Theyve been retconned twice, first the claws were just apart of his gloves, then they were an addition from the Weapon X project and not one of his mutant abilities, then after Magneto ripped the adamantium from his skeleton it was then retconned that he had bone claws underneath.
Even the other X-Men initially thought his claws were part of his costume. The first time he unsheathed them with bare hands, during an encounter with the Sentinels, the X-Men who were there were shocked to see it.

Wolverines attack animals much bigger than themselves. Considering how Wolverine is a man of short stature who never runs from a fight, the name fits. ❤
@@dadevi When you stop reading fairy tales you learn how wolverine doesn't fit to this fairy tale character. Cautious animal avoiding conflicts with wolves, cougars and bears. It fights only if unable to flee normally.
Wolverine started with no claws. Weapon X gave him adamantium claws and skeleton. Magneto ripped the adamantium out. Eventually he healed and his body replaced the missing metal claws with bones. It was later ret conned into future stories that he always had bone claws.
I like that they justify the retcon by having the memory issue make him unsure. When its revealed that they are bone after his adamantium is stripped he remarks that he thought Weapon X made them and that his memory is so shot full of holes he didn’t remember they were part of him.
I also find the bone claws a bit more believable. How could they have surgically implanted the claws if his healing factor would simply undo whatever alterations they made. Plus, bone claws are just cool.
The original intent was that the claws were part of his gloves, but that was never stated in the comic. The concept was just that, a concept and was not part of the continuity. Therefore, it is categorically not a retcon.
Exactly, they were originally explained in the comics as being an addition from the weapon x project. It was never stated that they were part of his gloves.
I always liked the idea of Weapon X addition over bone claws. It makes the evil scientists more evil and more brilliant. Here’s a guy who can heal himself instantly; what if we hid knives inside his body that could explode out of him, it’ll hurt like hell but we don’t care and it’ll be a fearsome weapon. Bone claws are… just silly.
@@billcarson6954 -- 100%. He became popular not because he was some uber-powerful, unstoppable thing. He was a really dangerous, really well-trained brawler with enhanced physicality, senses, and could heal from really nasty wounds... but could still die if he wasn't careful. The bionic claws -- that he had no memory of getting -- really played into the notion of a traumatic past as someone's experiment. Someone tried to build a weapon with a mid-tier mutant -- not give an unstoppable immortal an edge.
@EdNorthcott he wasn't just a brawler, though. He was a true martial artist. He mastered most of earth's martial arts. I don't know why people don't recognize that about him when they make movies, but he's really a skilled fighter, we just have him in brawls but he's so much more capable. By the way, I'm not attacking, simply adding.
Uhhh, I don't remember that in the original. I remember it being bone, but definitely not only a part of his gloves. The only one I remember had claw gloves was Romulus (if I remember correctly). But I think that was way later.
I'd like it more if it worked. XD Muscles all work by pulling/contraction. The way they make it look, he has to flex 24/7 to keep the claws in, which is a really weird thing to have. I still prefer the older origin, when the claws were bionic implants.
That's why in the first comics with Wolverine his claws look ribbed, because they were telescoping 1mm thick adamantium that retracted into his gloves. But the writers thought that if anybody could wear the gloves, then anybody could be The Wolverine and therefore he wouldn't be special, so they made it part of his anatomy and not gloves
Actually, Wolverine's claws being made of skeletal bone covered in adamantium was something that was retconned in the 1990s after Magneto had ripped the adamantium out of his body. Originally, Wolverine's claws were artificial and had been surgically implanted into his forearms during the Weapon X experiment.
@@wintertrooper7918 More internet bullshit that refuses to die. The source of the idea was Dave Cockrum, and even he only brought it up years later in a Wizard magazine interview. Moreover, Wolverine was mentioned as being a mutant in his very first appearance, and nothing officially released has ever contradicted that. X-Men #98 gives us the notion that Wolverine is different from his fellow mutants, in that he doesn't read exactly like the others, but exactly how he was different was never mentioned. Just that the Sentinels' detectors say that he *is*, but Doctor Lang claims his readings are different. Also to take into consideration, Cockrum says (direct quote) that *he* always intended for Wolverine to be a mutated animal. BUT, he was neither the writer nor a co-plotter at that point and had no influence over how that would have been presented in-story. Regardless, even after the #98 issue, from issue #101 and on, Wolverine is *always* referred to as a mutant and that has never changed. Read www.cbr.com/wolverine-logan-mutated-wolverine-origin-marvel/
@@wintertrooper7918 Let's be honest Claremont had a lot of wacky ideas, like Sabretooth being Logan's father, Logan being an evolved Wolverine, Mr. Sinister being the mental projection of an 11 year old kid playing with toys, he also wanted Kitty Pryde to eventually die and be reincarnated into an African girl that would have been adopted by Storm and T'Challa...
No one knew about the bone claws until after the Fatal Attractions storyline when magneto ripped the adamantium from his body, nearly killing Logan. Then the next time his claws popped they almost ripped one of his hands off.
Did u know Wolverine initaly use to be Australian?!?. They ret-coned him into a Canadian after realizing how badass it is making him into a surviving WWII war vet is, suppose to some Crocodile-Dun-Dee copy-n-paste character.
I swear Wolverine has an Aussie accent in an animated show one time, and everyone has convinced me that it's a Mandela effect thing (that is: I'm remembering incorrectly). Is there a chance I actually DO remember this?
@@AlexWalkerSmith He did have an Aussie accent in Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends cartoon, when Spidey, Firestar and Iceman went to the Xavier Institute.
In the Weapon X novel, Wolverine loses his bone claws before the Weapon X procedure and the Weapon X project had no idea. His physiology still had the "spaces" where the claws would have been so when the adamantium was injected it filled the space with new claws though due to the absence of the original claws the musculature essentially closed tightly so the claws ended up forming nearly paper thin making them inconceivably sharp and deadly.
His powers make a lot of sense. He is an animal. Claws strength and speed. He is slower thanks to the metal but he can keep up with cars and is actually a heavier hitter then you'd think. Not spiderman thing level but a notch lower.
@@obsidianfrost9514 actually if you think about it... if they could have coated his brain in adamantium he'd be pretty unstoppable unable to get concussions thanks to his brain having shield around it the draw back us he can't be touched by telepathy
