Jackman's cinematic Wolverine is even older than his comic book counterpart, with the prologue of X-Men Origins: Wolverine revealing him to be born in and first learning of his mutant powers in after he kills Thomas Logan. Alongside his half-brother Victor Creed, who would eventually become the villainous Sabretooth, the two are seen fighting in the American Civil War, both World Wars and in Vietnam.
In the interim, Logan is glimpsed in during X-Men: First Class , technically at the age of years old. In the final days of the Vietnam War, the two are recruited by William Stryker into his black ops outfit Team X before Logan quits due to the team's disregard for human life. Before linking up with Weapon X to gain his adamantium-laced skeleton and claws, Logan is possessed by himself from an alternate future in to change history during the events of Days of Future Past ; his body is years old at the time.
In the original timeline, Logan went into Weapon X six years after quitting Team X but, in the altered time seen in Apocalypse , he enters Weapon X in before he is freed by Jean Grey; he is years old. Jimmy Howlett's father is not John Howlett, it's the man who kills him: Thomas Logan, the family groundskeeper. In a rage, Jimmy attacks and kills his real father with his recently revealed adamantium claws.
His mother throws him out, more for the mutation than the murder. Out on his own but for Thomas's legitimate son and his own half-brother Victor, Jimmy adopts the name Logan.
So to figure out Wolverine's current age, all you need is the date when Logan is meant to take place. Director James Mangold told ComicBook. The director chose the near-ish future as the movie's setting for a practical storytelling reason. Truly, the state of the American education system in full view. Pretty sure the OP is making a joke there. At least, I hope so. I mean, technically Wolverine IS somewhere between 50 and years old He's as old as his tongue, and a little older than his teeth.

The wiki article you've linked says that "Wolverine's life began in Cold Lake, Alberta, Canada, sometime between and , a couple of weeks before the 19th of April.
Something seems off. Edlothiad Superman Superman 1 1 silver badge 2 2 bronze badges. The Old Man Logan story takes place over 50 years in the future. Logan then gave the C-Synthesizer to Maverick telling him that despite the fact that he didn't remember everything about his past, he had a vague recollection that it must belong to him.
Logan then disappeared and was left with more questions than answers about his own memories. After receiving a call from Jubilee, Logan quickly headed to Japan with Gambit to whom Logan owed money after a recent poker game , but unfortunately because of his adamantium skeleton he was stuck in Los Angeles airport security. After putting a call to S.
After landing in Japan, Wolverine and Gambit were attacked by and managed to defeat the Hand, but as a contingency plan Matsu'o Tsurayaba bailed Jubilee out of jail and kidnapped her. Jubilee met the assassin Reiko who had been blinded by the Hand and tasked with killing her.
In exchange Reiko was promised her sight back, but after Jubilee mentioned that she knew Logan, Reiko let her go as she was indebted to Logan. Logan and Gambit finally arrived at the police station, but were attacked by Cylla and several ninjas sent by Matsu'o Tsurayaba. Thanks to the help of Sunfire, they were able to defeat them but Cylla managed to escape. Shortly after Jubilee was found by Yukio who took her to her place while Reiko was promised amnesty with the Hand by Silver Fox in exchange for her help.
After the fight at the police station, Logan and Gambit headed to the house of the Yashida Family and discovered that the Clan Yashida was embroiled in an internal dispute.
Along the way Mariko gave Logan his old brown costume and he fought against Cylla again, this time defeating her. Unfortunately, both Silver Fox and Matsu'o formed an alliance and used Reiko to trick Mariko into being poisoned.
After realizing who Mariko was to Logan and what she had done to his love, Reiko killed herself. Faced with a slow and painful death, Mariko asked Wolverine to end her life quickly and mercifully. A heartbroken Logan reluctantly complied. After the death of the woman he loved, Logan spent the next few days sitting at her grave, even in the rain despite Gambit and Jubilee's protests. After experiencing this memory, Logan agreed to leave but on the way to the airport he caught Matsu'o's scent, quickly changing into his costume to face him.
Wolverine then vowed to Matsu'o that he would slice off a part of his body on the anniversary of Mariko's death until there was nothing left of him. After his recent adventure in Windsor, his encounter with Omega Red, and after having experienced yet another flashback after hearing the word "wraith," Logan decided to investigate his past with Team X.
