He was also very strong because his bones weighed so much from the adamantium. Lugging around hundreds of pounds of metal on your body and having accelerated muscle regen made him a beast

What nobody realized is that he carried the whole xmen franchise by himself hopefully MCU can do it properly

His also 5’3 ft in the comic and cartoon. This was to represent his similarities to a Wolverine, small but ferocious. You’ll notice this in the cartoons and comics where people always call him little man, where he responds “how about I cut you down”

One thing I love about wolverine, when he tries to focus and fight collected he's good. But when he rages out.........he's literally unstoppable.

Wolverine was massively under powered in the movies. Most people didn't understand just how powerful and strong he is.

“Worlds angriest Canadian”.... you clearly haven’t encountered a Canadian Goose.

Hugh Jackman was always a good choice for Wolverine in my mind and just got more Wolverine as time went on. I dunno about anyone else, but I was unprepared and kinda shocked at how young and unbuff Jackman actually was in that shot from his earliest outings. He was almost downright flabby in that shot. Turns out the simple secret to a healthy, buff bod is playing the role of the angriest, yet most relatable superhero in the Marvelverse for a mere 18 years…sign me up bub.

1:57 If you ever looked closely at the way Xavier and Magneto play chess they play the same way they lead. Magneto sacrifices his pawns while Xavier protects his pawns.

*spiderman and wolverine are UNDOUBTEDLY the most iconic/popular marvel characters EVER*

Back then Hugh Jackman actually got criticism on how he was too tall to be Wolverine, little did they know he was actually born for the role

On his power letting him forget, it was better described on "how to kill Deadpool." His healing factor can repair his brain, but not necessarily regenerate the nerve patterns which encode memories. So, every serious head injury that would liquify the brain, he heals but would have it affect his memory.

"He was born in the 80s....that is the 1880s!" and then immediately shows a clip of him fighting in the American Civil War as an adult which took place the 1860s. Real good stuff guys.

Some things you missed: He's Peter Parker's uncle on his father's side, and was actually there when Pete was born, congratulating his father. Deadpool's healing factor _is_ Wolverine's as well. He had a tryst with Squirrelgirl when she was around 18. He animalistic side prevents him from committing suicide and has forced him to survive several times when he wanted to die. He's met, and killed, several alternative versions of himself. Not just clones or robots, actual hims from other earths. He and Dr. Doom have a peculiar relationship of mutual respect and have played chess together more than they've fought.

The craziest thing about wolverine to me is that he's actually the lowest class of mutant, but is still strong enough to stand up to a ton of much stronger mutants.

In Logan the fact that he was losing his healing abilities was not connected with being poiaoned by his skeleton. The main plot why mutant were gone was causing him to lose his powers, as he also ate and drank a lot of corn syroup which was geneticly modified to suppress Gene X

The MCU needs to highlight Wolverine's martial arts background. That is pretty much the only thing I felt was missing from the great Hugh Jackman's performance.

He needs a healing factor and adamantium to carry marvel on his back

I recall Wolverine going through pain every time he used his claws, it even would vary when and how fast he would heal. One point in an Alpha Flight issue, he was going through the hardest time using his claws because he wasn't healing as well at that time.

CBR: “Worlds angriest Canadian” Me: That implies there are multiple angry Canadians, but there is only one mad Canadian, Wolverine

When I first got into wolverine, with the graphic novel series back in the late 80's, I always thought that if there was a movie ever made about wolverine, Clint Eastwood would've been the perfect choice , because if you look at how his character is, and how he's drawn in the comics there is definitively a resemblance to the young eastwood. But at that time and for years before, wolverine was popular but not like how it eventually took off years later. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that the creators of wolverine modeled him off clint eastwood.

Wolverine has always been one of my favorite Marvel characters since I was little he always was the outcast a person who struggled with personal issues and was very loyal

Hugh Jackman's Wolverine was the face of Fox Version of X-Men Movies just like RDJ's Iron Man is the face of the MCU Movies.

