History
Bad shit happens to people I care about...

Ultron Revolution
Before the years of Ultron Revolution, Wolverine seemed to have the same history with his Earth-61615 counterpart, until Ultron started an all-out war against humans and those who dares to oppose him and his ideologies. During the events Ultron Revolution, Logan became one of the only few known mutants who have survived the Mutant War against the "Ultron Sentinels," Sentinels that were created and activated by Ultron himself, in order to exterminate every mutant they could find and tracked down. The effects of the war have caused the disbandment of the X-Men, The Brotherhood, and every other mutant organization that ever existed and also caused the many deaths to millions of humans and mutants worldwide, causing world-mass terrorism acts and violence committed against mutantkind.
Due to this, Logan and the rest of his fellow mutants that was once an X-Man who believed in the same cost tried their absolute best and kept on fighting and surviving against anti-mutant oppressors in order to avoid mutant extinction from ever happening. However, the latter still failed, and without anyone who could've help the mutantkind from anti-mutant power, not even the superhumans could, the survivors had no other choice but to leave their homes inside states and countries all around the world who were ran by anti-mutant supporters, and forced to go and live in hiding, hoping for the days that hope would come and save mutantkind, hoping for the days that would never come.
Living in a Dark Future
Years after the events of Ultron Revolution, the surviving mutants are already on the brink of extinction due to the sudden release of a virus, known as the "Legacy Virus," formerly created by the Transigen Project years earlier was released by Ultron moments before his defeat before it began spreading, poisoning the population of mutantkind. Logan, who has aged greatly because his healing factor has begun to falter and the adamantium within his body is now slowly poisoning him, due to him getting infected by the virus for a brief amount of time.
Not long afterwards, Logan was publicly framed for the deaths of his fellow retired heroic mutants, such as Cyclops inside his residence and Magneto inside his kingdom in Genosha, who previously fought during the Ultron Revolution, with foolproof evidence being the way they were killed: claw marks on each and every part of their body. Some were even dismembered and/or decapitated. Some even had examined DNA samples of Wolverine around the scene of the crimes. Because of this, Logan further believed that the adamantium poisoning in his body is also degrading the nerve cells in his mind as his healing factor regenerates it over and over again, forgetting some certain memories in the process, to which it was also being replaced by new but fabricated ones to fill in the gaps of the memories he was starting to lose.
As a result to this events, the forever guilt and traumatized Logan among the rest of the mutants slowly who still survived have completely retired from their heroic lives and began living outside the United States, hiding from the eyes of the Alkali Corporation, an anti-mutant organization and a subsidiary of H.A.M.M.E.R. who recently surfaced into a recovering society and began hunting, killing, and experimenting on mutantkind for their sole purpose is to wipe them out from existence. Despite mostly convinced that Logan himself killed his mutant comrades, some of his remaining confidantes knew and strongly believed he was innocent, as there were witnesses who saw where Logan was during the night of the slaughter, who either unfortunately disappeared, or suddenly changed their mind as a result of being effectively bribed by Stark and the Empire's operatives, ensuring that Logan remains a fugitive to the country for being a deadly and ravenous mutant serial killer on the loose. Logan has since been living in his own shack, spending his livelihood as a hunter, farmer, and fisherman somewhere in Mexico, still filled with immeasurable guilt by his haunting past.
Ending Stark's Tyranny
After the death of the Punisher, Logan and the rest of the remaining heroic mutants such as Rogue, Iceman, and Deadpool (though the latter's not a mutant), were inspired by the heroic sacrifice of their long-time friend and ally, and decided to finally come up from the shadows and help the Resistance against Edward Stark's tyrannical dictatorship on the world and decides to finally end it once and for all. Logan was also convinced to help when it was revealed that his clone/"daughter" Laura Kinney and as well as other several mutants, had been kidnapped and were subjected into experimentation by the Alkali Corporation, under by the orders of Zander Rice and executed by Donald Pierce, the leader of the Reavers.
