 I've been alive for just a little **too long**... And I have lost just a little **too much** along the way.
—**Levi**[src]
Burdened with a dark rage, the mutant **Wolverine** is known by many as a hero among heroes despite his reservations and failings; born as **Marc Shaw** in Ontario, Canada, to a southern family seeking to flee America following a series of crimes committed by the Shaw Family. During the War of 1812, Levi would activate his latent mutant gene, but after learning that his family had been massacred, he fled Canada and traveled the world as a nomad. Later, during World War II, Levi enlisted in the Marines. He was recruited for The Invaders, where he met Bucky Barnes, Steve Rogers, and Dakari Onasi and was given the codename Wolverine.

However, after Steve's believed death, Levi was kidnapped and taken by Unit 347, and his skeleton was grafted to the indestructible and irradiated Myrtha. However, the process rendered Levi an amnesiac, and he woke up in a hospital in Canada. He adopted the name Levi after failing to remember his past. A nomad once again, Levi ended up in Japan, where he settled down. Sadly, after a harrowing experience, Levi was forced to leave Japan and become a savage nomad.

However, after regaining parts of his memory, Levi involved himself in the superhuman war against SHIELD and assisted Shay Daniels and Tyler Price in fighting Miranda Joel. Levi was offered a spot with the Hooligans for his efforts in the war, which he accepted. Ready to stop being a savage nomad, Levi began to settle in and started to love the city of Vegas. However, enemies from Levi's past began to resurface, forcing him to become the savage nomad he once was again.

## Personality

Levi is a complicated man who is constantly lost in the world. He comes off as rude, angry, and indifferent, but this is all because of his violent actions and memory loss. These aspects of his personality have led to him having little patience for those around him, making him seem more annoyed by their presence than anything. However, this is only towards those he doesn't know or trust. He is more personable and almost pleasant to the few he considers friends. With the people Levi loves, he is a well-meaning asshole, for lack of a better term. His wit and humor are oft-dry and partially insulting but said with genuine care and love for those close to him.

However, there is a darker aspect to Levi's personality. It was born out of the several decades of trauma and PTSD that has left Levi emotionally and mentally scarred, and it is his fury. Having never and most likely will never deal with the things that grant him nightmares every night, Levi has become an angry and irritable individual. It is this that explains his attitude towards new people. It comes out most prominently in combat, which is why he is less inclined to be merciful to people who enrage him, but it is also why Levi tries to steer away from violence. It never succeeds, but he does try not to engage in combative situations. He believes that "Violence is never the answer, but it is an answer, and it is usually an effective one."

While Levi isn't a troublemaker but has always been around trouble, he isn't one to shy away from violence, either. He will fight to end the fight rather than fight to survive, leading to several dead bodies or incapacitation. It is through his rage that Levi harbors no remorse or guilt over killing people, even if they do haunt him at night. However, he has gained some level of mercy and restraint over the years due to joining the Hooligans.

Despite being part of the aforementioned Hooligans, Levi still prefers to be alone, at home, or alone at home. He deeply distrusts people, regardless of whether they are heroes or not, and has outright refused to "team bond," and that stems from witnessing over five decades of war, violence, and widespread prejudice. However, there are a few exceptions to this. Shay Daniels and Emiko Araska were those two exceptions before Emiko's death. Despite all this, Levi is hugely loyal, protective of the people he considers friends and family, and a good man. He has showcased numerous times that he is willing to sacrifice himself for the people he cares about. Even with his hardened exterior, Levi considers Hooligans his family.

## Attributes

### Powers

**Mutant Biology:** Levi is a mutant and was impressive before the skeleton grafting. He is one of the earliest mutants to have existed and one of the few to showcase his abilities connected to his animalistic and baser instincts. Interestingly, Levi doesn't have a secondary mutation, and his litany of abilities are based on the singular mutation during the War of 1812. Unit 347 scientists claimed that the likelihood of Levi mutating further is slim to none as his body had reached the maximum potential that it could attain genetically.

