10 Mind-Blowing Facts You Didn't Know About Wolverine

8. ...And His Claws Would've Been Fake!

Wolverine's claws have been through loooaaadddsss of ret-cons over the years, and mostly for the better.

Today, most readers will know that Wolverine possessed bone claws before he entered the Weapon X program, and that he emerged from that program with an indestructible skeleton without his memories. However, that wasn't how things were originally intended, and it wasn't until 1994's infamous Fatal Attractions arc where Magneto ripped the adamantium from Wolverine's body that it was revealed Logan had bone claws from the start.

Before that arc, it was assumed that Wolverine got his claws from whatever process gave him his indestructible skeleton. But surprisingly, even that wasn't the original plan.

It was artist John Romita Sr. who decided that Wolverine's claws should be retractible, but originally, both he and Wein had thought that they would be a part of his gauntlets, which would also be made of adamantium. It wasn't until 1976's X-Men #98 where Chris Claremont would reveal that Logan's claws were actually a part of his anatomy, thus changing the character forever, and making him twice as cool.
