Wolverine is a Street Fighter hero with Super Karma. Born in the 1800s and involved in nearly every major conflict since the Civil War, this mutant was born with the power to regenerate from almost any wound incredibly quickly, as well as deploy special bone claws from his forearms (3 on each hand). Years of fighting have made him a good shot and a fearsome melee combatant.
This makes James a nearly perfect soldier. So much so, in fact, that he was selected for participation in the Weapon X program, which bonded his skeleton with adamantium. This extremely rare metal made his bones effectively indestructible, his claws razor sharp, and adding a hundred or so pounds of weight to the man's anatomy (Can't Swim).
After taking an adamantium bullet to the head, Wolverine's memory of the Weapon X program and all that came before it was lost. Now going by the name Logan, he encountered the X-Men, a group of mutant individuals using their powers to fight for peace and equality for mutants, as well as fending off the villainous Magneto's attempts to make mutants the dominant species on the planet.
Before the fusing of the adamantium to his skeleton, his Powers were as follows (no Super Karma):
Super Powers:
- Ageless (1): Regeneration heals as fast as he ages.

- Resistance (2): Cold, Psionics.
- Super Attributes (6): Strength +3.
- Super Edge (2): Hard to Kill.
