Biography
Ultimate Marvel
Jimmy Hudson was the male Mutant born the son of Wolverine and Magda Lensherr of Earth-1610 in the Multiverse.
After the events of Ultimatum, Wolverine died and the United States government adopted more anti-mutant policies. One night, while drag racing, Jimmy lost control and the car flipped over and exploded. Jimmy survived the explosion and was in severe pain, but he began to rapidly heal. His girlfriend was disgusted by and rebuked him. The following day, Kitty Pryde arrived and handed a box of Wolverine's possessions to Jimmy. The box contained Wolverine's old Canadian dog tag, Timesweek's cover featuring Wolverine and the X-Men, and a lock of Jean Grey's hair. In a holographic message Wolverine appeared before Jimmy. Wolverine told Jimmy he was his son and to forget asking who his birth mother was, not to think about the past and focus on the future, respect the Hudsons for raising him, and learn to live with the choices he had made. Wolverine's final message was that he never regretted having Jimmy as a son. Kitty theorized that Jimmy inherited Wolverine's abilities and encouraged him to try. After focusing hard, his bone claws painfully unsheathed through his knuckles for the first time and Jimmy formed a metallic coating over his claws. After this, he mastered control of his claws. (Ultimate X v1 #1) Jimmy sought out Jean Grey, who was using the alias of Karen Grant. She then proceeded to tag along with Jimmy on his mission to recruit mutants Derek Morgan and Liz Allan to their cause. (Ultimate X v1 #2) At Scotch Plains, New Jersey, Sabretooth surprised Jimmy and attacked him, wanting to kill him as a substitute for Wolverine. Sabertooth nearly landed a fatal blow before Quicksilver pulled him out. For some inexplicable reason, Jimmy could not use his regeneration powers due to Sabertooth's attack. Jean did her best to patch up Jimmy and then went for some help. When Jimmy woke up, his wounds finally healed. However, he was shocked and confused that the Hulk was standing before him. Jean explained she made an arrangement with Banner/Hulk to become their enforcer and also give him some answers, specifically how he was found. Just then, Nick Fury appeared before them. Jean explained to everyone that their group was called the Tomorrow People. Inspired by Wolverine, they were 'Plan B' in the event that the X-Men had fallen. Fury would be their shadow-intel to help them be a step ahead of their pursuers, however, if they were to get caught, they were on their own.
Together with the Young Ultimates, Jimmy and Jean Grey witnessed as S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Triskelion fell at the hands of several heroes who hailed from a parallel universe named Earth-616, in retaliation against S.H.I.E.L.D.'s own attacks on their Earth. This clash of realities was the consequence of a phenomenon known as an incursion which ultimately caused both universes to collapse and come to an end, together with their inhabitants. (Secret Wars v1 #1)
Marvel
During the final moments of the Incursions, both versions of Earth were in close proximity to one another. This resulted in Jimmy, Quicksilver, Mach Two, Guardian and Armor falling to the counterpart world of Earth-616. When the Multiverse was restored, Jimmy and these Mutants came to find themselves stranded on this new world where they suffered from amnesia as a side effect of the transition from one reality to another. (X-Men: Blue v1 #5)
When the Poison Hive invaded Earth, they started forcing Symbiotes to bond with various superhumans so they could subsequently assimilate them. (Venomized v1 #1) When the X-Men assisted the fight against the Hive in Manhattan, Jimmy was bonded to a symbiote. (Venomized v1 #3) He continued fighting, and assisted in the defense of Alchemax Tower when the Hive assaulted the building in the search of Agent Anti-Venom. Jimmy held the line against the Poisons so the mutant students at the facility could flee, and was consumed by a Poison. (Venomized v1 #4) The Poison created from Jimmy's assimilation was one of the few that wasn't killed by the psychic backlash caused by the Poison Queen's death at the hands of Marvel Girl. (Venomized v1 #5) Believing itself to be the last surviving member of the Hive, it dubbed itself Poison and started wandering the world in Jimmy's human form; the Poison's consciousness and Jimmy's fighting for control over their body. Poison was eventually confronted by Jimmy's former teammates as they hoped to bring their fallen friend back, but their altercation was interrupted by Daken, who had been sent by Magneto to kill Poison if the Blue Team could not bring themselves to do so. (X-Men: Blue v1 #29) Jimmy and Poison agreed to work together to avoid being killed and attempted to flee before being forced into a fight by Daken, but their battle was interrupted by the Blue Team. Sensing that Poison contained Jimmy's consciousness alongside that of the alien, Marvel Girl confided in Jimmy about her own experiences during the time she had been consumed by the Hive, letting him leave to give him and Poison the time and space they needed to figure out the duality between the mutant and the alien. (X-Men: Blue v1 #30)
Overview
Personality and attributes
Powers and abilities
Jimmy's mutant powers are similar to those of his father, the Ultimate Wolverine. For instance, he possesses an accelerating healing factor that allows him to regenerate damaged or destroyed tissue in a relatively brief period of time. Like Wolverine, Jimmy possesses a regenerative healing factor. His powers first appeared when Jimmy crashed his car and it exploded. Jimmy climbed out of the wrecked burned and broken, but healed in a matter of moments. While the full extent of his healing factor is unknown, it is possible Jimmy can withstand various wounds, diseases, drugs, and toxins. In addition, his healing factor makes him extremely resistant to telepathic assault, probing, and mindwipes from the likes of powerful telepaths like Jean Grey and Miss Sinister.
Jimmy senses of sight, smell, and hearing are all heightened to some degree of superhuman accuracy. He can see much further and with greater clarity than a normal human, even retaining much of this clarity even in near total darkness. Jimmy's hearing is similarly enhanced, enabling him to detect sounds normal humans cannot and sounds they ordinarily could but at much greater distances. Jimmy's sense of smell is able to recognize people and objects by scent, even if they are well hidden. He can track a target by scent, even if the scent has been greatly eroded by time and weather factors, with an extraordinary degree of success.
He also has his father's retractable bone claws that are housed within his forearms. Although he lacks his father's adamantium-laced skeleton and claws, he has the ability coat them in organic steel, similar to Colossus's mutant ability. While the durability of his claws has yet to be determined, they have proven to be strong enough to seriously damage the savagely-powerful Wendigo and withstand Cyclops's optic blasts. He has inherited Wolverine's famous three claws. His claws are coated in a biological metallic substance in a similar manner to Wolverine's Adamantium and Colossus' flesh-to-steel transmutation. His claws were not bonded with Adamantium like Wolverine, but covered in metallic substance secreted by his body immediately following the first time he protracted his claws. The limits of the durability of his unique claws have yet to be demonstrated.
During the Poison's multiverse invasion of Earth, Jimmy was assimilated by one of the creatures, but seems to have gained control over it as a result of the Hive Queen's death. Jimmy's Poison greatly boosted his natural mutant abilities while possessing other abilities such as wall-crawling, organic webbing generation, and shapeshifting.
