Going to add to this as we learn more, bc it's interesting. The 'lore'/exomemories that Wolverine and Logan have.
I should specify that we as a collective have very little knowledge of the X-Men franchise. Like, we have just watched the first movie for the first time. This isn't unheard-of for us, Eddie was introjected after knowing nothing about him except that tumblr said he was pretty awesome.
Not going to put under a cut until it gets, like, needed (triggering content).
So, the two alters called Wolverine and Logan are the same person, just different ages. Logan said he was an older teen, and Wolverine told me to mind my own business, which I assume means pretty old. Not us having like 3 alters from the MCU now who want people to not look at their ages too closely.
Both consider themselves to be essentially some kind of trans guy, whatever the language. I'm using he/him pronouns for both of them until I am told otherwise. It's also not unheard of for us to introject a cis character as some flavor of trans.
I don't know what year Logan is in, in his exomemories, but it's not this one, that's for sure. He didn't understand really what videogames or Dollar General were. I think his memories are from right after getting his mutant powers unleashed but before any of The Shit with adamantium happened. I think that's mostly because we know very little about the universe, and subconscious says to make do with what we do know.
I watched X2 today, and got more exomemories from them. In these exomemories (I'm guessing it's canon divergent) Hydra was involved in how Logan got the adamantium and turned into Wolverine. The only reason he didn't turn out like The Winter Soldier/Barnes was that they used a less effective memory wipe/brainwashing technique on him.
In their canon, young-ish Logan was blackmailed into agreeing to be basically experimented on by Hydra. Logan was actually born in the mid-1800s, but because of our mutation (pronoun switch because now Logan and I (Wolverine) are telling the story) we stayed pretty young for a long time. I don't remember the exact situation that led to me being blackmailed, but I think I accidentally (?) murdered someone and, by being a mutant, it was automatically something that could be more dangerous if people found out. I think they also found out that I lied on my enlistment for WW1, about where I lived and my sex. I said I was born male when I wasn't. I still don't know what the fuck I am.
So, they made me 'volunteer' for their program. All it was, was a bunch of people in medical gowns trying to see how much I could take before the healing didn't work as well. So you can imagine--I can't remember it clearly, thank fuck, but I don't want to imagine.
Finally, they stopped thinking about how they would make me die and started trying to make me a 'super soldier.' Which it kind of did. It wasn't as good as the one given to others, and I didn't quite stand up to them with how I was back then.
And then, the adamantium.
I regretted every step that I took to alienate myself. I couldn't control the mutation happening at 12. But I could have stopped it there, and then I wouldn't be so different. I wouldn't be so averse to people, and especially doctors, and not be able to be in a relationship ever.
But I have a chance now. To be an actual person. Yes, a person in a body that holds 40+ other people, but it'll be fine, right?
