10 Times Wolverine Went Too Far
2. Murdering His First Girlfriend And His Dad
Logan’s backstory is an incredibly tragic one. The guy has endured centuries of unspeakable hardships. With that being said though, he definitely played a part in making his bad situations even worse.
Long before all the secret government weapons programs, Logan was just James Howlett, living with his parents on a Canadian plantation.
Things however weren’t that simple. Because you see, James was actually the son of their gamekeeper, Thomas Logan. This was known to Thomas’s son Dog, who hated James.
One day, Dog takes his anger out on James’s actual dog, and kills the poor canine. Not satisfied with just that, he also rapes James’s caretaker, the orphan Rose.
This forces James’s dad, John Howlett to kick out both Dog and Thomas. Driven mad with fury, Thomas returns one night and kills John right before James’s very eyes. The fledgling mutant could take no more. His claws emerge and before long, all that was left of Thomas was a shredded up carcass.
Afterwards, James runs away with Rose, before eventually stabbing her too.
