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

18. He Was Supposed To Be A Teenager

Wolverine made his Marvel Universe debut in the pages of an issue of The Incredible Hulk back in 1974. He remained in costume for the entire battle, and was something of a mystery. Long before the version fans all know and love was revealed, the plan was for the mutant to only have enhanced senses and an animal rage, but even more surprising than that is the fact that Wolverine was also going to be a teenager! That obviously would have changed the character's dynamic in a major way and it's hard to imagine him ever having become one of the core leaders of the X-Men years later had this happened.
