Think you know everything about Wolverine? Think again! The character, shrouded in mystery for decades, possesses a past far more intricate and surprising than most casual fans realize. His story is a tapestry woven with threads of violence, betrayal, and a constant struggle to reconcile his animalistic instincts with his humanity.

For years, the enigma surrounding Wolverine's origins was a major draw for comic book readers. The snippets of his past that were revealed only deepened the mystery. While "Logan" became the name synonymous with the character, the truth, as is often the case with Wolverine, is far more complex. The 2001 miniseries, simply titled "Origin," finally pulled back the curtain, revealing details that would forever alter the perception of this iconic mutant.
