Biography
Abraham Cornelius
He was responsible for overseeing the memory implants on the test subject though was unable to account for the spikes in activity within Logan. During one such test, the subject nearly broke containment with the wranglers having to restrain him once again. The Professor then had Subject X deployed onto the field as part of a test where Weapon X still failed to find a means of adequately controlling him. (Wolverine: Exit Wounds v1 #1)
Since his return, his financial benefactors funded his research with Cornelius seeking to replicate Weapon X and make it perfect according to his vision. To that end, he had agents gather many test subjects where he conditioned their bodies to accept Adamantium and simply required Logan's healing factor. (Death of Wolverine v1 #4)
After learning that Logan lost his healing factor, Dr. Cornelius ordered Major Sharp to kill him but the combatant accidently shattered the protective glass that served as a barrier for Abraham. He quickly fled but activated the machines in order to pump the Adamantium into the test subjects. Wolverine shattered the containers to save them but ended up coating himself in liquid Adamantium but pursued Cornelius to the roof. Abraham was already wounded from glass shrapnel that penetrated his insides and his helicopter pilot abandoned him where he seemingly died as Wolverine was killed as he was encased in a statue of Adamantium as it hardened around him. (Death of Wolverine v1 #4)
