Who is X-Men Hero Wolverine?

Wolverine, who first appeared in the 180th issue of The Incredible Hulk in 1974 and appeared with his full story in the next issue 181, clearly challenged the Green Giant in this story and although he lost the fight, he was included in the Marvel world with his bravery and audacity.

When John Romita Sr., Roy Thomas, and Len Wein, who created the character, first revealed Wolverine, the character was at a much different level in terms of power level than his current state. However, as he caught on very quickly and suddenly found himself in the X-Men and then the Avengers, this popularity made Wolverine's powers much more dimensional over time, and as of today, it has become almost impossible to defeat.

Wolverine, whose real name is James Howlett, is the son of John and Elizabeth Howlett, but his real father is Thomas Logan, a butler at the Howlett mansion. For this reason, the character, who often uses the name Logan and gave this name to the last movie in the X-Men cinema universe, has survived countless difficulties in his very long life.

Logan, who served in the Canadian army during World War I and attracted the attention of the state after his outstanding success, fought side by side with Captain America in World War II and a friendship was established between the two. Wolverine, who also lived in Japan between these two great wars, had a child named Daken from a relationship there, and Daken became an important character, especially in the recent Avengers stories.

Wolverine (birth name: James Howlett; alias: Logan and Weapon X) is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, often in association with the X-Men. He is a mutant with animal-keen senses, enhanced physical capabilities, a powerful regenerative ability known as a healing factor, a skeleton reinforced with the unbreakable fictional metal adamantium, and three retractable claws in each hand. In addition to the X-Men, Wolverine has been depicted as a member of X-Force, Alpha Flight, the Fantastic Four, and the Avengers. 

While working for the Canadian government, Wolverine was kidnapped by William Stryker, the head of the Weapon The character who somehow manages to escape from here will experience great difficulties with his erased memory and will have a particularly difficult time psychologically due to his dark past.

Logan, who has superhuman senses and powers, is a very wild character, especially with his animalistic instincts and behaviors. The healing power that comes from its mutant features, together with the adamantium added to its body, creates a creature that is very difficult to defeat. Although Wolverine needs a few hours to recover from multiple bullet wounds, this healing power develops over time and has recently become a character that can heal much deeper wounds in minutes or even seconds.

When his ability to fight one-on-one and use countless weapons, which he acquired during his time in Japan, is combined with his brutality, agility, healing feature, and adamantium claws, a war machine emerges. Logan, who has lived in numerous countries throughout his long life, speaks English, Russian, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, and French as his mother tongue, and can easily understand and communicate in many languages.

The common depiction of Wolverine is multifaceted; he is portrayed at once as a gruff loner, susceptible to animalistic “berserker rages” despite his best efforts, while simultaneously being an incredibly knowledgeable and intelligent polyglot, strategist, and martial artist, partially due to his extended lifespan and expansive lived experiences. He has been featured in comic books, films, animation, and video games.

Wolverine, who first appeared in the 2000 movie X-Men, became popular on the big screen in a very short time with the performance of Hugh Jackman. In fact, this was a bit of a coincidental success because the director of the film, Bryan Singer, had only one name in mind for the role of Wolverine before shooting the film: Dougray Scott. Although the director, who thought he could make a perfect Wolverine out of Scott and excitedly knocked on the actor's door, received a positive response, a film contract signed by Dougray Scott before X-Men did not make it possible for him to play this role. The actor, who was to play the villain in Mission Impossible 2, could not take part in X-Men, even though he wanted to, due to the conflicting set dates of the two films, and the role went to Hugh Jackman, Bryan Singer's second choice.

It is not easy to answer the question of what the current X-Men universe would be like if there was no MI 2 movie, but the performance of Hugh Jackman, who took the role, created a domino effect that changed the comic book adaptations in the cinema and even the comic book universe and the success of the actor created a truly special one. It created actor-role harmony.

With the success of X-Men, the sequel, X-Men 2, which came three years later, had an even greater impact and received better reactions than the first film. Especially in the movie, where Wolverine's role has increased a little more, Logan has started to become a role model for mutants with this production, after the movie three years ago. Bryan Singer's effort to highlight Wolverine and Storm, one of his few mistakes in these two movies, would have a bad impact on the third movie and open a new path, especially for Wolverine, but it was not easy to call this formula wrong at that time.

However, Bryan Singer, who left the director's chair after the second movie, was replaced by Brett Ratner, and the X-Men universe suffered greatly from this situation. Halle Berry, who played the role of Storm, threatened the studio by saying "I want a role that takes up more time", combined with Brett Ratner's bad direction, and the third movie of the X-Men, The Last Stand, ended with Storm and Wolverine acting like the parents of mutants. It turned into a disastrous movie.

Having missed the chance to make a great trilogy with this film, Fox wanted to make solo films based on the popular character Wolverine, and three years after The Last Stand in 2006, they embarked on a new path with the movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine in 2009. The movie, which tried to focus on Wolverine's origin, was a complete failure. The failure of the film, which could not serve any purpose other than giving justice to Sabretooth, one of the worst aspects of Bryan Singer's X-Men, forced Fox to make a renewal for the X-Men world.

X-Men: The First Class was an excellent work in this sense, but the absence of Wolverine in it led Fox, who wanted to continue to profit from this popular character to a second Wolverine solo movie. While The Wolverine was better than the first movie and was a movie that tried to take a look at Logan's Japanese days and managed to be watchable in this respect, the fact that it did not consciously reflect the brutality of the character on the screen left the production below standard. The studio, which did not show blood in the action scenes of such a wild character in both the X-Men and Solo Wolverine movies and believed that it could achieve high targets at the box office, caused great damage to the character's soul. The great success of Deadpool at the box office with its 18+ version caused Fox to realize this fact late, and the R-rated movie they shot together with the movie Logan, in which Hugh Jackman will play Wolverine for the last time, is not only one of the best comic book adaptations the big screen has ever seen. Not only did it not become one, but it also made Fox happy with the box-office success it brought. The movie, which was adapted very well in an extremely good story like Old Man Logan, showed the end of the character on the big screen, like The Death of Wolverine story, and Hugh Jackman said goodbye to this role in a very magnificent way.

Hugh Jackman's incredible success was not only focused on the big screen. Wolverine, who is actually a very short, stocky, and hunchbacked character, underwent a serious mutation in the comics along with Hugh Jackman's screen performance. Wolverine, who was drawn just like Hugh Jackman in The Ultimate With this change, which we saw in the story of The Joker written by Brian Azzarello after Heath Ledger's legendary Joker performance, the movies on the big screen proved to be an important source for the comic book universe.

Logan was Hugh Jackman's last film, but the acquisition of Fox's cinema division a few months ago by Disney, which also owns Marvel Studios, seems to include the X-Men world in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In this context, it is not known whether Hugh Jackman, who announced that he wants to take part in the same movie with the Avengers, will be given the role of Wolverine for the last time, but it is already known that a very new world awaits both the X-Men and Logan as a character after this acquisition. It seems certain.
