The Ladies in a Runt's Life

Logan and Rose first came in contact when she was just a child and Logan was on a mission to 'meet and greet' Rose's father, a scientist who wanted to come work for Landau, Luckman & Lake. Her mother (a woman from another dimension) was already dead. They met again years later when her father was kidnapped.

Rose was a morpher who lost control of her morphing abilites as she got older. Whatever other family she did or didn't have, she was known to have a granddaughter named Ruth who is around the same age as Jubilee (current status: Unknown). Rose eventually became a full-time employee of LL&L and stayed there until she decided to retire and invested her savings into buying part of The Princess Bar in Madripoor - where she remained until her death.

Rose: "No... Logan.. please do not kill him. Follow his path, and there is no turning back. You will be lost to use forever. His death will not bring back my father." Logan: "I... can't... stop... myself.." Rose: "You can, Logan. Take your sword. Take it... take back your humanity!" (Logan: Path of the Warlord, Graphic Novel - February, 1996)

Rose: "Is this how you treat old friends? Shame on you!" Logan: "What can I say, Rose. I've been dead." Rose: "That's an excuse? I must confess, though, you have looked better. How bad?" Logan: "Bad as it gets, across the board." (Uncanny X-Men, Vol. 1, No. 257 - January, 1990)

Rose: "Come on over to the bar and lift a few with old friends. Remember when I posed for the painting? Time flies, don't it?" (Wolverine, Vol. 1, No. 87 - November, 1994)

Logan: "I must really be losin' it if I'm trippin' over stiffs!" Rose: "You can say that again, Logan! Time was, you could cover the floor with bodies, blood and beer and never lose your balance!" Logan: "Rose! You're alive!" Rose: "You call this living? I thought I was hitting Easy Street when I took my annuity from Landau, Luckman and Lake and bought the ol' Princess Bar from O'Donnell -- but all I got coming through the door are hard cases just like you. A smile and a kiss and that thousand yard look in the eye that goes all the way to blackout city. I don't forget anything, though. We had some times in the bad old days, didn't we, Logan?" (Wolverine, Vol. 1, No. 98 - February, 1996)