He finally found his old teammate John Wraith who triggered several of Logan's memories thanks to a Shiva 's head and revealed to him that he managed to capture Sabretooth. Wraith's fears proved to be true as one of the members of the team named Mastodon died in front of them after the reversal of his "age suppression" factor. After being joined by Carol Hines in his quest, Logan discovered that Silver Fox was still alive, [] and to his surprise Silver Fox despised him for something she believed he had done.
Psi-Borg overwhelmed them with his illusions, resulting in Carol Hine's death from a heart attack, and Silver Fox's death at the hands of Sabretooth.
Sabretooth and Ferro both escaped afterwards. Nick Fury and John Wraith decided to help Logan and revealed to him that some of his memories of Silver Fox were real, as they brought Logan to their old cabin in Canada. He decided to bury her in this place next to the cabin where they used to live. His investigation into his missing memories leading nowhere, Logan rejoined the X-Men just when Magneto unleashed an electromagnetic pulse across the Earth killing thousands of innocent people. Xavier and the X-Men decided to infiltrate his space station in order to stop him once and for all.
Unfortunately for the X-Men, the fight didn't go as planned, and as Magneto was about to kill Quicksilver , Wolverine intervened, slashing him with his claws and saving Pietro's life. Wolverine's adamantium is removed by Magneto. Magneto fell to his knees but quickly retaliated, using his powers to tear the adamantium out of Wolverine's skeleton, causing extensive injuries which almost killed Wolverine. As a result of his injuries and the loss of his healing factor, Logan left the X-Men for a time.
After he quit the X-Men, Wolverine traveled all around the world for a while, coming to terms with the loss of his adamantium and healing factor [] and facing some of his greatest foes along the way such as Lady Deathstrike, [] Bloodscream, [] and Cyber. Soon after, Logan encountered the mercenary known as Deadpool and was almost killed during their fight.
But fortunately, his healing factor finally returned stronger than ever to save him. Logan snapped and thrust one of his claws into Sabretooth's brain, almost killing him.
Wolverine's victory against Sabretooth came at price as Logan could feel his feral nature slowly taking over, and as a result he decided to live in the woods for a while. Logan stayed in his state for a while but with the help of Elektra Natchios , Stick , and his friends, he was able to regain his sanity and he slowly revert back to his original physical appearance.
Later, during a space adventure with the X-Men, [] Logan was subsequently kidnapped by the would-be conqueror Apocalypse and replaced by one of the Skrulls who infiltrated the X-Men. Knowing that he might be able to resist Apocalypse's programming and that Sabretooth would be a very dangerous villain with the support of Apocalypse, Logan fought and defeated his nemesis.
As a result, Apocalypse succeeded where Genesis had failed, rebonding adamantium to Wolverine's skeleton. Meanwhile, the skrull that replaced him tried to create a rift between the X-Men and their mentor, but was slain by the real Wolverine under Apocalypse's orders. After discovering that their teammate had been a Skrull, the X-Men found out that the real Wolverine was Apocalypse's horseman and decided to help him.
After rejoining the X-Men, Logan started to have more and more flashbacks to his past and was soon confronted by a serial killer named Mister X , the immortal Mauvais , a new Weapon X program held by Malcolm Colcord , [] Ogun, [] and Sabretooth. The reason Logan couldn't remember his past was because of his own healing factor removing his most traumatic memories. After this revelation, Sabretooth killed Wolverine.
Logan's soul went to the afterlife where he was welcomed by the spirit of Rose O'Hara who revealed several things to him about his long life, most notably how he coped with pain, but because of his missing memories Logan didn't recognize her and he thought she was Jean Grey.
While almost ready to let go of the pains of life and make peace with himself in order to learn the truth about his origins, Wolverine was attacked by several deceased villains who wanted revenge. Logan decided that he didn't want to let go of the pain just yet and decided to fight all of them one last time, as he was overwhelmed, someone intervened and helped him: his deceased friend Colossus.
Happy to see his friend back, they both managed to defeat all the villains, but Logan's choice had a big consequence: his will to fight reignited his healing factor and his soul returned to his body, but before leaving Rose told him one last thing: "I'm not Jean.
Back in the land of the living, Logan made his way to the X-Mansion and discovered that Amiko was alive, saved by the Weapon X project and Colcord to make up for what Creed did. But this near death experience would have big consequences on Logan, leading him to have nightmares and an obsession with discovering the true identity of the dead red headed woman.
Not long after, Jean Grey and the Professor Xavier went to Paris and met a strange character named Fantomex who revealed several truths about the Weapon X project, most notably that Weapon X meant "Weapon 10" all along and that the Weapon X program was just a part of the Weapon Plus program which created several living weapons through the years.