@@Maskedmenace8267you do realise that even the toughest helmets can’t stop concussions right? If any, adamantium would be worse, imagine you get shot in the head and the impact knocks you back… and then, due to inertia; your brain slams into an UNBREAKABLE BLOCK OF METAL! The X-Men 2 scene where a bullet concusses Wolverine make sense as the bullet can’t go through adamantium and so all of the force goes into his skull, dangerously accelerating his brain; thus giving him a concussion This would ironically make an adamantium bullet less harmful assuming you have a healing factor, it goes right through his skull, thus imparting less force overall Edit: I just realised you said if they coated his BRAIN in adamantium he would be immune to concussions… now that I’m thinking about it, that would definitely shield the brain better lol
If I remember correctly in the beginning Wolverine also had miniature Sheaths for each claw, they didn't tear out Everytime until recently when they wanted to overuse his healing factor in favor of the films portrayal of him. Either that or after Magneto first ripped hos adamantium out, they simply we're put back in the same way🫡👑
I like the old school presentation of Logan when he had a humble healing factor pre-bone claws completely mysterious past The march towards bigger and badder has made a mess of things 😮💨
I couldn't agree more. He was a much more compelling character when he was much more 'street level'. The unstoppable immortal who can never be wrong and is ultra cool all the time is... well... boring.
Yes, originally the claws were apart of his gloves, but after his fist appearance and up until magneto pulled out the adamantium they were explained as biotic implants in his arms from weapon X. Something he himself believed until magneto unintentionally revealed the natural bones.
@@TheMetalAllfather yes man, I know that. But when the character first came out they were thought to be just apart of his gloves because there was no clear explanation. Then it became implants, then coated bones. Real time character development. Speaking of sabertooth, did you know that the thought was going to be that he was Logan's dad before it became brother in other media?
I can't tell you the amount of times I clenched my fists waiting for claws to come out when I was a kid. I seriously wished that I somehow become a mutant.
because this video is fake and getting absolutely every last detail wrong. Wolverine has ALWAYS had physical claws on his body from his first appearance. Whatever idiot made this AI generated trash has never read a comic book.
There actually were several retcons. The initial conception was that the claws were a part of his gloves, but fairly early on it was revealed that they were a part of his body. For a long time after it was presented that the claws were pure adamantium and added during the same procedure that coated his skeleton. It was only in the late 90s or early 2000s (I forget when exactly) that the story was changed to make them bone claws covered in adamantium. IMHO they should have just kept it with them being totally adamantium and added to him, but to each their own.
I agree. It doesn’t make sense that he goes from pike-like bone claws to perfect knife-like claws. If the process was just to coat the bones in Adana tiny, he would just have pikes coated in metal, not perfectly polished and sharp blades
Yes, originally the metal claws were added to him during the adamantium bonding process as a mechanical adaptation. Then they retconned it after Wolverine had the adamantium pulled from his bones by Magneto. So when Wolverine recovered, they made it so that he always had claws that were made of bone, but like the rest of his body, the bone claws were covered in adamantium too.
@@SpanishAvenger that's the issue I had. Adamantium-coated bone claws would look like...metal-coated bone. Not polished razor-sharp claws as portrayed in Frank Miller's limited series and elsewhere. Kinda dumb in my opinion, but hey it's a comic book and stuff like this happens all the time.
@@MiserableLittleDoomGoblin Yeah I think the retcon to him initially having bone claws is silly. What could've made more sense would be that after Magneto ripped the adamantium from him, his body -- having had the claws for so long -- had grown used to having the claws and healed into that formation leaving him now with bone claws.
I've ALWAYS hated this retcon. Originally, they were bionic, or these days it would be considered cybernetic. Either way, they were a mechanism built into his forearm as an added weapon for killing. Before the Weapon X project, he was much like Sabretooth.
Yes exactly, the claws were considered a side effect from the weapon X procedure. They were never revealed before that. I didn't even know that he had incredible healing when I was a kid, thought it was just the claws. That the weapon X project was his entire power. They clearly made up all that crap later that he had some kind of bone claws already.
@terofrito The first mention of it is in Uncanny #116, "To Save the Savage Land", published in 1978. A dinosaur bites Wolverine's arm and he tells Storm he heals real fast. Between that and his turn from abrasive hothead to competent leader when Cyclops is captured and then directing the infiltration of Garokk's city, there's a case to be made that issue #116 is the most important issue in Wolverine's history.
@@terofrito Well my introduction to xmen was the animated series and I was very young back then and didn't understand the language fully. The episode with the backstory of the experiment just showed him getting itchy hands for some reason while in the tank and the claws came out. I thought he had just animal characteristics and the adamantium skeleton+claws. We didn't really see him getting torn apart blasted and fully healing in the animated series, maybe it was cause of censorship.
I thought man just got lolcuky with the genetic lottery and god said ya know what im gonna make you specifically be born qith a metal not even hulk is able to break then i watched x-men origins
Fun Facts: The healing factors was a byproduct of the bone claws. Because the hands aren't designed with slits, the bone claws often cut its way out, actually injuring him in the process. So the healing factors was developed to seal the wounds whenever the bone claws retracted. When Logan lost his healing factors, he couldn't risk using his claws as it will leave permanent wounds and he'll die of blood loss.
I knew that the adamantium wasn’t part of it at first I knew it was just his bones that part I think everyone knows that man, but didn’t know the claws was part of the costume in the early days
It was actually the result of numerous retcons. First it was an implant grafted in as part of the Weapon X program, so for part of the 80s his claws were not only retractable but also had varying length. The retcon that made his claws a part of his skeleton didn't happen until the 90's storyline Fatal Attractions that ended with Magnito strippine the metal off Logan's bones. Wolverine eventually recovered but was as surprised that he still had claws as anyone else.
I mean ik a guy having his shit changed to adamantium is as illogical and mad it seems but having a thicc, strong asf, and shard claws comming out of his arms all the time don't make sense too me aswell 😅
