Dog Logan is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Bill Jemas, Paul Jenkins, Joe Quesada, and Andy Kubert, Dog Logan first appeared in the 2001-2002 miniseries ''Origin'', which explored the early years and background of Wolverine, to whom Dog is a half-brother through their biological father, Thomas Logan. ==Fictional character biography== Dog Logan is a servant on the Howlett estate in the late 19th century, located in Alberta, Canada. His father Thomas Logan works as groundskeeper of the Howlett estate. As an adolescent, Dog is the playmate of James Howlett, a sickly boy and the family's youngest son, and Rose, an orphan brought to the estate to look after James. The three children are good friends. At one point, Dog saves James from drowning in a river. However, Dog gets frequent beatings from his abusive alcoholic father for spending time with members of the upper class. Eventually, the abusive treatment causes Dog to behave in abusive and sadistic ways.〔''Origins'' #1〕 As a young teenager, Dog is cruel, sadistic and brash, going so far as to make unwanted sexual advances toward Rose. James, witnessing and foiling a later attempt by Dog to assault Rose sexually, reports the incident to his father John Howlett, Jr.. In retaliation, Dog kills James's dog, resulting in Dog's and Thomas's expulsion from the estate. Enraged, Thomas returns to the Howlett estate later that night with Dog and tells Elizabeth Howlett, James's mentally disturbed mother, that he was leaving and that he plans to take her with him. Thomas and Dog, however, are soon discovered by John Howlett, Jr. as he comes into the bedroom. The two men quickly engage in a heated verbal exchange that culminates with Thomas shooting John Howlett in the head with the shotgun he was carrying. Just when Thomas pulls the trigger, James walks into the room and witnesses his father's death. The trauma of the event triggers James' mutant powers, particularly his bone claws, and he uses them against Thomas and Dog, resulting in Thomas's death and Dog being slashed severely across his face, leaving three large scars. Elizabeth loses her fragile hold on her sanity and screams insults at James, who runs crying from the room and house with Rose pursuing him. Elizabeth kills herself in front of Dog moments later using Thomas' gun. As the only survivor left at the scene when the police arrived, Dog reports that Rose is responsible.〔''Origins'' #3〕 Years later, Dog is hired by John Howlett, Sr. (James's grandfather) to track James. Dog accepted, but with the intention of killing James rather than return him to his dying grandfather. Now fully grown, Dog is large and powerfully built with lightly colored hair.〔''Origins'' #5〕 He eventually tracks James to the mining town where he and Rose have been staying since they ran from the Howlett estate. Dog spends some time in the town, learning James' habits and watches as James and Smitty, the foreman of the camp and James' close friend, participate in a cage fight. James, despite being enraged over Smitty's relationship with Rose, allows Smitty to win the fight. After the fight, Dog suddenly attacks James. During the fight, Dog claims that he is responsible for John Howlett's death (even though Dog's father is actually the one responsible). James manages to defeat Dog and extracts his bone claws, preparing to kill him. However, Rose suddenly arrives. As James prepares to strike, Rose runs into his claws and is fatally wounded. Grief-stricken, James runs from the camp and into the forest, leaving Dog behind.〔''Origins'' #6〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dog Logan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
