10 Oldest Mutants In X-Men History

4. Wolverine (Estimated Age 250+)

At this point, James "Logan" Howlett's history has become a running joke. His history is so boned that Marvel have so far published not one but two "Origin" miniseries trying to clear up the backstory of the most popular and possibly one of the oldest X-Men on the block. The important thing to know is that, as seen in the opening montage to X-Men: Origins Wolverine (basically the only part of X-Men: Origins Wolverine worth watching), the canucklehead has fought in basically every major war since the 1800s. He's a veteran multiple times over, and that's before he even got involved with the X-Men.

Born James Howlett to rich farm owners John and Elizabeth Howlett in the late 1880s, and is kind of a total wuss. The cool kids are his pal Dog and his dad, Thomas Logan, who worked on the grounds of their huge house. After getting fired and tossed out onto the street Logan came back and killed James' dad, which caused the poor kid to pop his bone claws for the first time and stick 'em through the guy's chest. His mum got scared, threw him out, and he adopted the Logan name as his own.

From there he fought in both World Wars (during which time he settled in Japan and teamed up with Captain America), hooked up with the Canadian government's shady Weapon X program and got all those weird adamantium skeleton experiments done on him. All the stuff that's happened in Wolverine's long life, you have to think maybe he's looking forward to a bit of a dirt nap.

Also a little insulting to Hugh Jackman they think he'd be good as an 120-year-old.
