Thomas Logan is an abusive father who beats his son, nicknamed Dog, with the slightest provocation. This is mainly due to his addiction to alcohol. He is the Howlett's groundskeeper. It is also found out that he is having an affair with Elizabeth Howlett. It is strongly implied that Logan is the father of James Howlett who eventually becomes better known as Wolverine.

After a few mishaps involving Dog, John Howlett fires Thomas Logan. Thomas then breaks in to the Howlett's home and tries to convince Elizabeth to run away with him. John interrupts, and the two begin to fight. Thomas shoots John in the head. James sees it and kills Thomas.

Quote:

 

Thomas Logan lived in Alberta, Canada during the late 19th century. He was the groundskeeper for the Howlett estate, but was also an alcoholic, and was short-tempered. He was the father of "Dog" Logan. His exact date of birth is unknown.

He was an abusive, alcoholic father who beat his own son and introduced the boy to alcohol. He had a violent temper, a mean disposition, and flew into uncontrollable rages.

He was kicked off of the Howlett estate for failing to control his son. Afterward, Thomas returned, armed and alongside Dog, and killed his former employer John Howlett Jr. He was in turn killed by James Howlett when the youth drove his newly manifested bone claws into Thomas's chest. James Howlett killed Thomas Logan to defend himself and his mother from Thomas who was drunk, armed, and had already committed murder.

I want Thomas Logan to be Wolverine's father. I hope the writers at Marvel will stop messing around and confirm this. I think they went a long to in doing so with Wolverine: The End. But still, many sources site John Howlett as Wolverine's father. I hate the name Howlett because it is so corny. HOWL LIKE WOLF Paul Jenkins!

I believe Logan blood runs though Wolverine's veins, not Howlett blood.

I think Thomas Logan is the biological father, but in terms of teaching Logan how to be a person the credit goes to John Howlett.

I just wish Marvel would confirm this and make it cannon. For instance, in Wolverine: Inside the Living Weapon hardcover under five things you should know about Wolverine... "1. Wolverine's real name is James Howlett, NOT Logan, which was an alias he adopted after fleeing his family home. Thomas Logan was the groundskeeper on the Howlett estate in Alberta, Canada."

It always bugged me too that Rose would tell Smity that Wolvie's name is Logan, considering the fact that she and little James were trying to lay low and separate themselves from the violent situation they just fled. That is unless she knew that Thomas Logan was James' father and not John Howlett.

I think they will in the Wolverine in hell arc. Its clearly Thomas Logan talking to Puck. In the preview for issue 4 there is a flashback of Logan killing Thomas and they (Thomas and the mystery guy are wearing the same clothing.

edit. Looked at the page again and it is confirmed in the preview. Logan states that the man he thought was his father wasn't and the man that was was the first person he ever killed.
