Allow me to nerd out.
James Howlett was born a mutant having his senses turned up to 11, able to heal freakishly fast from anything, and having bone claws come out of his hands, later William Stryker experimented on him and infused his bones with adamantium, turning his bone claws into razer sharp blades and giving him a new name Logan aka the Wolverine.
