25	The closest the ''X-Men'' film series has to a conventional protagonist. Logan is a tough, rugged, belligerent loner who has lived for fifteen years without memory of who he is, apart from his dog tags marked "Wolverine" and an adamantium-encased skeleton (as well as adamantium covering his bone claws). He was born in 1832 with the ability to heal rapidly from numerous injuries, including the surgery that bonded the metal to his skeleton, and that ability also prevents him from aging. He also has enhanced, animal-like senses.
26	----
27	[[foldercontrol]]
28
29	[[folder:A-F]]
30	* 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'', likely with the help of Magneto.]]
31	* AchillesInHisTent: In ''Film/TheWolverine'', he has quit the X-Men for at least a year, and isolates himself within the Yukon wilderness because he is unable to cope with his guilt for being forced to kill Jean Grey.
32	* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the comics, Wolverine is stocky, short and not a conventionally attractive man; while he has many conquests, they're exclusively attributed to him being a KavorkaMan. Here, he's a TallDarkAndHandsome Creator/HughJackman, who is so tall that castmate Creator/JamesMarsden had to [[ScullyBox stand on boxes to not be dwarfed by him]].[[invoked]]
33	* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In the comics, his healing factor tried to heal any emotional harm by erasing all memory of traumatic events. This is not the case here, and instead Logan lives for over a century remembering everything he's gone through until he loses his memories in ''Origins''.
34	* AdaptationalAngstDowngrade: His time in the Weapon X program. In ''Origins'', while horrific, the adamantium bonding process is much less brutal, and he escapes immediately. In the comics, he isn't duped into joining Weapon X, but is rather abducted and tortured horribly before, during and after the main procedure. Likewise, he doesn't escape by jumping down a waterfall, but is instead left naked in the freezing Canadian winter with total amnesia.
35	* AdaptationalHairstyleChange: As the movies went on, his hairstyle became more and more toned down and normal, though he did have his signature pointed hair in the first few movies.
36	** Likewise, his mutton chops are much longer, with only his upper lip and chin being clean-shaven. However in the comics, where Wolverine usually wears a mask, his sideburns are shorter as to not show through the mask.
37	* AdaptationalBadass: Overall, this Wolverine is depicted as being more dangerous than his comics counterpart during his early publication days. His physical abilities are clearly superhuman, his healing factor allows him to take more damage, and his BerserkMode is depicted as TheJuggernaut.
38	* AdaptationalCurves: While he's definitely got an impressive build, it's ''nothing'' compared to how absurdly muscular he is in the comics. This is because Logan in the comics, despite being a full foot shorter than Hugh Jackman still weighs 15lbs ''more'' without even factoring in the adamantium. Simply put, 195lbs of muscle is already big, put it on a 5'3 frame and it's ''insane''.
39	* AdaptationalDumbass: Downplayed; he's no idiot, but he doesn't demonstrate his comic counterpart's worldliness.
40	* AdaptationalHeroism: In the comics, Pre-Weapon X mind wipe, Wolverine was an outright horrible person, almost on par with Sabretooth, with his most villainous action probably being what he did to Frank Simpson (kill his nanny, drive his dad into suicide and horribly torture the young man into a relentless killing machine). This violent and unhinged past of his is even alluded to by Stryker in the second movie to the amnesiac Wolverine. Movie Wolverine on the other hand was always the MoralityPet for his slowly deranging brother and the TokenGoodTeammate of Team X.
41	* AdaptationalModesty: His suit in ''Deadpool & Wolverine'' is based on is iconic "yellow spandex" from the comics, but it has full-length sleeves instead of leaving his [[SleevesAreForWimps arms bare]]. This change was made so Hugh Jackman, who has dealt with skin cancer caused by sun exposure, could be more covered up to protect his health.
42	* AdaptationalNationality: A minor case, inadvertently cause by Wolverine's AgeLift. This version was born in what is now the Northwest Territory in 1832, as opposed to the comic character's birthdate of 1882. The problem comes with the unification of Canada in 1870; before that point, what is now the Northwest Territory would have been the northwestern territories of British North America, making this version of Wolverine British by birth. In any case, Logan identifies as Canadian.
43	* AdaptationalProtagonist: The protagonist of the original ''ComicBook/DaysOfFuturePast'' comic was ComicBook/KittyPryde, however, it's changed to Logan for ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. This is because Kitty was largely OutOfFocus for the X-Men film series, so the plotline wouldn't make as much sense to wider audiences if it was starring her. She is still the catalyst for TimeTravel in the movie.
44	* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: Sabretooth is his brother, unlike in the comics. In the comics, Sabretooth was supposed to be revealed as Logan's father, which never came to be. Later he was implied to be Logan's half-brother Dog, which the movies ran with, however the comics ended up confirming Dog Logan ''isn't'' Victor Creed, despite their similarities.
45	* AdaptationalSkill: Inverted; he isn't CunningLinguist like in the comics.
46	* AgeLift: Because of his healing factor it's not that significant, but this version of Wolverine, who was born in 1832, is 50 years older the comic version, who was born between 1882 and 1885.
47	* AffectionateNickname: Victor calls him Jimmy.
48	* TheAloner: Leaves the X-Men in ''Film/TheWolverine'', as he wants to be by himself. Also showed signs of being one in the previous films.
49	* AlternateSelf: He has two: one from the new AlternateTimeline created from ''Days of Future Past'' who is briefly seen in the film and makes a cameo appearance in ''Apocalypse'' before seemingly being erased when the main Logan takes his place in 2023, and the version from the AlternateUniverse seen in ''Logan'', who is detailed in his own folder.
