Lists about the Marvel mutant known as Logan. 

Comics

Inspired by one of Wolverine&rsquo;s most treasured comic book adventures, the 2017 film simply titled&nbsp;Logan&nbsp;is easily one of the best comic book films ever made.&nbsp;A (formerly) out of continuity tale set in a dystopian future, Old Man Logan was originally a miniseries written by Mark Millar and drawn by Steve McNiven&nbsp;(an all-star creative team if there ever was one)&nbsp;and was released by Marvel in 2008.

Throughout the eight-issue series, an aged and grey-haired Logan made his way on an epic road trip through a dystopian Marvel universe. Along the way, the Canucklehead met some bizarre allies, terrifying villains, and enough tragedy and horror to make Shakespeare cringe. There are countless amazing aspects of&nbsp;Old Man Logan but, unfortunately, the film wasn&#39;t a direct adaptation, as the vast majority of great moments from the comics didn&#39;t make the jump to the silver screen. This is mostly because Logan is a Fox film, and the rights to all the good stuff is owned by Marvel Studios.

X-Men

The&nbsp;X-Men&nbsp;universe has expanded so much within the last two decades.&nbsp;With a wide array of characters, plots, and multiple timelines, it&#39;s no wonder why&nbsp;they&nbsp;have such a dedicated&nbsp;fanbase.&nbsp;One of&nbsp;fandoms&#39; most favorite things&nbsp;to do is come up with fan theories, and when it comes to the X-Men there are definitely&nbsp;a lot of them.&nbsp;We managed to round up some of the most interesting fan theories surrounding our favorite adamantium-clawed mutant.

Which Wolverine&nbsp;fan theories do you think are the most believable? Vote up your favorites below!

Marvel Comics

Sometimes, the corniest jokes on the Internet are the best. These corny Wolverine memes are full of puns and comic stereotypes that will never escape the Internet, no matter how many new meme formats come about.&nbsp;

Take a look below and vote up the corny Wolverine memes you laughed a little too hard at.

Wolverine has been a comic book fan darling since he appeared in Incredible Hulk #181 about a thousand years ago, but it’s time to face the facts:&nbsp;Wolverine sucks. He’s not the worst comic book character in history or anything as hyperbolic as that (that would be <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/why-deadpool-is-the-worst/jacob-shelton">Deadpool</a>), but he’s definitely not great.Logan shouldn’t even be in consideration for your long list of favorite <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-superheroes-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">comic book characters</a>, and if he is then you need to read more comic books. While it may have been fun to see Wolverine murder everyone he came across throughout the '90s and early 2000s, the bloom is&nbsp;off the rose and it’s time to remove the scales from your eyes and see that Mssr. Wolverine just isn’t very cool.There’s nothing wrong with liking Wolverine, the X-Men mascot and ultra hairy tough guy, but if you live in reality then you’re aware that he’s just straight-up&nbsp;not cool. He’s barely even a good character. His brand of machismo laced BS may have passed for what makes an interesting character when Rob Liefield was still relevant, but that era of comics is dead and buried. It’s finally time to realize that Logan isn’t interesting or fun. There’s nothing challenging about his character and you know it’s true. Start throwing away all of your collectible Wolverine holograph covers and start voting on the points you agree with and vote down the points you disagree with. Also, to reiterate:&nbsp;Wolverine isn’t as cool as you think he is.

Who is X-23? If you&#39;ve been reading the comics, you know she&#39;s the titular character in&nbsp;<a href="http://marvel.com/comics/series/20682/all-new_wolverine_2015_-_present">All-New Wolverine</a>. What happened to the old Wolverine? Well, he&#39;s dead. Yes, it&#39;s sad, but the new one is pretty damn capable. She&#39;s Logan&#39;s clone, minus the unavailable Y chromosome, manufactured in the labs of the nefarious Facility to continue the Weapon X program.

Unfortunately for the Facility, X-23, a.k.a. Laura Kinney, broke free of her shackles, went on a rampage, and took over the mantle of the Wolverine. But is she truly worthy of the title? Well, that&#39;s for you to decide.&nbsp;

So read on to discover bad*ss X-23 moments from Marvel Comics. Find out just who Laura Kinney is and how she stacks up against her predecessor. And then vote up the moments you think might make her the Wolverine we all deserve.

