Interesting, I've never seen Steve Scott's work before. I see a little Mark Bagley in his rendering style. There's some pretty good storytelling on the page up thread as well.

I'm pretty sure that 5'4" would have been too short for regular army.Shave and a haircut would have been required. So would a first name.
===
A shave and a haircut, definitely. As a means of not giving the reader a first name; the military angle is actually a smart way to go. Military personnel are generally referred to by rank and last name. The gov. may have a first name on file, but the reader would never have to be given that name. Pretty smart way of getting around it.
------------------------ Trivia tidbit: Johnny Cash's real name is J.R. Cash. That wasn't good enough for the Army, so he took "Johnny".

Isn't Wolverine's healing factor supposed to make his hair grow back quickly? I thought I remembered a story where he was burned including all of his hair singed off and that it grew back in a few panels, seems like that would be true of his beard too though.

It was the story that introduced the robotic Logan and the little girl. Logan had just rescued the girl from a fire in a warehouse. Thing that I thought of at the time was that if his hair did grow that quick then he would wake up each morning looking like Captain Caveman.

It should not affect normal hair growth. Technically, it should not affect a simple haircut, either, since hair is dead. Wolverine's hair should grow at a normal pace, except when some trauma, like a burn, occurs.

Yeah, so it should be the follicle that grows back quickly, not the actual unliving hair that grows from the follicle. Seeing as that Marvel have apparently progressed to the idiocy of Wolverine being able to regenerate from tiny parts of himself, if his hair did regenerate it would mean new Wolverines every time he got a haircut.

Or clipped his toenails. Or spit!This kind of thing serves only to underline what goes wrong with super powers all too often. The strong become ridiculously strong, for instance. The fast become ridiculously fast. And Wolverine's healing factor, which used to allow him to recover from grievous injury eventually crosses the line into magic. It's all about bad, lazy writing.

I notice Fury is playing with what appears to be a nail in this sequence. Is this significant to the story, or Marvel copping out on his stogie?(Anybody more familiar with WW2 uniforms than I am know the deal with the stars on the Canadian collars, btw?)

The toothpick doesn't look significant to the story. ("Nail" is here slang for toothpick, right?)