50	* AmnesiacHero: He becomes this in ''X-Men Origins: Wolverine'' and in ''X-Men: Apocalypse''.
51	* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: He embodies the ferocity of the animal he uses for his codename.
52	* AntiHero: He'll do good things, but clearly doesn't care much about it.
53	* TheAtoner: In ''Film/TheWolverine'', he goes to Japan to face his guilt for killing Jean Grey and to receive help from an old friend who might have the means to remove his HealingFactor and make him mortal.
54	* BadassBiker: Often drives a motorcycle.
55	* BadassTeacher: He sarcastically claims to be an art teacher in ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', and serves as a substitute for Cyclops in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''. [[spoiler:In the new future created at the end of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', it's explicitly stated that he's the history teacher.]]
56	* BashBrothers: In ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'', he and Victor Creed do this for the first fifteen minutes of the movie. The opening sequence is a battle {{Montage}} through UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar, UsefulNotes/WW1, UsefulNotes/WW2 and UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar! They also come back together briefly at the end, albeit [[EnemyMine for a mutual gain]].
57	* BeardOfSorrow: In ''Film/TheWolverine'', Logan starts out with a shaggy one, likely resulting from the events of ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''.
58	* BeastMan: Though not as exaggerated as Sabretooth or Beast, he has animalistic features, such as his facial hair.
59	* BerserkButton: And not a hard one to press, either. Just getting him wound up seems to suffice, although he has some specific triggers:
60	** Hurting or threatening his friends.
61	** Threatening a woman.
62	** Harming defenseless animals and making them suffer.
63	** Hearing Stryker order for his memory to be wiped ''really'' fucked him off.
64	* TheBerserker: Often flies into a rage when he's in a fight.
65	* BladeBelowTheShoulder: His adamantium claws, duh.
66	* BlessedWithSuck: Cool as his claws are, his hands hurt every time his claws come out.
67	* 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 ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'' 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.
68	* BroughtDownToBadass:
69	** In ''Film/TheWolverine'', his HealingFactor is dialed down to near-human levels. While his adamantium skeleton and multiple lifetimes of traumatic injury have rendered him superhumanly strong, tough, and resistant to pain, he's still left considerably weaker since his injuries accumulate rather than healing automatically.
70	** In the past timeline of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', which is before his adamantium infusion, he loses the considerable advantage it affords him in exchange for a moderately better HealingFactor, which doesn't really balance it out. He ends up playing a supporting role and badly loses the two real fights he gets into.
71	* BruiserWithASoftCenter: He's near-invincible in a fight and he can be very ill-mannered in social situations, but deep down, he's actually quite sweet and caring. Those who are lucky enough to see his softer side include Rogue, Jean and Xavier. Although there's a part of Logan which will always be "wild," the Phoenix points out to him that Professor X has succeeded in "taming" him.
72	* ButtMonkey: Spends most of Film/{{Logan}} getting insulted, hunted down, physically abused, losing most of his needs, dealing with his feral (more so than him) daughter and eventually [[spoiler:dies]]. It alternates between [[TheChewToy humorous]] and [[TheWoobie heartbreaking]] to see the once badass mutant reduced to this.
73	* CainAndAbel: With his significantly more unhinged and murderous brother, Victor Creed.
74	* CartwrightCurse: Silverfox, then Jean. Averted, surprisingly given the source material, with Mariko.
75	* ChickMagnet: Rogue had a crush on him, Jean flirts with him, Mystique attempted to seduce him, Yukio seems to have feelings for him, Kayla was his girlfriend, plus he had a fling with Mariko and Gwen (the mob boss' daughter) and was with Storm in between movies and in the future in ''Days of Future Past''.
76	* CigarChomper: He is occasionally seen with a cigar in his mouth.
77	* CoolOldGuy: While he looks forty, he's over 170 in the original trilogy.
78	* CoolShades: In 1973, he sports fashionable '70s-style sunglasses.
79	* DarkAndTroubledPast: His past history of fighting in the American Civil War, World War I, World War II, the Vietnam War, and his past work with Team X. He loses his memory of this in ''Origins'', but that simply leaves him with nightmares of his MysteriousPast and an inability to settle down while eventually ending up a cage fighter.
80	* DeadpanSnarker: Often makes snide remarks.
81	* DecoyProtagonist: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. Although he starts out as the main character, Charles Xavier is the true protagonist of the movie. He's just there only to help motivate Charles to change the future. [[spoiler:And when the final battle begins, Magneto simply impales him with rebar and throws him into a nearby river, quickly ending his importance in the film.]]
82	* DefrostingIceKing: Towards Xavier. He is the recipient of this in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''. It's alluded to when the Phoenix (who is presumably using her telepathy) says to Wolverine, "What, you think [the Professor's] not in your head, too? Look at you, Logan. He's ''tamed'' you." Unbeknownst to both Wolverine and the audience, he has grown to love Xavier as a friend, and this finally comes to light after [[spoiler:Logan crumbles emotionally alongside Storm after Charles is murdered]]. This is the first time in the original trilogy where Wolverine had displayed this much vulnerability towards a male character.
83	* DeliberateInjuryGambit: Due to his HealingFactor, he does this on occasion. In the [[Film/XMen1 first movie]], he has to pierce his claws through his body to cut the restraints Magneto has him in.
84	* DentedIron: By the time of ''Film/{{Logan}}'', his healing factor is not working anywhere near as well as it used to, and as a result his body is ''covered in scars''. Also, by Caliban's offhand mention of witnessing Logan wiping pus away from unhealed exit wounds between his knuckles, the cuts and gashes are also frequently getting infected.
