There used to be this character called Wolverine. He was based as hell and not afraid to do his own thing and he was pretty much my favorite superhero from the age of 4. The great thing about him was watching him evolve--from an angry, arrogant character to a wiser hero who had room for others in his life, who could even be a mentor. Then some time in the early 21st Century, Wolverine disappeared. There were all these watered-down versions running around who were like little fragments of the original character--usually the most obnoxious, late-70s version. You barely saw a glimpse of the guy who was developed by creators like Claremont, Frank Miller, and Larry Hama. Nowadays you can't even get something that says Wolverine on the label; it's Girlverine and Greyverine and Jimverine, like a world without Coke Classic. Sucks but at least he went out right around the time Cyclops stopped being a little bitch and got extremely good.

I take it you didn't like the movie Logan.

ha ha.. and now a word from our sponsor..

I like Wolverine because he's comic power creep done right, it's canon that the dude is a black op, ww2 soldier, cowboy, samurai, Avenger, fantastic 4, teacher, bartender, X-Man. But they play it straight faced and it never seems like he's OP or underpowered. He can be the leader of the team while also being the team's Tank/DPS. at least that's why I like him, some like him because he screws with Cyclops or is an immortal jobbing punching bag.

For a brief period roughly around his first solo title when he struck the right balance of competent but flawed. Before he was just an unlikable, useless cunt and afterwards he quickly started to develop into what finally became an overpowered sacrosaint meme who appeared in 7 books at the same time.

Frankly, I think he's a great character -- the only true breakout, iconic, character of the modern era. I don't argue with the folks who think he was over-exposed, they have a point, but the real problem is that the increasingly poor writing of Wolverine was actually the first warning sign that Marvel was turning to shit and that their writers were a pack of idiots -- if not saboteurs.

Also, I love how so many fans are just convinced that if Wolverine is just out of the picture, then their favorite B, C, or D-list mutant character would suddenly have their opportunity to SHINE. I'm looking forward to the massive success of the current Iceman comic.

Sort of? I liked late 80s-late 90s Wolverine, when he was essentially a pulpy noir character in a superhero world. He had so much versatility and heart back then, he was like the cool uncle of the Marvel Universe.

It's funny. They aren't exactly right, but with all these Wolverine spin-offs they're not being proven wrong either.
