and Wolverine didnt have claws as a kid, originally there were many different ideas of wolverines origin 1 was he was a mutated wolverine, another was he just had gloves etc etc anyhow he's not supposed to have had claws as a kid... the bone claws were his bodys adaptation to having the adamantium in him not something that was there originally

after magneto stripped his adamantium his healing abilities worked much faster (prior to this they were tryiing a storyline in x-men that wolverines healing ability was also something the govt. gave him and not a natural thing)

anyhow they better KEEP Wolverine Canadian and not just have the Facility in Canada -_-

You can buy this book here

It's the definitive origin of Wolverine. He had the claws as bones when he was young. Here are some cover images:

It's been too long since I've read it, but I think (if I recall correctly) that his father had the same bone-claws.

LOL! Well, since he had the bone-claws to begin with, when the guys in the Weapon X program added the adamantium alloy to his bones, they were also added to his (bone) claws, hence the adamantium claws.

His mutant powers: Advanced senses, Healing factor, slow aging (due to healing factor) and the claws.

Here's a site with his background and here's the story of the comic I posted above:

History: In the late 1880's a child by the name of James Howlett was born. As a child James was a frail and sick boy. His allergies didn't allow him to go out and play much. His father had requested that a twelve year old girl be brought to their estate. That girl was named Rose and she was to be a friend and play mate to James. She read to him and looked after him. Along with the grounds keeper's son, Dog, James and Rose were the only children on the hill where the estate was. They had become close friends and played together as much as possible but Dog slowly grew away from them. Dog's father, the grounds keeper was named Thomas Logan, he was an alcoholic and abuse his son.

Over the next few years Dog started to follow in his father footsteps, becoming cruel and heartless. James was given more responsibilities by his father and grandfather. After a big fight, Dog killed James's K-9 companion which resulted in the Logans getting kicked off the Howlett estate.

In a fit of rage and anger Thomas Logan and his son entered the estate armed. They then took Rose hostage and demanded that she take them to the masters' bedroom. There the elder Logan tried to persuade James's mother, Elizabeth, to leave with them. Before they could leave John entered the room and discovered them together. In a rage of hate and dislike Thomas shot John as James walked into the room. Seeing his father shot and killed shocked him so much that it triggered his latent mutant abilities. His claws extended and continued through Thomas.

After his mother shunned him for his unusual abilities he fled the house. Rose followed to see what she could do. She found James outside the house on the ground and cold. She brought him to the barn in order to try and warm him up. Not knowing what to do Rose brought James to his grandfather house. He ended up giving them cash and told them never to come back again.

Rose took James and went to British Columbia looking for a place that they could live in peace. Rose remembered her father talking of quarries in the Northern frontiers and she figured that would be a good place for them to start looking. Making it to a quarry, they met a man named Smitty who was the foreman. That is when Rose gave James the name Logan to hide his true identity.

By the second summer there Logan was providing for both Rose and himself. He had trained himself to be a fine hunter and he also worked hard at the quarry. Smitty even gave him a new job in demolitions. Shortly after that Smitty asked Rose to marry him. The proposal upset Logan but he finally realized that Smitty did indeed love Rose. Logan then helped Smitty get money for tickets away from the quarry.

Before Smitty and Rose could leave Dog showed up. At the request of Logans grandfather he was to kill Logan and Rose for what he believed they did. In the fight that followed Rose tried to break it up but was struck by Logans claws and died. After that, not being able to live among people for what he did he left the camp and went off into the wilderness to live alone.

It wasn't until his first recorded encounter with the Hulk, as an agent of Canada's Department H, that anyone had heard of him or knew that he was interacting with people again.

I guess I was wrong about his dad.

I really wish we had the trailer in QuickTime or something.

I totally agree! I think it was those movies that made it possible for the current Batman retread series (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight) to take place!