Memes

Long before the MCU became the monolithic empire of superhero movies it is today,&nbsp;Marvel had the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/list-of-all-uncanny-x-men-members/super-hero-teams" target="_blank">X-Men</a>. (Well, the studio didn&#39;t, but that&#39;s a whole other story.) For over 15 years, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/ryan-reynolds-and-hugh-jackman/ddefrank" target="_blank">Hugh Jackman</a> graced our screens as Wolverine. Jackman was everything we could ever want in a superhero - and we still miss him dearly.&nbsp;Luckily the memories&nbsp;and the memes live on. These are the best Wolverine memes.&nbsp;

Superheroes

Wolverine has lived a very long life, which would really help explain why he&#39;s had so many relationships in the past century or so. And with joining the X-Men (which, ironically, is filled with women), you&#39;re bound to spark a relationship with someone. Here, we take a look back at his laundry list of Wolverine&rsquo;s girlfriends, some have even become his wife.

One of Wolverine&rsquo;s most notable relationships is with fellow X-Man, Jean Grey. Wolverine and Jean Grey had a flirty relationship ever since Wolverine teamed-up with the X-Men, which makes Jean&#39;s boyfriend/husband super jealous (and is probably why Wolverine and Cyclops don&#39;t get along that well). He&#39;s also been forced to slay her more than once, as Jean Grey has a habit of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/how-many-times-has-jean-grey-resurrected/stephanroget" target="_blank">resurrecting as an all-powerful cosmic being</a>. Another X-Men member Wolverine knocked boots with his Storm. Wolverine and Storm also had a flirty relationship, but after Storm got divorced from Black Panther, they took their relationship to the next level. While no one knows exactly how old Wolverine is, these relationships span his entire life and alternate universes.

Believe us, though, the train doesn&#39;t stop with them. Wolverine&#39;s been engaged, married, had a homosexual relationship, and even had kids with a few lucky ladies. His children have even become major characters in recent years. Sad to say, though, most of Wolverine&rsquo;s girls end up dead... so maybe they really shouldn&#39;t be described as &quot;lucky.&quot;&nbsp;

Who is Wolverine&#39;s best lover? You get to help decide who is the best girlfriend of Wolverine. Vote up your favorite lovers of Wolverine.&nbsp;Make sure to vote the ones down you don&rsquo;t see Wolverine starting up a future with.&nbsp; After you are finished with this list, head on over and vote on <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-many-girlfriends-of-peter-parker-and-spider-man/ranker-comics?var=2&amp;utm_expid=16418821-322.OW_JXwpwRv6TKZPZq3pKRw.1" target="_blank">Spider-Man&#39;s girlfriends</a>.

Comic Books

Since his start in The Incredible Hulk #180 comic book, Wolverine, one of the most popular <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/top-marvel-comics-superheroes?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Marvel Comics characters</a>, has never been known as the most fashionable guy. Over the past forty years, having joined both the X-Men and Avengers, his many costumes have ranged from actual whiskers being on his mask, to a torn-to-shreds costume matching his feral look.&nbsp;What are the best Wolverine costumes in Wolverine costume history?Gil Kane illustrated the cover to Giant-Size X-Men #1, and accidentally added the bigger ears to his mask and left out the whiskers.

Funny

Wolverine has undergone a strange transformation over the course of the last few decades. Fans will enjoy <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/wolverine-trivia/ranker-comics">lesser known facts about Wolverine</a> and the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/wolverine-being-a-jerk/erik-barnes">most messed up things Wolverine has done in comics</a>. While he began as the ultimate Mary Sue, the bestest character that can never be beaten and has all the coolest powers, he’s then became reviled by comic nerds before being turned into an interesting character by writers who saw that he could actually have an interesting storyline every now and then. And all of that leads to the question: is Wolverine funny? He definitely cracks a lot of jokes, but is that a funny Wolverine or an annoying Wolverine?Thanks to writers like Matt Fraction, Joss Whedon, and Waren Ellis, the last decade has been kind to the adamantium-clawed practical joker. Sometimes the writers have had to change his character completely to make him funny, but then other times Wolverine was hilarious just being his grumpy old self. Keep reading and vote on the best, strangest times when Wolverine was actually kind of really funny.&nbsp;

For a supposedly <a href="/list/deadpool-vs-wolverine-healing-factor/stephanroget" target="_blank">unkillable mutant</a>, the amount of times Wolverine has died is kind of ridiculous. Fans of the man they call Logan have already seen multiple Wolverine deaths in comics and even on the big screen, but time and again he returns to&nbsp;the pages of Marvel Comics.

