighter on Earth, he has defeat other master fighter's like Shang-Chi and he has beaten Captain America many times, he has killed thousands of Hand ninja's at a time. Wolverine is also skilled in espionage due to his time in the army and being made a weapon. He recently took down 5 Mystic Masters at the same time without even pulling out his claws.
In addition to his physical skills, Wolverine is very intelligent. Having had an increased lifespan, he traveled around the world and amassed knowledge of foreign culture. He speaks fluent English, Japanese, Russian, Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, Cheyenne, and Lakota and knows some French, German, Thai, Vietnamese, Italian, and Portuguese.
Wolverine has the ability to go into berserk rage in which his mind acts on animal instinct and rage. During this mode he is immune to any psionic attack and attacks relentlessly.
Wolverine is also capable of using attacks such as the Fastball Special, a move which was perfected with Colossus. It involves Colossus throwing Wolverine at much greater speeds than he could have attained on his own. It is also beneficial in helping Wolverine reach areas that he couldn't have reached on his own. A slightly different technique is also used with Cannonball, known as the Cannonball Special.

Brief History [Spoilers][/size]
(Marvel.com)
Born the second son of wealthy landowners John and Elizabeth Howlett in Alberta, Canada during the late 19th Century, James Howlett was a frail boy of poor health. James was largely neglected by his mother, who was institutionalized for a time following the death of her first son, John Jr., in 1897. He spent most of his early years on the estate grounds and had two playmates that lived on the Howlett estate with him: Rose, a red-headed girl who was brought in from town to be a companion to young James, and a boy nicknamed "Dog" who was the son of the groundskeeper, Thomas Logan. Thomas Logan was an alcoholic and was extremely abusive to his son. The children were close friends but as they reached young adulthood, the abuse inflicted upon Dog warped his mind. His actions would lead to a tragic chain of events. that started as the three neared their adolescent years when Dog made unwanted advances toward Rose and James reported it to his father. In retaliation Dog killed James's pet dog. This in turn resulted in the expulsion of Thomas Logan and Dog Logan from the estate.
Thomas Logan, in a drunken stupor, invaded the Howlett estate with his son and attempted to take Elizabeth Howlett (implied to be his former lover) with him. John attempted to stop him and Thomas Logan shot him down in cold blood. James Howlett had just entered the room when this occurred and for the first time his mutation manifested; his claws extended from the backs of his hands and he attacked the intruders with uncharacteristic ferocity, killing Thomas Logan, and scarring Dog's face with three claw marks. Elizabeth Howlett, who was already an emotionally disturbed woman, took her life immediately afterward with a blast from Thomas's gun. Fearing for their safety, Rose fled the estate with James, who appeared to have been deeply traumatized and had somehow repressed or forgotten most of the memories of life back at the estate. Dog falsely reported to the police and James's grandfather that Rose had murdered John Howlett II and Thomas Logan. The eldest Howlett, shunned James and with no family left, took Dog in as his ward. However, Dog was already a burgeoning psychopath and it was too late for his character to evolve down any other path.
In the years that followed, James and Rose took refuge in a British Colombia mining colony under the guise of being cousins. James also assumed the name of "Logan" in order to hide his identity. As the hard work of mining toughened his body, and his mutant powers developed, he grew to be unusually strong and ferocious. He was immune to the elements and even ran with the wolves in the forest, learning to hunt as an animal hunts. "Logan" became a valuable and admirable figure amongst the small community of miners due to his hard work and strong ethics, earning him the respect of his peers, including the foreman Smitty, who became a surrogate father figure to James. During this period, James developed strong feelings for Rose, but could not act on them for the sake of their guise as cousins. Smitty, who had been mentoring James all these years, had also grown close to Rose, and the two eventually fell in love and became engaged, much to the scorn and surprise of James, who later accepted the situation for the sake of Rose's happiness. Meanwhile, the elder John Howlett was in failing health and asked Dog to find Rose and his grandson so he could make peace with them before he died. Dog agreed. However, Dog (who has become a physically formidable man himself) decides to track them down so he can kill James.
Dog hunted James and Rose down so easily that it seemed he had a preternatural skill for tracking. On then night that Smitty was due to leave the mining town with Rose, Dog (who bears an uncanny resemblance to Logan's future nemesis, Sabretooth) finally found and confronted James. Dog reminded James of his past, and that faithful night back on the estate that had changed all their lives so. The two fiercely fought in the middle of the street and despite being the physically stronger of the two Dog was eventually overpowered by the enraged James. As Dog laid unconscious, James unsheathed his claws for the first time in public, to the shock of everyone watching, and was about to deal the deathblow until Rose leapt in to stop him but was accidentally was impaled by his claws. Horrified, "Logan" held her in his arms as she died. He then fled into the woods where he lived in self-imposed exile with a pack of wolves, presumably for many years.
Logan possesses memories of being a Samurai in Japan, a mercenary operative for the Central Intelligence Agency, and a "wild man" in the Canadian wilderness. Due to extensive memory implants given to Logan through the Weapon X program, any or all of these memories are suspect. Logan has at least one memory of meeting Captain America (Steve Rogers) in World War II while he was in the Canadian Army which has been verified as true. Sometime after World War II, Logan was taken by a group of scientists led by Dr. Cornelius as part of the Weapon X program. Cornelius was hired to perfect and use a technique that would bond the indestructible element adamantium to human bone cells. Logan's skeleton was bonded to the adamantium, and he was indoctrinated into the Weapon X assassin program.
