Rose

Rose is a young woman introduced in Wolverine: The Origin, the miniseries that revealed Logan's earliest years. She appears in his childhood, closely connected to the boy who would become Wolverine during the formative, troubled events that first awakened his mutant nature.

Few characters leave such a lasting impression in so few appearances as Rose — introduced in the landmark 2001 miniseries Wolverine: The Origin, the long-awaited story that finally pulled back the curtain on one of Marvel's greatest mysteries. Created by Paul Jenkins, Bill Jemas, and Andy Kubert, Rose stepped onto the page alongside the young Logan and the shadowy figures of his earliest years, making her a genuine piece of comics history from her very first panel. Her presence across Origin, Origin II, and Fantastic Firsts confirms her staying power in Wolverine's foundational mythology, and with a debut issue that ranks among the most significant Marvel releases of the Modern Age, she's a character any serious Wolverine reader will want to know.
