10 Things Everyone Always Gets Wrong About Wolverine

9. What Came First, The Mask Or The Hair

Besides Wein's insistence that Logan is definitely not a highly evolved, marginally more intelligent wolverine, there is a lot about the character's origins that remain confusing and unexplained. Nobody can decide who exactly should take credit for creating Wolverine (which must cause a bit of a headache for Marvel's royalties division) (lol there's no such thing), whether he should have a different origin story from the one he was eventually blessed with (for a time John Byrne planned for him to be related to Sabertooth, until he realised they didn't look at all alike), and where the hair came from. It seems obvious that that the hair would have been created alongside the mask, since one follows the shape of the other. That would make sense in-universe, at least; in fact Logan wasn't seen without his mask on for so long that Byrne's plans to make Sabertooth his daddy made sense at first. It wasn't until months after his first appearance that Dave Cockrum drew him sans disguise, with the distinctive haircut intact. Fun fact: the larger pointy headpiece was an accident, compared to Batman's ears, which Cockrum incorporated into said iconic hairstyle.
