One of the best origin stories imo, never get tired of reading it and there's so much to it. By far my favorite marvel character.... maybe after Deadpool

No way. It was awful and removed all of the mystery and as such stripped the character of everything that made him so interesting and popular. Sure, it was well written, but by revealing Logan's secret origins they basically changed the character. His enigmatic past was a MAJOR component of the character. Most of the best Wolverine stories were told pre Origins and thats no coincidence. And the really great Wolverine stories that have been told since are 'What if' type stories that take place in alternate universes.

@DOOMED ! He’s made not because he’s mysterious and brooding. It’s because everyone wants to know more about him.
How could u forget some of the most important things: 1. He was part of Alfa flight before he joined the X-men 2. He was a samari before he met captain America 3. He fort in WW1 and WW2 4. He became a CIA Agent (were he got his love for motor bikes) 5. He has learnt so many languages that he is some what considered to have gold toung (the ability to speak all languages)
Wolverine is my favorite Marvel character. he had a pretty hard life.

mrmacross Still, what does it matter? They're never gonna make future films on the original X-men anymore. So why bother with a retcon? It was pointless, yet everyone seems overjoyed by this, as if it actually makes any difference.

Xorgmaster You're right, it does nothing moving forward. However, I think a lot of fans can appreciate when a movie studio does a mea culpa and more or less admits that the last movie was absolutely terrible, and this is the closest thing they can say to it never happened. In addition, a lot of fans probably liked seeing the old cast one last time. As for me, I thought the DoFP was on par with the other Singer X-Men movies, and count me in as one of those who thought the third movie was so terrible that I'm happy it was undone, sort of. Of all the problems with DoFP, I'd say retconning out X3 was the least of its problems, and it's kind of nice that they're moving forward with younger X-Men without completely discarding continuity that fans of each of the previous movies, minus X3, enjoyed.

Have you guys ever considered doing something like "Beef History" for comic characters? Like the history of the beef/rivalry between characters. I'd love that. "History of beef between Wolverine and Sabertooth" for example. Give the history of what started the rivalry and shed light on the comic history verses the weird ass movie changes, lol. The possibilities would be endless. Magneto/Prof X, Doom/Reed Richards, Daredevil/Kingpin... etc etc
I would love to have this guy as my history teacher.

Arris almost got it right except for one detail: Roy Thomas came up with the name "Wolverine" and the idea to have him be a Canadian super-hero. Thomas was the editor at Marvel and he gave that basic concept to Wein and Romita (then the art director) to develop and the rest is history..
how about danny devito, he is small, would play an amazing wolverine!
What about Wolverine's possible son and daughter also with claws but in different parts of the body. Give us that story...

Thomas Logan was not his Wolverine's dad because he does not have the healing factor nor his mother given the scars on her ribs. But his grandfather had the claws.
There were things left out on his mutation. 1.his healing factor evolves, constantly improving every time he receives damage. the more he is shot the faster his healing factor will kick in to heal said wounds etc. 2.his healing factor can be overloaded by taking so much damage at once that it can go into shock leaving him vulnerable. 3.he is a mutation from a separate line of evolution being of the lupine mutation gene. most notable of this line includes Romulus, Sabretooth, and of course Daken. 4.this is one im honestly suprised that was left out is his berserker mode which sends him into a feral state ignoring pain and sending him in a frenzy heightening his brute strength and need to kill. though this is also a weakness because he is in a rage only giving into his primal urges making him a less efficient fighter which has resulted at times in the attack of allies, but it has also been shown to be able to break him out from telepathic controls.

I get it there is a height difference but he perfectly captured the essence of the wolverine character. And i can't think of anyone else doing a better job of wolverine. so stop this childish whining ...

@@redharrison894 He's 5'3" - 5'5" He's supposed to be short, even his creator says so. They made him short as they were given the name first and when they looked up what a wolverine was, they found out it was a *small* aggressive mammal with razor sharp claws that would dare to take on animals 10 times their size. Wolverine was short from Day 1, people have been calling him things like 'runt' in the comics since his debut. Being short is part of his character, otherwise he would be called lion or wolf or something.
Here's a question I've often thought on, if Magneto controls all metal through magnetism why does he not rip Logan's adamantium skeleton out of his body? Not only would it make him no longer a threat, but Magneto would have an amazing, indestructible weapon.

if i remember corrrectly, there's actually a storyline in which he does that and BAM! huge plot twist: wolverine becomes more faster, stronger and deadlier, why? turns out the adamantium was working as a poison in his system, always making his healing factor busy and not at its full potential, when it's removed, he moves faster for not having that weight and his healing factor improves a lot. I just read the story not the comic, so im not sure if it really happened and when or where and if it was a "what if story" or an alternate universe or whatever...

The one thing that always pisses me off about Wolverine is, he doesn’t have superhuman strength, but they always give him superhuman strength in the cartoons and comics. This is why it doesn’t make sense for him to get in battles with Sabertooth and especially the Incredible Hulk. A fight with the Hulk and wolverine should last no more than three seconds, just long enough for the Hulk to crush or rip him apart.

I liked everything in the video and agreed but I just have to ask, I know these history videos have so much information it couldn't cover all of it in its time restraints but I feel that Wolverine's time in the Alpha team(?) was it and his time in Japan are two incredibly crucial parts to his history and am wondering why it wasn't included or if those were omitted for one reason or another. And as always thanks for the great video!
