Background

Wolverine’s life began in Cold Lake, Alberta, Canada, sometime between 1882 and 1885. “Logan” was born James Howlett, the illegitimate son of Elizabeth Howlett (who was married to John Howlett, owner of a large estate) and the Howletts’ grounds-keeper, Thomas Logan. As a boy, James was notably frail and prone to bouts of allergic attacks. He was largely neglected by his mother, who had been institutionalized for a time following the death of her first son, John Jr. James spent most of his early years on the Howlett Estate grounds with two playmates that lived at the estate with him: Rose O’Hara, an Irish girl who was brought in from town to be a companion to young James, and a boy nicknamed “Dog”, Thomas Logan’s son (and James’s half-brother). The children were close friends, but, as they reached adolescence, the abuse inflicted upon Dog warped his mind. Dog made unwanted advances towards Rose, which James reported to his father. In retaliation, Dog killed James’ puppy, leading to the expulsion of Thomas and Dog from the estate.Thomas, in a drunken stupor and armed with a shotgun, invaded the Howlett Estate with his son and attempted to take his former lover Elizabeth with him. John, Sr. attempted to stop him and Thomas shot him in the head, in cold blood. James had just entered the room when this occurred and his mutation finally manifested: bone claws extended from the backs of his hands and he attacked the intruders with uncharacteristic ferocity, killing Thomas and scarring Dog’s face with three claw marks. Already an emotionally disturbed woman since the death of her first son, Elizabeth, completely unhinged, drove James away and took her life immediately afterward with a blast from Thomas’ gun.
James with Rose’s help decided to flee the mansion after Dog told the police that Rose was the one who killed John and Elizabeth. They arrive at a mine where Rose gives false names, calling James incorrectly as “Logan.” The other workers dub the revived Logan “the wolverine” because of his penchant for tenaciously digging and begin to accept him as one of their own due to his incredible work ethic. What they don’t know is that by night, he runs in the wild with a pack of wolves that he is cowed the alpha of. Dog arrives one day, having survived his encounter years ago, still holding a massive grudge against Logan. Logan recognizes his erstwhile friend and accepts his challenge to a brawl to the death. Before Logan can kill Dog, however, Rose tries to pull him away and is inadvertently stabbed through the chest, killing her and leaving Logan to mourn alone.

• Wolverine did not debut in the pages of an X-Men comic; he actually started out as an enemy of the Hulk. Wolverine first appeared in The Incredible Hulk #180, when the Hulk crossed over into Canada, and the two ended up in a three-way battle with the Wendigo. Wolverine was created by Len Wein, who wrote the two issues of The Incredible Hulk where he first appeared. Wolverine would later join the X-Men, where he would achieve mainstream success. He would become a major merchandise seller for Marvel, and appear in numerous cartoons and video games.
• Hugh Jackman has played Wolverine in nine movies to date. The first time he played the role was in the original X-Men movie, which was released seventeen years ago. That is a long time to play any single character, and it is a tribute to Jackman’s professionalism that he never gave up the role, even after some of the terrible entries in the series. It will be a long time before another actor leaves such an impression on the character. While Hugh Jackman is known for playing Wolverine on the big screen, there is another actor who has also played the character on numerous occasions. Steve Blum has played Wolverine in at least twenty different projects, ranging from video games, theme park attractions and various animated series. He has even been nominated for BTVA awards, due to his excellent portrayal of Wolverine.
• While Wolverine has been established as being a mutant, this wasn’t always going to be the case. At one point, Chris Claremont wanted to change his species. Wolverine was going to be an actual wolverine (the animal), that had been genetically altered by the High Evolutionary to resemble a humn. A few subtle clues about his true heritage were mentioned in early issues of Uncanny X-Men. This storyline was denied by Stan Lee himself.

• Wolverine used to be one of the biggest smokers in all of Marvel comics. This was actually unusual, as most superheroes don’t smoke, as their series are usually geared towards being sold to children. Wolverine was often shown smoking cigars in the various X-Men comic books, and later, the movie series. This was kept to the comics & movies, with no smoking being shown in the animated series or video games. It could be argued that it is fine for Wolverine to smoke, as his healing factor would prevent any long term damage.
• Characters from both the DC and Marvel universes once clashed in battle. As that series progressed, there was a moment when both realities joined as one. This lead to the creation of the Amalgam universe, where DC and Marvel characters were fused together. In the Amalgam universe, Wolverine was mixed with Batman, to create a new character, named Dark Claw. His enemy was a fusion of Sabertooth & the Joker, called the Hyena. Dark Claw’s real name was Logan Wayne and his sidekick was the Sparrow (a mixture of Robin and Jubilee). Dark Claw’s backstory was a mixture of both characters – he witnessed his parents being killed by a mugger as a child and was later drafted into the Weapon X program. Batman is so popular that he actually received two different versions in the Amalgam universe. While Dark Claw was a mixture of Batman and Wolverine, there was a separate version for Bruce Wayne. In the Amalgam universe, Bruce Wayne was mixed with Nick Fury. He appeared in a comic called Bruce Wayne, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

