What are some Brand-New Characters we can add to the Marvel Universe.
What is your opinion?
What if we come up with new characters for the Wolverine Universe along with others.
Maybe Marvel can use these ideas for new stories for these characters.
Here's one. What if we create a female the same age as Logan, and the same powers. However, these two fall in love and have a daughter. An just like Wolverine she went throw the adamantium bonding process. That will be one cool character. And this lady Wolverine, better stay alive for more than seven issues unlike the Native.

There is one character idea I've wanted to see as an antagonist in Wolverine for some time now. Not a super-villain. Not even a villain. Just one good man who believes in justice for all. He's not even important so much for who he is as for what he does: he's a criminal profiler. I've always wondered how Wolverine has "gotten away with murder" - thousands of times over - especially with all the fancy "CSI" technology the police have now. And I've always wanted to see how an FBI profiler would analyze Logan based on crime-scene evidence. At first I was hoping they'd go this direction with Cassie Lathrop of ATF, but she turned into a one night stand and disappeared.
Here's my take on it:
"Whoever Fights Monsters"* Agent Rey Alvarez is a 24-year veteran of the FBI with a background in military intelligence going back to Viet Nam and advanced degrees in criminal justice and psychology. In his career he's profiled both mass murderers and serial killers. Both kill multiple victims, but the mass murderer kills many at one time and then (usually) himself, whereas serial killers murder one at a time with a "cooling-off period" in between over months or years. Now, on the verge of retirement he's determined to solve the biggest unsolved case of his career: the only known example of a "serial mass murderer." He's after the "unsub" (unknown subject) the Bureau named "The Monster" almost three decades ago, because no ordinary man could do that kind of damage and walk away unharmed.
The crime scenes are all over the map (literally) and range from the middle of nowhere, to slums, warehouses, bars and even exclusive clubs and penthouses. What links all the crimes together are the victimology (typically armed, dangerous men between 20-45, mostly with violent criminal records or ties to organized crime,) and the MO (victims are all killed by three very sharp wedge-shaped blades about 9 inches long, wielded both left and right handed, that leave no metallic fragments). Victims are typically killed in groups after putting up a fierce, but futile, struggle. And once the cases go cold (or investigations are ordered dropped) the files have a tendancy to "disappear."
But Agent Alvarez has seen several examples of "The Monster's" work (the first was in Viet Nam) and so he has a unique perspective on the case. Comparisson of evidence from multiple crime scenes indicates a single assailant who has somehow survived every attack and evaded capture for at least three decades (apparently with help from the government). Now Alvarez is putting his career, and his life, on the line to catch the most dangerous killer in history. To to that he has to get inside the mind of "The Monster." And that's the easy part. Because if he does find "The Monster" - what can he do about it?!
*"Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And when you look long into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you." - Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil.

Especially considering the body-count during the "Enemy of the State" and "Agent of SHIELD" arcs, I imagine many of Wolverine's victims may have already have been under investigation for criminal activity in various local jurisdictions. Remember he killed 1200 people after bringng down Gorgon, just to find out where they buried one innocent kid! (Nick Fury even told Kitty Pryde he had to pull a lot of strings to cover that up). Would local cops just say "case closed" or "that's a dead end, let's go investigate something else." Fortunately most of Wolverine's victims aren't people who will be missed or mourned. What I think happens is this: some agency of the federal government (probably multiple agencies like FBI, ATF, NSA or Homeland Security, but also SHIELD) is constantly looking for "Wolverine strikes." They then go in and "take over the investigation," which means they gather as much of the evidence as they can and seal it, then bury the whole incident. There are too many important people (with to many connections and too much to lose) who don't ever want to see Logan stand trial, because they were involved in making him what he is. And they know from experience that killing Logan to silence him permanently doesn't work. And (given recent revelations) I suppose Romulus wouldn't like it if they locked-up his pet project. But a veteran FBI agent, who had the opportunity to be involved in more than one of these "cover-up' operations (without knowing that the evidence he collected would never be passed on to investigators) might be able to see a conspiracy. Wolverine has spent his life fighting for justice, often against the system and outside the law, because he knows "the system" is just a bunch of powerful and often corrupt people. Alvarez has spent his life fighting for justice within the system by enforcing the law. He starts out tracking Wolverine, but the more he learns about Logan, and the cover-up, the more he begins to wonder who the "bad guys" really are. It's a story of two good men with two different perspectives on morality. The problem with this story is that it has the potential to change the status quo for Wolverine. Alvarez would eventually have to confront Wolverine with what he knows, placing Logan in a situation where the right thing to do is to uncover or eliminate the conspirators who have kept him out of the reach of the law. Once that's done, Wolverine could become a wanted man.