I remember an episode from x men tas, back in the 90’s where Wolverine teams up with captain America in wwii and he had no claws. In the episode he wears a set of tiger claws that look similar to the adamanium claws he’d have later after weapon x
I remember watching an episode of X-Men or Spider-Man (cant remember) where he was fighting along side with Captain America in WWII, and Wolverine was wearing prosthetic metal claws, like Vega from Street Fighter 2 because he had not gotten adamantium claws. The 90s where wild
That’s not accurate. It was revealed in the 80s that his claws were not part of his suit. In a comic where he is captured along with another super hero his suit is taken away and he still uses his claws. That was a big reveal.
@@kevingamboa9420 no, bone claws were created after his adamantium was removed from his body. But his original character was conceived as a guy in a suit with claws attached. Then, when he was captured and had his suit taken away, he revealed that his claws were part of his body. Then, again, he made a startling reveal in the savage lands that his claws had nothing to do with his mutant abilities. It’s been a long development over the years.
@@jonathanmatthews8862 i read that comic, and i remember him falling to his knees due to the pain of popping his claws, and he just kept them outside to not have to endure that pain again
Yes, I know. I saw it in his history and the old cartoon series. He used fake claws to do secret missions and kill for who knows who because they used to Always whipped his mind.
And in one comic in the late 80's early 90's he gets captured and tortured to the point where he is exhausted and he specifically stated that it does not take physical strength to pop his claws. But a mental one.
"Did you guys know" Everyone knows that, dude. Just open the "Weapon X" comic book from 1991. It is clearly shown, that the claws, along with the MECHANISM, that pops them out, were implanted into Wolverine forearms as a part of experiment. And even this was a change from the original concept you mentioned, i.e. claws being only the part of his gloves, when Wolverine appeared for the first time in one of the "Incredible Hulk" comic books.
When I had contact with the character (before Magneto take out his adamantium), it was said that the claws were added by the government in the weapon-X experiment, but they weren't detachable. The surprise was that he had bone claws and the claws weren't added in the weapon X experiments. I have no idea if he ever detached his claws in early stories.
Nah, it was never shown. :) That's why when they changed it, it didn't really have any impact on the story... and made much more sense, as skintight gloves showed no hint of a hidden gadget.
By the time of his Frank Miller mini series the claws were switch blade type mechanisms surgically bonded to his bones and wired to his nervous system by Weapon X. The decision to make the bone claws retcon came in the early 90s when Magneto stripped the adamantium from his bones. Probably the stupidest retcon in comics history. Gnarled, pencil thick bone spikes don’t miraculously become recurved, razor blade thin, super sharp blades just because you put metal on them.
The only stupid thing in that continuity is weapon X just kidnapping Logan and pumping him full of adamantium without even running some x-rays on him first. Researchers should have run tests on him for weeks before even cogitating the implants. Deciding to artificially shape his claws right before it (like it's shown to happen in X-23's backstory) would be very sound. It's more effective weapon design, the thinner blades don't fuck his hands up so badly and it saves on adamantium costs.
@@marcosalmeida3947 How do gnarled, spurred, almost straight, bones with the thickness of a No.2 pencil, miraculously become recurved, laser sharp, double edged blades with the thickness of a razor blade, that make the mechanical sound of “snikt” when they snap into place?
@@williamsmith8790 Going by the cover of "Wolverine Origins 1", his claws are almost as thick as his fingers anywhere but at the tips. And going by my fingers (which are on the thinner side), and the hands of farmers and brick-layers I've met, that is a LOT thicker than a No.2 pencil. I don't have a clear picture or direct statement, but I'm also pretty sure his claws are single edged, only sharpened at the bottom. I don't know how scientists did that, but considering neolithic people made sharp tools from bones, I assume scientists with top of the line equipment wouldn't have that hard a time. Infusing it with adamantium before they began healing is another matter, however. As for the "mechanical" sound, I always read it more like "metal scrapping against a hard surface". Like in here: ua-cam.com/video/hv3k30sZ_a4/v-deo.html . There's a lot of adamantium covered bone for the claws to scrap against on their way out.
@@marcosalmeida3947 If you read Weapon X by Barry Windsor Smith, they act like the claws are a surprise. Same with the crappy movie. So there’s that. Guidebook to the Marvel Universe weapons edition did a complete breakdown on how the mechanical housings for the blades functioned and were surgically attached to the bones in his forearms. That came out in the late 80s I believe.
Genuinely one of the coolest superhero’s because of his claws. The reason why I loved the Logan movie so much was because they finally let him be so brutal and dark instead of just simply stabbing people.
To keep him popular and to add to the legend, they gave him adamantium poisoning.Kinda silly being that it never bothered him before, until he gets the ailment apparently overnight.
It's not something that occurred overnight. Once adamantium was ripped off his body, his regenerative powers goes haywire and he becomes even more animalistic than he usually is, bloodthirsty and totally berserk
the trauma + the regeneration and body destruction only he can endure combo is amazing like you couldn't write a better origin story AND you made him a unique character in the process. The weapon X
I also remember in the cartoon as a kid, the claws were a side effect from the adamantium. It even went so far as when they were on an island that suppressed mutant abilities, he said “There’s nothing mutant about these!” as he went to defend his friends.
yeah, I don't like the bone claws. The bionic / cyborg period makes more sense. Why would nature give him 3 claws per arm instead or 4 or 5... five being most natural, four matching primary fingers (ignoring thumb). Three only makes sense as an artistic flourish.
Why would nature give Storm the ability to control the weather? They're mutants, it's a fantastical concept where a genetic change leads to superpowers, it's not going to be realistic.
In X-Men #142, the 2nd part of the original Days of Future Past, there's a panel where we see Wolvie's skeleton lying on the floor after he's killed by a Sentinel. You can clearly see the mechanical housing on his forearm that his claws retracted into. That tracks with an earlier comment he'd made about cyborgs and how he'd almost become one himself. I could never get into the later "bone claws" retcon.
@@stressedhaish69420 I'm not saying he doesn't, I'm saying hulk doesn't have any Sharp metal Pierced out of his skin or muscles every single time, except Logan. I agree Logan has anger issues, because there are a lot of reasons and stories behind them.