I always loved reading the Wolverine Saga, it was a comic book with a hard bound spine unlike most comic books with their 2 or 3 staples. Two of my favorite conflicts were Wolverine vs Cyber & Wolverine vs Sabertooth, but I haven’t bought comic books since the 90’s

My favorite part of wolverine is even if you get past Professor X's defenses you still have to worry about every single wolverine that was locked away in wolverines mind. Like when demons took over his body and were fighting his mind for control. They weren't expecting a version of him who thought he was Jean. Aka the Phoenix

Wolverine is my favorite Marvel character

Man, I’m so glad Hugh played Logan, he was and is the best!

Loved that you used the footage of Wolverines last rampage as an example of his strength.

Hugh & his scream/ howl. No one else could've played this role the last 20 years.

"Who knows how long he would live?" Uhhh, Albert and Elsie Dee. They tracked him through literal centuries. About 300 years past the X-Men era.

One of my favorite comic book arcs is Wolverine #100 where Genesis tried to put adamantium back into Wolverine (Magneto ripped it out) to make him a horseman of Apocalypse. Because of the intense pain, he rejected the adamantium and entered an unstoppable rage, killing Genesis and the Dark Riders showing just how powerful he can become when he doesn't control his rage.

So if just a drop of blood can remake him entirely, I have one big question, wouldn't that make him reborn as he was before the weapon x modifications? I mean the Adamantium was added to his bones during the weaponizing process, it is not a part of him naturally, so how could he regrow the metal not to mention it's not organic, it would just be his bones. So technically he would be himself before the weapon x program gave him the remarkable metal. Seems like a big thing to overlook.

There was a story line where he regenerated from a single cell in less than a minute. It's the one where they're hunting for a rogue mutant who wipes out a whole city after taking a power enhancing drug. This was probably peak regeneration, I believe they toned it down not long after.

Logan was the name of his real father who happened to be the grounds keeper

I've loved every movie with wolverine. I would like to see a heck of a lot more, and if they find another replacement, he better be able to play the hell out of it like Hugh did lol. Keep me in the loop of potentials though

Great work!

Other than Hugh Jackman playing Wolverine is questionable. Hugh Jackman carry that character to the next lvl.

Wolverine was trapped in some kinda silver stuff for like 2 years and he still LIVED WITH NO AIR

If a single drop of Logan's blood can grow a new Wolverine, then if Wolverine lost a bunch of blood, would a horde of Wolverines grow from it? Seems like a plot hole to me.

One of the best videos ever ..great break down on wolverine

I really never even thought of Bob Hoskins as wolverine. He would have been surprisingly good for it. So much rage! Lol

Watching Hugh's body transformation is insane. How you bring up the aging factor and werewolves and don't mention feral wolverine

3:20 he said Wolverine forgot his whole name. The official story should have been that: Logan forgot it, because his original brain was melted in getting Adamantium injection. That’d answer the question if he could heal from total brain loss. The Adamantium would have been molten for a while, inhibiting the brains cortex. After a long while, his healing power wouldn’t retain the thoughts of those brain cells. Prof X would only get so far He’d need Dr Stranges ability to look into a soul. That would clear everything up completely. Till then, he’s just a lost soul, no matter what he does.

Kaali Maaaaa! Subscribed 👍

I thought that in Logan they was putting stuff in the foods and drinks that cancels out the mutant gene being the reason why mutants no longer exist and Wolverine and Prof. X were deteriorating being the last of the original mutants. Also the mutant children where protected due to experimental needs which is why Laura (X23) was instantly hooked on the food and drink from the gas station when she first tried it.

Adamantium bullets don't penetrate adamanium skulls. Just one of many derps that made that movie stupid.

