Can anyone explain to me why Marvel has decided to make Wolverine a woman. Nothing against women but I see no scene of making Wolverine a woman.

Logan is still around granted it is Old Man Logan but it's still Logan nonetheless. The new Wolverine however is X-23 taking over from 616 Logan.

That's not Logan,Wolverines dead, that's X-23. She's taking up the mantle since he's gone.

Because women need a role model. Don't you know people can't be inspired be somebody different than themselves in any way?

I'm not really angry about Wolverine being X-23 since Logan is still around and X-23 is a pretty suitable candidate if you ask me. I like to think this as the Death of Superman where Logan is gone for a couple of years and she is honoring Logan's mantle as if saying there must always be a Wolverine.

They didn't "make Wolverine a woman." They just made X-23 wear his costume. Why are people overreacting? They didn't use some sorcery to make Logan a female, and it's not as if he won't be around anymore.

HOWEVER, I would agree with anyone out there who says that costume does not belong on a woman. It made me think she was bald for a minute. Say what you want. I don't like that costume on her. At least the mask.

@twentyfive: I think an Ultimate Wolverine type suit would look better on her. But that may just be me used to seeing her in dark outfits.

So its fine for a male character to pass on his mantle so long as its to another guy? Cause I don't remember people getting so worked up when Bucky became Cap, in fact I remember getting bitched at a lot because I didn't like Dick Grayson becoming Batman, I had no problem with the mantle passing on I just felt it was a lateral move for him.

Making Wolvwrine a woman would have actually made headlines... Wolverine always thought he was better as a woman, so he asks Apokolios for hel in the transformation. by Bendis and Leinil Yu. I don't like those two creators that's why I name dropped them.

LOL they are starting to call X-23 Wolverine now? F*ck it, let's have She-Hulk replace Hulk and just call her 'Hulk'. I mean, we don't want to be sexist right? Or we could call Rescue Iron Man from now on. Pepper Potts is clearly a chick, but the name 'Iron Man' is really prejudice.

Getting sick of all this bitching. This shit happens ALL THE TIME in comics (referring to Marvel and DC, btw).

I don't see why its a big deal now. Just sayin'.

@noone301994: Exactly! And Invisible Woman? Like being a woman is how a person is identified! She doesn't need a label or a man to tell her what she is! The level of prejudice in comics is insane. Maybe she's a gay man inside of a woman's body. To be forced into identifying as a woman is grossly offensive.

X-23 does not honor his memory. It is a parasite. All she has now it belonged to Logan. Name, costume, even the cover is taken from an old comic book Wolverine comics. I'm a longtime fan of Wolverine. Marvel just kills me.

@sentry4: not really. They aren't saying that people can't relate or be inspired, it's just easier/ more meaningful for a lot of them.
