James Howlett was born in 1882 to esteemed farm owners. He grew up a sickly child with few friends, but his mutant abilities kicked in after the death of his father. He fled, and was soon picked up by a group called Team X, who gave him false memories and laced his skeleton with adamantium, turning him into Weapon X, the perfect soldier. He was eventually discovered by an old couple who cared for him after he escaped the program, and he was then found by the leader of the X-Men, Professor Xavier. Since then, he was been a prominent X-Man, and a leader in his own right.
Wolverine is another one of my favourite characters because he is not really a willing hero, but more of an anti-hero. He protects humanity because of his loyalty to the X-Men, but he also has a dark side, and is unpredictable. On many occasions, he has turned against the X-Men, and it is this changeability, and his strong depth of character, that makes him an interesting and worthwhile character.