85	* {{Deprogram}}: A young Jean Grey helps him regain a piece his humanity in ''Apocalypse'', after the Weapon X project has successfully mentally reduced him to a dehumanized feral attack dog.
86	* {{Determinator}}: To put it simply, unless you are Magneto, you won't stop him.
87	* DeusAngstMachina: With [[spoiler:the mutant race going extinct, Xavier's brain deteriorating in such a way that it causes him to kill seven of the X-Men, and Logan's healing factor beginning to fail]] it would be understandable if Logan thought the universe were out to get him.
88	* DidNotGetTheGirl: Logan's love for Jean Grey will always go unrequited, even in the "good" ending in Days Of Future Past.
89	* DiscardAndDraw: ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' gives him a unique example when he travels back to before his time with Weapon X. While in most cases, not having his Adamantium skeleton would be a net negative, here it means that [[MagnetismManipulation Magneto]] [[LogicalWeakness can't neutralize him quite as easily]] as in the other films. [[spoiler: He still manages to, however.]]
90	* TheDogBitesBack: The Weapon X project stripped him of his humanity and turned him into a savage killing machine. Once Kurt, Scott, and Jean free him, he slaughters every last one of the soldiers but Stryker.
91	* DoesntLikeGuns: No so much doesn't like them as has no use for them, as his nigh indestructible nature allows him to easily close the gap with any gunman. The only time Logan was seen using guns was in flashbacks to the wars he's served in, where he was trying to hide his powers.
92	* DoomMagnet: Innocent people or people he cares about tend to die around him.
93	* DrinkBasedCharacterization: His strong preference for beer stems from his Canadian background, and it's also an indicator that he has lived for many years as a vagabond. Whiskey also seems to be a secondary drink of choice as his shack is littered with bottles.
94	* EarnYourHappyEnding: In the finale of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', [[spoiler:he wakes up in the Sentinel-averted future to find all the X-Men and children at Xavier's school. Since he's the history teacher, he's settled and content]].
95	* EveryoneHasStandards: Though Logan has had sex with many beautiful women, and has no issue with putting moves on people who are already in relationships (as seen with Jean Grey), he's pretty disgusted when Mystique decides to try to seduce him during the events of X2, especially when she shapeshifts into the much younger Rogue to try to convince him to engage with her.
96	* EyesAlwaysAverted: 6'4" Hugh Jackman pulled off looking smaller and more intimidating in part by looking down. The downward look appears more intimidating and thus sold Jackman as scrappier and more aggressive than he looks in real life.
97	* FlippingTheBird: Uses his [[https://imgur.com/GKv5WeJ middle claw to flip off Cyclops]] after breaking a metal detector with his claws (Cyclops was about to tell him off for that).
98	* {{Foil}}:
99	** To the younger Magneto in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. Both are violent individuals who love Xavier, but whereas JerkWithAHeartOfGold Logan possesses UndyingLoyalty towards Charles, JerkWithAHeartOfJerk Erik is quick to [[spoiler:[[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder betray]] him]].
100	** To Charles Xavier, as while both were mutants born to wealth and are a case of AdaptationalNationality in this continuity, that's where the similarities end. Xavier is a psychic WideEyedIdealist determined to create peace between mutants and humans, while Logan is a cynical AntiHero and AnimalThemedSuperbeing who at first struggles to believe in Xavier's vision.
101	* FriendToAllChildren: At Xavier's school. Even when turned into more of a beast than a man in ''Apocalypse'', he hesitates at the thought of harming children long enough for Jean to help him.
102	[[/folder]]
103
104	[[folder:G-L]]
105	* GoodFlawsBadFlaws: His fondness for cigars is part of his macho image.
106	* GoodIsNotNice: The quote underneath his picture says it all.
107	* GoodThingYouCanHeal: He gets thrashed the most in all the films. Anyone else would die from the injuries he experiences. Taking away his healing factor in ''Film/TheWolverine'' proves near-fatal for him and by the time of ''Film/{{Logan}}'', the whole healing factor has dampened considerably (Logan is in near-constant pain and scars on his body are clearly visible).
108	* GroinAttack: In ''The Last Stand'', he dukes it out with a mutant who has much faster and more powerful HealingFactor than him. He neutralizes him by kicking him in the balls.
109	-->'''Logan:''' Grow those back.
110	* HairTriggerTemper: Downplayed, but still present.
111	* 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 that of the comic book Wolverine, 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.]]
112	* TheHeart: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. Ironically, it's his major role in the film, with very few fight scenes. He's more there to galvanize the young Professor into action.
113	* HeavierThanItLooks: It doesn't show from the surface, but the metal bonded to his skeleton weighs enough to strain a motorcycle's suspension in ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'', startling the owner.
114	* HellBentForLeather: He is the best example as besides the X-Men body suit, he often wears a leather jacket.
115	* TheHero: Though Charles does seem to fill the role at times as well, Logan gets the most screen time (including 3 dedicated spin-off films), character development, and usually is the one to save the day, making him this to the film series overall.
116	* HeroicBastard: He's the product of an affair between his mother and the family groundskeeper.
117	* HeroicSacrifice: In ''Film/XMen1'', he almost dies giving his own life to save Rogue. [[spoiler:In ''Film/{{Logan}}'', he dies after going on a rescue mission to save Laura and her friends from being executed by the Reavers.]]
118	* HeroOfAnotherStory: He counts as an example in ''Film/DeadpoolAndWolverine'' from the perspective of MCU fans, as he originates from a different franchise and is a superhero with his own unique history that has no ties to anything previously seen int the MCU.
