eh? wrong!

in fact megnato pulls out the admantium OUT of wolverine.

Ok, you win.

You = Bigger comic nerd.


heh yeap. sadly i spent lots and lots of money buying comics.
I admit I spent alot of money on comics too, Xmen in particular! :D I wish they could keep making these movies until all the storylines have been done. Morlock Massacre, Mr. Sinister, Apocolypse, The Reavers and Australia, Sentinels...and my favorite, Genosha.

Alot of money I dropped into comics :eek:

ahh yeah.

apocolypse series would be great!

Which almost elminated his mutant ability to heal fast. Prior to when Magneto ripped out the adamantium Wolverine's healing ability was as quick as portrayed in the movies..

wait...we are talking about a COMIC book here..:eek: Hugh Jackman is the perfect Wolverine. Now I don't think anyone can pull it off but him.

What? That's not right at all.

After he healed from having the adamantium pulled out, his healing ability was actually INCREASED, since his body wasn't always fighting the adamantium metal on his bones. It was just that he was weaker and couldn't take as big of a hit... ie get hit by a car.

right it slowed down teh healing factor. wich as a side affect of getting it pulled out he continued to mutate into the beast.

How was Wolverine created? Gov't project? For some reason I don't think he was a natural born mutant, but created by Striker. Can someone clear this up?

With no skeletal structure how did he survive or move?

He already had the mutant healing factor, which is why he was chosen for the Weapon X project.

He still had bones, they just weren't reinforced with adamantium any longer.

well that did bother me at the start. considering wolverine was 5'2" (or around there) and like 300lbs (with admintium). but i have ot admit be hard to find someone like that.

Glenn Danzig? They actually picked him first, he's 5'5" and muscular.

Actually, Dougray Scott was originally cast to be Wolverine. Schedule conflicts with MI:2 forced a recast to Hugh Jackman.

Danzig was never officially cast as Wolverine but he was a fanboy favorite.

Probally went with a taller wolverine so he looked more 'leaderesque' or have a larger screen presence.

I've always read that Danzig was offered the part, but never accepted.

He did eventually get it back. Apocalypse brainwashed Sabretooth and Wolverine and made them fight each other to determine the new leader of the Four Horsemen. Wolverine won, and Apocalypse took the admantium from Sabertooth's body (or claws or whatever) and put it on Wolverine.

I don't know if he was ever 5'2''. He just slouched always. Are they making a wolverine movie? What would be the point?

A little off track, but with all of the collective nerdery in here I have to ask, what happened to Nightcrawler??? One of you experts have to know. Did I miss something? He was still alive in X2, no?

They didn't put him in X3 because the cast was too large already and they wanted to add Beast and give Kitty and Collossus more screen time. He's in the X3 videogame though which is supposed to give some filler story between X2 and X3.

Then there's the incredible hulk, who in the TV show was way less powerful than in the comics. In the movie they got it right, though. In one crossover comic, wolvering actually jumped through the hulk who immediately healed.

Because Hugh Jackman is "hot".

I remember an interview with alanwhateverhisnameis the actor who played nightcrawler.

He said he would never go through the torture of the makeup again. Between him and Mystique the makeup crew really earned their moneys worth.
