He's rather short-tempered, impatient, arrogant, angry at human society for hating and fearing the growing mutant population. He has a berserker rage that can be ignited very easily, and in combination with his adamantium claws, makes him a very lethal opponent and bad ass. His keen animal like senses of enhanced smell, sight, and hearing make him very aware of the environment around him and gives him a leg up whenever danger is around. Logan has survived in the northern Canadian territory by constantly moving around for the last fifteen years. The only memories he has been able to extract are the short glimpses from his nightmares. He's a beer drinking, bar brawling tough guy. His mutant gifts and feral nature have made Logan feel very alone in the world. To survive, he's relied on his instincts taking only what he needs. There is no knowledge of his past - his childhood, family, friends. However, his wondrous gift of accelerated healing made him the subject of torturous experiments, where his entire skeleton was augmented by the surgical grafting of the new and unbreakable alloy adamantium as well as a set of 9" razor sharp claws that are housed within his arms and can be extended from between the knuckles at will. One cannot hold his bad traits over him. His personal pain and lack of memory have indeed taken there toll, and the resulting anger he holds is amplified by the fact that human society despises all mutants. It seems to be that his arrogance and distance is to hide his true feelings of loneliness. If one is able to gain his trust, and that is a very tough endeavor to say the least, he is a man of honor and loyalty. He won't kill unless forced to - still keeping his humanity close to him. Nevertheless, Logan refuses to ally himself to anyone - it would seem his inability to fully trust prohibits him from it. Even though Xavier has tried to make Wolverine feel accepted and at home within his school, it would seem that at any time and without reason the loner in Logan may just pick up and go. It is hard to not feel for Wolverine, as with any of his mutant compatriots for they only wish to live as everyone else does - to be accepted as a part of society. It is the underlying message of tolerance and the desire to live in peace that all society needs to grasp. For only then, will all of humanity learn that despite one's differences - no matter how small or how deep - whether it be outward appearance or on the genetic level - we are all still human beings. |
