The creed brothers are mutants with powers that make them invincible and ferrous fighters as they prove through every major war that American has been involved in. They are eventually recruited by Col. Stryker to join an elite group of mutants with special powers for special jobs. Eventually Logan gets fed up, fights with his brother and leaves the group. Years later, Logan is happily living in Canada when his brother finds him and so does Stryker. This is the story of how Logan becomes Wolverine, his brother Sabretooth and it introduces many other X-Men characters. There is a lot of action with great special effects but little plot and nothing original. Ryan Reynolds stands out as Deadpool but the entire cast is very good. I hope they continue the Origins series with the same level of action and slightly better writing.
