There are 2 ways to make Wolverene, neither one is an exact match but you
can get the essence of him. In one he is a Physad and in the other he is
a Cyberzombie. The Physad method is detailed here as I don't think the
Cyberzombie one gets as close.

Using the Point Based Character System and giving him 80 extra Karma
which are used to buy 4 extra Power points these are his stats.

Bod 7 (8) : Str 6 : Quickness 6 : Int 4 : Chr 2 : Wil 6

Edges/Flaws
Quick Healer
Resistace to Toxins
Resistance to Pathogens
Toughness
Combat Monster
Perceptive
Distinctive Style (gotta love that yellow Spandex :-)
Uncouth


He has the following Physad powers:
Improved Sense of Smell 0.25
Isolate Scent 0.25
Mystic Armor (3) 1.50
Improved Body (4) 4.00
Improved Strength (1) 1.00
Rapid Healing (6) 3.00

Then add Beta Grade Titanium Bone Lacing, Retractable Spurs (of course
Dikoated), and 1 level of Reaction Enhancers for a total Essence cost of
1.89. The powers he looses to get this Cyber are 2 levels of Rapid
Healing and 1 Level of Improved Body. His stats end up looking like this

Bod 10 (13) : Str 7 : Qui 6 : Int 4 : Chr 2 : Wil 6
Rea 5 (6) : Ess 4.11 : Magic 4
Impact Armor 4 : Ballistic Armor 1

He Rolls 13 Dice for Damage Resistance Tests and 14 Dice (with TN's
reduced by 2) for Healing Tests. This will not quite replicate his
healing abilities but it is as close as you can come. The drawback is
that you cannot do this as a starting character.
