Summary Content Warning: the following article contains discussions of suicide and suicidal ideation.

Eventually, Thomas Logan grows tired of the Howlett family lording over him. Consumed by jealousy and anger, he takes his son to the mansion one night with a pair of shotguns, hoping to run away with Wolverine's mother Elizabeth Howlett. The attempt goes wrong, and Thomas ends up shooting John in front of his family.

Overcome with grief, Wolverine's mutation activates and his bone claws make their first appearance. He immediately murders Thomas Logan in a blind rage, and while he gets his revenge, this murder is just another part of Wolverine's heartbreaking origin. Unbeknownst to James, his biological father wasn't actually John Howlett. James' father is actually Thomas Logan, who he just murdered. The tragedy doesn't end there though.
