He's short, angry, hairy, and murderous, but Wolverine has got some wisdom to share.
The short version
- One of the secrets to Wolverine's enduring popularity, both in Marvel's comics and in various adaptations, is that there are two distinct versions of the character.

Why it matters
This Logan is hard to like, but once you get the obligatory fight over with, he's a good man to have on your side.
