10 Things Everyone Gets Wrong About Wolverine
8. His Height
Now this is an old argument, but one that non-comic fans may not have picked up on over the years. Hugh Jackman is a near perfect Wolverine for the cinema, but not entirely accurate, for one very obvious reason: he's an entire whopping foot taller than Wolverine in the comics and animated TV series, who is one of Marvel's shorter heroes at 5'3".
He's much smaller than your average Canadian man, and even a bit shorter than your average Canadian woman. It absolutely doesn't detract from just how intimidating he can really be, but it's the kind of size difference that many artists forget is much, much more visible when he stands beside his teammates, especially with his semi-regular arguments with the 6'3" Scott Summers.
It certainly lends credence to the idea that short people are generally more aggressive.
Jokes aside, the idea that one of Marvel's most iconic and intimidating fighters doesn't need to be taller than most of his peers to stand tall among them is a heartening thought.