It was also revealed that the latest weapons were created in the World , a self-contained research facility built by Weapon Plus somewhere in rural England.
Logan survived and was rescued by Jean Grey, but after they returned to earth Jean was killed by Xorn leaving the X-Men heartbroken and prompting Wolverine to behead Xorn to avenge her. It was during this period that Logan discovered that his friend Colossus had been brought back to life by the alien warrior Ord. Some time later Wolverine received a strange letter from Sarah Kinney telling him that a young female clone of him named Laura and codenamed X was created and used to commit several assassinations around the world.
Shortly after, X tracked Logan to the X-Mansion, Logan detected her scent and led her to a quiet place where they wouldn't be disturbed. Logan tried to reason with Laura, but Laura attacked him and almost killed him, but before she could deal a fatal blow, Logan used the opportunity to calm her down, breaking through Laura's conditioning in order to help her.
After talking to her and telling her that he would help her, Logan and Laura were attacked by the S. Captain America with the help of Daredevil discovered that Laura wasn't in control of her actions so he decided to let her go. He told her to go find Logan and the X-Men, but unfortunately Laura didn't listen to Steve's advice and decided to disappear for a while.
Some time after, Wolverine and the X-Men were investigating several murders cases committed in New York. After examining the dead bodies, Logan and Ororo discovered several slashes similar to those left by Logan's adamantium claws. Their investigation led them to a super-being themed nightclub called the "Wannabees.
Laura attacked Logan again but this time he easily subdued her. After clearing the misunderstanding, she helped the X-Men and Logan brought her to the Xavier Institute, although Logan made a deal with Laura and decided to hide the fact that he knew her origin in order to protect her.
Sometime later, a young boy named Rikuto was kidnapped and in order to deal with the kidnapper the parents of the boy Ichiro who was Mariko's cousin and Fukuko asked for Wolverine's help. It turned out the kidnapping was a setup and Wolverine was ambushed by the Hand and killed by Gorgon who told him that they had already killed Rikuto.
The Hand resurrected Wolverine and Hydra used their technology to transform him into a killing machine that they unleashed aboard a S. Although the fight with Daredevil proved to be decisive, Daredevil managed to impale Wolverine on a sword, creating intense pain which allowed Logan to break through Hydra's mind control long enough to warn Matt that Hydra was planning to kill the President of the United States and that their fight was just a diversion allowing the Hand and Hydra to kill and resurrect Elektra as one of their own, before he was teleported away by Hydra.
Back in the hands of S. Once done, Logan started his quest of revenge and teamed up with Elektra to take down Hydra and the Hand. In the end Logan faced the man who killed him, Gorgon, and was able to defeat him. After defeating Gorgon, Logan disappeared for months, searching for Rikuto's body. After finally finding where the boy was buried, he told his parents the location, saying he was sorry for everything.
While on a mission in the Savage Land , Wolverine met the recently re-formed Avengers and eventually accepted membership as Tony Stark felt that Logan could provide a useful perspective to the team.
As a result of the House of M , during which Scarlet Witch altered Earth's reality and then restored it, Wolverine regained all of his memories due to Wanda attempting to give all the heroes what they most desired, allowing Logan to finally be able to sort between what was true and implanted in his mind.
The Muramasa Blade now in his possession, Logan was ready to start his quest for revenge. With Emma Frost's help, Logan soon discovered that Daken, his son, was alive and was hating him. After meeting his son, [] Logan tried to save him several times, but Daken refused his help, betraying Logan and attempting to kill him several times, even after learning the truth about how Romulus was responsible for everything that happened to him and Logan.
After learning that Daken secretly wanted to kill Romulus just to take his place at the of head of his empire, Logan understood that his son was beyond salvation, so he decided to resume his quest of vengeance against Romulus. In the end, Logan was able to defeat Romulus and with the help of Cloak , trapping Romulus in the Darkforce Dimension , and then defeated Daken and removed his Muramasa claws.
Once done, Logan hid both Daken's claws and the broken Muramasa blade in an unmarked grave near the Howlett Estate, putting an end to Romulus empire and legacy once and for all. But after all these revelations about his past, his son's betrayals, and seeing him join Norman Osborn's Dark Avengers by stealing his codename, Logan started to show signs of a nervous breakdown as pointed out by Yukio and Spider-Man.