* **Regenerative Healing Factor:** Levi can heal at an incredible rate that has been undiscovered by any mutant or human mutate. He recovers from wounds almost instantaneously, regardless of their severity. Levi has survived injuries that otherwise would have killed the average person within a matter of seconds, such as gunshots, being blown up, getting hit by a car, being stabbed, and even nuclear warheads (granted, this was post-skeleton graft). The entire healing process is involuntary and cannot be controlled by either Levi or outside factors but can be removed or halted by external factors. However, the process was tracked by Unit 347 scientists and observed by Bucky Barnes. Levi's regeneration will heal life-threatening injuries first, then move on to the minor ones, allowing Levi to continue fighting or moving as his body heals the wounds that halt both eventualities. To further this point, external contaminants or toxins are automatically filtered out at the moment of injection or inhalation. His body identifies and removes these foreign elements post-haste to keep Levi at peak performance. Interestingly, his body also counts the natural toxins the body produces from physical labor as alien elements and will remove those.
	+ **Agelessness/Decelerated Aging:** Due to his body destroying old cells involuntarily, Levi has effectively, since 1819, stopped aging. For the rest of that century, Levi was physically twenty-seven, but as time caught up, he began to look like a man in his mid-to-late thirties but still moved as if he was in his early twenties. While his body stays semi-consistent with this, his hair does not as it still greys, but after Dakari researched this, he revealed that he won't be bald but will have grey temples and eventually have all grey hair. However, Dakari hypothesized that this wouldn't be an eventuality until well into the next century. Diego Perez and Matthew seemingly confirmed Dakari's hypothesis because they revealed that Levi was the only hero to survive the cataclysm that led to the eventual dark future of Earth-702. He still looked the same as he does now.

* **Retractable Bone Claws:** The thing that Levi is most famous for is his retractable claws. On his hand, he has three retractable bone claws that unsheathe between the three soft spots of the knuckles. They are each a foot long and housed beneath his forearms' muscles and skin. Before the Myrtha infusion, these claws were incredibly sharp, able to pierce human flesh and cut through natural materials, barring all metal. However, after being grafted with Myrtha, these claws are indestructible and dangerously sharpened. These claws can cut through any material on Earth, including Myrtha, but the notable exception is Vibranium. Levi cannot cut Vibranium but can damage it or scratch it.

* **Superhuman Critical Senses:** Whether or not this is an off-shoot of his regenerative healing factor or a separate ability altogether is mainly unknown. Regardless, Levi's sense have become enhanced to levels that are considered uncanny. His hearing is so fine-tuned that he can hear sounds at a far greater distance than those around him, reaching half a mile in any direction relative to him. His sight has equally been boosted, allowing Levi to notice small details in complex situations such as cars and people. While he claims that his sight and hearing are the most improved, all of his critical sense has been made superhuman, but to the degree of his sight and hearing.

* **Superhuman Physiology:** Levi's baser athletic capabilities have been heightened to the point that they are considered superhuman, with only one exception being low-level superhuman. The enhancement came from his permanently coated Myrtha-based skeleton, resulting in his more outlandish feats. His strength has heightened to the point that he can lift a maximum of 4 tons before showcasing strain or resistance. Combined with his healing factor, Levi isn't invincible nor impervious to harm; he still feels pain but is more durable than most. His healing factor also adds to his stamina as his body filters out the fatigue toxins, allowing him to exert himself endlessly for days on end, as shown during World War II. However, the one exception considered "low superhuman" is his speed, resulting from the added weight his skeleton now carries. While he is fast, able to keep up with moderately accelerating motorcycles and cars and clear a room in the blink of an eye, he is slower than his contemporaries.

### Weaknesses

* **Beheading:** One of the few ways to properly kill leaving is through beheading. While Myrtha is highly durable against a large portion of materials, it still can be broken or cut. Levi is no exception. If someone were to have a metal that has a greater durability than Myrtha, they could, in theory, behead Levi and kill him. Such as Vibranium and Adamantium.

* **Molten Alkalis:** As Myrtha shares similar properties to Osmium and others, Levi can be killed by molten alkalis. Alkalis are specific chemical elements such as lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium. Suppose any of these are superheated to be considered molten and used on Levi. In that case, it negates his healing factor, and continuous exposure via pouring or submersion will result in his death.

## Paraphernalia

### Equipment

**Wolverine Suit:** While never explicitly worn by Levi, outside of art and images, he possesses several costumes that Howard Stark made for him. They were created out of ballistic vests and other protective materials. Though Levi claims to hate these suits and refuses to put them on, he has kept them out of sentimentality. Though, Shay believes Levi is simply waiting for the right time to wear them.

### Transportation

**1942 Indian Scout 741 "Midcity":** To get around cities, states, and even battlegrounds, Levi owns an 1942 Indian Scout 741. Gifted to him by Bucky Barnes shortly after joining The Invaders, Levi utilizes this motorcycle to maximum efficiency. While he has made alterations to it in his spare time, Levi has primarily kept it the same. It was lost after he was kidnapped by Unit 347 but Levi found it in the 90s and took it, without having his memory. While he still doesn't have his full memory, he remembers that Bucky got it for him.
