Wolverine

Wolverine (a.k.a.Logan, né James Howlett) is a fictional character, a Marvel Comics superhero and member of both the X-Men and another Marvel superhero team, the Avengers. He first appeared on the last page of The Incredible Hulk #180 (Oct. 1974), with his formal introduction in the following issue (#181, Nov. 1974). In the 1980s and 1990s, Wolverine rose to become one of Marvel's most popular characters. Wolverine is also significant for being (debatably) the only comic book superhero created after the mid-1960s to make a real impact as a major character with adequate ongoing popularity over the decades to grant him mainstream cultural recognition outside of comic-reading circles. Wolverine's pop-culture recognisability amongst laypeople is almost equivalent to that of Spider-Man and other much older characters such as Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, something that cannot be said of any other superhero created after the early years of Marvel.
