Wolverine

"I'm the best there is at what I do, but what I do best isn't very nice..."

- Wolverine

James "Logan" Howlett, AKA Wolverine, is an anti-hero from Marvel Comics. He appeared in the 52nd Death Battle, Wolverine VS Raiden, where he fought against Raiden from the Metal Gear series. He was voiced by Xander Mobus.

History
Born in the 1800's, Wolverine's 100+ year life has been filled with love, misery, and death. Having been experimented on by the Weapon X program, which coated his bones in adamantium and nearly erased all of his memories, Wolverine has spent years trying to piece it all together.

After fighting The Hulk, Wolverine decided to join the X-Men, where he battled for the dream that humans and mutants could co-exist in peace. Wolverine has also been a member of the Avengers as well.

 * He's the third combatant to be voiced by Xander Mobus, the first two being Lion-O and RoboCop, with the fourth being Agumon.
 * Wolverine is the ninth Marvel character in Death Battle, after Rogue, Thor, Spider-Man, Captain America, Deadpool, Iron Man, Beast and Doctor Doom, and with the following 11 being Hawkeye, Quicksilver, The Hulk, Venom, Captain Marvel, Silver Samurai, Spider-Man 2099, Black Panther, Doctor Strange, Carnage and Daredevil.

 * He is the fourth Marvel character to fight against a non-DC character, after Thor, Beast and Doctor Doom, and with the following four being Deadpool, Captain Marvel, Silver Samurai and Carnage.
 * Wolverine's 3D model is from the Deadpool video game.
 * According to Death Battle Live, Xander's Wolverine voice was influenced by Cal Dodd's interpretation from the 90s cartoon. Like Deadpool, the fight also had some dialogue from Wolverine's UMvC3 voice actor, Steve Blum.
 * According to Death Battle Live, Wolverine had been planned to appear since the beginning of Death Battle but Ben and Chad couldn't decide who he should fight until Torrian came to the decision that he should fight Raiden.
 * They also brought up that other suggested combatants for Wolverine by fans had been Baraka (Mortal Kombat), Vega (Street Fighter), Freddy Krueger (Nightmare on Elm Street), and The Shredder (TMNT), but unlike Raiden, none of those four would've stood a chance against Wolverine.
 * Surprisingly enough one of his rejected opponents (that being The Shredder) has appeared in a later episode facing off against one of Wolverine's arch-enemies (that being Silver Samurai).
 * Wolverine is the second combatant whose introduction before the Death Battle featured only one of the hosts (in this case Boomstick, due to Ben Singer falling sick), the first being Ragna the Bloodedge, and the next two being Deadpool and Naruto Uzumaki.
 * Wolverine is the second Death Battle loser to win in DBX after Ryu and with the next seven being Cloud Strife, Mega Man, Darth Vader, Chun-Li, Thor, The Hulk and Jotaro Kujo.
 * He is the first Death Battle loser to defeat another one in DBX, being followed by Mega Man, Chun-Li and Thor.