• There is a Swedish heavy metal band called Entombed. They formed in 1987 and still tour regularly to this day. In 1993, they released an album called Wolverine Blues, which featured a title track of the same name. The album has nothing to do with the character of Wolverine, nor does the “Wolverine Blues” song. They just liked the name. The story would have ended there, if not for the fact that Entombed’s record label cut a deal with Marvel behind their backs. A new version of Wolverine Blues was released, that was marketed to a more mainstream audience. It had a picture of Wolverine on the cover and came with a small comic inside the case. The songs on the album were also heavily censored for content.

• In Ultimate Spider-Man #66, Peter Parker wakes up inside of Wolverine’s body, with Logan’s mind now within Spider-Man’s body. The two of them have to live out a day in each other’s lives while trying to work out what caused the switch in the first place. Wolverine has to go to all of Peter Parker’s classes in high school, while Spider-Man ends up getting caught by the police, due to intervening in a crime. During the period of time when Wolverine was in Peter Parker’s body, he leers at the cheerleaders who attend Peter’s school and tries to have sex with a teenage Mary Jane. This is all played for laughs and it is not portrayed as creepy in the slightest. It is revealed that the source of the mind switch was Jean Grey.

• Wolverine has had several love interests over the years. The main one is Mariko Yashida, whom Logan first met in Japan. The two fell in love, even though Mariko’s family opposed the relationship. Mariko managed to take control of her clan but was killed by The Hand before Wolverine could save her. Along with Mario, Wolverine has long held a deep attraction to Jean Grey, though that was unrequited. In alternate universes & timelines, Wolverine has been in relationships with women like Mystique, Red Sonja and Storm. One of the most well-known alternate versions of Wolverine appeared in the pages of X-Treme X-Men. This version of the character is bisexual and is in a relationship with Hercules. The two of them kissing in the pages of X-Treme X-Men #10 actually made its way onto several news sites. Hercules is confirmed to be bisexual in the regular Marvel continuity, which has lead to speculation that Wolverine is too.

• When Logan was first announced, many fans assumed that it would be an adaptation of a series called Old Man Logan. This was a story set in an alternate universe, where the villains of the Marvel world all joined together and took over America. Most of the old heroes had died long ago. Wolverine is still around and lives on a farm with his family. He goes on a journey with Hawkeye, in order to earn the rent money he needs to pay to the family of the Hulk. As Old Man Logan progresses, we learn the fate of many of the different heroes. Wolverine refuses to help Hawkeye on several occasions, as he will not unsheathe his claws in battle. The reason Wolverine refuses to use his claws is tied to the fate of the X-Men. When the villains all teamed up to take over the world, the Spider-Man villain known as Mysterio was given the task of dealing with the X-Men. He used his powers of illusion to make Wolverine think that the X-Men were villains, who had invaded the mansion. Wolverine single-handedly murdered the entire team.

• In the X-Men comic books, Wolverine is noticeably shorter than most members of the team. His height has often been a target of insults, from both his friends and enemies. Wolverine has proven on numerous occasions that size doesn’t matter, as he has beaten many of Marvel’s most powerful villains in a fair right. It isn’t just the in-universe characters who love to mock Wolverine’s height. Chris Claremont gave Wolverine a name that was intended to be a joke at his expense. Logan is named after Mount Logan, which is the tallest mountain in Canada. Claremont thought it would be funny to name the shortest member of the X-Men after one of the biggest things in Canada. While most fans love Hugh Jackman’s portrayal of Wolverine, there is no doubt that Jackman does not match the physical characteristics that Logan is known for. Hugh Jackman is over six feet tall, making him a physically imposing figure. We can only hope that the next guy to play Wolverine is the right height, and can help break both Hollywood and society’s stigma towards short men.