119	* HeterosexualLifePartners: With his half-brother Victor Creed for his childhood and most of his adult life, up until he left Team X.
120	* HotBloodedSideburns: Has some rather prominent muttonchops to go along with his rash personality. The PermaStubble brings it even further.
121	* HotTeacher: The ultimate ChickMagnet in the franchise joins the academy's staff in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''. [[spoiler:Revealed to be a history teacher in the new timeline created in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'']].
122	* HowDoIShotWeb: Even he isn't immune, spending the first few hours after he got his adamantium claws in ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'' accidentally cutting things up.
123	* HypocriteHasAPoint: He has a moment in ''Film/TheWolverine''. Shortly after sleeping with Mariko, Logan becomes enraged once he learns that her fiancé Noburo is cheating on her with prostitutes. Logan had earlier learned that Mariko had been forced into accepting an Arranged Marriage with Noburo, who is privy to a conspiracy to kill her for money. His adultery, in Logan's eyes, is the tipping point of his betrayal.
124	* IDidWhatIHadToDo: In ''Film/TheWolverine'', [[spoiler:during a dream sequence, Wolverine tells Jean Grey that he had no choice but to kill her because of all the death and destruction she was causing.]]
125	* ImmortalityHurts: It sure doesn't look like a pleasant experience to survive a nuclear bomb in ''Film/TheWolverine''.
126	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: A textbook example and an important part of Wolverine's character. Wolverine can be rude, crass and unapproachable at times, but at the end of the day he is a good person. This is especially highlighted and contrasted in Origins next to Victor Creed, who is pretty much his foil, thus a JerkWithAHeartOfJerk.
127	* 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.
128	* TheLancer: A surly, cynical foil to Cyclops in the first two movies, and Storm in the third.
129	* LightningBruiser: He's not only strong and tough, he is ''fast.'' Before you know it, he's already stabbed or sliced you with his claws.
130	* LogicalWeakness:
131	** 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 Magnetism]] would.
132	** His HealingFactor doesn't give him oxygen, he can drown and comes very close to it in ''Days of Future Past''.
133	[[/folder]]
134
135	[[folder:M-R]]
136	* ManlyTears: He cries in grief in the first film when he thinks Rogue has been killed by Magneto's mutant machine.
137	* MayflyDecemberRomance: Due to the longevity his powers provide him, Wolverine faces this conundrum. [[spoiler:Well, he would, if his love interests would live long enough to see old age. The only one who survives parts with him on amicable terms.]]
138	* MeaningfulName: He was born as James ''Howl''ett; his surname is a nod to his animalistic nature.
139	* MrFanservice: He's the most sexualized male character in the franchise; he's briefly naked in a few movies and has numerous {{Shirtless Scene}}s. He lampshades it himself in the first movie. To count:
140	** He is introduced shirtless in ''Film/XMen1'' and is shown shirtless again when Jean examines him.
141	** ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'' has him fighting in a muscle shirt.
142	** ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'' has a couple of shirtless scenes, then a sequence where he emerges naked and wet from a tank, and a few more scenes in that state with only SceneryCensor keeping the movie PG-13.
143	** ''Film/TheWolverine'': He reluctantly takes a bath as he's vigorously scrubbed by two female attendants, so much of his skin is on display. In fact, Creator/HughJackman is the only reason Tao Okamoto initially agreed to play Mariko in ''Film/TheWolverine'', and Fan Bingbing can't stop gushing about him.
144	** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': He appears entirely naked when first waking up in the past.
145	** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': His every on-screen appearance features him running around shirtless.
146	* MyMasterRightOrWrong: There are shades of this in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''. He becomes angry at Xavier after learning about the psychic blocks in Jean's mind, yet despite his disgust, he still reassures her that the Professor can help and fix her mental instability. Instead of going on his own, Logan accompanies Charles to Jean's childhood home, and he's devastated when [[spoiler:Xavier is murdered]]. It's on a subconscious level, but Wolverine was beginning to develop UndyingLoyalty towards Professor X.
147	* MysteriousPast: Even to him.
148	* NakedOnArrival: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he wakes up in the past naked... because his past self just spent the night in bed with the woman he's supposed to be guarding.
149	* NatureHero: The AntiHero kind in ''Film/TheWolverine''. Specifically, he beat the shit out of the hunter who killed his bear friend/companion.
150	* NiceGuy: ''X-Men Origins'' depicts him as a much kinder and more laid-back man. He personally objected to his half-brother's senseless killings towards innocent lives, treats his previous girlfriend, Kayla, well even after she's revealed to be working for Stryker, and he still has the heart to forgive her by rescuing her sister, Emma, and every one of the mutants over himself. But after he's shot in the head by Stryker with adamantium bullets, resulting in him losing his memory, he becomes [[TookALevelInJerkass cynical and colder]], yet still with a hint of kindness in the present timeline.
151	* TheNoseKnows: He can track anybody from their scent easily. A badass moment in the first film had him recognizing a disguised Mystique as Storm only by sniffing her scent.
152	* OldMoney: Judging by the refined manners of John Howlett and the grandeur of the mansion in ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'', James Howlett was born into wealth. However, he learns when he was around 13 years old that his mother Elizabeth had an affair with Thomas Logan, his family's groundskeeper, and is their illegitimate child. After the death of both his stepfather and biological father, James runs away from home, and he has been scratching a living ever since.
153	* 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. This means that by ''Days of Future Past'' he is 191 years old, despite looking to be in his early 40s.
154	* OneManArmy: While not to the level of his comic counterpart, he very much full-fills this trope
155	** Best illustrated in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', wherein he [[spoiler:singlehandedly slaughters every single soldier in the well-staffed Alkali Lake facility without a single one of them even managing to slow him down]].
