Slashing Skills

-Wolverine’s rapid regeneration powers allow him to bounce back from almost every type of bodily wound on the condition that his head remains firmly attached to his shoulders. Nevertheless, the time of each healing is understandably proportionate to the severity of the injury. His body is also immune to most poisons, drugs, and diseases; his agility, reflexes, and senses are similarly enhanced. Wolverine sees and hears things at distances far greater than those of ordinary humans. His sense of smell is even more magnified and he can recognize people and objects by scent alone, which, combined with combat and stealth training, makes him one of the world’s foremost trackers.

Hugh Jackman Didn’t Know About Wolverine
During an interview on HBO, Hugh Jackman answered questions that led to him squishing rumors about him taking steroids to easily bulk up to play as Logan. Hugh Jackman then talked about the negative sides of steroid use, then stating that he didn’t love it “that much” playing Wolverine. He also shared having studied wolves when he was first cast for the role.

“I had never read the comic book… I didn’t, in Australia, we don’t have wolverines. I didn’t know that was a real animal. I’d never heard of a wolverine. I thought it was a made-up animal.” He also went on to say, “so I went (to set) with all these wolf moves and I was doing these moves, and the director said, ‘what are you doing?’ And I said, ‘well, I was just thinking wolves are always looking like this because they’re actually smelling, they’ve got their nose to the ground…’ and he goes, ‘What do you mean a wolf?’ And I said, ‘well, you know, Wolverine—I’m part wolf so…’ and he goes, ‘no, you’re a wolverine.’”

Hugh Jackman also stated he had never read a comic book: “I had never read the comic book…I didn’t, in Australia, we don’t have wolverines. I didn’t know that was a real animal. I’d never heard of a wolverine. I thought it was a made-up animal.” It is kinda funny to think about the actor who plays Wolverine not knowing the animal exist…but at least he knows now!

Wolverine Defeated Lobo With The Power Of Democracy!

There is a misconception that DC and Marvel comics are rivals. This is not the case. The two companies have done numerous crossovers with each other over the years. These mostly involved team-ups of heroes vs villains (like Batman and Captain America joining forces to fight the Joker and Red Skull).

In 1996, DC and Marvel announced plans for a crossover series that would pit their characters against each other. The results of each fight would be decided via a fan vote. Wolverine was intended to fight Lobo.

Wolverine is a badass character to be sure, but Lobo can go toe-to-toe with Superman. Lobo should have absolutely destroyed Wolverine. The fan vote was overwhelmingly in Wolverine's favour, however, as he is the more popular character. When the fight between the two characters started, it immediately went behind a bar, with Wolverine emerging the victor. The fight wasn't shown, as the writers couldn't think of a way to have Wolverine realistically beat Lobo.

WolverineWolverine has the luxury to be the only X-Men character to consistently hold down a solo comic title since his ongoing debuted in 1988. With an overwhelming onslaught of stories, it can be hard to know where to start. But just like Logan anytime he runs across a teenage girl, I am willing to be your gruff mentor with a heart of gold through the raging seas of Wolverine because I have compiled the 10 best Wolverine stories of all time.

Now, you will not agree with every pick, but trust the master. There are some iconic classics in here, some modern favorites, and some stories where Wolverine fights a sentient pile of co***ne. This is intentional. Each odd arc, each harrowing ronin’s tale, each bloody team-up, highlights a different aspect of Wolverine and you must understand the whole of Wolverine to truly appreciate him.

CINEMAUTOPSY: WHAT WENT WRONG WITH ‘X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE’?
Most of X-Men Origin’s version of “Weapon X,” the iconic comics storyline where Wolverine gets his adamantium skeleton, is pretty terrible, but Jackman’s fury after his transformation into an unstoppable killing machine is terrifying. Comics’ Wolverine often flies into what’s referred to as “berserker rage,” a concept that sounds pretty badass on the page, but could look mighty foolish onscreen.

'Logan' is a gripping Wolverine story to take seriously
James Mangold's Logan is an uncommonly mature comic book movie, practically from another universe unto itself. It's a movie demanding and deserving to be taken seriously, an elegy for a mutant.