Shortly after, Cyclops decided to assemble a new X-Force consisting of Wolverine as team leader, Warpath , Wolfsbane , and X in order to take care of the dirty business the rest of the X-Men wouldn't do normally, including murder. Cyclops decided to add X to the team without consulting Logan first, which angered him since he was trying to have Laura to be more than a killing machine, but despite Logan's protests Laura joined the team.
The team completed several missions and welcomed new members along the way such as Elixir , Domino , and the Vanisher. Shortly after, the team was sent to the future by Cyclops in order to locate and help Cable and Hope against Bishop and Stryfe.
Once in the future, the team managed to defeat Stryfe and protect Hope but Bishop ran away. After this event Wolverine told Cyclops that Laura was out of the team from now on. Cyclops agreed but first he had one more mission for X-Force.
Unfortunately, after X killed a prisoner in front of the X-Men, the news about X-Force broke out and a rift developed between Wolverine and several members of the X-Men, most notably his best friend Nightcrawler.
Before Logan could explain himself to his best friend, Kurt was killed by Bastion while trying to protect Hope and shortly after Bastion unleashed an army of Sentinels from the future which forced X-Force and Cable to go to said future in order to stop the source: Nimrod. Once Nimrod was stopped, Cable sacrificed his life to make sure the team could come back to the present. After all the members of the Human Council were killed, Bastion tried to kill Hope but he was finally defeated.
In the aftermath of the battle, the death of Nightcrawler had a profound effect on Logan, and news of his X-Force team broke his friendship with Ororo. True to his words, Logan removed Laura from the team and told her it was time for her to find her own mission in life and to be more than just a weapon.
Cyclops then ordered Wolverine to disband his X-Force team, but Logan believed that the team was still necessary, so he formed a new X-Force team in secret with Archangel, Psylocke, Fantomex, and Deadpool. After the formation of the new X-Force team, Warren called for X-Force and revealed to Logan that he hired Deadpool it would later be revealed that Wade had worked for Warren for more than a year [] in order to investigate the activities of Clan Akkaba and that Wade had discovered that Apocalypse was going to be reborn in a new body.
Unknown to the team, Clan Akkaba resurrected Apocalypse as a child and was indoctrinating him into resuming his old duties. After this event, Angel lost control of his Archangel personality, and went on a killing spree.
When X-Force returned to their universe, they were attacked by Archangel and the Dark Beast, who took the Life Seed in order to restart evolution. During what seemed to be a routine robbery, Spider-Man and Wolverine were thrown back in time by magical diamonds to the time of the dinosaurs. While Spider-Man secluded himself, Logan befriended a tribe of early humanoids.
His involvement with them allowed them to survive the K-T Extinction Event. When the meteor came, Spidey and Logan found themselves flung into the future, where the extinction of humanity allowed the tribe to dominate the world. But in the future, the world was menaced by Doom the Living Planet and only one thing could defeat him: the Phoenix Gun. This gun could fire one Phoenix Bullet containing the power of the Phoenix Force , capable of destroying anything at the price of the life of the one who fired it.
However, Spider-Man resurrected him with a Cosmic Cube , much to Logan's dismay, the duo was then assaulted by the pair of Czar and Big Murder who sent them through time once again using the diamonds. Logan wound up in a wrestling ring, facing down Peter Parker. He realized that this was before the death of Peter's Uncle Ben. Meanwhile, Spider-Man found himself in a frozen wilderness as a feral Logan was hunted by Dog. They were then transported to Mojoworld ; Mojo had been using Czar and Big Murder to arrange the entire list of shenanigans.
After previously using the Phoenix gun and being resurrected by Spider-Man, the Phoenix Force had stayed within him, and as time passed it grew until Wolverine became the new Dark Phoenix. Fortunately, Spider-Man managed to calm him down, and after Logan told the Phoenix Force to go away, the Phoenix Force seemed to leave him, the duo was then sent back to the American Midwest in the time of the cowboys.
Peter fell in love with a woman named Sara Bailey who had also been transported through time by the diamonds, while Logan became the chief of a Native American tribe. Any diamonds they found appeared to be inert. The Time Variance Authority found them and set the duo and Sara back into their proper point in the timeline with their memories intact except for Sara who didn't retain any memory from this adventure, leaving Spider-Man heartbroken.
A few weeks later, a child was found dead with three claw marks. After stabbing Wraith and covering his body with insects, he burned Wraith's church with the congregation still inside before moving to its next target. In Hell Logan met Satan and was forced to battle several of his deceased foes, most notably what appeared to be Sabretooth. In Hell, Logan discovered that the Silver Samurai had been killed by the Red Right Hand and that the organization was after everybody Logan cared about.
