After serving in World War II, brothers James Howlett and Victor Creed, presumed dead, survive a bombing and decide to return to America. They learn that their friend Steve Rogers has died and lay low for years. A confrontation with federal officers lands them in solitary until Major William Stryker recruits them for a special team. They join, adopting the codenames "Wolverine" and "Sabertooth," and work alongside an assassin named Lady Deathstrike, Agent Zero, Omega Red, and mercenary Wade Wilson. Over time, James questions their missions and eventually leaves to live a quiet life as a lumberjack named Logan with his girlfriend Kayla Silverfox. Six years later, Stryker and Agent Zero find Logan, informing him that Victor has gone rogue. Logan refuses to help, but Victor murders Kayla, revealing his continued alliance with Stryker. Consumed by rage, Logan confronts and battles his brother but spares him, choosing not to become a monster. He pursues Stryker, who ultimately shoots Logan with an adamantium bullet, erasing his memories. Logan wakes up, confused and amnesiac, discovering his dog tags with the names "Logan" and "Wolverine."
