10 Things Everyone Gets Wrong About Wolverine
3. He Has No Friends, Only Teammates
Again, due to his Clint Eastwood-eque lone wolf shtick, many audiences have this misconception that, even while on multiple Marvel teams, Wolverine is largely friendless. While he does have more teammates than actual friends, he's got quite a few he considers worth his time off the battlefield.
The most notable one, counted as his best friend over the course of his adventures in the Marvel universe, is Nightcrawler, or Kurt Wagner. The misfit blue mutant has earned himself the nickname "Elf" and counts as one of Logan's closest friends with whom he shares a long history. Kurt's optimism and religious beliefs are a great foil to Logan's cynicism too.
Apart from Kurt, characters like Kitty Pryde and Jubilee have earned Logan's friendship and mentorship as a sort of father-slash-grumpy uncle figure, and characters like Storm and Charles Xavier have earned his love and respect. He also formed a solid friendship with Steve Rogers way back in World War II!
Over time, he's also been known to enjoy adventures with Spider-Man, as well as Deadpool, and considers them both friends as well, even if 'friend' sometimes means 'general annoyance' when it comes to the merc' with a mouth.
