Fictional character biography
Abraham Cornelius, one of the senior scientists for Weapon X, is employed by Professor Andre Thorton and partnered with Carol Hines. Sometime after World War II, Logan is taken in by the project and Cornelius is assigned with perfecting a technique that bonds the indestructible alloy adamantium to human bone cells. Cornelius uses this to bond Logan's skeleton with adamantium, after which Logan is indoctrinated into the Weapon X assassin program. [1] [2] [3]
Years later, Cornelius and Japanese crime lord Matsu'o Tsurayaba resurrect the Russian super-soldier Omega Red. In order to stabilize his mutant power, Omega Red requires the Carbonadium Synthesizer, a device stolen by Team X decades earlier. Omega Red captures Wolverine, who knew the location of the Synthesizer, and several of Wolverine's teammates in the X-Men. Maverick is hired by former Team X liaison Arthur Barrington to prevent Omega Red from obtaining the device, and he tracks another former Team X member, Sabretooth, to Omega Red's location. With Maverick's help, the X-Men are able to defeat the villains. In the final confrontation between the Hand and Wolverine, Cornelius is apparently killed by Maverick. [4]
In the "Death of Wolverine" storyline, Abraham Cornelius resurfaces and places a bounty on Wolverine. [5] Wolverine later tracks down Cornelius. After defeating Cornelius' latest experiment, Wolverine slashes the adamantium container before it can be infected with Cornelius' chemicals and is covered in adamantium. Wolverine then kills Cornelius before suffocating in the adamantium and dying. [6] [3] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]
