10 Oldest Mutants In X-Men History

10. Old Man Logan (Wolverine) - 190+ Years

Born in an aristocratic family in Canada during the 1880s, James Howlett was a happy child until his stepfather was murdered by his real dad, Thomas Logan. This trauma triggered James' mutation, causing him to impale his father with his newly sprouted bone claws. Wolverine's start in life was so horrific, you'd safely assume he would never go through anything worse.

Sadly, Logan's life has been marked by nothing but tragedy. After living for over a century, Wolvie has lost more loved ones than probably anyone in the Marvel universe - some by his own hand.

Because the Canadian superhero was born at the turn of the 19th century, that would make him at least 140 years old. But in recent years, the comics have followed Old Man Logan, a Wolverine from a parallel universe that takes place 50 years in the future, meaning he's nearly two centuries old.

After this incarnation of Logan was transported to the regular Marvel universe and timeline, he did everything in his power to stop his apocalyptic future from happening. When he realised he was in a different past, Logan decided to hang around to help the X-Men in their mission for world peace.