He means that the bone claws weren't written in until 1993. Until then, it had been established this guy was a government experiment with a mysterious past, and that was the only definite explanation we were going to get. It wasn't until 1993 that anyone considered he should have bone claws that even he was unaware of, and even then, it wasn't until 2002 that we were given any kind of origin for this guy beyond the weapon x project, confirming that he had always had bone claws, and even after all of that, it wasn't until late just this past year, 2023, that we finally, finally get to see just why his memory is so scrambled, why he didn't remember having bone claws in the first place. That is to say, before 1993 we the readers, as well as Wolverine and everyone who knew him, we had no reason to think his claws were anything more than weapons the government had installed.

First in the seventeen hundreds he got really sick and started having symptoms of a unlown disease, he say he’s dad kill his father figure and that’s where he first got his claws, but they were made of bone first and later on his bones were fused with admantium
Another important character note. For decades, everyone thought the claws were pure adamantium and were created during the weapon X program adamantium infusion. But part of his body, not just in his gloves. It was not revealed until the issue where the adamantium was stripped by Magneto that the claws were natural. Remember that he had near total memory loss at that time and did not remember he had claws naturally. It was revealed to himself and the team while he was training in the danger room, weeks after he had his adamantium stripped.
I remember reading that before the official retcon that he always had bone claws, some fans speculated that the reason he had bone claws despite Magneto ripping off the metal off his body was Logan's body was so accustomed to them, plus the physical and mental trauma that he went through that time, made his body innately/subconciously "over-regenerate" his damaged bones to replicate the claws, almost like a tumor or excrescence

I also find the bone claws a bit more believable. How could they have surgically implanted the claws if his healing factor would simply undo whatever alterations they made. Plus, bone claws are just cool.
@@superpaytonmars8852 welll carbanadium exist so it could have been said they used that to stop his claws
The original intent was that the claws were part of his gloves, but that was never stated in the comic. The concept was just that, a concept and was not part of the continuity. Therefore, it is categorically not a retcon.
Exactly, they were originally explained in the comics as being an addition from the weapon x project. It was never stated that they were part of his gloves.
I always liked the idea of Weapon X addition over bone claws. It makes the evil scientists more evil and more brilliant. Here’s a guy who can heal himself instantly; what if we hid knives inside his body that could explode out of him, it’ll hurt like hell but we don’t care and it’ll be a fearsome weapon. Bone claws are… just silly.
@@billcarson6954 -- 100%. He became popular not because he was some uber-powerful, unstoppable thing. He was a really dangerous, really well-trained brawler with enhanced physicality, senses, and could heal from really nasty wounds... but could still die if he wasn't careful. The bionic claws -- that he had no memory of getting -- really played into the notion of a traumatic past as someone's experiment. Someone tried to build a weapon with a mid-tier mutant -- not give an unstoppable immortal an edge.
@EdNorthcott he wasn't just a brawler, though. He was a true martial artist. He mastered most of earth's martial arts. I don't know why people don't recognize that about him when they make movies, but he's really a skilled fighter, we just have him in brawls but he's so much more capable.
By the way, I'm not attacking, simply adding.
Uhhh, I don't remember that in the original. I remember it being bone, but definitely not only a part of his gloves. The only one I remember had claw gloves was Romulus (if I remember correctly). But I think that was way later.
Best retcon ever. Specially because he feels pain everytime he draw his claws
It wasn’t revealed that his claws were previously bone until Magneto ripped the adamantium from his body in the 90s comics