In between those brief flirtations with the afterlife, <a href="/list/wolverine-killing-innocent-people/jacobybancroft" target="_blank">Wolverine kills</a> indiscriminately and is&nbsp;no stranger to&nbsp;absorbing all manner of physical punishment. His mutant healing factor is a convenient plot device for any writer who wants to unleash horrific acts of violence on the&nbsp;character.

Wolverine is the best at what he does, and what he does is suffer gruesome injuries.

Marvel has given Wolverine many opportunities to shine as a hero, but there are plenty of moments of Wolverine being a d*ck. He may be the best there is at what he does, but sometimes what he does best is act like a jerk. He&#39;s betrayed friends, eliminated family members, and has inflicted unforgivable cruelties. In his tenure as a mutant superhero, he&#39;s also done some truly weird stuff, even if it isn&#39;t exactly d*ckish.

Take a look at this list of the some of the worst things Wolverine has done and vote up the ones that really aren&#39;t heroic at all.

Chloe Bridges

Well, we knew it would have to happen eventually. A casting call will soon be put out for a new actor to play the role of <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/wolverine-being-a-jerk/erik-barnes">Wolverine</a>. Yes, unlike his onscreen counterpart, Hugh Jackman&nbsp;does age like everyone else&nbsp;(although considerably better than most). And so, the man who has so vividly brought to life the raw physicality, volatile anger,&nbsp;and heroic spirit&nbsp;of Logan has announced that, after the next solo <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/wolverine-trivia/ranker-comics">Wolverine</a> movie, he will be hanging up his claws.

So, what does the future hold&nbsp;for one of the central protagonists of the X-Men movies? We can probably all agree that the franchise would suffer without the character.&nbsp;Wolverine is the heart and soul of the X-Men,&nbsp;not to mention the most badass of the bunch.&nbsp;He must be replaced. But who amongst Hollywood&#39;s elite could fill those adamantium&nbsp;bones? This Wolverine&nbsp;fancast&nbsp;list is designed to answer that question.

Luckily, the choices for <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/fantasy-casting-mcu-x-men/joedonley" target="_blank">actors who could play Wolverine</a> are doubled from what they were back in the late &#39;90s, when the first X-Men film was cast. If you&#39;ve been following the comics, you know there is a new Wolverine in town, and she don&#39;t do mutton chops. Her name is <a href="http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/X-23">X-23</a>, and she&#39;s <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/gender-swapped-comic-book-characters/whitneysmoore">Logan&#39;s female clone</a>, created as part of the nefarious Weapon X program. After the recent comic event, &quot;<a href="http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Death_of_Wolverine">The Death of Wolverine</a>&quot; (Spoiler alert: <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/most-shocking-moments-in-comics/ranker-comics">Wolverine died</a>!), X-23 inherited the yellow spandex and all the attitude and turmoil that comes with it. And the films may be taking a cue from the comics, as X-23 is rumored to make an appearance in Wolverine 3.

So, whether they pass the claws on to a new female Wolvie, or reboot the character with another hairy brute, one thing remains certain: whoever is chosen has to be the best at what he (or she) does, and what they do best must be to look good on screen while sneering and goring bad guys. In the meantime, let&#39;s indulge in some Wolverine fantasy casting, shall we? Here are the most promising candidates for a claw fitting. And, as always,&nbsp;vote up the actor or actress that makes your claws pop!

Villains

List of Wolverine's most infamous foes, ranked by the fans. For a little Canadian guy, Wolverine sure has a lot of enemies and villains. Bad guys like Sabretooth, Omega Red, and Lady Deathstrike have been ruining Wolverine's life since 1974. Wolverine himself has done his share of misdeeds, but nothing like his villains. Heck he's even fought other heroes!Which is Logan's greatest bad guy? Do you like Wolverine against a squadron of foes like HYDRA, or do you prefer one on one battles such as the Silver Samurai?Vote up all of your favorite Wolverine enemies, and vote down the ones you don't think are worth his time.

