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

4. In One Universe, He Was In A Relationship With Hercules

As was just mentioned, Wolverine is quite the romantic. And while he's been depicted as exclusively having heterosexual relationships in the main Marvel universe, it seems as though the rule doesn't apply to every version of the character.

In fact, it actually looks as though Logan and Hercules - a canonically bisexual character in the main 616 continuity - are an item in Earth-12025, as seen in the pages of X-Treme X-Men.

In this continuity, Wolverine and Hercules were considered the two greatest heroes the world had seen, but they were forced to keep their relationship a secret, as Zeus doesn't exactly take kindly to gods who consort with mortals. They're eventually banished to the pits of Tartarus, and aren't reunited until a group of multi-dimensional X-Men recruit them to their ranks.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
