==Summary==
James Howlett, or commonly Logan, AKA Wolverine is a primary protagonist in the Marvel vs. Capcom series. Born in the 19th century, as part of the "Weapon X" program, James Howlett had his skeleton forcibly augmented with adamantium, a nearly-indestructible metal which made him resistant to physical harm, chemicals and poisonous gasses, even giving him razor-sharp claws and a healing factor. At one time, Wolverine worked as a secret agent for the Canadian government but would not follow their protocol, thus severing his ties with the government and joined the X-Men, a group of heroic mutants founded by Professor Charles Xavier. He is also associated with other superhero teams like the Avengers and X-Force.
At some point after Magneto's defeat, Thanos had wiped out half of the population with the Infinity Gems, Wolverine joined the heroes and villains of Earth to stop the Mad Titan, an effort the yielded success. He later responded to the return of Apocalypse twice, fought alongside heroes from the Capcom Universe to take on Onslaught, aided in the defeat of Abyss as well as Galactus.
