Well that’s what Wikipedia says, and of course Wikipedia has never been known to lie, though occasionally it gets all the facts wrong. I’ll leave it up to Elgin Community College alumni to confirm or deny his enrollment (please comment).

Who is this guy anyway? Well, I think he’s better known in Korea than here, though he is a Michigan native. He is set to appear in the next installation of X-Men (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) as Agent Zero. Agent who?

Agent Zero is a mutant who can absorb the kinetic energy of an impact within certain limits without injury to himself. Zero must then release the energy he absorbs and can channel it as blasts of concussive-corrosive energy via an acidic enzyme secreted from his fingertips. This enzyme was specifically designed by the Weapon X Program to counteract an opponents self-healing abilities by reversing the process so that the more an opponent attempts to heal an enzyme-inflicted wound, the worse it becomes. Zero is also able to channel absorbed energy into raw strength, allowing him to deliver blows ten times stronger than normal.

Like other members of the Weapon X Program, Zeros D.N.A. contains an age suppression factor that greatly retards his aging process. Subsequent modification by the Program has removed all discernable scent from his body. (source: IMDB)

Wow, that was great. No need to read The Onion today.
