He'd be much better as that grumpy PE coach who tells the kids to run
a few laps, while he sits in the corner reading a girlie mag.

In that first picture posted, he says he never got to tell her his real name.

Does this mean he knew his real name? I thought he only knew himself as Logan as well.

"...and those were fine-lookin' frails..."

Did Chris Claremont already have a notion that Wolverine was so old as to use lingo a propos of "Minnie The Moocher"?

Mark he probably means Logan when he talks about his real name. It
was revealed to readers in an earlier issue but I don't remember if the
other X-Men knew about it at that point.

Oop! A whole chunk of what I had to say cut out there!!

That's just Chris' "tough guy talk." Same as "bub."

The first suggestion of Wolverine being ancient of days came from me. I suggested that Sabretooth be Wolverine's father, and this was why Wolverine read as both a mutant and not (since the Hight Evolutionary angle had been scrapped). Mixed in with this I suggested that Sabretooth was around a hundred years old, and Wolverine around fifty.

At the time, as near as I can tell, Logan WAS his real name. The whole notion that he didn't know his past came about in the nineties (circa Wolverine #48 or thereabouts). Before that he knew about his past (maybe a little fuzzy about where the claws came from, but he knew who his father was), he just didn't feel any inclination to talk about it.

 QUOTE:

I agree, but I can't help but think that the show was an influence on
Singer's version.

Well, if you say it's in his commentary, I guess so.  Just doesn't match up to what I saw.  Not at all. Another clear difference.  Any conflict/antaganism Scott has with Logan is over Logan's problem with talking orders from anyone.  True to the comics as Scott had no idea Logan had a thing for Jean.  I mean early on.

The gist of movie Scott's problems with Logan are his interest in Jean. The first novel has a scene with Jean and Scott in bed which I think was also filmed, but didn't make the cut.  It's Scott telling Jean that he hates Logan, he sees the way Logan looks at her.  Jean then reassures him. A scene I'm glad they left out.

Logan as outsider left the station a LONG time ago.  Like it, don't like it, it ain't coming back.  Check that.  Been a long time since I read the X books.  Maybe it will.  Last I was reading the character I would have thought no way.  But isn't Cyclops an ends justify the means mutant revolutionary now?    If that can happen, Logan going back to the way he started might not be much of a stretch.


 QUOTE:

In that same vein, a lot of bits and dynamics in RAIMI'S Spider-Man
movies also seem to cones from the 90s cartoon. It would seem that
filmmakers find watching cartoons easier than reading!

Got some examples?  Not questioning that it happened, just having trouble remembering any right now.