Wolverine is one bad dude, kinda miss seeing him in movies already, luckily I can see him in comics still, glad you made this video cause not many people really know how many abilities he really does have, I think the movies tend to make him more human-like, in actuality he’s a lot tougher and can’t be taken down so easily

wolverine does feel pain when his claws comes out...source: x men 1

I just want to point out 2 things: 1: with the weightlifting/strength building call-out, you could have mentioned him lugging around ~130lbs of adamantium; dude is never not working out! 2: Number 8's point. Wolvie has both been reduced to just a head, and had everything but his bones (and brain I think) burnt away, and recovered from both.

Covid-19: I'm here Wolverine: hold my beer

Great, showing an image of Wolverine fighting in the civil war circa 1860, while saying he was born 20 years later. Awesome editing job.

"You can't even lie to him and say you got a thing to get out of a fight!" LMAO!!!

Wolve is a beast. one of my top 2 fav fictional characters. No matter the format movie,animation,comic. I look at it as if it's different people interpreting what they have seen or heard like many story's and even real life events some parts of a story relate and are close to each other. while sometimes having extra parts added in and or twisted. Some things look different to others. Some times it's refreshing and unique to see how some one else can interpret a story in there own way. Yes it can get confusing and sometimes not sit right with an audience. What I would love to see is wolve coming back to movies as feral wolverine easely allowing a new actor to take up the role.

I always hated the adamantium poisoning him thing. Marvel can never leave well enough alone.

Born in the 1880s yet was full grown fighting in the civil war which ended in 1865.

I like how u worked in that transition

The metal background was a really nice touch.

I want to see Wolverine and Steve Rogers have a drink-off

So glad someone finally mentioned the fact of how he keeps growing muscles because of how muscle building works!

you even got his animal senses and berzerker rage, thumbs up!

Wow. I never realized the TBI portion of this character. That's kind of an awesome little detail.

And don't forget that Wolverine has lots of children alot of children

wolverine was actually born in the 1830's, since he did fight in the civil war in the 1860's

It wasn't actually the adamantium that was killing Logan. It was a chemical that was put in the corn. Being as Logan drank a lot, the chemical was inhibiting his healing ability. Also, wolverine was originally one of the founding members of the Canadian superhero group called Alpha flight. The comics back in the 1970's had several encounters between the X-Men and Alpha Flight because Alpha Flight wanted him back.

The science behind old man Logan. Having his bones completely covered in bone, and with bones being the only source of fresh new red and white blood cells. For Logan, he never received any new blood cells and with the metal graphs to his entire skeleton, any body including Wolverine's considers that a trauma or an injury. Therefore, his healing factor is constantly going, that doesn't include additional injuries. With both of these huge handicaps, his healing factor continues to try to keep him at "factory specs" and the lack of one critical biological function begins to wear on his physique, causing his healing factor to work harder and harder every time he gets injured. With 200 years of walking the earth, he didn't age at ALL since becoming a fully grown and mature. Then gets the adamantium in the late 70s-early 80s. Only about 50-70 years after that does Logan even begin showing signs of significant age. Ultimately, his death can be directly attributed to the adamantium, since his death was a result of far too much bodily injury (in Old Man Logan anyways).

Just imagine a guy watching this named james and has a brother named Logan who everyone likes better than him

Wolverine in Beserker Rage is almost unstoppable.

I have always wondered how Wolverine is able to sleep since he regens instantly and constantly, how does he manage to force himself asleep. A real life Wolverine would probably go insane from his mind never being able to rest. Also if Wolverine actually tried lifting weights to bodybuild or increase strength he would be the largest and strongest human ever considering he heals instantly.

When I was a kid, I always hoped someone would cast the dude who played 'Belcher'(??) on the ''Hill Street Blues'' series.That guy had the look, the height, and the famous growl.

I want a “what if” with wolverine absorbing The Hulks gamma radiation ☢️....Thus becoming the “Incredible Wolverine”, Wolverines disposition, Hulks anger issues... Gimmie lmao 😂

*Correction* Logan does feel the pain of his claws popping out but due to his healing factor it doesn't last long

Thanks for the Herb Trimpe homage. Great story!

