Hello, I'm an expert in comic book lore, particularly the Marvel Universe. Let's delve into the complex family dynamics of one of its most popular characters, Wolverine.
Wolverine, whose real name is James Howlett and later Logan, has a complicated backstory. The character was created by writer Len Wein and artist John Romita Sr., and first appeared in "The Incredible Hulk" #180 in 1974. Wolverine is known for his animal-like senses, three-clawed retractable claws in each hand (later upgraded to six), a healing factor, and a adamantium-laced skeleton.
Now, regarding Wolverine's brother, there's a bit of a twist in the tale. For many years, it was believed that Sabretooth, whose real name is Victor Creed, was Wolverine's half-brother. They share a similar healing factor and a history of being involved in secret government programs. However, this familial connection was later retconned (a term used in comics to describe a change to previously established facts).
In more recent storylines, specifically the "Origin" series, it was revealed that Wolverine's true biological brother is
Daken. Daken, like Wolverine, possesses a healing factor, retractable claws, and is skilled in combat. Daken was introduced in the "Dark Wolverine" series in 2009, and his existence adds a new layer to the family history of Wolverine.
So, to answer your question: Wolverine's brother is
Daken.