@@DariusKetchum2010well thats both terrifying and awesome
I'd like it more if it worked. XD Muscles all work by pulling/contraction. The way they make it look, he has to flex 24/7 to keep the claws in, which is a really weird thing to have.
I still prefer the older origin, when the claws were bionic implants.
@@DariusKetchum2010 lol Asuras Wrath Wolverine
That's why in the first comics with Wolverine his claws look ribbed, because they were telescoping 1mm thick adamantium that retracted into his gloves. But the writers thought that if anybody could wear the gloves, then anybody could be The Wolverine and therefore he wouldn't be special, so they made it part of his anatomy and not gloves
Actually, Wolverine's claws being made of skeletal bone covered in adamantium was something that was retconned in the 1990s after Magneto had ripped the adamantium out of his body. Originally, Wolverine's claws were artificial and had been surgically implanted into his forearms during the Weapon X experiment.
And the original concept of his character as a minor hulk antagonist was that the claws were part of the gloves
He was also originally conceptualized as a wolverine that had mutated into a human, rather than a human with claws.
Sorry but Wolverine's co-creator, writer Len Wein, has denied that on several occasions.
It's just a bit of popular legend that refuses to die.
@teabearchurchill5600 that's cause he wasn't the one who came up with that it was a claremont idea
@@wintertrooper7918
More internet bullshit that refuses to die.
The source of the idea was Dave Cockrum, and even he only brought it up years later in a Wizard magazine interview.
Moreover, Wolverine was mentioned as being a mutant in his very first appearance, and nothing officially released has ever contradicted that.
X-Men #98 gives us the notion that Wolverine is different from his fellow mutants, in that he doesn't read exactly like the others, but exactly how he was different was never mentioned. Just that the Sentinels' detectors say that he *is*, but Doctor Lang claims his readings are different.
Also to take into consideration, Cockrum says (direct quote) that *he* always intended for Wolverine to be a mutated animal. BUT, he was neither the writer nor a co-plotter at that point and had no influence over how that would have been presented in-story.
Regardless, even after the #98 issue, from issue #101 and on, Wolverine is *always* referred to as a mutant and that has never changed.

@@wintertrooper7918 Let's be honest Claremont had a lot of wacky ideas, like Sabretooth being Logan's father, Logan being an evolved Wolverine, Mr. Sinister being the mental projection of an 11 year old kid playing with toys, he also wanted Kitty Pryde to eventually die and be reincarnated into an African girl that would have been adopted by Storm and T'Challa...
@@mawinstallation6626 still better than that ultimate universe
No one knew about the bone claws until after the Fatal Attractions storyline when magneto ripped the adamantium from his body, nearly killing Logan. Then the next time his claws popped they almost ripped one of his hands off.

