Biography
Sharp was a male human who lived in the modern age on Earth. At some point, he was noted to had enlisted as a soldier in the U.S. Army's Delta Force until some great tragedy affected his life. (Death of Wolverine: The Weapon X Program v1 #5) Afterwards, Major Sharp went off searching for something in life and came upon the reformed Weapon X project along with its chief scientist Abraham Cornelius. He willingly participated in the experiments that imparted upon him a range of tactical enhancements with the financial backers of the experiments being pleased by Sharp as a proof of concept. (Death of Wolverine v1 #4)
Going through the data, they came to learn of the Wolverine and Experiment 10 by the Weapon X project. Sharp believed that the voice in his head was secretly that of Logan and thus looked through his known associates. Among them was Sabretooth with himself and the other research test subjects seeking him out. Arriving at the scene, the voice in Sharp's head warned him that Sabretooth was a killer and urged him to escape. However, they arrived at the scene and Creed attacked them where he nearly killed all the test subjects. They were only saved by Skel whose enhanced strength allowed him to knock Sabretooth down temporarily allowing for Sharp to threaten to kill him. Sharp then asked him about Logan as he believed that the memories in his mind such as events in Nanking in 1938 were those of Wolverine. However, Creed said that Logan was not in Nanking at the time and stated that whoever's memories that Sharp had inherited that they were not of Wolverine. (Death of Wolverine: The Weapon X Program v1 #3)
After the other subjects were hunted down, Lord Ogun revealed himself, and tried to take control, but failed after Sharp realized Ogun was weak, but decided not to get rid of him as he needed his abilities to rescue the others. After successfully taking down many other subjects, Neuro informed him that they are all disposable, and had a genetic time bomb placed to kill them. The key to stop it was the regenerative healing factor of various previous mutant subjects, the "Wolverines", which they had to find. (Death of Wolverine: The Weapon X Program v1 #5)
After successfully finding and kidnapping the “Wolverines” (Mystique, Daken, Sabretooth, Lady Deathstrike, and X-23), and threatening them with the “control words” that manipulate, sedate or even kill each of them, Shogun, Neuro, Endo, Skel, and Junk teamed-up with them to find the Adamantium-petrified body of Wolverine in the burnt-down Paradise facility, when they encountered and fought the Wrecking Crew, who had been hired by Mr. Sinister to search for the same. When X-23 and Daken found the body, Mr. Sinister appeared, took Wolverine's body, plus an eye and arm from Daken, and left. Apparently, Daken lost his healing factor. (Wolverines v1 #1) On the Changeling ship, Sharp used a regen serum made by Dr. Cornelius that he found in the wreckage to stabilize and save Daken, against Ogun's wishes. When the team started to plan how to retrieve Wolverine's body, Neuro told Sharp that there was another Paradise subject who was the perfect thief and the only one able to help penetrate Mister Sinister's nigh-impenetrable base: Fantomelle. (Wolverines v1 #2)
The team arrived at Fantomelle's place at the time she was being attacked by Siphon, the monster who stole Daken's healing factor. After a brutal fight alongside Skel, Shogun threw a grenade at Siphon, seemingly killing it. Back at the Changeling, while Sharp, Neuro, Fantomelle and her fox Culpepper made plans for the invasion, Fantomelle realized through body language that Sharp was having an internal conversation with Ogun, and warned him that if he trusted him over her inside Mister Sinister's base, it would get him killed. (Wolverines v1 #4)
