10 Most Inappropriate Wolverine Storylines Ever

8. Logan Framed For Murder - X-Men Noir

Wolverine The Punisher Aim Low
Marvel Comics

The whole Marvel Noir concept introduced in 2009 is a fun, stripped back look at an alternative Marvel realm - that'd be Earth-90214 - during the 1930s.

With the majority of this world's characters left without their traditional powers and abilities, here Wolverine is a grizzled Private Detective with a murky past of bootlegging and being the former lover of Jean Grey. As for Jean and the rest of the X-Men, they're a group of sociopaths under the charge of controversial psychiatrist Charles Xavier.

This version of the X-Men are criminals, and nobody is as good at the criminal life as Jean is. Here, Grey is the mastermind of so many nefarious schemes, with one such scheme being to fake her own death and make it look as if Logan had killed here. A master of deception and a manipulator of men, this Jean is a veritable chameleon who is out for nothing but personal gain.

Making this framing ordeal notably gnarly, Jean used Wolverine-esque claws to mutilate the body of this world's version of Rogue - with that being the dead body found at the start of this tale and initially believed to be Jean's corpse.
