The TRUE origin of WOLVERINE! | Wolverine: Origin

Wolverine: The Origin tells the story of the superhero Wolverine, best known as a member of the X-Men. Since the character first appeared in the early 1970s his history had often been shrouded in mystery, with bits of information revealed piecemeal over time (notably in Weapon X), but this series was the first to reveal Wolverine's early days and his original background. In their introductions, some of those who worked on the series express their reluctance to reveal the actual origins of one of the comic world's most popular and mysterious characters. Even Wolverine himself has few recollections of where he came from and this was an essential part of his appeal.

The best part of the story is the fact that for the longest time you are led to believe that Dog is Wolverine. Dog is the focus of the cover, Dog as a kid and teenager is a splitting image of adult wolverine, Logan is Dog's last name, he's a trouble maker, and the fact that Rose mentions in her dairy that she never found out Dog's real name. As that could be a cop out of never revealing Wolverine's real first name. It's only until James stabs Logan with his bone claws that you relies it's him.

I hate it when he spoiled it right away that james is wolverine he should have just started with "there are 3 children and one of them looks like logan we all know today"

Alright, if you're going to join the X-Men, you need to know at least 2 things: Do not confuse Wolverine with emotional conflict and do not embarrass Colossus. Because if you do, Colossus is going to crash through the nearest wall, and Wolverine will escape through the hole, shirtless, into the wilderness to find a random pack of wolves to run with.

I was in high school (11th grade?) when this came out. It was quite the event. All my friends were talking about it, I borrowed a copy, etc. It felt like everyone loved it. The only part I missed was that dog was NOT sabertooth. Like, until I saw this video I legitimately thought that, it just made sense--rivalry and such. So with that revelation in mind, I still like the story, but I think that part needed to be in there. To explain where their ancient animosity stemmed from.

Happy New Year Guys. Watching this episode was like having the trippiest flashback ever. Except I had to explain the story issue by issue as they came out, rather than the entire thing from a trade, It didn't help that every five minutes I had to go and pull out a 20 year old comic to explain a point, or how this story differed from the so called canon and it really doesn't matter, cause it going to change. But it was fun, two minutes of explanation, five minutes of laughing.

Happy New Year. As an older reader I loved this origin story because it showed us a lot of the things and people that shaped Wolverine....not to mention why he was so hung up on Jean Grey. The only thing that was missing was the Cyclops representative to tell him he was going about things the wrong way.

I was absolutely in love with this when I first read it, the emotional punch was so real, i didn't think I wolverine story could move me like that and while wolverine lost his memories these memories still formed who he becomes which was really well done. I knew at the time marvel wrote this so Hollywood wouldn't mess it up and I'm glad marvel was pushed to write this, because if not the fox version that they would of made would be considered the definitive version and I promise it would of sucked. A part of me hopes Marvel makes this movie at some point.

I sat down in Barnes and Noble and read the whole thing. It wasn't enough. I felt like it was a little overdone. I knew Rose would die and I hated that Dog was a Sabertooth analogue. He either should have been Sabertooth or just not looked like him. Rose should have left with Smitty and let that be that. If that happened, it would explain why Wolverine can't let Jean go without being cliche. "He let her leave through inaction the first time" kind of thing. And Logan gets his nickname Wolverine from the mining people because of his skills in digging. Fuck that. He shouldn't have gotten that as a name until Weapon X.

I didn't like this book when it came out. I liked the fact that Wolverine had no "origin" for like the past 30+yrs of Marvel history at the time. His past was kinda there if u glued the pieces together, but nothing official either. I think revealing the origin took away something from the myth that is wolverine or for me anyway he wasnt as badass anymore, lol. Also because at the time of Origins release it was kind of a surprise, came from left field feeling. Marvel actually did it and it was done.I think it was years later that he remembered his past. But i had quit comics in the 2000's until recently. Love your videos guys.

As for the story. I thought it was abit predictable and boring. You know right away that Wolverine's dad is Logan and I knew he'd end up accidentally killing Rose. Bleh. But I was really mad that they decided to give away Wolverine's origin so I read it expecting not like it. Guess I need to read it again. And I refuse to call him Jimmy!!! Thanks for doing Origins.