Yet Hugh Jackman is an Aussie 🤔🤔
“As opposed to “
I swear Wolverine has an Aussie accent in an animated show one time, and everyone has convinced me that it's a Mandela effect thing (that is: I'm remembering incorrectly). Is there a chance I actually DO remember this?
@@AlexWalkerSmith He did have an Aussie accent in Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends cartoon, when Spidey, Firestar and Iceman went to the Xavier Institute.
Just wait till he learns about ANZAC troops or the million Aussies who served in ww2 combat
In the Weapon X novel, Wolverine loses his bone claws before the Weapon X procedure and the Weapon X project had no idea. His physiology still had the "spaces" where the claws would have been so when the adamantium was injected it filled the space with new claws though due to the absence of the original claws the musculature essentially closed tightly so the claws ended up forming nearly paper thin making them inconceivably sharp and deadly.
Yeah I remember the bone claw scene in one of the older movies, makes me uncomfortable to this day.
One of the best characters with a very thoughtful super powers
Wolverine always seemed to gave a mixed bag of powers for a mutant
His powers make a lot of sense. He is an animal. Claws strength and speed. He is slower thanks to the metal but he can keep up with cars and is actually a heavier hitter then you'd think. Not spiderman thing level but a notch lower.
Yeah, usually a mutant only has one shtick but he has, like, 3.
@@obsidianfrost9514 actually if you think about it... if they could have coated his brain in adamantium he'd be pretty unstoppable unable to get concussions thanks to his brain having shield around it the draw back us he can't be touched by telepathy
@@Maskedmenace8267you do realise that even the toughest helmets can’t stop concussions right? If any, adamantium would be worse, imagine you get shot in the head and the impact knocks you back… and then, due to inertia; your brain slams into an UNBREAKABLE BLOCK OF METAL!
The X-Men 2 scene where a bullet concusses Wolverine make sense as the bullet can’t go through adamantium and so all of the force goes into his skull, dangerously accelerating his brain; thus giving him a concussion
This would ironically make an adamantium bullet less harmful assuming you have a healing factor, it goes right through his skull, thus imparting less force overall
Edit: I just realised you said if they coated his BRAIN in adamantium he would be immune to concussions… now that I’m thinking about it, that would definitely shield the brain better lol
If I remember correctly in the beginning Wolverine also had miniature Sheaths for each claw, they didn't tear out Everytime until recently when they wanted to overuse his healing factor in favor of the films portrayal of him. Either that or after Magneto first ripped hos adamantium out, they simply we're put back in the same way🫡👑
I like the old school presentation of Logan when he had a humble healing factor pre-bone claws completely mysterious past
The march towards bigger and badder has made a mess of things 😮💨
I couldn't agree more. He was a much more compelling character when he was much more 'street level'. The unstoppable immortal who can never be wrong and is ultra cool all the time is... well... boring.
Agree. Logan's backstory used to be a mystery, now its an encyclopedia length explanation.
One of the rarest moments when retcons are actually good
Yes, originally the claws were apart of his gloves, but after his fist appearance and up until magneto pulled out the adamantium they were explained as biotic implants in his arms from weapon X. Something he himself believed until magneto unintentionally revealed the natural bones.
Fake. He was born with the claws, just like Sabertooth.
@@TheMetalAllfather yes man, I know that. But when the character first came out they were thought to be just apart of his gloves because there was no clear explanation. Then it became implants, then coated bones. Real time character development.
Speaking of sabertooth, did you know that the thought was going to be that he was Logan's dad before it became brother in other media?
I can't tell you the amount of times I clenched my fists waiting for claws to come out when I was a kid. I seriously wished that I somehow become a mutant.
Did you guys know that Batman is actually a billionaire orphan?
Did you know his parents died 😢

Thanks for spoiler...

One of a few times where a retconn was not only necessary, but greatly beneficial to the character.
Except for Batman, Wolverine is the most coolest badass superhero ever created. Change my mind!
Totes. Batman for normal human , Wolverine for mutant. Both top
Also, Wolverines mask is just 2 batman's kissing

Ahem, Dog Welder

Wolverine is the best written charachter. Once you know his full backstory, all the loss and hardship you understand why hes the best.
This was one of the good and sensible retcons
I'm reading X-Men from the beginning and I don't see when anyone though his claws are part of his gloves
because this is just ai generated crap
because this video is fake and getting absolutely every last detail wrong. Wolverine has ALWAYS had physical claws on his body from his first appearance. Whatever idiot made this AI generated trash has never read a comic book.
The scene of him growing his bone claws after the adimantium samurai cut his metal claws is really awesome.
There actually were several retcons. The initial conception was that the claws were a part of his gloves, but fairly early on it was revealed that they were a part of his body. For a long time after it was presented that the claws were pure adamantium and added during the same procedure that coated his skeleton. It was only in the late 90s or early 2000s (I forget when exactly) that the story was changed to make them bone claws covered in adamantium. IMHO they should have just kept it with them being totally adamantium and added to him, but to each their own.
I agree. It doesn’t make sense that he goes from pike-like bone claws to perfect knife-like claws.
If the process was just to coat the bones in Adana tiny, he would just have pikes coated in metal, not perfectly polished and sharp blades
Yes, originally the metal claws were added to him during the adamantium bonding process as a mechanical adaptation. Then they retconned it after Wolverine had the adamantium pulled from his bones by Magneto. So when Wolverine recovered, they made it so that he always had claws that were made of bone, but like the rest of his body, the bone claws were covered in adamantium too.
@@nasheemwhye5197 Nobody forgets that moment in WOLVERINE #75 when the bone claws were revealed for the first time.
@@SpanishAvenger that's the issue I had. Adamantium-coated bone claws would look like...metal-coated bone. Not polished razor-sharp claws as portrayed in Frank Miller's limited series and elsewhere. Kinda dumb in my opinion, but hey it's a comic book and stuff like this happens all the time.
@@MiserableLittleDoomGoblin Yeah I think the retcon to him initially having bone claws is silly. What could've made more sense would be that after Magneto ripped the adamantium from him, his body -- having had the claws for so long -- had grown used to having the claws and healed into that formation leaving him now with bone claws.
I've ALWAYS hated this retcon. Originally, they were bionic, or these days it would be considered cybernetic. Either way, they were a mechanism built into his forearm as an added weapon for killing. Before the Weapon X project, he was much like Sabretooth.
Yes exactly, the claws were considered a side effect from the weapon X procedure. They were never revealed before that. I didn't even know that he had incredible healing when I was a kid, thought it was just the claws. That the weapon X project was his entire power. They clearly made up all that crap later that he had some kind of bone claws already.
Why "crap". The bones are way better.
@@Joao-ur7eyno. Before he was just james howlett. Then he was captured on a mission and went under adamantium experiments.
His healing is mentioned since the 80s comics. You just didnt pay attention.
@terofrito The first mention of it is in Uncanny #116, "To Save the Savage Land", published in 1978. A dinosaur bites Wolverine's arm and he tells Storm he heals real fast. Between that and his turn from abrasive hothead to competent leader when Cyclops is captured and then directing the infiltration of Garokk's city, there's a case to be made that issue #116 is the most important issue in Wolverine's history.
@@terofrito Well my introduction to xmen was the animated series and I was very young back then and didn't understand the language fully. The episode with the backstory of the experiment just showed him getting itchy hands for some reason while in the tank and the claws came out. I thought he had just animal characteristics and the adamantium skeleton+claws. We didn't really see him getting torn apart blasted and fully healing in the animated series, maybe it was cause of censorship.
when his claws gets out the pain will give him andreline and forward ⏩ to his enemies
For a good chunk of My life I thought the claws were a side effect of the adimantium infusion.
I thought man just got lolcuky with the genetic lottery and god said ya know what im gonna make you specifically be born qith a metal not even hulk is able to break then i watched x-men origins
yeah, whoever was responsible for that retcon just made wolverine more awesome, it makes total sense given his mutant abilities as you stated
Fun Facts: The healing factors was a byproduct of the bone claws. Because the hands aren't designed with slits, the bone claws often cut its way out, actually injuring him in the process. So the healing factors was developed to seal the wounds whenever the bone claws retracted. When Logan lost his healing factors, he couldn't risk using his claws as it will leave permanent wounds and he'll die of blood loss.
Thats not how it works at all because healing factors are very common in marvel
@@wintertrooper7918 bro, we have healing factors IRL! Just Marvel and DC had them super fast for power sets or plots.
@@joel1245 well i mean in marvel just about everyone has some form of accelerated healing

