Wolverine is a superhero who appears in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in the comic book The Incredible Hulk #180 (1974) and is best known as a member of the superhero team the X-Men. Wolverine is the alias of James Howlett (also known as Logan), a mutant born in Canada in the late 19th century. He possesses a range of superpowers including highly advanced self-healing abilities, a significantly prolonged lifespan, animal-keen senses, and retractable claws. His skeleton is reinforced with the unbreakable fictional metal adamantium, which he acquired after becoming an unwilling test subject in the Weapon X super soldier program. Wolverine is commonly depicted as a gruff loner susceptible to animalistic "berserker rages" who struggles to reconcile his humanity with his wild nature.
As a member of the X-Men, Wolverine has built strong relationships with many of his teammates, being close friends with Nightcrawler and Storm, with whom he also has an on-again, off-again relationship. He has also harbored feelings for Jean Grey, which has led to clashes with her husband and X-Men leader Cyclops. Across his life, Wolverine has had a son, Daken, his daughter X-23, and been a mentor to Kitty Pryde and Jubilee. His archenemy is fellow mutant and Weapon X participant Sabretooth, with whom he shares similar abilities.
The character was co-created by writer Len Wein and Marvel art director John Romita Sr., with his first published appearance written by Wein and drawn by artist Herb Trimpe. After joining the X-Men in 1975, the character was significantly developed by writer Chris Claremont, artist Dave Cockrum, and artist-writer John Byrne. He gained greater prominence as a standalone character when artist Frank Miller collaborated with Claremont on a four-isue eponymous limited series in 1982, which debuted the character's catchphrase: "I'm the best there is at what I do, but what I do best isn't very nice." Since 1988, Wolverine has often been featured in ongoing, self-titled series, while also remaining a member of X-Men-related comics. Major Wolverine stories include "Wounded Wolf" (1986), "Weapon X" (1991), "Enemy of the State" (2004-2005), and "Old Man Logan" (2008-2009).
Wolverine quickly emerged as the breakout character of the X-Men, and is among the most popular Marvel Comics characters. His willingness to use deadly force and his brooding loner nature became defining attributes of the many comic book antiheroes that emerged in the aftermath of the Vietnam War. Wolverine's mental health struggles have often been analyzed by academics and psychologists, cited as part of the character's appeal with audiences.
In addition to his comic appearances, Wolverine has been depicted in a wide range of adapted and spin-off media, including television, video games, and film. Wolverine's first major appearance outside of comics was in X-Men: The Animated Series (1992–97), voiced by Cal Dodd, which helped popularize the character among the general public; Dodd reprises his role in the revival series X-Men '97 (2024–present). Actor Hugh Jackman has portrayed the character in ten films, beginning with X-Men (2000) and most recently in Deadpool & Wolverine (2024).
