Wolverine
Let me tell you a story ...
The story of Wolverine is so vast that I would need much more space,
though, I will tell you what I have gathered about this man;
he was born in Alberta, Canada in 1832 and named James Howlett,
but, he is really a fictional character of Marvel Comics.
Marvel created a mutant human with superior animal-keen senses,
enhanced physical capabilities and healing regeneration;
and three huge retractable claws and each hand- a ferocious force,
though, he had a brooding nature ... a loner with a temper.
He was born to rich farmers but found out his mother had an affair,
and he was the result- he kills his father and runs away;
ending up mining in the Yukon and changes his name to Logan,
he accidently kills his girlfriend and flees to the wilderness.
There he lives with wolves until he is captured and put in a circus,
he escapes and lives with the Blackfoot people of Canada;
in time, joining the military- held captive and experimented on,
becoming an agent trained by the Canadian government.
But he is unstable, his past murky, and he is difficult to control,
he appears in countless comics, either solo, or with X Men;
X Force, Alpha Flight, Fantastic Four, Avengers and many more,
sadly, he does die from suffocation by a horrible potion.
The potion is a hardening adamantion created by a Dr. Cornellius
Wolverine, Logan, James Howlett dies- kneeling in the sunset;
unknown to him he has a son that he never knew existed,
the son, becomes the new Wolverine of the Ultimate Universe.
Of course, comics tend to change the story ...