Love this about Wolverine.
I knew that the adamantium wasn’t part of it at first I knew it was just his bones that part I think everyone knows that man, but didn’t know the claws was part of the costume in the early days
It was actually the result of numerous retcons. First it was an implant grafted in as part of the Weapon X program, so for part of the 80s his claws were not only retractable but also had varying length. The retcon that made his claws a part of his skeleton didn't happen until the 90's storyline Fatal Attractions that ended with Magnito strippine the metal off Logan's bones. Wolverine eventually recovered but was as surprised that he still had claws as anyone else.
I mean ik a guy having his shit changed to adamantium is as illogical and mad it seems but having a thicc, strong asf, and shard claws comming out of his arms all the time don't make sense too me aswell 😅
It's called fiction, brother. 😅
I remember an episode from x men tas, back in the 90’s where Wolverine teams up with captain America in wwii and he had no claws. In the episode he wears a set of tiger claws that look similar to the adamanium claws he’d have later after weapon x
I remember watching an episode of X-Men or Spider-Man (cant remember) where he was fighting along side with Captain America in WWII, and Wolverine was wearing prosthetic metal claws, like Vega from Street Fighter 2 because he had not gotten adamantium claws. The 90s where wild
That’s not accurate. It was revealed in the 80s that his claws were not part of his suit. In a comic where he is captured along with another super hero his suit is taken away and he still uses his claws. That was a big reveal.
@@jonathanmatthews8862 so bone claws were part of his original physiology before adamantium fusion?
@@kevingamboa9420 no, bone claws were created after his adamantium was removed from his body. But his original character was conceived as a guy in a suit with claws attached. Then, when he was captured and had his suit taken away, he revealed that his claws were part of his body. Then, again, he made a startling reveal in the savage lands that his claws had nothing to do with his mutant abilities. It’s been a long development over the years.
@@jonathanmatthews8862 i read that comic, and i remember him falling to his knees due to the pain of popping his claws, and he just kept them outside to not have to endure that pain again