156	** ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'' had fight sequences of him tearing through several Brotherhood mutants.
157	** In ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'' he is shown annhilating several soldiers during the wars, the Weapon X soldiers twice after the adamantium infusion, one immediately after during his escape and then another later even when they come with a gunship and machine gun mounted Humvees.
158	** ''Film/TheWolverine'' has him tearing through large groups of Yakuza's and ninjas.
159	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: His real name, James Howlett, is ''very'' rarely used, appearing only in ''Origins'' and ''Logan''. In the rest of the films he goes by Logan (his real father's last name).
160	* PapaWolf:
161	** Towards Rogue and the children at the school.
162	** [[spoiler:''Literally'' towards Laura by the end of ''Film/{{Logan}}'', as she ''is'' his biological daughter.]]
163	* ParentalSubstitute:
164	** To Rogue in the first ''X-Men''.
165	** Laura is technically Logan's daughter through genetic engineering. At first he tries to distance himself from her, but accepts her as his daughter [[spoiler:as he dies]], emphasizing his patronage and concern for her and her future.
166	* PastExperienceNightmare: A recurring element to his character are the nightmares he constantly has over the violence and losses in his life. They usually consist of the wars he's fought in, the people who have hurt him, and the people he has hurt, bad or good.
167	* {{Patricide}}: He accidentally killed his biological father after the latter killed the man that James had believed to be his real father.
168	* PayEvilUntoEvil: Most of the people that Logan has killed were [[AssholeVictim scumbags who had it coming]] one way or the other, including [[Film/XMenOriginsWolverine Agent Zero]], [[Film/TheWolverine Mariko's father and grandfather]], and [[Film/{{Logan}} Zander Rice]].
169	* PrefersRocksToPillows: A variant of this trope appears in one of the original trilogy novelizations. Logan, who is used to rugged living, prefers his showers much rougher than most people. When he takes a shower in one scene, he first turns the water as hot as it will go, then as cold as it will go. He also thinks to himself that the spray is not strong enough for his liking -- he prefers a hammer-like spray.
170	* Really700YearsOld: He was born in 1832, making him over a century old in most of his film appearances. However, his healing factor means that, for most of his adult life, he looked to only be in his mid-30s.
171	* RefusalOfTheCall: When Charles and Erik come asking for help in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', he declines. Rudely.
172	-->'''Logan:''' [[PrecisionFStrike Go fuck yourself.]]
173	* RunningGag:
174	** Thanks to his recurring nightmares of his DarkAndTroubledPast, it's a bad idea to share a bed with him or to be near him when he's unconscious. [[Film/XMen1 Rogue]], [[Film/XMenOriginsWolverine Silverfox]], [[Film/TheWolverine a veterinarian (student), and, very nearly, Mariko,]] learn this lesson the hard way. Surprisingly enough Mariko seems completely unperturbed by almost being impaled and CONTINUES SLEEPING WITH HIM!
175	*** [[Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast Later]], [[spoiler:Shadowcat]] learns it the hard way. Not for sleeping with him, just for being too close during one of his episodes.
176	** His discomfort when it comes to flying plays out across the various films.
177	** Likely unintentional, but whenever he tries to confront Magneto, he ends up being thrown through the air. [[spoiler:Ends up being quite intentional in Film/XMenTheLastStand when a fastball special is deliberately used to ''distract'' Magneto long enough for Beast to sneak behind him and inject him with the Mutant Cure.]]
178	[[/folder]]
179
180	[[folder:S-W]]
181	* ScreamingWarrior: Usually lets out a battle cry when taking down foes. This becomes a major turning point in ''Logan'' when, [[spoiler:after he takes a serum that boosted his healing back to his prime]], Logan lets out an awe inspiring howl. Cue OhCrap from the Reavers and the smiles from the other mutants Logan had been helping. Simplified by this line.
182	-->'''Reaver:''' Oh shit, it's the Wolverine!
183	* SeenItAll: When Deadpool is cleaning up the timeline, [[spoiler:he just stands there nonchalantly as Deadpool headshots, then repeatedly double taps Weapon XI]].
184	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he's the Manly Man with 1973 Charles in the Overly Sensitive Guy role. Logan has to act as the "glue" which barely holds the emotionally fragile Xavier together in order to complete their mission. Their opposite natures are most directly contrasted in the Pentagon kitchen scene, where Charles attempts to persuade the guards that he and his partner have a valid reason to be there, while Wolverine just knocks them out with a frying pan.
185	* ShellShockedVeteran: It's demonstrated in ''Film/XMen1''. Surprising a sleeping PTSD vet is a bad idea, especially when he's got adamantium-coated bone claws.
186	* SleevesAreForWimps: Is often seen wearing a tank top.
187	* SmallRoleBigImpact: His brief appearance in ''X-Men: Apocalypse'' allows the main heroes to reunite and escape the Weapon X facility.
188	* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:In a way. Given how ''Days of Future Past'' ends with the creation of a new timeline, Logan is the sole survivor of Earth-10005.]]
189	* SpotlightStealingSquad: By far the most prominent character in the franchise, being the main character in almost every film and having 3 solo films dedicated to himself.
190	* SuperStrength: Strong enough to toss around fully grown men as if they are pillows. In ''Logan'', he continues to utilize the superhuman strength he displayed in his previous solo film ''Film/TheWolverine''; lifting grown men above his head and tossing them them quite far, and snaps a rifle in half with his bare hands. Will Munson even lampshades it.
