After seeing the death of the man he believed to be his father, a young teen named James Howlett manifests his mutant abilities—an advanced healing factor, as well as bone claws emerging from between the bases of his fingers. Accidentally killing his actual father, Thomas Logan, James and his half-brother, Victor Creed, run off together and go into hiding, living a long life as mercenaries and soldiers due to the seeming immortality granted by their mutant healing abilities.
