Romulus Origins - This Underrated Wolverine Villain Evolved From Race Of Wolves, He Broke Wolverine!

I have a theory about this my guy. So in all 3 spider man games, there are Greek mythology Easter eggs everywhere. I do think this is a hint that Romulus, the supposed founder of Rome along with his brother, who are said to be both Wolves, will be in Wolverine.

Wolverine has always had some of the best villains

[@ddillard143]

they need to have a book where Romulus runs across Apocalypse. They both are thousands of years old and are both mutants. And have similar ideologies. They had to come across each other

[@thnzxc]

They must've crossed paths at some point. Hell Apocalypse beefed with dracula for a long time.

[@smorillo8581]

Apocalypse beefed with the Eternals too.

[@sawboss5794]

They never crossed paths because Romulus was a stupid idea.

[@pascalbertaud927]

The problem is that with all the smoke and mirrors involving Romulus (and the clumsiness of later writers trying to use the character) we don't even know if his claims of being that old are true. As interesting and intriguing as his introduction to the Wolverine storyline was, we are left with a very muddled and not quite adding up together character.

[@MusicLover-my6fo]

If Romulus is going to be in the MCU, he should be the antagonist that works from the shadows. She Hulk already confirmed that Wolverine and the Weapon X program exist that would be a perfect place to sprinkle Romulus' influence.

[@vernonhampton5863]

Daken's muramasa claws were always stupid to me. The blades neutralize healing factors. Yet, he can retract them into his body and punch them back through and still heal at superhuman rate. Dumb.

[@pascalbertaud927]

When they first started this storyline and when we saw glimpses of Daken and Romulus, I was intrigued and quite astounded. The problem is that Romulus puppeteer role is too perfect , as is his ability to remain undetected...it all feels a little too much of a reboot of Wolverine's origin but a clever one in many ways. What further compounds the problem is that later appearances by Romulus were mishandled by other writers and made him also seem far less of a formidable villain (and quite easily outsmarted!).

After hearing this and looking at the pictures does anyone else think they are going to play that this guy is Logan's and Sabertooth's Grandfather? If anyone remember is that some offsprings like one of Sabertooth's doesn't have the mutant regeneration ability. So he might be after people with the mutant regenerated ability in his lineage. That might explain why he's so fascinated with logan.

[@UltimateSpider1385]

Romulus is an unpredictable and ferocious enemy to Wolverine. Since he's a mutant who's a descendant of a species of lupine mutants evolved from wolves. He was the mastermind of the Weapon X program, and ruled ancient rome. He would've been a rival to Apocalypse if he invaded Egypt. Romulus is the man responsible for forcing Daken to hate Wolverine. Romulus possesses the same powers and abilities of both Wolverine and Sabretooth. His obsession with Wolverine's life has made him a dangerous for which is the reason why he's the cause of so many painful moments in Logan's life.

[@PopeTheRevXXVIII]

Way to read the Wiki page

[@TheOther644]

Romulus is a great looking character, even though he's just a larger version of Sabretooth. The difference is that he is smarter, and physically stronger, mainly his strength cause he sent flying Skaar. Also, I don't believe his finger claws are retractable give he's never seem doing that. He is a master at genetics and was able to give back Thorne and Feral's feline appearance, but couldn't give them back their powers. He uses telepaths to implant fake memoirs and images to Wolverine and others heads. Other than having connections to a number of nations through blackmail and having some kind of secret empire, everything about him is a lie. He used Cyber as a prototype for the Adamantium and stupidly threw him away, when in fact Cyber has shown to be a bigger threat than Romulus and the only man Wolverine fears. Romulus was trying to create a new race with a mix of Adamantium and Vibranium, but he just ends up as a copy of Wolverine with Adamantium bones and implanted those claws into his arm. Romulus could have been great, but the way he was brought in and the fact they made him solely responsible for everything that shaped Wolverine sucks.

@@pascalbertaud927 I think he still can be solved, they just need to fill out more if what is a lie and not. Go into his secret empire, and his goal to find an heir thing and why he was so obsessed with Logan and his family. Then there is that new race with a mix of Adamantium and Vibranium. But when it comes to a new heir, I think one of the reasons he keeps telepaths is so he can put himself in that new body.

In addition I imagine that Omega Level WOLVERINE is able to keep his morals intact, even when he is fighting against a very viscous enemy, and so I imagine that he is able to mentally protect his moral-code the way he lives his life as an honorable warrior, and to add as a good person. Now I think it would be great if both characters (OMEGA WOLVERINE) & ROMULUS make their appearance in a new Marvel cartoon show series.