191	* TranquilFury: His anger at the hunters who shot a bear with a poisoned arrow is [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness surprisingly]] colder than his usual fits of temper.
192	* TallDarkAndSnarky: At 6'2", his snarkiness is as tall, if not taller, than his height.
193	* 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 had a trilogy of solo movies dedicated specifically to his character. Particularly impressive is, he is the only character to be played by the same actor and appear in ''every'' X-Men movie prior to Creator/HughJackman retiring from the role with ''Film/{{Logan}}'', including cameos in ''First Class'' and ''Apocalypse''.
194	* ThatManIsDead: In ''Film/TheWolverine'', when Yukio tells him it's an honour to meet the Wolverine, he mutters, "That's not who I am anymore."
195	* TimeShiftedActor: A different actor plays James Howlett as a kid in ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine''.
196	* TokenAdult: Unusually for a main protagonist, he is this in ''Film/{{Logan}}'' to [[spoiler:the survivors of the X-23 project]].
197	* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: His mutant power first manifests itself in ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'' when he witnesses his father being shot and stabs his father's killer to death.
198	* UnbreakableBones: His adamantium skeleton is pretty much immune to damage.
199	* UnstoppableRage: He's pretty angry when he fights, but he ''really'' goes into one of these as he's [[spoiler:escaping the Weapon X Facility.]]
200	* UndyingLoyalty: He has developed this for Xavier during the TimeSkip after the post-credits scene of ''Film/TheWolverine''. Although both Magneto and Professor X are co-leaders of the remaining X-Men in 2023, Logan only defers to Charles' authority. When Erik tells him that, "You'll need me as well [in the past]," Wolverine is wholly against the idea, but he reluctantly agrees after Xavier nods in approval.
201	* UndyingWarrior: As with his comic counterpart, Wolverine is practically immortal thanks to his regenerative powers, and the introductory sequence of ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'' demonstrates that he and Sabertooth have enjoyed a very long career in the military: among other things, they both participated in the American Civil War, World War I, World War II, ''and'' the Vietnam War before getting embroiled in the modern conflicts between mutants and humans.
202	* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Logan, for what he has experienced, cannot die. It leads to the unfortunate circumstance of seeing those around him get killed or pass away of old age. However, when he is offered the chance to grow old and die like everyone else in ''Film/TheWolverine'', he refuses. He explains that living as long as he does is a [[BlessedWithSuck curse]], not a gift, since he has to watch everyone he loves grow old and die. It is clear he doesn't enjoy being immortal and sees it as a punishment he wouldn't wish even on his worst enemy.
203	* WolverineClaws: [[TropeNamer Obviously]]. He's born with three bone claws that extend from both of his hands, and later in life gets them covered in an unbreakable metal known as adamantium.
204	* WolverinePublicity: Wolverine, as portrayed by actor Creator/HughJackman, is one of only two characters (the other being Professor X, who has been played by both Creator/PatrickStewart and Creator/JamesMcAvoy at different points in his life) to be in all the X-Men live action movies minus ''Film/{{Deadpool\|2016}}'' (which only mentions both characters, and has the title character wearing a Hugh Jackman mask--[[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ChKAiIkUUAACKpM.jpg:orig this Deadpool advert]] even pokes fun at Wolverine's and Professor X's SpotlightStealingSquad status). Jackman has portrayed Wolverine in '''nine''' films, more than any other actor in a superhero role until Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans and Samuel L. Jackson surpass him with their roles in Marvel Cinematic Universe.
205	* WouldHitAGirl:
206	** ''Film/XMen1'': Considering that Mystique is trying to kill him, he fights her as viciously as he would any man.
207	** ''Film/X2XMenUnited'': The brutal confrontation between himself and Lady Deathstrike is one of the most violent duels in the franchise. To be fair, she was faster and got more hits in.
208	** ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'': He has no choice but to slay the Phoenix in order to end her catastrophic rampage.
209	* YouHaveGOTToBeKiddingMe: Wolverine's response after he climbs up a nuclear reactor chimney and Weapon XI proceeds to teleport right up there behind him.
210	* YouKilledMyFather: He kills Thomas Logan after he killed John Howlett, only to find out that Thomas Logan was actually his biological father all along.

225	Logan's past self from 1973, whose body he takes over to prevent the dystopian future where the sentinels exist.
226	----
227	* AlternateSelf: His life was exactly the same as his main timeline counterpart until 1973 where his future self took over his body.
228	* DeathOfPersonality: It's implied that he was "killed" when the main timeline Logan returned to a now altered 2023, taking over his body and expressing confusion over the changes to the timeline.
229	* DemotedToExtra: Unlike his main timeline counterpart, who plays a major role in the films, this Logan only makes small appearances in two films.
230	* InSpiteOfANail: Despite the very different circumstances, Logan still ends up being experimented on, gaining his adamantium skeleton and eventually joining the X-Men.
231	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Much like the main timeline Logan, he went through the Weapon-X program, but unlike the main timeline Logan, he gets his memory erased and ends up as a savage animal with no memories of his humanity. Though Jean manages to restore one of his memories.
232	* LivingWeapon: He very much becomes the Weapon-X that Stryker envisioned him as, which the main timeline Logan had avoided.
233	* MentalTimeTravel: Thanks to Kitty's powers, future Logan pulls this on him and later ends up permanently taking over his body when he wakes up in the new future.

246
247	A variant of Logan from [[BadFuture Earth-17315]], where following an incident at the Westchester Mansion that killed several mutants, the X-Men disbanded and Logan retired as a superhero. He ended up becoming the caretaker of Charles Xavier, who now suffered from dementia, while trying to stay out of the spotlight, but is forced into action when he realizes that a girl he's been coerced into escorting has powers similar to his own.
