17. His Claws Weren't Real
Being a teenager wasn't the strangest thing creator Len Wein considered for Wolverine however. Early ideas included him being a wolverine that had somehow mutated into a humanoid creature, similar to something like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. As if that wasn't already weird enough, the now iconic claws would have been revealed as gloves with the weapons attached to them, robbing Wolverine of arguably his most recognisable feature (and that classic "Snikt!" sound). The story behind how he actually got those metal claws wouldn't be revealed until the early '90s and had been a mystery until then.
