10 Things Marvel Wants You To Forget About Wolverine
10. His Attempts At Disguise
The original Wolverine series is a lot of fun, with adventures mixing superheroics with pulp fiction and cameos from heroes like Jessica Drew and the Hulk. However, the concept the series is based around is incredibly dumb.
The series came out in the 80's, during a period when everyone thought the X-Men were dead. Now obviously, Wolverine running around in bright yellow spandex would blow their cover, so he had to adopt a cunning disguise. What he did instead was slap on an eyepatch and call himself Patch Logan.
Now sure, no-one would ever think twice that say Patch Rogers, one-eyed owner of the Princess Bar, was actually Captain America. That's because, out of costume, Steve Rogers is a pretty nondescript looking guy. Logan on the other hand, without his costume, is still a 5'4 bundle of hairy anger with a haircut that defies physics and knives coming out of his hands.
And don't think for a second that Logan took any pains to hide his powers, he'd happily pop his claws whenever there was trouble and then loudly proclaim that his healing factor would protect him from harm.
Still it was better than his crime-fighting outfit, a black leotard that made him look like he was on his way to ballet practice, complimented with a fishnet mask.
