* ''ComicBook/WildCATSWildStorm'':

* In addition, on said teams they may be [[BettyAndVeronica the "Veronica"]] in a LoveTriangle, especially with another [[TheCape more straight-laced hero]]. This dynamic may extend to the character acting as TheLancer and fighting with TheLeader for the attentions of TheChick.

** ComicBook/{{Lobo}} was created as a taken UpToEleven parody of Wolverine being a NinetiesAntiHero with a ridiculous HealingFactor taken to FromASingleCell levels. The ''ComicBook/MarvelVersusDC'' {{Crossover}} event even pairs him and Wolverine against each other where... [[TheWorfEffect Wolverine somehow ends up winning]] [[note]] IN the real world it was a popularity contest to decide who won. In-universe Lobo was paid to throw the fight.[[/note]]

* Despite not looking like it at [[ChainsawGood first glance]], Denji from ''Manga/ChainsawMan'' fits several criteria. For one he features a [[AnimalMotif canine motif]] both in terms of behavior as well as his Devil Pochita whose contract and merging of Denji parallels Logan's adamantinum surgery. He also fights in a wild, savage style and is paired with a straight-laced rival (Aki) who like him pines for their red-headed boss Makima. Finally Denji shares Logan's [[CartwrightCurse rotten luck with women]] such as the aforementioned Makima [[spoiler: who turns out to be the [[BigBad Control Devil]]]] as well as Reze who [[spoiler: turns out the be the a Bomb-hybrid assassin]] and [[spoiler: dies ironically at Makima's hands]].

* Raphael in every adaptation of ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' fits this trope as well. Easily angered, butts heads with his brother Leonardo and even his choice of weapons are an analog to Wolverine's claws.

* Believe it or not, the eponymous character of ''Manga/{{Inuyasha}}'' fits this trope like a glove. He's long-lived, difficult to kill, prone to berserker rages, and has SuperSenses including [[TheNoseKnows a strong sense of smell]]. In battle, he mostly uses a sword, and he also has razor-sharp claws. Inuyasha had a love interest that was killed by a hated archenemy, and he even has an antagonistic older brother, much like Wolverine's RivalTurnedEvil Dog Logan.

* Believe it or not, ''Manga/{{Inuyasha}}'' has the eponymous character fitting this trope like a glove. Long-lived? Yep. Razor-sharp claws? Yep. Super-senses including [[TheNoseKnows a strong sense of smell?]] Check. Uses a sword occasionally if not most of the time? Yes. Had a love interest that was killed by a hated archenemy? Yeah. Difficult to kill? Hell yeah. Has an older brother? Yep [[note]] For anyone new or getting started into Wolverine, he has an older brother named "Dog" Logan. [[/note]] Prone to berserker rages? Yup.

* ''VideoGame/MegaManClassic'':
** Slash Man from ''VideoGame/MegaMan7''. Has the claws and the look, and his stage is jungle-themed.
** Pluto from ''VideoGame/MegaManV'', who served as the basis for Slash Man in-universe and [[{{Expy}} out]]. Has a [[CatGirl more feline look]] and shorter claws compared to his successor, but otherwise checks off most of the same boxes. Though designed for jungle combat, [[FurAndLoathing Pluto's appearance]] seems geared more towards cold environments ([[{{Irony}} despite his dislike of the cold]]) while his stage is industrial in nature, talking place within [[AbandonedMine a mine]].
* ''VideoGame/{{Divekick}}'' has Redacted, who's a giant skunk bear that's a parody of Wolverine as he shows up in the ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom'' games.
* From ''VideoGame/Borderlands2'', we have Salvador. Short, angry, and the ability to shrug off most damage while under his [[UnstoppableRage Gunzerker]] phase and [[GunsAkimbo duel-wielding guns]] while in under said state.
* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'': Knuckles the Echidna is a hot-tempered fighter with spikes on his fist. He tends to approach problems with brute force and has a FriendlyRivalry with a blue-colored hero.

* ComicBook/{{Vampirella}}'s friend and ally Pantha (not to be confused with the Pantha of ''Teen Titans'') was reimagined as this in the 90s. Now she [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld was a priestess from Ancient Egypt]] who was trying to [[TheAtoner atone]] for a brutal massacre she'd committed which claimed the life of her son among others. She had long sharp claws, was an AnimalThemedSuperbeing with the ability to shapeshift into a black panther and had a feral and aggressive personality.

** ComicBook/JimmyHudson is Wolverine's son in ''ComicBook/UltimateMarvel'', who was specifically created as a GenerationXerox to [[ComicBook/{{Ultimatum}} replace the dead Wolverine]] in the Ultimate franchise. The major distinctions between the two are Jimmy's blonde hair and comparatively less hair. Later, he also gained his own version of a symbiote similar to ComicBook/{{Venom}}.

* From 'VideoGame/Borderlands2'', we have Salvador. Short, angry, and the ability to shrug off most damage while under his [[UnstoppableRage Gunzerker]] phase.

** While Tracer is the more pronimant character, a visit to Angor in ''Justice League Quarterly'' #3 features a brief appearance by an unnamed character in a version of Wolverine's costume with Mickey Mouse ears, and with much more curved claws. An unnamed figure with sideburns, a bandana mask and a green Wolverine costume has also appeared in ''Lord Havok and the Extremists'' and ''Flash Forward'' as one of Earth 8's "Zen Men".

* Bigby Wolf from Bill Willingham ''ComicBook/{{Fables}}'' checks a lot of the boxes on top of uncanny physical and hairy similarities. He’s animalistic Really700YearsOld [[SmokingIsCool cigar chomping]], hard-boiled JerkWithAHeartOfGold with claws and a dark past whom love with a intelligent and professional leader woman and [[TheBerserker berserker]] rage when pissed off. Like Wolverine, Bigby has a ridiculous HealingFactor and is borderline immortal.