Yeah but he's slowly being poisoned by adamantium
I love a good retcon. One of the best in comics.
It's been retcond 2 times. 1st as part of the gloves, second as bionic & 3rd as organic bone claws.
And in one comic in the late 80's early 90's he gets captured and tortured to the point where he is exhausted and he specifically stated that it does not take physical strength to pop his claws. But a mental one.
"Did you guys know"
Everyone knows that, dude.
Just open the "Weapon X" comic book from 1991. It is clearly shown, that the claws, along with the MECHANISM, that pops them out, were implanted into Wolverine forearms as a part of experiment.
And even this was a change from the original concept you mentioned, i.e. claws being only the part of his gloves, when Wolverine appeared for the first time in one of the "Incredible Hulk" comic books.
It's just a content farm. There's probably not even an intelligent being behind the video.
"When they come out..does it hurt?"
"...everytime."
Bro fucking explained a retcon omg good lord
Believe it or not; as more people develop new interests more people will need more in depth information and explanations for terms or phrases
The pain he feels makes it that much worse for you when he gets his hands on you
another retcon was that wolverine wasn't a mutant at first
When I had contact with the character (before Magneto take out his adamantium), it was said that the claws were added by the government in the weapon-X experiment, but they weren't detachable.
The surprise was that he had bone claws and the claws weren't added in the weapon X experiments.
I have no idea if he ever detached his claws in early stories.
Nah, it was never shown. :) That's why when they changed it, it didn't really have any impact on the story... and made much more sense, as skintight gloves showed no hint of a hidden gadget.
@@EdNorthcott But it was said to be a gadget inside the arms, not in the glove .
By the time of his Frank Miller mini series the claws were switch blade type mechanisms surgically bonded to his bones and wired to his nervous system by Weapon X. The decision to make the bone claws retcon came in the early 90s when Magneto stripped the adamantium from his bones. Probably the stupidest retcon in comics history. Gnarled, pencil thick bone spikes don’t miraculously become recurved, razor blade thin, super sharp blades just because you put metal on them.
The only stupid thing in that continuity is weapon X just kidnapping Logan and pumping him full of adamantium without even running some x-rays on him first.
Researchers should have run tests on him for weeks before even cogitating the implants. Deciding to artificially shape his claws right before it (like it's shown to happen in X-23's backstory) would be very sound.
It's more effective weapon design, the thinner blades don't fuck his hands up so badly and it saves on adamantium costs.
@@marcosalmeida3947really running the florida mind set of "fucking *SEND IT* " lolol
@@marcosalmeida3947 How do gnarled, spurred, almost straight, bones with the thickness of a No.2 pencil, miraculously become recurved, laser sharp, double edged blades with the thickness of a razor blade, that make the mechanical sound of “snikt” when they snap into place?
@@williamsmith8790 Going by the cover of "Wolverine Origins 1", his claws are almost as thick as his fingers anywhere but at the tips. And going by my fingers (which are on the thinner side), and the hands of farmers and brick-layers I've met, that is a LOT thicker than a No.2 pencil.
I don't have a clear picture or direct statement, but I'm also pretty sure his claws are single edged, only sharpened at the bottom. I don't know how scientists did that, but considering neolithic people made sharp tools from bones, I assume scientists with top of the line equipment wouldn't have that hard a time. Infusing it with adamantium before they began healing is another matter, however.
As for the "mechanical" sound, I always read it more like "metal scrapping against a hard surface". Like in here: ua-cam.com/video/hv3k30sZ_a4/v-deo.html . There's a lot of adamantium covered bone for the claws to scrap against on their way out.
@@marcosalmeida3947 If you read Weapon X by Barry Windsor Smith, they act like the claws are a surprise. Same with the crappy movie. So there’s that. Guidebook to the Marvel Universe weapons edition did a complete breakdown on how the mechanical housings for the blades functioned and were surgically attached to the bones in his forearms. That came out in the late 80s I believe.
Genuinely one of the coolest superhero’s because of his claws. The reason why I loved the Logan movie so much was because they finally let him be so brutal and dark instead of just simply stabbing people.
Im still wondering, does it hurt him every time he slashes something?
Would it hurt to use your protruding bone as a weapon? Probably yes lol
because his claws are so sharp, most materials probably dont offer enough resistance to hurt him
@@jacoballen3532 aight
It definitely hurts everytime he pops them out through his skin.
Do your teeth hurts when you chew on something?
I appreciate the proper English here. It's extremely refreshing.
To keep him popular and to add to the legend, they gave him adamantium poisoning.Kinda silly being that it never bothered him before, until he gets the ailment apparently overnight.
It's not something that occurred overnight. Once adamantium was ripped off his body, his regenerative powers goes haywire and he becomes even more animalistic than he usually is, bloodthirsty and totally berserk
horrible writing job, it was this decision that was the start of a downside for Marvel.

I also remember in the cartoon as a kid, the claws were a side effect from the adamantium. It even went so far as when they were on an island that suppressed mutant abilities, he said “There’s nothing mutant about these!” as he went to defend his friends.
There was a time when he had the claws before bone claws were introduced. In Wolverine #50, the cover art depicts the mechanics behind his claws
The pain he endures, every time he puts on his gloves, damn...
yeah, I don't like the bone claws. The bionic / cyborg period makes more sense. Why would nature give him 3 claws per arm instead or 4 or 5... five being most natural, four matching primary fingers (ignoring thumb). Three only makes sense as an artistic flourish.
Why would nature give Storm the ability to control the weather? They're mutants, it's a fantastical concept where a genetic change leads to superpowers, it's not going to be realistic.
Agreed
It's so arbitrary how much they focused on his claws and only his claws and basically made his entire concept revolve around his claws
Claws

In X-Men #142, the 2nd part of the original Days of Future Past, there's a panel where we see Wolvie's skeleton lying on the floor after he's killed by a Sentinel. You can clearly see the mechanical housing on his forearm that his claws retracted into. That tracks with an earlier comment he'd made about cyborgs and how he'd almost become one himself. I could never get into the later "bone claws" retcon.

Originally, the claws were excess adamantium. Not detachable.

He means that the bone claws weren't written in until 1993. Until then, it had been established this guy was a government experiment with a mysterious past, and that was the only definite explanation we were going to get. It wasn't until 1993 that anyone considered he should have bone claws that even he was unaware of, and even then, it wasn't until 2002 that we were given any kind of origin for this guy beyond the weapon x project, confirming that he had always had bone claws, and even after all of that, it wasn't until late just this past year, 2023, that we finally, finally get to see just why his memory is so scrambled, why he didn't remember having bone claws in the first place.
That is to say, before 1993 we the readers, as well as Wolverine and everyone who knew him, we had no reason to think his claws were anything more than weapons the government had installed.

Another important character note. For decades, everyone thought the claws were pure adamantium and were created during the weapon X program adamantium infusion. But part of his body, not just in his gloves.
It was not revealed until the issue where the adamantium was stripped by Magneto that the claws were natural.
Remember that he had near total memory loss at that time and did not remember he had claws naturally.
It was revealed to himself and the team while he was training in the danger room, weeks after he had his adamantium stripped.
