10 Most Badass Wolverine Moments

10. The Original Fastball Special - X-Men #100

One thing you need to understand about Wolverine is that he is short. Like, really short. Contrary to his portrayal on screen and in several comics made by artists who live in denial, Logan is a tiny ball of inhuman rage, like the world's deadliest chihuahua.

Which makes for some...strategic uses of the ole canucklehead when he's hanging out with the X-Men. Particularly, if he's hanging out with Colossus that week, then there's a chance you'll get to see the classic manoeuvre: the fastball special.

This hilarious classic stratagem first appeared in X-Men #100, when Wolverine went up to his buddy Colossus and told him to throw him at Angel (who they were fighting because if the X-Men aren't fighting each other for stupid reasons, they're probably all dead FROM fighting each other for stupid reasons). This proved to be such an effective idea that Wolverine kept it as a permanent part of his move-set when he's paired up with someone larger and stronger than him.

But that original appearance of the fastball special earns its place on this list for doing it first.
