Wolf O'Donnell (ウルフ オドネル, Urufu Odoneru) is a character from the Star Fox series who is the leader of the Star Wolf team, the rival of Star Fox. He has been confirmed, via screenshot as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Wolf made his first canon appearance in Star Fox 64. Very little is known about Wolf's past, or how he recieved his "eyepatch". Many have viewed Wolf to be an anti-hero instead of a villian.

Character Description
Wolf made his first canon appearance in Star Fox 64. He, along with Leon Powalski, Andrew Oikonny, and Pigma Dengar formed the team Star Wolf and were hired by Andross to destroy the Star Fox team led by Fox McCloud. Throughout the game, the player battles Star Wolf a total of two times, though there are three different battles with them overall.

Nine years after the events of Star Fox 64, in Star Fox: Assault, Wolf became known as Lord O'Donnell among criminals at the Sargasso Space Hideout. When team Star Fox went looking for Pigma (who stole a Memory Core earlier in the game), Star Wolf (now consisting of Panther, Leon, and Wolf) went to destroy team Star Fox for invading Wolf's hideout. Star Wolf was defeated in the battle. When the threat of the Aparoids was rising, Wolf arrived on Corneria to save Fox from the Aparoids (Wolf said the only reason he saved Fox was so he could destroy Fox himself). After that event, Star Wolf provided backup to Team Star Fox two more times in the game, including the final battle. After the Aparoid Homeworld exploded, team Star Wolf were nowhere to be found. Although, Fox speculated they were alive. This is later proven in Star Fox: Command.

After the events of Star Fox: Assault, Team Star Wolf was confirmed to be alive, and continued their lives of crime. However, they were noticed by the Cornerian Military. As a response to their crimes, a bounty reward was set for each member. (Wolf had the highest bounty set at S$3000000). To avoid attention, they set up a base on Fichina. After this they sought to remove their bounties and were tired of being seen as villains. Star Wolf then began to plot out a way to defeat the Anglar Empire. Afterwards, the team split up. While Leon and Panther went to Katina, Wolf was presumably researching a device that Andross built that would neutralize the toxicity of the Venom Sea. Team Star Fox found the device on Titania first, However, and Star Wolf was not seen again.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee
In the opening sequence to the game, there is a short moment where Fox McCloud - piloting his Arwing, crosses paths with Wolf in his Wolfen. A mugshot of the two characters in their cockpits is briefly seen. In early days of the game's release, this led to much speculation of Wolf playing a role in the game - perhaps as a playable character. However, this was not the case.

The aircraft of choice for team Star Wolf, the Wolfen, appear on the stages Corneria and Venom, seemingly doing battle with Star Fox in their Arwings.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
