@23:04, how can Wolverine's hand be cut off when he has an Adamantium skeleton??? Or any severed limb???

Wolverine is the most coolest character in all of Marvel he is a father, teacher, protector, and honorable warrior.

[@jamichealruiz]

Facts💯🔥

[@jeuryrabassa4724]

While Spider-Man is the most relatable, iconic, and legendary character in all of Marvel, He is the heart, soul, and spirit of the entire Marvel universe.

[@Keravonos]

How? This character is a murderous deceptive demon!

Him surviving Hiroshima isn’t talked about enough. He tanked the atom bomb near ground z, reducing him to bear bone and he healed back. But even after the blast, the air was contaminated with crazy amounts of radiation, and the dudes organs and bone were still exposed. He endured all that radiation and his healing factor didn’t even flinch, no abnormal lasting damage, no severe mutations (as ironic as that is), and not even any cancer related illness since then. He just walked it off

[@hallarious506]

Well, easily done, if your body heals cancer.

[@hydro3672]

And his new friend suffered unlike him in the Wolverine movie we see this scene depicted and the results of a normal human surviving it

[@dylanogg347]

Hugh Jackman deserves all the praise for his iconic run as Wolverine. But he ain't the only one who does. Cal Dodd, Scott McNeil and Steve Blum deserve massive kudos too.

[@cliffwoodbury5319]

His berzerker rage has never been filmed to depict it as something different as it should be.....

[@ItsAzaelPerez]

The movie Logan did it through the final battle of the film.

[@MinecraftGambits]

[@_davidboxing]

@@MinecraftGambitsno? The drug 💉 was used to heal…

Omega Red is forever underrated. Wish he’d get more attention and story arcs (Maybe screen time) He was a sick opponent for Wolverine that’s for sure

He is hard to do live action.

The Cavillrine should be added now as one of the variant 😂

He's just playing a version that already exists. All those variants are versions from the comics

I have a beautiful piece of artwork in my living room of the first cover with Wolverine and the Hulk and Wendigo on it.

Good to know, thanks for the trivia😊

​@@itaybashan3757 You're welcome.

[@JusttMiike]

Glad it got changed

[@coldfire22]

X2: Wolverine's Revenge is probably one of the most underrated games. It was like playing an actual comic book. Which makes sense as it was written by none other than Larry Hama himself. Wolverine was voiced by Mark Hamill and he did such a great job. I'm sad it didn't make the list of games mentioned here.

[@aceloco817]

As an 'old head' Wolvie was one of my fave comic book characters as a kid in the 80's/90's. Ngl, Logan was the only movie i ever seen that made me shed a tear in the theatre. Good thing i went by myself. Soon as the lights came on, i was out! 😂

[@khumarchauhan1231]

I was hoping this was a history of Ultimate Universe Wolverine. But this is definitely awesome too

[@Gear_teen]

Could we please get a Red Hulk video? Since he's going to appear in the new Captain America movie?

[@merringg]

Definitely do more of these Ultimate History style videos, so awesome and helps learn a lot about the characters

[@Nobody-eh3hu]

This is amazing

[@SoyOllin]

Love this format! Ultimate series is what I was looking for 👍👍👍👍

[@variant]

Nice! More on its way!

[@masonmatthews1226]

Idk why origins gets so much hate. I loved it and still watch it from time to time.

Love the format for this character! It’s very comprehensive and fulfilling. Keep them coming. I feel like Ive learned alot

[@psychoconcretesledge3150]

Felt like you could have mentioned a few more enemies. Mr. Sinister, Cyber, Azrael the Angel of Death, Wendigo, Hulk, Mystique...

30:12 Jimmy almost resembles future trunks from dragon ball with the way his blonde hair somewhat resembles super saiyan and his black top reminds me of what trunks wore against the androids

Me too! It's not a perfect film but it's so fun and it's imo the best Hugh looked as Wolverine yum

My second favorite superhero of all time!! My man Wolverine!!!! 🙏🏽💪

[@ryansanico6539]

Will in 1994 I dressed up as wolverine for All in 94, and used to own the Game X-men on Sega Genesis console,94-2000.

[@DiamondBatToons]

Next to Spidey, Hulk, Iron Man & Ghost Rider, I think Wolverine is one of the 5 Supers that represents the Marvel franchise as a whole. More specifically, the non-human/Mutant side of the franchise.

[@toyungu]

The whole concept of A Wolverine Kid always freaked me out considering his backstory.

[@toyungu]

And Hulk, and Batman and.. . All of them.

[@douglandry]

I love watching your videos and I learn a lot

[@ShockwaveFPSStudios]

0:13 Technically, we haven’t gotten an MCU Wolverine, as Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine’s from the Fox X-Men Universe.

