- "You busted out of the facility like a bat out of hell, cutting and slashing everything and everyone in sight. Nothing could stop you – except you, I imagine. And you sure weren’t going to, at least not until you had butchered every living thing in your wake. Everything that is, except me."
- ―Malcolm Colcord

Notes & Trivia[]
- The character of Wolverine was created by writer Len Wein and artists John Romita, Sr. and Herb Trimpe. Most comic fans credit writer Chris Claremont with truly defining the character, however. He was introduced in a cameo stinger at the end of Incredible Hulk #180 in October, 1974, but made his first full appearance in the following issue, Incredible Hulk #181. In May, 1975, he became a member of the X-Men in Giant-Size X-Men #1. He has been associated with the X-Men in some capacity, either as a team member of an ally, ever since.