Rescuing the Mutants
After the fall of Edward Stark's reign, Logan began to travel back in the States across the vast plains of the Texas searching for the last remaining secret main headquarters of the Alkali Corporation to find and rescue Laura Kinney and other young mutants from the hands of Zander Rice. After discovering the entrance that leads to the secret headquarters, he was interrupted and were confronted by Donald Pierce and the Reavers. Their confrontation would eventually lead into a fight that lasted for hours, before Logan manages to successfully kill the members of the Reavers and agents of Alkali and expect for Donald, whom he spared and later knocked him out unconsciously.
After that, he continuously search for Laura inside the base but before that, he briefly fought a mysterious hooded figure who sneaked up upon him, but Logan manages to severely wound him causing for the figure to escape and vanish. He was wounded as well and struggles to find Laura until he found her in a secret laboratory along with other experimented and tortured mutant prisoners. He freed the rest of the mutants and rescued Laura, and later escaped with all the other mutant prisoners after defeating and killing Donald Pierce, who tried to prevent them from escaping the base.
Secret Wars
Logan faces his savage and beast-minded clone, Albert
Before and during the premature death of the universe known by many witnesses as the incursions, Logan and Laura were riding on an abandoned van, and was about to reunite with the rest of the Resistance after they noticed as they looked up to the sky, which suddenly turned red, to see another Earth, the one from another universe, looming above. They continued driving on the Texan road until their van was stopped and were interrupted by Zander Rice, who surprisingly manages to survive the assault when Logan infiltrated his base days ago, alongside the same hooded figure who tries to attack Logan and the Mutant Coalition earlier. The hooded man attacks Logan and they fought while Laura chased after Zander. Then it was revealed that the hooded man have the adamantium claws same as Logan's. Logan had a feeling of instinct, and his feelings never lie that the hooded man was someone who couldn't be trusted.
After slashing the face of the hooded man and getting rid of his hood, It was revealed that he was a clone of himself named X-24, nicknamed Albert by Rice, causing for Logan to be surprised in horror, since the clone seemed to have his old personalities when he was still young and was filled with raged and hate. At that moment, Logan was reminded of his trauma due to him being framed as the killer of his mutant allies and enemies, figuring out it was all a frame act used to take advantage over his declining mind and body. The battle lasted for moments when Logan was close to being killed until he finally manages to stab the clone in the head with an adamantium fragment, killing X-24 and avenging the very deaths he had caused, especially among his allies. Logan was triumphant, but was mortally wounded when he was impaled on adamantium debris several times. Laura and several mutant allies, who had finally defeated Zander, manages to catch up on Logan but it was already too late, he was already dying from his injures which his failing healing factor could no longer mend. Logan says his final words before dying in his daughter's arms. He was later buried next to the graves of every hero or redeemed villain who became heroes and sacrificed themselves during Ultron Revolution and the fall the Edward Stark's Empire months earlier, before the world greatly ended along with the rest of the multiverse.
Legacy
After the restoration of the Multiverse at the hands of the benevolent Beyonder in order to contemplate the disastrous and convoluted Secret Wars, Logan unfortunately didn't resurface back into life, with his resurrected allies and enemies alike still remembering his sacrifice during the final face-off against the Alkali Corporation. The resurrected Laura, Iceman, Rogue, and other mutants were seen revisiting his rested grave at the Superheroes Cemetery, still at the same location where he was buried with honor. The only difference at that new moment was that Logan's tombstone had an "X" branded into it, along with the rest of his fallen X-Men comrades, and some of his other heroic allies, reminding the very savage hero that he was best in doing, which might or might not have been the nicest, but it is most selfless deed that he had done in order to ensure his people's future.
As Logan's respectful and beloved visitors left the cemetery, they rode a newly-built X-Jet as they head to the also reconstructed mansion of the late Charles Xavier, serving as the profound haven of mutant children once again as it does in the past. Later on, it was also revealed that his name was finally cleared out as the serial killer who was responsible for the mutant killings after Ultron Revolution, since the public and authorities now know it was the clone X-24 that was made by Alkali Corp and not Logan himself.