• While Hugh Jackman was the first man to be cast as Wolverine in the movies, he was not the original choice to play the character. According to various sources, the first choice to play Wolverine was Dougray Scott. Jackman had to replace him at the last minute, as Scott was working on Mission Impossible 2 and couldn’t get out of it in time in order to do X-Men.
• Wolverine has appeared in most X-Men adaptations, including animated television series, video games, and the live-action 20th Century Fox X-Men film series, in which he is played by Hugh Jackman for 17 years. Troye Sivan portrayed a younger version in the 2009 film X-Men Origins: Wolverine

MAGNETO

Magneto is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, commonly in association with the X-Men.

Publisher: Marvel Comics

First appearance: The X-Men #1 (Sept. 1963)

Created by:
Stan Lee (writer)
Jack Kirby (artist)

Alter ego: Max Eisenhardt

Species: Human mutant

Place of origin: Germany

Team affiliations: Brotherhood of Mutants, X-Men, Hellfire Club, Acolytes, Astonishing Avengers

Notable aliases: Magnus, Erik Lehnsherr,White King(later Grey King) of the Hellfire Club, Michael Xavier, Erik the Red

Abilities

• Magnetism manipulation and generation of magnetic force fields
• Magnetic fields induced flight
• Helmet shields against telepathic attacks

Background

“Magneto” was born Max Eisenhardt in Germany during the 1920’s to a middle class Jewish family. His father, Jakob Eisenhardt, was a World War I veteran and a proud German. The family struggled against discrimination and hardship during the Nazi’s rise to power, the Nuremberg laws, and Kristallnacht. In the early 1930’s, the family fled to Poland, where they were captured during the Nazi invasion and sent to the Warsaw Ghetto. They managed to escape the ghetto, but were captured again. Max’s mother, father, and sister were executed, but Max survived (potentially thanks to an early manifestation of his powers) and was sent to the Auschwitz concentration camp. There, Max became a Sonderkommando, forced to dispose of gas chamber victims. While at the camp, Max was reunited with a girl he had fallen in love with during his school days named Magda. Max and and Magda escaped when Auschwitz was liberated and were soon married. They moved to the Ukrainian city of Vinnytsia, where they started their new lives together. Max adopted the name “Magnus” and Magda gave birth to their daughter who they named Anya. Magnus worked as a carpenter to support the family and for a time they lived happily. One night Magnus was attacked and instinctively lashed out with his mutant powers of magnetism (which had never surfaced before due to a bout of scarlet fever as a child), killing the attackers. Later that evening, he returned home to find his house on fire, with Anya trapped inside. Magnus rushed inside to rescue her but he was too late. Enraged at the death of his beloved daughter, he used his new powers to kill the surrounding mob that started the fire. Magda, terrified of her husband’s strange abilities, fled to the forest and never saw her husband again. Magda made her way to Wundagore Mountain, where she gave birth to twins Pietro and Wanda (who would grew up to be Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, respectively). Magda later disappeared, presumed deceased. During the next few years Magnus had an identity forger named Greg Odekirk create him a new identity, reinventing himself as a gypsy named “Erik Magnus Lehnsherr”. It was while using this identity that he went to Israel to help at a psychiatric hospital. There, he met Professor Charles Xavier. The two became fast friends, playing chess and having intellectual debates about mutation and the future of mankind. When Baron Wolfgang Von Strucker attacked a young patient named Gabrielle Haller, Xavier and Magnus used their powers in order to save her. After the battle, Erik, realizing that his and Xavier’s views were incompatible, left with a cache of hidden Nazi gold, which provided him with the finances to pursue his goals.

Magneto is a friend of Professor X, the leader of the X-Men, but their different philosophies cause a rift in their friendship at times. Magneto’s role in comics has varied from supervillain to antihero to superhero, having served as an occasional ally and even a member of the X-Men at times.

• If you watched 2003’s X2: X-Men United, you witnessed Magneto utilize this ability to break out of his plastic prison. He was able to detect and then siphon enough iron content from a guard’s blood to use as small projectiles. He has used this ability in the comics as well. Magneto once reversed the blood flow in the Avengers’ bodies, causing enough pain to immobilize them. He was able to accomplish this by sensing and manipulating the iron content in their blood. More famously, he once ripped the adamantium from Wolverine’s skeleton. Magneto’s mutant abilities are not limited to metal and magnetism. His body is a conduit and focal point for the entire electromagnetic spectrum. In the comics, whenever he utilizes these abilities, it takes a great toll on him physically. Though tiring as it may be, Magneto can manipulate everything from microwaves, radio waves, x-rays, gamma rays, and ultraviolet rays. He has used these abilities to generate a substantial amount of heat as infrared radiation. He has even used these powers to reflect and divert radiation from a nuclear blast.
• There is some controversy about just how many children Magneto has. It has been confirmed, then denied that he is at least the father of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. Once again, depending on the “universe” that we are talking about and the writer, he could have as many as possibly five children, including one he may have had with Rouge. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are members of Magneto’s Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, but depending on the version you are reading they were also allies with the X-Men. Others that are children of his depending on the universe are Polaris, Plague, Zaladane, Magnus and Charles and Anya Eisenhardt.

