Jimmy Hudson is a fictional character in Marvel Comics' Ultimate Marvel universe. He is the son of Wolverine of Earth-1610.
Jimmy Hudson first appeared in the Ultimatums follow-up Ultimate Comics: X by Jeph Loeb and art from David Messina and Art Adams.
Jimmy Hudson is the son of Wolverine/James Howlett and Magda. Wolverine fought alongside James Hudson in the Iraq war and entrusted James with his newborn son. James later becomes a sheriff in Florida and with his wife Heather raised Jimmy in Port St Lucie, Florida. While drag racing, Jimmy's car flipped off the road. He survived, but his body was in pain yet rapidly healing. The following day, Jimmy met Kitty Pryde and she handed him a box of Wolverine's possessions. In a holographic message Wolverine appeared before Jimmy. Wolverine told Jimmy he was his son and to forget about asking who his birth mother is, not to think about the past and focus on the future, respect the Hudsons for raising him on his behalf, and learn to live with the choices he had made. Wolverine's final message was that he never regretted having Jimmy as a son. Kitty theorized that Jimmy inherited Wolverine's abilities and encouraged him to try. After focusing hard, his bone claws painfully sheathed through his knuckles for the first time. Jimmy formed a metallic coating over his claws. After this, he mastered control of his claws.
Jimmy Hudson found Jean Grey who was using the alias of Karen Grant. Jean Grey decides to tag along with Jimmy on his mission to recruit the mutants Derek Morgan and Liz Allan.
When in Chicago, Jimmy Hudson and Karen Grant begin their look for Derek Morgan. Jimmy later rescues Derek while Karen makes his brother Joe forget his brother's vigilante activities.