248	----
249	* ActionDad: Although he spends most of the movie pushing Laura away, he becomes this in time for the final battle, rushing to her aid as Rice and Pierce are closing in.
250	* AdaptationalJerkass: Compared to his main universe counterpart. Despite both living in a BadFuture, this Logan is far more cynical and uncaring towards others, while his main timeline self still cared about trying to make things better.
251	* TheAlcoholic: While never a teetotaler to begin with, Logan has turned to booze to manage the constant pain he suffers from as his HealingFactor deteriorates.
252	* AlternateSelf: To the version from the main continuity. Characterization-wise, he's essentially the same as the main universe version in a BroadStrokes sense, albeit one rocked by a traumatic, offscreen incident that made him much rougher around the edges.
253	* BadassAndChildDuo: He reluctantly takes in the eleven-year old Laura, who claims to be his genetic daughter, and goes on a road trip to help her escape the evil corporation that's hunting her down. The interesting thing with this duo is that while Logan is still a killing machine, Laura's youth and agility actually make her just as "badass" as her father.
254	* BadassDriver: He now works as a rideshare limousine driver and uses CarFu during the film's first major battle.
255	* BatmanGrabsAGun: He grabs a handgun from a Reaver either he or Laura killed. [[spoiler:And uses it to kill Rice and break Pierce's cybernetic hand.]]
256	* BeardOfSorrow: He sports a thick, unkempt beard. You can tell he doesn't care much about his personal appearance anymore, and given everything that's happened to him at that point, including the near-extinction of mutantkind, who could blame him? The tone of the film gets ''slightly'' lighter when [[spoiler:the X-23 kids]] trim his beard back to look more like his traditional sideburns.
257	* BeautyInversion: This Logan looks far older than he ever has in any other film. His healing factor typically erases any trace of injury, but now he has several notable wrinkles and marks on his face, and any glimpse of the rest of his body looks as if his skin is now mostly scar tissue. He is rather famous as a WalkingShirtlessScene, so this is the first time that such a scene is not used for fanservice.
258	* BroadStrokes: This variant is this to the Logan of the main films: he has experienced all the same major events such as Weapon X, being a cage fighter before meeting the X-Men and the battle at the Statue of Liberty in the first film, 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, it's not clear if this Logan experienced the events of ''Days of Future Past'', with the ''Logan'' timeline either diverging from the primary timeline after Weapon X and lives in a different BadFuture, or the events of said timeline happening right after the DOFP epilogue.
259	* BroughtDownToBadass: His HealingFactor is severely compromised. In fact in many scenes he's outright ''hobbled'' because he's no longer healing as well as he used to. He's often walking with a pronounced limp, his body is stiff and seems at times arthritic, he's riddled with scars and open wounds (which, based on what Caliban said, are frequently infected), and at the beginning of the film one of his claws jams and fails to fully extend during a fight. He's still the Wolverine, but time has not been kind.
260	* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:His power doesn't work well enough anymore to heal the fatal wounds he gets at the end.]]
261	* CoolOldGuy: This Logan is pushing 200 when we see him.
262	* CompositeCharacter: [[spoiler:He takes on elements of Sarah Kinney from ''ComicBook/X23InnocenceLost'': 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 creators wanted her to be.]]
263	* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:Granted, the classic Wolverine was dead at the time because of the events of ''ComicBook/DeathOfWolverine'' and wouldn't come back until after ''Film/{{Logan}}''[='=]s release, but he arugably counts as type 2 as one of ''Logan''[='=]s main influences was ''ComicBook/OldManLogan''--which saw its Logan survive the original story and would die years later in ''Dead Man Logan''.]]
264	* DeathSeeker: More or less by the time ''Logan'' takes place. The X-Men are a thing of the past [[spoiler: since seven of them were accidentally killed by Xavier years earlier in a seizure-induced mental attack with others likely being hunted down later]], mutants have almost died off, and Logan himself (who is in a constant state of physical pain due to his decaying healing factor) is left to a rather aimless existence with nothing left to do but look after Xavier and drive a limo part-time. [[spoiler: Later on in the movie he admits that he's been thinking about using his adamantium bullet to end it all. In the end he gets a much more [[HeroicSacrifice heroic]] death.]]
265	* DecompositeCharacter: [[spoiler:Despite the movie adapting elements of ''ComicBook/OldManLogan'', it isn't Wolverine who's the unknowing killer of the X-Men, but rather Professor Xavier.]]
266	* DefrostingIceKing: Towards Laura. Her initially treats Laura as nothing more than [[LiveActionEscortMission the cargo he needs to get from one place to another]]. From the point where he learns that Laura is his clone, and effectively, his daughter, he begins to act more like a strict parent when around her, though slowly begins to treat her with more and more affection. [[spoiler: After Charles, Caliban and the Munsons are killed, Logan tries to [[BreakHisHeartToSaveHim distance himself from Laura in an effort to protect her]], and ultimately dies holding her hand, accepting her as his daughter before succumbing to his wounds]].
267	* DentedIron: 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. [[spoiler:It's weakened to the point that the wounds he receives at the climax of the movie are fatal.]]
268	* TheDriver: He takes a limousine driver job so that he can take care of the infirm Xavier. The car model (Chrysler [=E8=]) was specifically made for the film.
269	* DyingDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler:His final words to Laura are to tell her not to be what Transigen made her, and finally accepting her as his daughter as he muses on what Xavier told him earlier in the film about what life and having family feels like.]]