• Originally, when Stan Lee was creating the backstory for Professor Xavier and Magneto, he wanted them to actually be brothers. With how they respect, yet attack each other’s opinions and goals, you might think that they were siblings. Magneto and Prof X do not normally try to harm each other directly and, at times, have worked together as partners.
• As extensive as Magneto’s mutant abilities may be, in hand-to-hand he is just as dangerous. He’s not only a skilled strategist and tactician, he is also a veteran. His military background allowed him to receive extensive training in physical combat. Comic book readers have seen him dispatch many an opponent when the situation called for it.
• Visible light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. As such, Magneto can warp it around his body as needed to render himself invisible. Well, not really invisible as some other beings can do, like Sue Storm. He can use his abilities to make it seem like he’s invisible as he did in the Vision and Scarlet Witch mini-series. As long as you can’t see him, it counts. He rarely uses this ability as Magneto prefers flare, dramatics, and to make an entrance.

• Even though he is most often associated with the X-Men, Magneto has battled other superheroes and villains in the past. The first ever screen adaptation of Magneto was, surprisingly, not in an X-Men related form of media. He first appeared in 1978’s The New Fantastic Four. In the episode, “The Menace of Magneto”, the team comes under the control of the Master of Magnetism. Magneto’s reign of terror would not last long, as Reed Richards comes up with a cunning plan to defeat him. He paints a wooden gun silver and pretends that it is beyond Magneto’s control. This plan works amazingly well, as Magneto has a total mental breakdown at the thought of losing his powers.
• If you are aware of Magneto’s backstory (from the films or comics), then you know that he was sent to a Concentration Camp during the World War. It was here that he grew to hate humankind. Much of the motivation for his actions come from this event in his life. This backstory is one of the main reasons that Magneto works so well as a villain. As a child, he witnessed his people murdered for no other reason than that they were different. As an adult, the same thing is happening again, only this time, he has the power to stop it. Would you not do the same in Magneto’s shoes? This key part of Magneto’s motivation was changed in X-Men: Evolution, a cartoon series that was loosely inspired by the X-Men movies. In Evolution, Magneto was saved from a prison camp as a youth by Wolverine and Captain America. A literal team-up between a mutant and the symbol of all that is good in humanity was not enough to stop Magneto from becoming a terrorist.
• Magneto has had a lot of romantic tension with Rogue over the years, despite the fact that he is 30+ years older than her and a mass murdering terrorist. Rogue and Magneto’s relationship was enflamed during a period when they fought against Zaladane in the Savage Land. This arc also popularised the skimpy “Savage Land” outfit for Rogue, which has since become popular with cosplayers. After Magneto returned from his supposed death on Asteroid M and crashed Illyana Rasputin’s funeral, Rogue attacked him with a kiss. It didn’t work, however, as Magneto had too much power for her to steal. Rogue later had a brief relationship with Joseph, who was a younger clone of Magneto. In the Age of Apocalypse timeline, Magneto and Rogue are actually married. They also managed to conceive a child (though it is never mentioned how they accomplished this).

• Magneto is a genius-level polyglot: It means he has mastered numerous languages. Magneto is originally from Germany and his first language is German. As it was widely spoken by European Jews back in the day, he is also fluent in Yiddish, as well as Hebrew. Since his adventures have taken him across the globe, Magneto has also become fluent in a handful of other languages such English, French, Polish, Russian, Arabic, and Ukrainian.His ability to learn and master other languages was depicted once when he encountered an ancient alien library and artifacts. He was able to sit down and decipher the alien writing.
• Those who are familiar with the works of H.P. Lovecraft might know the name of “R’lyeh”. It was first mentioned in The Call of Cthulhu, as a lost city that is hidden underwater in some part of the South Pacific. The city of R’lyeh acts as the prison of the evil god Cthulhu. According to the worshippers of Cthulhu, he will one day awaken and escape from R’lyeh. The city of R’lyeh formed the basis for one of Magneto’s bases. In Uncanny X-Men #147, a shipwrecked Cyclops discovers a mysterious island of alien origin. The architecture on the island contained statues of octopus headed people, much like the description of Cthulhu. Magneto uses this island as a base of operations for a brief story arc before it is never mentioned again. The island was never explicitly referred to as R’lyeh, though the inspiration for its design is clear. This is possibly due to the uncertain public domain status of a lot of H.P. Lovecraft’s work.
• Magneto is known as one of the most formidable adversaries throughout the Marvel Universe. His array of powers and physical abilities put at a level rarely seen. One such ability that has stymied the X-Men on numerous occasions is his resistance to telepathy and mind control. Magneto’s close friend and sometimes-foe, Professor Xavier, has often found it difficult to enter his mind. While most believe Magneto’s resistance is due to his specially-made helmet, it is actually his determined force of will and presence of mind that makes him a hard target. Of course, to save from exerting mental energy, Magneto crafted his helmet to help to defend against mental attacks.

