History Characters / XMenFilmSeriesWolverine

* LogicalWeakness: Pretty much every fight he has with Magneto ends about as well as you'd think a guy with a metal skeleton going up against a [[MagnetismManipulation Master of Magnatism]] would.

* OlderThanTheyLook: All because of his Super Healing Factor. He was born in 1832, but as of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he still physically appears to be a buff as hell late thirties/early forties. His powers constantly rejuvenate his cellular integrity rendering him seemingly ageless. He's not entirely immortal however; it's believed that he can age, just at an incredibly slow rate. By the events of ''{{Film/Logan}}'', he has a lot of grey hairs and dons glasses in order to read things.

** [[spoiler:''Literally'' towards Laura by the end of ''Film/{{Logan}}'', as she ''is'' his daughter.]]

* ImportantHaircut: Late in ''Film/Logan'', [[spoiler:when he collapses at Eden, the X-23 children take the opportunity to shave his unkempt hair into the classic Wolverine sideburns. Logan himself is not amused.]]

* KnightInSourArmor: The experiences he's endured, combined with his longevity, have turned him into a cold and jaded person. However he still rises to do the right thing in times of crisis because he has the means to, even if society doesn't like his kind and he returns the sentiment.

* HealingFactor: By the climax of ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', his flesh is being torn from his body at an alarming rate only to regenerate just as quickly. (This was explained in the novelization as being accelerated and enhanced even further than normal by the energy Jean was putting out.) He also survives a ''nuclear bomb'' in the opening of ''Film/TheWolverine'' and his body is left a charred and scalded mess from the affair. However, it seems like the film Wolverine's healing factor is not as absurd as the comic book Wolverine's healing factor, considering that decapitation is treated as a viable option in his solo films. But then again what could decapitate his Adamantium skeleton in the movie franchise? [[spoiler:''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' also presents drowning as an effective method, though he was fished out before it could take, with possibly up to 24 hours having passed.]] However, by the time that ''Film/{{Logan}}'' takes place, his healing factor is no longer as powerful as before, making his aging more visible and his body being heavily scarred and riddled with half-healed wounds, some of which are infected.

* BadassAndChildDuo: In ''Film/Logan'', where he reluctantly takes in X-23, his genetic daughter.

* AbsurdlySharpBlade: His claws, which are coated in adamantium. While not like his comic counterpart, especially since his claws are sharp only at the tips, they have been shown sharp enough to cut through flesh and bone in one strike, and is capable of cutting into rock. Shortly after he receives his adamantium infusion in ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'', he slices up several items in a farmhouse bathroom (including a porcelain sink) with his now impossibly sharp claws, despite applying what appears to be no more than the force required to move an unrestrained arm. [[spoiler:By the end of ''The Wolverine'', however, the injuries Wolverine sustained in his battle with the Silver Samurai leaves him with his normal bone claws. He somehow got them back in the BadFuture of ''Days of Future Past'', like via Magneto.]]

* FamousLastWords: [[spoiler:In ''Logan'', right before his death: "So...this is what it feels like."]]

* CompositeCharacter:
** While he is almost entirely derived from the mainstream version, his bone claws are more like his Ultimate counterpart.
** [[spoiler:In ''Film/{{Logan}}'' he takes on elements of Sarah Kinney from ''Comicbook/InnocenceLost'': Since Laura's birth mother remains anonymous in the film, he's the one with whom she develops a familial bond, and who dies as a result of Zander Rice's actions — in this case mortally wounded by his own clone, X-24. He then dies in Laura's arms, while telling her she can be better than what her creator's wanted her to be.]]

* PapaWolf: Towards Rogue and the children at the school.

* DrinkOrder: His strong preference for beer stems from his [[CanadaEh Canadian]] background, and it's also an indicator that he has lived for many years as a vagabond.
