History SelfDemonstrating / Wolverine

* GeniusBruiser: Well, if you've been around for over a hundred years havin' to deal with all sorts of threats, ''you'd better be'' Sure I may not know the advanced stuff like Stark, Richards, Chuck & Hank, even Banner do but that's their thing. I go for the practical stuff.

* ReallyGetsAround: Bub, I've been around since the ''19th century'', and by "been around" I ''mean'' "been around". An entire plotline in the comics centered around a villain gathering up as many of my unknown illegitimate children as I could find and sending them to attack me so I would kill them all as part of a revenge plot to screw with my head. If there's anyone who can beat [[ComicBook/{{Daredevil}} Murdock]] and [[ComicBook/IronMan Stark]] on this, I am.

* [[SelfDemonstrating/MorriganAensland Morrigan]] has her own page. When are they gonna make a new game t' keep yourself amused before making another crossover?

* [[SelfDemonstrating/Ryu]] finally got his page back. Wish we can convince both our companies to give us one last scrap.

* [[SelfDemonstrating/Dante That gunslinging, sword-swinging devil hunter]]'s here too? Nice of him that he settled some family issues. Wish I could I say th' same for mine...
* [[SelfDemonstrating/MBison This bastard's here too?]] Heard Ryu finally took his ass down, but you can never be too sure [[JokerImmunity with villains like him]]. I know from experience.

** I can, sometimes, be friendly with [[SelfDemonstrating/{{Deadpool}} Wade]].

** About the one kid in the main universe I have anything approaching a healthy relationship with is [[Comicbook/{{X 23}} Laura]]. And even then the first time we met she tried to kill me, though I was able to talk her down. Other'n her, you might say that Jimmy Hudson kid is another example (even though we've yet to formally meet). I mean, he's got a good head on his shoulders from having been raised better than the others - and even then I didn't have a hand on that, but considering how much of an asshole Ultimate Me was, it was prob'ly for the best.

* Well, there's already [[SelfDemonstrating/{{Deadpool}} Wade's]] own page for starters. When is he gonna learn ta' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis shut. The hell. Up]].

* Again, [[SelfDemonstrating/{{Deadpool}} Wade's]] already got his own page. When is he gonna learn ta' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis shut. The hell. Up]].

* Really? They gave [[SelfDemonstrating/TheUnbelievableGwenpool Miss Not-Wade]] one? Definitely didn't see ''that'' coming.
* [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer There used to be one for]] [[Franchise/SpiderMan the ol' Web-Head,]] but it just didn't really stand out. Apparently all those stupid jokes (just not as stupid as Wade's) weren't enough.

* Really? They gave [[SelfDemonstrating/Gwenpool Miss Not-Wade]] one? Definitely didn't see ''that'' one coming.

* Aw, crap. Now [[SelfDemonstrating/ThePurpleMan that purple guy's]] got one too. 'Probably told someone to make it.
* Really? [[SelfDemonstrating/Gwenpool Miss Not-Wade's]] got one now? Definitely didn't see ''that'' one coming.

* Ah, crap, [[SelfDemonstrating/{{Deadpool}} Wade's]] got his own page. When is he gonna learn ta' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis shut. The hell. Up]].

** Around the 90s, Sabertooth wasn't just my ArchEnemy - he claimed he was my dad. [[SubvertedTrope Damn glad it turned out he was just lying]]... although there's [[ComicBoo/XMenForever actually one universe]] where he really ''was'' my old man. He even was genuinely upset when I got killed off there, which is creepy on way too many levels.

* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: They say that guy Lobo was supposed to be a parody of me, what with his name meanin' "wolf" and him bein' based off the idea of a NinetiesAntiHero. There's a reason we fought in that one crossover...

* AntagonisticOffspring:

* BodyHorror: The adamantium being added to my skeleton was the stuff of nightmares. Also, when Magneto once tore it out of me.

* PopularityPower: I won't deny that I've benefited from this. Aside from writers going crazy with my HealingFactor mentioned above, the most infamous case is with Marvel vs. DC in my fight with Lobo where the victory was determined by popular vote, and I got the majority, except really I shouldn't have won. I didn't have my adamantium claws at the time, and even if I did, I was up against somebody with a HealingFactor that puts mine to shame and is strong enough ta' go head ta' head with the [[ComicBook/{{Superman}} Man of Steel]] himself. Even the writers couldn't figure out a way to pull this off and had the fight occur off-panel. Years later, we got a HandWave that he let me win.

* TheAlcoholic: I love beer. An' my healin' factor keeps me from gettin' drunk unless I drink a ''lot'' of it. And I usually do.

* EvilCounterpart: Sabertooth is either this or a {{foil}} to me. We got the same basic power set, but I try to tame my bestial side; he ''revels'' in it. The resemblance is close enough that he's even tried to find redemption on the X-men in a couple of universes, or at least been brought onto the team as a crazier, more distrusted version of me.

I've also appeared in [[WesternAnimation/XMen a buncha]] [[WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution cartoons]] [[WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen fer]] [[WesternAnimation/TheSuperheroSquadShow kids]] (and [[WesternAnimation/HulkVs a few]] [[Anime/{{Wolverine}} fer]] [[Anime/XMen adults]]), as well as the ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'' made by Fox where I was played by Creator/HughJackman. Though he would be [[AdaptationalAttractiveness too tall, pretty, and]] [[FakeNationality Australian]] to play me in movies, his portrayal ''did'' become one of the best-known and widely praised superhero portrayals to hit the big screen, so I don't blame him. But due to Creator/{{Disney}} buying Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox, ya prolly might see me duke it out with [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse the Hulk or Thor]] on the big screen any time soon. However, it's worth considerin' that [[Film/XMen1 ya don't have ta]] [[Film/X2XMenUnited be Disney]] [[Film/TheWolverine to put out]] [[Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast a good movie]] [[Film/{{Logan}} starrin' me]]. Plus, I got a beef with that Perlmutter guy in charge of Marvel, since he's breakin' [[WolverinePublicity tradition]] and denyin' me all sorts of appearances just 'cuz he isn't gettin' along well with Fox. Bastard [[KilledOffForReal killed me off]] too. Still, closest thing I got to a daughter [[ComicBook/{{X 23}} took up the mantle,]] so there's that at least. [[spoiler: [[ComicBook/MarvelLegacy Then they decided to bring me back to the game and give me fire claws]].]]

And then there's the video games. [[SarcasmMode Quite surprisingly]], I've been in every ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom'' until recently, appearing in even more games in th' series than [[Franchise/SpiderMan Spidey]]. In vanilla ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'', I'm the best at what I do, and what I do is [[TierInducedScrappy win tourneys]] and piss off everyone who wants ta play as Hsien-Ko or their other favorite. But ya prolly knew that, huh. (Though [[GameBreaker possessed-Jean]] does a ''much'' better job at pissin' off all the tourney players.) Oh, and ya may have noticed, but they made my newest theme song, [[https://youtu.be/jc9tq9iB_Jg which is really just an update of my old one]], sound like a flippin ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' theme song. [[note]] The fans are hoping Perlmutter get off his high horse and put me in the [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomInfinite newest entry]], though there's a possibility Marvel will just add in my alternate future self and Laura will be taking her current role into the game. Better that than being replaced by ComicBook/BlackPanther resulting in angry fans and losses in sales (No offense, T'Challa).[[/note]]
