Which superhero had the saddest start in life?
Nearly every hero has a sad background, but here are the top three heartbreaking beginnings:
3. Coming in number three is Rocket Racoon. He was tortured and was ripped apart, then put back together again. He was just a science experiment to some, not treated as a living creature, which is very sad. He is an intelligent being, expert marksman, superb pilot, and master tactician, but his beginnings in Halfworld, an abandoned colony for the mentally ill where animals were genetically manipulated, are tragic, but fortunately he was able to free himself and rescue the rest of the animals on the forsaken planet.
2. In the runner-up spot, this was hard to choose, but it goes to Deadpool. He was already a mercenary but then he signed up to take part in a science experiment to cure his cancer, instead he got bestowed with a regenerative healing factor that bonded to his cancer during the Weapon X experiments. Twisted scientist, Ajax, experimented on Wade Wilson until he became disfigured.
1. Talking about Weapon X, Wolverine is the saddest superhero story ever. Born as James Howlett, his fateful life began in Cold Lake, Alberta, Canada around 1882. As a young boy, he was frail and suffered from allergies and illnesses, and sadly neglected by his mother, Elizabeth. His father, John, brought an Irish girl, Rose, from town to be a companion to James. He also spent time playing with his half-brother, Dog, who became twisted and killed his puppy after suffering years of abuse at the hands of his father, Thomas Logan, who broke into their house to kill his father John by shooting him in the head with a shotgun. Young James witnessed this cold-blooded murder and that's the moment his mutation manifested when bone claws ripped through his hands, which he instantly used to kill the intruder and scarring his son Dog's face with three claw marks as well. His mother disowned him then took her own life. James and Rose fled to start a new life together, but changed his name to Logan to hide his true identity.
He earned the nickname “Wolverine” after taking part in unlicensed fights for money. During an attack from the vengeful Dog, Logan accidentally killed Rose with his claws, then ran into the forest to escape. His mind completely shut down and he lost all his memories, becoming a feral beast and living amongst wolves.
He fell in love again, with a young Blackfoot Indian woman named Silver Fox, but she was killed by Sabretooth on Logan's birthday. He was then tricked into believing the people of a nearby town had caused his love's death, so he slaughtered the entire inhabitants of the town.
In the years that followed, he became a mercenary, assassin, outlaw, and took part in every major conflict on Earth, including World War II where he fought beside Captain America.
He fell in love again, with a woman named Itsu, and had a child together, filling his heart with joy, but she was murdered by the Winter Soldier and the unborn child taken away from him secretly.
After that, Weapon X caught him and experimented on him, turning his bones into adamantium. Eventually he broke free from his captors and killed everyone there. Then, he joined the X-Men.
His tragic life has been filled with death and grief since he was just a frail little boy.
An honourable mention is DC's Batman since he was just 10-tears-old when his loving parents were shot down in front of him. He was then brought up by his butler, Alfred.
