History

Wolverine[]

Dr. Cornelius, one of the senior scientists for the Weapon X program, Doctor Abraham was employed by the mysterious Professor Thorton. Some time after World War II, Wolverine was taken in by the project and doctor Abraham was assigned with the task of perfecting and using a technique that would bond the indestructible alloy adamantium to human bone cells. This adamantium-bonding process was first created by Lord Dark Wind, but was only put into use after being perfected by doctor Abraham when he succeeded in bonding Wolverine's skeleton with adamantium, after which Wolverine was indoctrinated into the Weapon X assassin program.

Omega Red[]

Years later, Japanese crimelord Matsu'o Tsurayaba and his allies, including former Weapon X scientist Doctor Cornelius, resurrected the Russian super-soldier Omega Red. In order to stabilize his mutant power, Omega Red required the Carbonadium Synthesizer, a device stolen from him by Team X decades earlier. Omega Red captured Wolverine, who had the location of the C-Synthesizer buried in his memory, and several of Wolverine's teammates in the X-Men. Maverick was hired by former Team X liaison Major Arthur Barrington to prevent Omega Red from obtaining the device, and he tracked another former Team X member, Sabretooth, to Omega Red's location. With Maverick's help, the X-Men were able to defeat the villains, and he subsequently killed Cornelius in an act of revenge.

Resurfacing and Death[]

Revealed to be alive, Dr. Cornelius was found by Wolverine, apparently attempting to recreate his project. After covering his own entire, newly mortal body with liquid adamantium, Wolverine killed Doctor Abraham shortly before dying himself.[1]
