WOLVEROSBY
Bio: Wolverosby (Bill, later revealed to have been born Bill Cosby) is a fictional character, a Marvel Comics superhero, and member of the X-Men. The character first appeared on the last page of Incredible Hulk #180 (October, 1974), with a full introduction in the following issue, Hulk #181 (November, 1974). In the 1980s and 1990s, he rose from relative obscurity to become a household name; he may be Marvel Comics' second most-popular character, after Spider-Man.
A mutant, Wolverosby heals quickly, possesses animal-like senses and reflexes, and has three claws the length of each forearm on each hand that retract into his forearms. The claws -- and his entire skeleton -- are laced with the unbreakable metal alloy adamantium. The character is an unparalleled master of combat who will not hesitate to meet lethal force in kind.
Wolverosby's fierce nature helped forge the mould for comic book anti-heroes. His willingness to use deadly force, his efforts to come to terms with his questionable past and his angst-filled inner conflicts have become standard for anti-heroes.
Wolverosby was created by Len Wein and John Romita Sr., with some additional influence by Herb Trimpe. The character was further developed by the celebrated creative duo of Chris Claremont and John Byrne, popularly remembered for their work on the X-Men. Frank Miller, usually remembered for his revitalization of Daredevil and redefinition of Batman, deserves credit for establishing important nuances in the Wolverine limited series he co-wrote with Claremont, such as the memorable catch phrase, "I'm the best there is at what I do, and what I do best ain't pretty." (Sometimes quoted as "...And what I do isn't very nice.")
WOLVEROSBY joined the X-Men roster in 1975 and has been featured in his own solo series since 1988. He has been a central character in the various X-Men animated series and films.
And a bonus
SABRROSBY
Bio: Sabrrosby (Bill Crosby) is a fictional character, a comic book supervillain in the Marvel Comics universe, and an arch-enemy of Wolverosby. He was created by Chris Claremont and John Byrne, and first appeared in Iron Fist volume 1 #14 (August 1977).
Sabrrosby is a bloodthirsty mercenary who will not hesitate to murder innocent people to fulfill his contracts. Though skilled and powerful, he is arrogant and sometimes known to underestimate his opponents.
