Origin (Wolverine)

Plot

To many, Wolverine is Marvel's finest hero -- the best there is at what he does. But of all, he is the most mysterious. Since his introduction in 1975, very few details have come to light regarding Logan's early life. At some point, he was trained as a samurai in Japan and was later recruited for Canada's Weapon X program. Now and forever an X-Man, Logan uses his animal-like senses, advanced healing powers and razor-sharp claws to protect a world that hates and fears mutants.Genetics, environment, divine intervention: what incredible forces created this man -- the world's most perfect killing machine with a heart as big as the great outdoors? At long last, all will be revealed. Set in the late nineteenth century, The Hill focuses on the childhood and adolescence of three characters: James, a cheerful but frail boy; Rose, a beautifully innocent orphan; and Dog, an abused slave. When one begins to manifest mutant powers, their world changes forever and a hero is born.
