James was born in 1912 in the family of a wealthy doctor Howard Cross and socialite Martha Cross, who were members of the prestigious Cross family from New Gotham (Gotham City + New York).
In 1925 (when he was 13 years old) he witnessed the murder of his parents at the hands of an armed robber. After their death, he was succeeded by Edwin Pennyworth (Alfred Pennyworth + Edwin Jarvis), and he studied to be a doctor, like his father.
In 1939, when the Second World War began, he entered there with Edwin Pennyworth, met Victor Grant (Wildcat + Sabretooth) and the hero of America - the Guardian (Superman + Captain America). There they helped each other and rescued a boy from prison camps
In 1961, James and Victor were captured in the Weapon 7X project (Team 7 + Weapon X), a program that wanted to create its own Guardian after the original was lost. It was here that James had adamantium associated with his bones. Also, something happened there that the creators of the project did not expect, namely the invasion of Edwin Pennyworth to save James. When James released all the characters of the project, Victor was furious after waking up, and there he killed Edwin like a wild beast. During Logan and Victor’s battle, it was James who came out the loser, which caused absolute hatred between the former best friends. Due to the failure of the project, all files were completely classified, and the very existence of the program was completely destroyed.
After the collapse of the Weapon 7X program, Logan decided to fight crime to avenge the death of his parents and find Victor. He spent years traveling the world, training to intellectual and physical perfection and learning various crime fighting skills, including criminology, criminology, martial arts, gymnastics and disguise. In addition to academic knowledge, James has long been a member of the organization “League of Dark Claws” (Court of Owls + League of Shadows + Hand).
For the whole world in 1983, James Cross returns as the son of James Cross - Logan Cross, who has regained his fortune (which was previously hidden by him in the past) and wants to regain the honor of the family. Also in the same year, James creates the first costume model and begins to fight crime. So that the world does not associate Logan and Iron Claw, he makes Logan’s personality for the whole world - a playboy, an athlete and a walking mystery.
For a long time Logan worked alone until the momentous year 1994 came when he met his first serious opponent - Professor Miles Strange (Hugo Strange + Jackal) and became an ally with Commissioner James Stacy (Commissioner James Gordon + George Stacy). After that, he designs an Alter Ego (to which in the future Jason Collins gives the name P.E.N.N.Y. in honor of Edwin Pennyworth) and in 2000 Logan decides to adopt a 6-year-old boy with a split personality whose parents died. Who later becomes Iron Claw’s assistant Sparrow.
