Wolverine's Background

Both Wolverine and Black Widow were members of Weapon X. But after his memories were wiped, Widow helped him escape and they formed a relationship. She helped him rebuild his life and become normal, but when Weapon X found them they went back into action. They were assisted by S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Phil Coulson, who later convinced them both to join S.H.I.E.L.D. They both joined the Special Forces Unit and became very high ranking. Both of them were members of the Avengers when Nick Fury assembled them to defeat Loki and his army of Chitauri. Once that threat was gone, Wolverine was given the assignment to infiltrate HYDRA and gain intel. Logan was hesitant to leave his fiance, but he accepted the mission.