One of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-superheroes-all-time" target="_blank">most recognizable comic book characters</a>, Wolverine holds a dear place in many a geek&#39;s hearts, particularly because Wolverine story arcs usually involve more than just heroes fighting villains. Well, to be fair, Wolverine storylines&nbsp;do&nbsp;typically come with a handy dosage of carnage and whoopa**, but these characteristics serve to enhance the plot lines and <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/funniest-moments-wolverine-comics/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">humor of Wolverine graphic novels</a>. Logan, aka James Howlett&nbsp;to some, hails from a sordid past that even he remains a bit unsure of, which makes Wolverine a bit gruff around the edges. But when Wolverine stories break past his rugged exterior, they reveal a complex, damaged character whose inherent animal impulses force him to face as many personal struggles as he does external ones.

The very best Wolverine comics place&nbsp;this <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/wolverine-being-a-jerk/erik-barnes" target="_blank">messed-up character</a> into situations that challenge his moral abilities as much as they do his physical ones. Even still, usually Logan pulls through using a combination of physical prowess, a remarkable healing factor, and the fighting spirit of an actual wolverine. Better get out of his way, bub.

He’s the ragin’ Canadian, the ol’ Canucklehead, and the best there is at what he does, bub. Sometimes he goes by Logan, other times it’s James Howlett&nbsp;and, often, he’s known by reputation alone. <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/wolverine-trivia/ranker-comics">The Wolverine</a> is not just one of the most notable superheroes in the world, but he’s now one of the most famous and well-known fictional characters, period. Wolverine’s basic attributes, like his claws, his healing factor, and his bad attitude, are widely recognizable, and his masterful <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/which-actor-should-play-next-wolverine/jacob-shelton">portrayal by Hugh Jackman&nbsp;in many X-Men films</a> has only helped his visibility. Wolverine is undoubtedly one of the most valuable properties that Marvel Comics owns, but it wasn’t always that way.The interesting thing about Wolverine’s climb to fame is how late of a start he got when compared to other superheroes. Classic characters like <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/reasons-batman-hates-superman/jacob-shelton?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Batman and Superman</a> got their start in the 1930s, Captain America was around in World War II, and even Silver Age heroes like Spider-Man and the Avengers showed up in the ’60s. Wolverine, on the other hand, didn’t make his first appearance until 1974. Despite this delay, Wolverine became popular almost immediately, and it wasn’t long before he was considered one of the very best Marvel had to offer. However, the character needed to experience plenty of change, growth, and development to become the Wolverine that he is today. Over the years, countless creators have contributed to crafting the mutant hero that we’ve all grown to love and admire.

Wolverine is arguably the most recognizable and prolific of all the X-Men. He's the best there is at what he does.&nbsp;As such, there are many different variations on the character and dozens of formats the character has been utilized in. Be it <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/8-awesome-videos-of-animals-playing-video-games/ariel-kana?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">video games</a>, films, <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-animated-series-ever-made?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">animated series</a>, or alternate versions of the man himself in comic books, Wolverine is in virtually every form of pop culture, in one way or another.We've decided to compile some of our favorites here. Do you like playing as Wolverine in Marvel vs Capcom more or in Wolverine: Adamantium Rage? Is &quot;Wolverine and the X-Men&quot; your favorite animated series or is the '90s Fox show? Do you like him better in solo films like The Wolverine or in team ensembles like X2?Here's the chance to see where it all lines up. What are the greatest interpretations of Wolverine ever? The game versions of Wolverine all have him as a playable character.&nbsp;Vote up your favorite alternate versions of Wolverine!

Wolverine isn't a simple character. One moment he may love his friends, the next he may hate them. He saves the day only slightly more than he finds ways to ruin it. He has layers, like an onion.&nbsp;He plays the part of hero, but he's also scarred by unspeakable tragedy and the image of Wolverine murdering innocent people isn't exactly rare. Wolverine will almost certainly never find happiness.Does Wolverine kill innocent people? You can't&nbsp;spend as much time killing as Wolverine does and not.&nbsp;Just review&nbsp;the Wolverine backstory&nbsp;and you'll find plenty of times when he&nbsp;hurts innocents, including many times when he did so reluctantly. A lot of the innocent people Wolverine has killed over the years have been out of necessity, out of mercy, or for the greater good. Wolverine's ability to make those tough decisions is another reason why we can't get enough of him.Read more to see examples of&nbsp;Wolverine murdering&nbsp;innocent people, and as you learn more about his&nbsp;back&nbsp;story, maybe you'll even wonder which side he's really on.
