Name: James "Logan" Howlett
Age: Over 150 (appears in his thirties)
Race: Mutant
Title: Weapon X
Bio: Born in the late 1800's, James Howlett first awakened his mutant abilities when his father was killed in front of him. He would serve in five different wars from the Civil War to the Vietnam War, his healing factor maintaining his youth and keeping him alive. He was later taken into the Weapon X Project, had his bones and claws laced with Adamantium, one of the strongest metals in the universe, and his memories erased. He escaped the project and later joined the X-Men, becoming their most iconic member.

Special Attacks:
-Berserker Slash: Wolverine rushes forward and delivers a powerful, X-Shaped slash to the opponent. This move can go behind opponents if they're within range, allowing him to get behind blocks and other defenses.
-Berserker Barrage: Wolverine rushes the opponent, slashing repeatedly. Useful for crossing distances and easy to follow-up.
-Tornado Claw: Wolverine springs into the air, claw extended upward in a shoryuken-style uppercut.
-Berserker Rage: Wolverine unleashes a flurry of stabs with his claws, should the player button-mash any attack button.
-Drill Claw: Wolverine dives forward, spinning like a drill and claws extended, to slam into the opponent. This move can bounce off the opponent and lead to follow-up attacks, as well as have its course altered.
Throws
FORWARD: Wolverine pounces on the opponent, knocking them on their back, then stabs them a few times before hopping off.
BACKWARD: Wolverine stabs the opponent in the gut, lifts them off the ground, then stabs them a few more times before slamming them on the ground behind him.
Super Moves
-Fatal Claw: Wolverine throws out his arms and roars as an X-shaped surge of energy courses from his body, striking the opponent repeatedly. Can be used in midair.
-Berserker Charge: Wolverine snarls "I see red..." and gains a faint, red aura around his body. In this state, his attack and movement speed highly increases, and his healing factor steadily recovers any lost health (he cannot regain it fully)
-Weapon X: Wolverine crosses his arms over his chest, then rushes at the opponent and slashes. If it connects, he'll follow up with a dizzying array of slashes. With one final, feral snarl, he rushes through the opponent, with a single, powerful slash in the shape of an X. The opponent falls to the ground soon after.
FATALITIES:
-Scratching Post: Wolverine slashes the opponent across the chest, causing them to reach up and clutch the wound. Seizing the opportunity, he slashes with his other claws, taking their hands off, leaving bleeding stumps. With one final swipe, he brings his claws straight across the opponent's face, leaving their heads to fall in pieces.
-In the Eyes: Wolverine impales the opponent through the midsection with his claws and as they try to remove him, he pulls back his free fist, unsheathes all but the middle claw and rams the others right through the opponent's eyes, the claws protruding from the back of the opponent's skull. He wrenches them free and the opponent falls to the ground, camera focusing on the damage done to their face.
Intro: Wolverine springs down onto the field, crosses his arms in an "X" style and unsheathes his adamantium claws before he hunches forward, ready for battle.
Outro: Wolverine clashes his claws together to create a few sparks, then sheathes them and turns his back on the enemy, casting a glower over his shoulder.

Theme Song: Wolverine's Theme from "Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3"
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Prologue: The X-Men were among the many superheroes in the Marvel Universe to take notice of the strange portals. One portal, however, appeared right in the Xavier Manor and took its head, Charles Xavier, into its depths. With other X-Men deployed, Wolverine took it on himself to find the Professor and bring him back safe and sound to an institute that desperately needed him. Wolverine arrived in the world of Death Battle and was met with a telepathic message from Xavier himself, who had learned that if Logan fought through the ranks and reached the tower, he would meet him there. Wolverine understood and took off without any hesitation.
Rival Cutscene:
(On the desert outskirt of a nearby city, Wolverine rode in on a motorcycle, pulled it to a halt, then dismounted the vehicle. He had only gone a few paces when a voice sounded in his head.)
Prof. X: Logan, are you doing well?
Wolverine: Yeah, Chuck. Even the toughest guys'll give up if you wear 'em down long enough. (massages a sore shoulder) Still hurts like hell, though.
Prof. X: Glad to hear, but I can't help but feel that there's more to this world than we may have previously believed.
Wolverine: Really? I couldn't tell.
Prof. X: Logan, I really am concerned. I'm detecting memories in your mind that I haven't detected in the past. It seems you had an encounter with someone...and died, too. When we were in our world, you seemed completely unaware of it, but when you set foot in this world, it just awakened.
Wolverine: Yeah. Been wonderin' about that myself.
Prof. X: It truly baffles even me. Whoever is behind this has the potential to ruin lives. All the more reason for you to stop him.
Wolverine: Oh, trust me, Chuck. (looks at his hand as he flexes it into a fist) No need to tell ME that.
(Wolverine suddenly perks up and sniffs the air. On recognizing it, he grits his teeth with a snarl.)
Wolverine: Chuck, I'm picking up signs of someone here...someone I friggin' hate.
Prof. X: I'm detecting thought patterns as well. If it's this person from your memories, I suggest you keep your guard up.
Wolverine: Gotcha.
(Wolverine takes off and, after a few seconds, he senses something, unsheathes his claws, and turns to intercept a strike from a familiar katana wielded by an all-too-familiar cyborg.)
Raiden: Wha-YOU?!
Wolverine: Well, well, if it ain't the snow-white tinman...
(The two separate and Wolverine takes a swipe at Raiden, missing him as Raiden performs a backflip, lands on his feet, and takes another sword stance.)
Raiden: How the hell did you grow your head back?
Wolverine: Not seein' how that's your business, bub!
(The two lunge at each other, Raiden's blade creating a huge gash in Wolverine's gut while Wolverine's claws catch Raiden on the shoulder. Raiden doesn't appear to mind, while Wolverine's own wound quickly heals over.)
Raiden: Right...it's all coming back. Gotta go for your head or we'll be at this for some time.
Wolverine: Yeah. Good luck pulling THAT off again, princess. (sharpens claws) Now come on!
(Wolverine hunches forward, ready to spring, while Raiden angles his HF katana up and at an angle. Fade to black.)
Ending: Successful in defeating the Mastermind of Death Battle and returning Xavier to the Institute, Logan decided to take it easy. After fighting so many foes, he decided that he deserved a bit of luxury and booze. Finding a good tavern, a cold beer in hand and his feet propped up on the table, he had it good...until it was revealed that it was a common gathering ground for bounty hunters across the multiverse from Boba Fett to Lobo. A barfight seemed inevitable, but Logan didn't mind...he'd live through the worst of it.
