Logan: 31 Easter Eggs & References You Must See

23. Wolverine: Cage Fighter And Drug Addict

Curiously, Professor X refers to Wolverine's origin as an X-Men, saying he remembers when "they found him", that he was training to be a cage fighter. Actually, he wasn't training to be a cage fighter at all and the X-Men didn't find him, he came to them with Rogue... but that origin does very much reference Logan's first appearance fighting in a cage in a bar for money.

He also mentions that Logan was a drug addict, abusing barbiturates, which some Wolverine fans might say makes no sense as his healing factor would make drug abuse impossible (just as he shouldn't be able to get drunk). BUT, the drug use actually happened in the comics.

Before he became Weapon X, Logan became obsessed with his mutation and took drugs when he became disillusioned to test the extent of his healing factor.
