Wolverine (Marvel)
| This article is about the mutant superhero. For the vehicle used by G.I. Joe team, see Wolverine (G.I. Joe). |
- Wolverine is a human (well, mutant) from the Generation 1 and Movie continuity families.
Wolverine, aka Logan, is a diminutive military veteran cowboy from Canada who's famous for acting as a superhero. He is not Peter Cullen.
His fleshy, hairy human exterior seems to hide some sort of metallic infrastructure, which is not unheard of by Transformers. A mutant (no, not a Mutant... or that kind of mutant either), he has hyperadvanced healing abilities and incredibly acute senses.
He claims that he's the best at what he does, which apparently isn't very nice.
He's also a completely unlikable asshole. Naturally, this means he is nigh-indestructible and completely unstoppable and just rules over everything... Prowl is probably having flashbacks.
Fiction
Generation 1 IDW comics continuity
Wolverine was one of the Avengers sent to investigate the conflict between Latveria and Symkaria caused by the Decepticons. After entering a dome structure, the Avengers were attacked by the building's defenses and Spider-Man got kidnapped, which upset Wolverine. When the Autobots arrived, Wolverine was confused by a talkin' truck. The only recourse was to attack the talkin' truck. Man and Machine, Part One He was run over by Jazz, but that only angered him further. He was about to redouble his assault until stunned by Doctor Doom and eventually calmed down when he was given a synapse regulator. Man and Machine, Part Two When the Decepticons attacked, Wolverine attacked Runabout, tearing into his windshield. While Luke Cage entered the dome structure to attempt to free Spider-Man, Wolverine stayed behind to hold the fort. Man and Machine, Part Three Wolverine accompanied Jazz and Bumblebee into the structure via an orbital bounce, which made him feel as if his guts were on fire. He scented out Spider-Man and went into a rage when he saw Prowl absorbing Spidey's powers, but was stopped by the web-slinger, who had volunteered to help recharge the Autobots. Wolverine then took his place, charging up both Prowl and Ratchet. After they left, Wolverine remained behind and destroyed the Psycho-Prism. He then fled as the feedback began to destroy the Decepticon array. He then commented that the Avengers' ship smelled funny. Man and Machine, Part Four
Movie continuity
When Robert Epps thought triple claw marks left in a thick steel wall were the result of an attack by Freddy Krueger, Glen Whitmann pointed out that Freddy Krueger's got four claws. "That was Wolverine!" With a voice lacking any hint of humor, Agent Simmons replied that his comment was very funny. Transformers
Crossovers
Someone built Wolverine a large transforming battle suit which was both faster and more resistant to damage than any other mechs on the market. It mimics Wolverine's abilities by having advanced self-repair systems and sharp claws that can cut through metal.[1] When Wolverine was part of the X-Force, whatever that is, he got a new battle suit which was black and extra stealthy. It allowed Wolverine to complete even the most dangerous of missions without ever being noticed.[2]
