The most popular X-Man and one of the most iconic characters in comics. A Canadian mutant with an unbreakable adamantium skeleton, razor claws, and a healing factor that has kept him alive for over a century. Logan is a man of contradictions — feral violence and quiet honor, lone wolf instincts and fierce loyalty. Claremont and Miller's reinvention of him as a ronin figure transformed him from a scrappy brawler into a legend.
