Weapon H - The Hulkverine

After turning on his fellow mercenaries in the field, Clayton Cortez is sold into an experimental project that transforms him into the perfect killing machine: The Hulkverine, Weapon H. Fleeing captivity, attempts to control him, and further attempts at capture Weapon H eventually reunited with his family. Though the evil corporation Roxxon attempted to manipulate him into enacting their will, Weapon H ultimately made out of the ensuing clash with enough money to retire safely with his family. He is periodically pulled back into the superhero business because he’s the best there is at what he does and the strongest there is, but he just wants to be left alone, bub. Weapon H possesses an adamantium skeleton, retractable claws, enhanced physicals, and a potent healing factor. He can enter a Hulk-like form possessing even greater strength and durability, and due to the cocktail of mutant genes in his system may possess powers greater than the Hulk/Wolverine hybrid he was designed to be.