I like these over extensive ultimate history format. It's equal to a whole class session. Love to see more of these

[@Blakk_Wolf7]

FINALLY! Finally a KZbin content creator who finally pronounce Akihiro's name CORRECTLY! Thanks so much, I do appreciate it. I got so tired of channels, like Top 10 NEED who constantly pronounce it as "Dah-ken", so I tried to explain to them, that it's not Dah-ken, & that Dokken is an '80 Pop metal band, and that Daken, correctly pronounced Day-ken is a derogatory term in Japanese, which is a originally a slur meaning dog or mongrel. It also happens to be my [1st] name. Anyway thanks for listening, props on another great video. Here's an idea or suggestion topper the new long format explanation videos, how about doing one on arguably the most powerful teams/fighting forces in the universe, the Shi'ar's Imperial Guard. How every member is the last of a different race, how just by sheer number they could dominate other teams, not to mention the staggering raw planet killing abilities of many members

[@Wonk0024]

Originally his claws were just gloves they weren’t meant to be part of his mutant powers

1974 was a blessed year for the birth of the mutant outcasts 💯👍

[@kenweste8735]

Great job mentioning how powerful Wolverine is, but you didn't mention that although he is so incredibly tough, his power isn't even at its fullest strength due to the adamantium poisoning his body is constantly fighting off. When Magneto ripped out the metal from Wolverine, it actually made him even stronger.

[@cashordeals3672]

Was hyped AF when his weapon x skin dropped in the fornite shop I hope his old man Logan fit comes into the game someday

[@blkninja5683]

Don't forget the age of apocalypse when magneto pulled out his medal

[@mrv7916]

The brown and yellow Wolverine suit is the best suit he has. Don’t get me wrong the yellow and blue is awesome too, but I prefer the brown and yellow. Also wish they had kept the hot claws of his. I think it was good additional feature of his powers.

[@Matt_El_Comicologo84]

13:18 well, Cornelius is not the creator of Weapon X persee, he was just the last one to survive before Logan offed-him before passing. The creator was Truitt Thornton although, if we look in a macro aspect which, many mature know by now, Weapon X Program is part of Weapon Plus program

[@jasonaugustine3370]

Sometimes I wish someone would explain to me how a person with a healing factor is strong as Logans actually gets old? He should be as immortal as a vampire

[@supersaiyansean9679]

X-Men legends literally reminds me of the mobile game marvel future fight, though X-Men legend 1&2 were just 🔥🤌

[@akilwilliams7466]

Gotta do a history of Jimmy Hudson and Daken Wolverine at some point. Also a history of X Force Wolverine.

[@viktorkarrillo7343]

So I have one question for wolverine fans . If his skeleton is dipped in metal why doesn’t his teeth show it , but when his flesh is completely gone his teeth are metal , but when his skin is on.

[@grudgematch6653]

People tend to forget that just because Wolverine has a healing factor doesn’t mean that his injuries don’t hurt…

[@CrazeCracker79]

Well, you forgot to mention: his other mutant ability of heightened senses; his arch nemesis, Cyber whom he says is the only person who truly scares him; and the fact that on the weapons collectable card from the either 1st or 2nd series of Xmen trading cards that his claws are 17"s long. 😊 his endurance between his indestructible skeleton and his healing factor gives him advantage as he does not tire out, in fact his healing allows him to get stronger during intense battles from healing his muscles instead of fatiguing, like going to the gym times a hundred right on the spot.

[@MetroBuumin]

The thumbnail alone highlights exactly why some characters will never fully translate into film

[@Zizurkur]

Plz make more episodes like this!!!!

[@jasontom4660]

Wolverine is my favorite of all super heroes has been since the late 80s i like the video.

[@ajeshnilata1540]

I'm a Superman fan but But there's something about Wolverine's character that drives me into him Makes me want to read his comics Makes me dig into his character Maybe that's the character he is That drives people into him

[@rockwise_enterprises]

No mention of how he became the horseman Death and how he got his adimantium back from Apocalypse?

[@NBDYSPCL]

An issue I had with the Origins Artwork, despite being very nice to look at, was that it depicted his claws coming out from his knuckles. Which makes so much less sense.

[@quentinfogger5755]

Are Adamantium bullets the only weakness of Wolverine as seen in the Logan 2017 movie? Do you think Deadpool would use this to threaten Wolverine? Which is better for Wolverine with bone Claws or Adamantium Claws since both of them can slow him down?

[@dekinbrooks3492]

Could we get a History of Sabertooth video next for that he’s coming back and introduced into the MCU

[@abigailslade3824]

[@InternationalScoutIIHarvester]

His storyline, in which he falls in love with the daughter of a Japanese crime boss, is far more dark than anything that's been put on screen.

[@quentinfogger5755]

What would have happened if if the Logan movie took place in another universe since it's possible with the Deadpool and Wolverine movie showing the Multiverse?

[@EvlEgle]

Bro didnt even go over the times wolverine has been reduced to just an adamantium skeleton and his healing factor brought him back.

[@ONIYAUTJA]

What I’m seeing in the movies about wolverine is different from what I’ve read in the comics. They did a huge disservice to his character and those of the other x-men team members. First thing that bothered me seeing Wolverine in the movies was how tall he was… a big part that had me liking him to begin with, was how short he was. Don’t underestimate the smaller guy. Um. He fought the hulk first appearance at 5’3”.

[@mr.nobody9697]

If Hugh i ever out as Wolverine i say Zack Efron should be the next. Hes aged just enough to have a bit of that grizzled look and hes jacked. And oh yeah, hes an excellent actor.
