I think the origin of his claws and skeleton was covered in either
the X-Men awhile back or in a very early Alpha Flight.  His Admantium
innards were implanted by the Canadian government, apparently without
his consent.  (At least he was VERY unhappy about it.)  Something I'm
not clear about, though:  Logan mentioned at one time or another that he
had been an assasin for the government.  Was that before or after he
got his claws?  (Maybe it was in Japan?)  None of this has come up in
any recent plots.

A complex character, Logan has (had?) some facinating sides to him that
are rarely seen now.  (Sigh.)  He doesn't even have his old blood lust
any more, preferring to posture and threaten like the rest of the big
bad superfolks.  Bah.
