Origin Linus Dorfman was a deranged man who had grown up torturing animals because it pleased him. He would also practice self-flagellation in order to punish himself for what he did. His disturbed tendencies eventually led him to murder the nighttime zookeeper of the Central Park Zoo so that he could torture the animals there. Creation Linus Dorfman was created by Larry Hama and Marc Silvestri . Major Story Arcs Under The Skin While Wolverine was making his way through Central Park , he picked up the scent of blood and made his way to the nearby zoo where he came across a caged and injured wolverine. Wolverine was then attacked by Linus, who was willing to kill him so that he could continue torturing the animals there. Linus managed to stab Wolverine through the hand, but he quickly backed off when the X-Man popped his claws.
