15 Superhero Voice Actors Who Totally Nailed Their Characters
15. Steven Blum: Wolverine
Marvel
Steve Blum may not have been the first to voice the character in animation, or even in video games, but his voice is just so suited to him. Indeed, it's more than likely that you'll recognise the voice actor in a bunch of video game and cartoon-related projects, as he has one of the most recognisably gruff voices out there. A perfect fit, then, for old Canucklehead himself.
Funnily enough, Blum's first turn as Wolvie' came in 2004's X-Men Legends, a dungeon-crawler RPG set in the X-Men Universe. Successive appearances as the mutant followed, and Blum was rewarded with an animated appearance as the character in both Hulk Vs Wolverine and in Wolverine and The X-men.
He has since gone on to reprise the role in subsequent video game releases. No word on any animated followups, however, which is a shame as his voice is so well suited for the character.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