Nice jobs,thanks share

OMG so since he doesn't get tired imagine him in a 10 kilometre run. He will just sprint the whole time while others jog and take their time. OMG OMG OMG!!!

as a 40yr fan i kinda preferred it when we still had no idea about the exact details of his origin.. i also remember when his claws were drawn to spring out his wrists & not his hands & of course they were believed to be solid metal..also when it comes to the movies they haven't used his heightened senses ability enuff. & Jackman looks the part (except way too tall) but has never quite nailed my favorite character.

Weapon X, Department H and the gamma project were all derivative of the super soldier project. Essentially, captain was Weapon 1. Spiderman's parents were also part of Department H and Oscorps projects were acquired thusly.

Finally someone said something about where rogue got like half her powers. Thank you. Can't wait to see rogue wrap her hands around Carol Danvers throat.

He feels pain, he's said multiple times it hurts when the claws come out. N comparison to being blown up etc, it's not as bad on his scale as it would b on ours

I remember a very subtle detail from the X-Men cartoon when the team travels to the Savage Land to stop Mr. Sinister. When the heroes all lose their powers, Wolverine tells the villains, "There's nothing mutant about these!" He pops his claws, and it visibly hurts him to do so.

I heard Wolverine, being as old as he is, has been in EVERY Marvel team ever.

Wait if his healing factor builds immunity and adaption over time how did his adamantium poison him?

2:05 my dude literally foreshadowed wolverine in the battle pass

They forgot to mention his other metabolic problem: Wolverine eats a LOT. (Which begs the question of why there aren't Wolverine droppings every 2 blocks in New York.)

One of the things that think really needs is the character Morph, this character did have a big part on wolverine.

Hes my favorite super hero ever since iwas a kid.. i had alot of his action figures i wana collect them again..hes the best from marvel my favorite

Did anyone know that Captian America also has a healing factor to his healing factor isn’t as fast as wolverines but cap can heal a hella lot faster than a normal human

So your telling me if I shot an Avada Kedavra At This Guy He’d Be Dead For A Second But Then He Would Just Revive Himself?

Whilst Professor X did put certain Psychic protections in place, in Wolverines mind, it’s also known that his healing factor also makes it EXTREMELY difficult for even Omega level telepaths to read his mind, and that’s because his healing factor is constantly regenerating the cells in his brain. For example, in X Men #25, after Magneto ripped the Adamantium from his skeleton, it took the combined effort of Professor X and Jean Grey to keep his mind from registering the damage done to his body. So that shows the level of natural psychic protection in place, when it took 2 of the most powerful Omega level telepaths on Earth, and maybe the Universe, just to keep him alive…..

When you talked about Wolverine's berserker rage you should have shown what he did to the Hellfire Club soldiers when the fired on him Logan's eyes went red and when he came too he was sitting on top of a pile of dead Hellfire soldiers.