Wolverine was conscripted by Department H, and for his first mission was sent against the incredible Hulk. Wolverine was subsequently approached by Professor Charles Xavier, who was looking for mutants to help his students, the X-Men, escape from the island-being known as Krakoa, which had captured them. Wolverine left Alpha Flight to accompany Xavier and rescue the captured X-Men. After Krakoa was defeated, Wolverine decided to stay with the X-Men, for reasons which included that he had fallen for Marvel Girl (Jean Grey). Logan remained with the X-Men for quite some time, at one time being their field commander, and encountered adversaries such as Proteus (Kevin MacTaggart), Magneto (Magnus), the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, the Brood, the Reavers, demons from the dimension of Limbo, the Marauders, the Morlocks, and even Dracula on one occasion.
After his encounter with the mutant assassin Omega Red, Logan began to question the memories he possessed, but his searches to find his true identity and memories proved fruitless. During an encounter with the mutant Magneto on his space station called Avalon, Wolverine slashed Magneto with his claws. Magneto retaliated, using his powers of the magnetic field to tear the adamantium out of Wolverine's skeleton, causing extensive injuries. These injuries shorted out Wolverine's healing factor for a time, and Logan also discovered that the claws that he believed a result of the Weapon X project were in fact part of his actual bone structure due to his mutation. These bone claws became Wolverine's main weapons until his skeleton later became grafted to adamantium again.
As a result of his injuries, Logan left the X-Men for a time. He visited Muir Island at the request of Kitty Pryde, and was also attacked by Cyber. During the Phalanx invasion, Logan and Cable were asked by Charles Xavier to find and rescue the captured X-Men. They joined with Cyclops (Scott Summers) and Jean Grey returning from their honeymoon (and secretly the future) and freed their teammates in Tibet. Later, Logan was kidnapped by Tyler Dayspring, calling himself Genesis, who wanted to make Wolverine one of his new Horsemen. Genesis had acquired adamantium by destroying the body of the mercenary known as Cyber, and had planned to recreate the bonding process used on Logan years ago. This time, however, Logan's body rejected the adamantium, and he regressed for a time to a feral-like state.
Logan regained his lucidity and rejoined the X-Men. Logan was subsequently kidnapped by the would-be conqueror Apocalypse (En Sabah Nur) and forced to fight the savage assassin Sabretooth for the mantle of the Horseman Death. Knowing that he might be able to resist Apocalypse's programming and that Sabretooth would be a very dangerous villain with the support of Apocalypse, Logan fought and defeated his nemesis. As a result, his skeleton again was laced with Adamantium. Under the control of Apocalypse, Wolverine fought the X-Men ferociously in his Death persona. But with the help of his teammates, he eventually broke free from Apocalypse's control.
While on the Weapon Plus satellite, Logan was able to access detailed files on his past. However, it was a trap, and only Jean's manifestation of the Phoenix was able to save them. Wolverine greatly mourns Jean's loss, was not pleased with Cyclops and Emma Frost's relationship, but has remained a valued member of the X-Men, serving on as many missions as he can while also doing solo operations.
Wolverine was ambushed by the Hand and Hydra. Transformed into a killing machine and outfitted with several devices, he battled various other heroes and killed both Hornet and Northstar. S.H.I.E.L.D. was eventually able to deprogram Logan, and he was sent to oppose Northstar, who also had been resurrected by Hydra. While on a mission in the Savage Land, he met the recently reformed Avengers and eventually accepted membership.
Recently, Wolverine unnerved many high level officials, including those of S.H.I.E.L.D., by his sporadic movements in and out of the grid, with the tensions mounting in what seemed to be Wolverine's attempted assassination of the prime minister of Japan. Eventually it was revealed that Wolverine's true target was not the prime minister, but his bodyguard, the Silver Samurai. During an interrogation that began during their battle, and ended shortly after Logan severed the samurai's arm, Wolverine received some more information that led him back to Department H. Despite what he had originally thought, it was not the carelessness of his captors that allowed him to escape; rather, the Winter Soldier seemingly interfered with the operation in such a way that allowed Logan's escape. Wolverine tracked down the Winter Soldier in Serbia for information, but was rendered unconscious after a struggle after which the Winter Soldier revealed that he had earlier murdered Logan's pregnant wife.

Sample Role-Play Post[/size]
It was getting way, way too convenient for the Professor and the rest of the adults in the school to put off babysitting duty on Logan. It wasn't like Logan had anything else to attend to, if you asked them. Whenever Logan came around to catch up with everyone at the school, it just so happened that everyone was leaving for something. He was beginning to think that if he never came around, no one would ever go out for any errands.
Logan had spent the better part of the day just wandering around the school, making sure the children weren't burning things, pulling down walls, stealing other children's powers, or anything that would not be considered 'healthy' for them or those around them. Though it was frustrating, he kept telling himself they were just kids, and that calmed him down......somewhat.
It was now past the curfew, and Logan was one of the only mutants in the house who were still awake. He sat alone in the academy's living room, staring with little interest at the late evening news, trying to get an update on the Skynet situation. He sipped on a flat soda, staring at the can like it had done something wrong every time he took another sip.
The news lady continued her blabbering, but Logan noticed something over her voice. Someone else was in the school. Sure, the kids were there, but this wasn't a kid. This didn't smell like a kid, move like a kid. Logan slipped from the couch, stepping over to the wall between the living room and the doorway. Logan could still hear the footsteps, noting that they were far too comfortable for someone sneaking around. This intruder was either very convinced that no one was home, or had been here before.
Without a word, Logan shot around the corner as the footsteps neared, releasing his claws and looking to tackle the intruder to the ground.
