SPECIAL IMAGE RELEASE - Wolverine '97 (Patreon)

Here is the second in our X-Men '97 tribute!

Action shot of Wolverine in battle. 

I had a lot of fun hand-painting the suits for these renders in Adobe Substance Painter. It is very fun for me to be able to make custom textures for my models!

More SOON!

His past is mostly unknown, but during World War II, he participated in military airdrops with Captain America. Decades later, he was abducted and experimented upon by a covert government unit, who bonded unbreakable adamantium to his skeleton. Initially designated Weapon X (later the name of the entire unit), Howlett was renamed both "Logan" and "Wolverine." Weapon X held him for at least a decade. Supposedly programmed to kill any human he saw, he proved his humanity was intact by saving Nick Fury's life in the Middle East. He grew to hate his captors and also his fellow prisoner, Sabretooth.

Fury eventually helped him escape, and Wolverine became a mercenary, frequently working for Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants. Weapon X constantly pursued him, and on one occasion, he evaded them with the aid of the young adventurer Spider-Man. A year and a half after his escape, Magneto assigned Wolverine to assassinate Charles Xavier, leader of the X-Men. Successfully infiltrating the X-Men, Wolverine delayed his mission in order to romance Marvel Girl. Still, in the succeeding weeks, he embraced Xavier's cause and turned on Magneto, fighting the Brotherhood alongside the X-Men. Soon afterward, Weapon X captured and enslaved most of the X-Men; Wolverine escaped, informed Nick Fury of the abductions, and then allowed himself to be captured in order to lead rescuers to Weapon X's secret base. While Wolverine was drawn into a grudge match with Sabretooth, the Brotherhood of Mutants raided the base, and Fury arrived to kill Wraith and guarantee the X-Men's freedom.