• There have been several attempts at making manga versions of popular Marvel and DC properties. One of these was X-Men Misfits, which followed a teenage Kitty Pryde as she joins the Xavier Academy. In this version of X-Men, the mutant gene has made most of the cast look like members of boy bands. Magneto is no exception to this, as he is presented as a handsome older man, who invites Kitty to the school. In Misfits, Magneto is the Physics teacher at the Xavier academy, though he still maintains some of his attitudes concerning the superiority of mutants.
• Magneto is at his most dangerous when he is angry and when he is angry, he becomes arrogant. If you did him wrong, his plan of revenge will work, or so he thinks. So his greatest weakness is truly his arrogance, as there are many times where his plans do not go smoothly. If his plans always went well, there would be no X-Men and he would rule the planet. All villains must have some weakness or else they are not likeable, for instance, more people like Magneto then Apocalypse since at first glance Apocalypse is really powerful and seemingly undefeatable.
• Despite all his vaunted power, Magneto has been defeated, numerous times. Magneto is one of the most powerful mutants ever, which makes his weaknesses that much more recognizable. Though he is a brilliant strategist he is plagued by paranoia and possibly a subconscious realization that he doesn’t deserve to be victorious. As a child, Magneto was the subject of horrible discrimination and violence. His entire family was killed in the genocide of World War II. This obviously took its toll on the mind of a young child and fueled his hatred of humans. His constant need to feel superior to humans coupled with his unwillingness to see harm come to mutants have often led to his demise.

• Most of Magneto’s appearances across the various forms of X-Men media have attempted to make him somewhat relatable as a villain. He has a motive that has nothing to do with being evil and he has a backstory that explains why he became the way he did.There is one Magneto that is totally irredeemable, however. The version of Magneto that appeared in Ultimate X-Men is one of the most horrific characters in comic book history. In the Ultimatum crossover, Magneto damages the Earth’s magnetic poles in such a way that it causes huge natural disasters across the globe. He then uses Madrox the Multiple Man as an army of suicide bombers. These acts together caused the demise of untold thousands, along with the deaths of many major Ultimate characters. In the end, an alliance of the surviving heroes attacks Magneto’s fortress. He is finally killed by Cyclops, who blows Magneto’s head from his shoulders with a blast of energy.
• Magneto believes in the superiority of mutants. As such, Magneto has devoted much scholarly time to the study and understanding of genetics and mutation. He has become a genius in the field. Many of his genetic experiments have been for the sole purpose of expanding the abilities of mutants so that they may better defend themselves and survive. He created the Savage Land Mutates, who all had some pretty remarkable abilities. Using alien technology, that he had just learned how to use, genetically engineered the super-mutant Alpha. He’s even been able to grant superhuman abilities to ordinary humans through genetic mutation.
• The 2007-2008 Writers Guild of America strike ended up affecting the fate of several TV show and movies. There was going to be a standalone Magneto movie. It would show the events of Magneto’s life, from his days in the Concentration Camps to being saved by Charles Xavier (who was a soldier). He would later be shown hunting the Nazis that fled from justice. Ian McKellen was going to shoot the opening and closing scenes of the film, but a new actor would play him for the rest of the movie. When the Writers Guild Strike began, the Magneto movie was temporarily shelved until it was resolved. In the meantime, X-Men: First Class began to take form. In the end, several of the elements of the solo Magneto movie (the depiction of his early years, the Nazi-hunting) made it into the film. This may have all been for the best, as X-Men: First Class went on to be one of the best films in the franchise.

L to R: Michael Fassbender and Ian McKellen

Ian McKellen portrayed Magneto in a majority of the X-Men film series, while Michael Fassbender portrayed a younger version of the character.