270	* FallenOnHardTimesJob: Compared to his cushy teaching job at the school, Logan is now barely scraping by as a limo driver near the border in order to take care of Charles.
271	* FanDisservice: This Logan's nowhere near as healthy or attractive as his other variants due to his failing HealingFactor. His many {{Shirtless Scene}}s showing off several ugly scars, and as the movie drags on, [[{{Gorn}} many gaping and still-bleeding wounds.]]
272	* FeelingTheirAge: The screenplay page of ''Logan'' describes Wolverine like this: "As for our hero, well, he's older now and it's clear his abilities aren't what they once were. He's fading on the inside and his diminished healing factor keeps him in a constant state of chronic pain."
273	* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:He gives Laura a smile before finally perishing.]]
274	* GlassesOfAging: Compared to his main universe self, this Logan wears reading glasses to illustrate just how much he's aged.
275	* GrumpyOldMan: Losing many of his friends, working a low-paying job where he gets little-to-no respect, and slowly dying from adamantium poisoning as a result of his healing factor deteriorating has made Logan more cynical than he's ever been before.
276	* HandicappedBadass: Downplayed in ''{{Film/Logan}}''. He's still walking and can make mince-meat of a man, but he's long past his prime. He has numerous scars, walks with a noticeable limp, sometimes even has trouble fully extending his claws, and puts on reading glasses. Compared to the [[TheBerserker fighter he was before]], he's much weaker.
277	* HappyEndingOverride: Only for this iteration of the character. While the main timeline counterpart is, for all intents and purposes, given a happy ending, this Wolverine was left in an emotionally-broken state after the Westchester Incident, which happened after the epilogue of ''Days of Future Past''. Namely, he loses all his loved ones when Xavier accidentally kills the X-Men in a psychic attack, before Xavier is killed by Logan's evil clone and then finally being killed himself. The only good outcome from that situation is that Laura and the other mutant children are free to live their lives.
278	* HealItWithBooze: As revealed by the first screenplay page of ''Logan'', Wolverine is in a "constant state of chronic pain" and uses "booze as a painkiller."
279	* TheHeroDies: [[spoiler:He dies in the end from the wounds he received fighting X-24.]]
280	* HypocriticalHumor: He reprimands Laura for shoplifting in a convenience store and later stealing a car, only to steal a charger in said convenience store.
281	* 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.]]
282	* ImmortalityHurts: Taken to eleven with this variant, who not only is covered in scars and half-healed wounds, but his wounds frequently get infected, he frequently walks with a pronounced limp, and his claws frequently get stuck halfway in and require him to pull them out the rest of the way, which visibly causes him extreme pain.
283	* IncurableCoughOfDeath: He coughs in fits throughout ''{{Film/Logan}}'', [[spoiler: which is a symptom of him SecretlyDying. And in the end, he does die, [[SubvertedTrope but from fatal wounds rather than sickness]].]]
284	* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: In ''Film/{{Logan}}'', he is impaled on a tree branch by X-24.
285	%%* KilledOffForReal: DO NOT UNCOMMENT THIS TROPE. IT DOES. NOT. APPLY.
286	* LastOfHisKind: Downplayed (though not very much), then played with. By the time of ''{{Film/Logan}}'', he's convinced that there are no other mutants left aside from himself, Xavier, and Caliban. [[spoiler:He's proven wrong by the existence of the X-23 project, whom are a bunch of kids, including Laura, with mutant powers. However, he was still (presumably) the last ''naturally born'' mutant, as well as the final surviving member of the X-Men.]]
287	* MadeOfIron: Despite his healing factor being much weaker than ever, he can still take a lot of punishment and keep going.
288	* MilesToGoBeforeISleep: By the time of the events of ''Logan'', he is slowly dying and has clearly ventured into DeathSeeker territory, carrying with him an adamantium bullet for the day when he can finally end it all, but he must first take care of Charles and ensure that he doesn't harm anybody as his mind deteriorates.
289	* Really700YearsOld: Downplayed compared to most examples, but since he's a BroadStrokes AlternateSelf to the main Logan of the ''X-Men'' films he presumably has the same origin as that version. This means that by the time of the film, which is set in 2029, he's now 197 years old.
290	* SecretlyDying: [[spoiler:Logan is slowly being poisoned to death by his own adamantium skeleton, as a result of his healing factor slowing down with age. He makes it very clear that his days are numbered.]]
291	* UndyingLoyalty: Logan's loyalty to Xavier becomes outright protective by the time of the movie, as he's taking care of a mentally-ill, elderly Xavier.
292	* VitriolicBestBuds: Logan and Xavier, bordering on a bromance version of AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther. Despite their grumpy demeanor around each other and their constant arguing, Logan treats the aged (and increasingly demented) professor more as a father than a mentor, to the point of having built his life around being his caretaker and planning on fully retiring with him on a boat. [[spoiler:This even goes so far that, when Laura gets abducted ''in his presence'', he is more occupied with looking for Xavier without any delay and doesn't even lift a finger to help her until it's taken care of.]] It's quite clear that Professor X is basically the only family he has left.
293	* WhoWantsToLiveForever: The years have been unkind to Logan and he's at a point where he feels that death would be a release. [[spoiler:He finally gets his release and passes away at the end.]]
294	* YouKilledMyFather: When [[spoiler:X-24 stabs Charles and Logan watches him die in the bed of his truck]], he is FUCKING PISSED, and he gives the most hits and rage in his fight against [[spoiler: X-24]] than in their second bout, although not enough to win that fight, he did manage to be brutal and driven enough to surprise, rip into, and drive [[spoiler:X-24]] back at first.
