* BreakoutCharacter: Come on, it's Wolverine! He has appeared in many films of the two series, not to mention having his own trilogy of spin-off films centered on his solo adventures. Even in ''Film/{{Deadpool|2016}}'', in which he doesn't appear, the titular character brings him up (and Hugh Jackman) a lot, mainly due to the Merc with a Mouth considering Wolverine (or Hugh Jackman) a SitcomArchNemesis of sorts to him, and [[spoiler:''Film/Deadpool2'' features him via archive footage from ''X-Men Origins: Wolverine'' when Deadpool time-travels to kill Weapon XI]]. Finally, ''Film/DeadpoolAndWolverine'' sees him appear with Deadpool in a live action film for the first time.

Logan's past self from 1973, who's body he takes over to prevent the dystopian future where the sentinels exist.

* TheProtagonist: Unofficially. Though the X-men film series doesn't have an official protagonist, Logan is the closest thing, with the most screen time, most movie appearances, and even has several solo movies dedicated specifically to his character, which most other characters don't get. He even gets a cameo in ''First Class'', a movie that he doesn't really need to be in (but fanservice says otherwise).

* BroadStrokes: The version that appears in ''Logan'' is this to the Logan of the main films: he has experienced all the same major events such as Weapon X, the battle at the Statue of Liberty in the first film, and the events of ''The Wolverine'', while deleted scenes imply that he killed Jean Grey like in ''The Last Stand'' and that Sabretooth was his half-brother like in ''Origins''. However he doesn't seem to have experienced the events of ''Days of Future Past'', with the ''Logan'' timeline seemingly diverging from the primary timeline after Weapon X, and instead lived in a differed BadFuture.

* AgeLift: Hard to notice given his powers, but this version of Logan is ''much'' older than his 616 counterpart. In the comics, Wolverine was a child in the late 1880s, whereas the movie version manifested his powers in the 1840s and was a grown man fighting in the American Civil War.

* 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}}'', at the fine age of ''[[Really700YearsOld 195]]'', he has a lot of grey hairs and dons glasses in order to read things.

* InSpiteOfNail: Despite the very different circumstances, Logan still ends up being experimented on, gaining his adamantium skeleton and eventually joining the X-Men.