Originally, before they went a different way with the origin stories and it was unknown who/what Wolverine really was, the writers of Wolverine had his claws not be part of his body but an extension of his gloves. Originally they weren't long knives in his arms, they were telescoping tubes of adamantium that were just 1mm thick (since adamantium was so strong, they could still destroy things despite being so thin), that extended from his gloves. Wolverine was never seen with his claws without his gloves on back in the day, and everybody always wondered if they were really part of his body or not. This is why the oldest versions of Wolverine's claws didn't look like knife blades, but more tubular and ribbed (indicating the sections in their telescoping). Hell, it was years before Wolverine was even drawn without his mask. Later his claws were written to be part of his body, and not his gloves, because if anybody could wear the gloves he wouldn't be unique as a character. Wolverine was also originally kind of a "villain of the week" that just comes out of nowhere, is there for the Hulk to fight for a while, then be totally forgotten. Why a Wolverine? Because they're tiny short animals that are incredibly fierce, taking on animals many times their size. Later he became part of the X-men, but he was just kind of a filler extra character that was just there for the background, he was kind of comic relief and dumb. He'd get angry, charge the enemy, get beat up, and the reader would laugh. He was going to be written out of the books but then Canadian writer John Bryne felt a kinship with this Canadian character, didn't want to let one of these few Canuck characters disappear, so Bryne gave him much more purpose and depth. This was further elaborated and built upon by Chris Claremont. If Claremont has to keep this character that gets angry and rushes at the enemy like a fool, well dammit, Claremont was going to make damn sure to give this character purpose for doing so besides being comic relief. This is really when Wolverine took off as a character. His reasons for always rushing to fight became things like he was an angry killer with a horrible past, where he would constantly kill and fight. He wasn't a nice guy, he was a ticking time bomb. “He has to fight to control himself, but what would make him a hero in my vision of him was that he would be able to overcome his natural instincts to slit your throat. That was what really would make him a hero, not his abilities to beat you up. The fighting was what he lived for". The writers had to really push the envelope to justify this this character, an angry violent killer, into an honorable hero that people would look up to, while still keeping his blood thirst there. Such a balance of intense good and intense evil is probably what fascinates people to this character and made him such a fan favorite. He stopped being an angry idiot, and started being a viscous man who always had to hold his anger in check, but be honorable enough to stay with the X-men (a group meant to portray heroes). Then stories about his anger explaining his rage, how he was the loose cannon in the group always with a short fuse. The justification of claws being part of his body took his backstory places. What if he has a healing factor to allow him to survive popping his claws? What if he's really old? Lacing his bones with adamantium seems to have been inspired by the concept of "what if his bones didn't heal? How about we have his bones reinforced?" etc. There was also talk about Sabertooth being his father, but everybody had guessed that this was true back in the day, so there would be no twist. Thus Sabertooth was written to be his brother. The reason why he was called Weapon X (Weapon 10), was because he was the tenth attempt at recreating the super soldier, with Weapon I (Weapon 1) being Captain America. There's tons to talk about the character, but I think I'd better stop writing. Here's two links that go into detail about Wolverine secretsbehindthexmen.blogspot.com/2012/01/wolverines-secret-origin.html blog.gocollect.com/john-byrnes-best-wolverine/ Lastly here's a little tidbit about Wolverine's original name (Logan). He's the shortest Canadian character, and the twist is he was named after the tallest mountain in Canada, Mount Logan!

I’d like to see a “Wolferine”. When you were talkin about Dracula and that enemy wolf thing

#9 (9:11) THANK YOU!!!! That's just one of his many abilities that's often overlooked and underrated ..

I hope his next iterations in the movies have him be more of a martial artist and super spy. Ive often considered Wolverine to be a short surly James Bond. And it would also be noce if he used other weapons along with his claws.

I feel like you missed a whole movie(if we're going off of movies) called "The Wolverine", in which the CEO of Sony reduces Logan's healing power in an attempt to steal it this making him mortal. If that hadn't happened, I would guess the adamantium might not have poisoned him at all.

Hugh Jackman is the best most dedicated superhero actor of all time FIGHT ME

Bob Hoskins was a fantastic actor, he was intimidating as hell in “enemy at the gates.” Hell, I could see him playing the wolverine, maybe old man Logan haha

Wolverine actually killed all of them in the comics.. that’s how powerful and skilled he is

Actually the "Logan" who killed James Howletts "father" was really his daddy the whole time he only found out when he stabbed him wit bone the claws

Ripped in half? So are we going to ignore him coming back from being at ground zero of a nuclear explosion?

In the early 90's there was talks of a Wolverine movie with Clint Eastwood to play the part. He would have fitted perfectly at the time.

i thought some of his rage was due to the adamantium poisoning and condition of weapon x... which with some help he mostly got over, he's still traumatized over some accidents
