Many years ago, a mad genetic scientist named Herbert Edgar Wyndham was conducting his illegal experiments up in Canada. He discovered a way to alter animal DNA in order to create a new breed of humans, just as man has evolved from apes. He even required the DNA of a wolverine and long-dead saber-toothed tiger. The two beings, both dubbed "Wolverine" and "Sabretooth", became part of a series of experiments to make them the perfect lifeforms; such as giving them regenerative healing factors and knowledge of the outside world, history, hunter, tracker, and combat. He favored Wolverine; subjecting him to more special experiments, like giving him long retractable claws coming out of his knuckles and coating his skeleton in a indestructible metal. Wolverine decided he had enough and escaped.