Logan also discovered that Mariko had been condemned to Hell because of her past actions as the head of the Yashida Family. Mariko was then forced by Satan to torture Logan in order to break his spirit while Hellverine managed to get past the X-Men's defense and infiltrated Utopia in order to burn Logan's belongings and kill Kitty Pryde, but he was soon confronted by Colossus.
Back in Hell, after being tortured by Mariko, Logan was crucified on a cross by Satan and met his old friend Puck , who told him to not give up and to keep fighting as all the demons of Hell were watching him. After hearing those words, Logan was able to free himself and started to fight several demons, and then Satan himself. On Utopia, Colossus alongside Kitty, Iceman, and Angel tried to fight Hellverine, but they were overwhelmed by the demon's power.
As Colossus was about to be killed, Melita, Mystique, the Ghost Rider, and Hellstrom captured Hellverine, took him to a church, and began the ritual to bring Logan's soul back to his body. In Hell, Logan was able to make Satan bleed, creating a riot in Hell and allowing him to crucify the Devil with his broken bone claws.
He then met Thomas Logan his biological father , who told him he was proud of him. Logan fought "Sabretooth" once again, and defeated him. He then recovered Satan's sword, "Soulcutter," making him the new King of Hell. With the sword in his possession, Logan was approached once again by Thomas Logan and quickly understood that his father had been lying all along, he only wanted to use him in order to rule in Hell. Logan then decided to throw the sword to the demons and he punched Thomas Logan in the face, and together Logan and Puck decided to escape from Hell.
During their ascent, Logan tried to free Mariko but she refused saying that there was nothing left for her on Earth. She then bid him farewell and told him to remember her as she was before her death and not how he saw her in Hell. Logan and Puck continued upward, but along the way Puck fell, telling Logan to keep going. Thanks to his actions and the Hellstrom's ritual, Logan managed to escape from Hell while Puck recovered the "Soulcutter" sword making him the new King of Hell.
But the demons were still present inside his mind, and as result his body was still under the control of Hellverine. Hellverine almost killed Magneto, Cyclops, Namor , and the rest of the X-Men while Logan was still trying to fight against the demons inside his mind. It took the help of his own memories, Melita, the X-Men, a subconscious projection of Nightcrawler, and what appeared to be a vivid memory of Jean as the White Phoenix telling him to forget revenge and live to burn the demons from his mind completely.
Finally free, Logan didn't listen to what Kurt and Jean told him, and planned to get revenge on Mystique and the Red Right Hand for sending him to Hell. Wolverine quickly found Mystique who tried to talk Logan down in order to explain to him what the Red Right Hand had planned for him, out of respect for his friendship with her son Kurt.
Having enough of her lies she told him in the past and her part in sending him to Hell, he decided to kill her. During their fight, the duo was confronted by Lord Deathstrike who had been hired by the Red Right Hand to kill Mystique in case she might reveal the next phase of their plan, however Lord Deathstrike was defeated by both Mystique and Wolverine and escaped.
Maverick called Logan to tell him that he found the location of the Red Right Hand's base, and Wolverine then resumed his fight with Mystique and killed her. He then headed to the Red Right Hand's base but unknown to him, Mystique's body was recovered shortly after and sold at auction to The Hand resulting in her resurrection some time later. Wolverine invaded the Red Right Hand's base where he was confronted by the Mongrels.
As a result Logan killed most of them, [] [] while the others killed themselves. This revelation and the fact that he killed his own children devastated Logan. After burying the bodies of his children, Logan tried to kill himself and abandoned civilization for what he did. Logan reunited them with their families, he was then confronted by Melita who brought several of his closest friends with her to convince him to come back with them.
Logan agreed and said it was time to go back to work. Unknown to Logan during this tragedy, Daken worked with the Red Right Hand for years, [] [] helping them with their plans to send Wolverine's soul to Hell, but more importantly he was the one who found and gathered all of Logan's children.
He then gave them to the Red Right Hand and convinced the criminal organization to use them against Logan. Daken's goal was to make sure that his father would kill his own children in order to hurt him in the worst way possible.
As result of Quire's actions, Wolverine and Cyclops steadily grew divided about how to handle this situation. Wolverine wished to hand Quire over to Captain America, while Cyclops wished to deal with him within the mutant community. As Logan tried to convince Idie to stay hidden, Cyclops pressured her to act leading to Idie killing a dozen men.
