    Wolverine

    Character » Wolverine appears in 16086 issues.

    A long-lived mutant with the rage of a beast and the soul of a Samurai, James "Logan" Howlett's once mysterious past is filled with blood, war, and betrayal. Possessing an accelerated healing factor, keenly enhanced senses, and bone claws in each hand (along with his skeleton) that are coated in adamantium; Wolverine is, without question, the ultimate weapon.

    Is Marvel planning to give us a black Wolverine?

    Well, they gave us a black Spider-man in Ultimate Universe. So why not right? I think black Wolverine would be awesome. : )

    You know, I made a giant response about why what you wrote made no sense but I figured you wouldn't understand.

    Black Wolverine probably isn't a character worth making since white Wolverine already exists. I think it would be a better idea if they made a new black character that could stand on his own two feet instead of parasitically living off of the Wolverine name. His name shouldn't have the word Black in it either.

    Maybe take an already existing character like Blade or Brother Voodoo and give them a series that isn't garbage. Wolverine didn't become popular because he was Wolverine. Wolverine became popular because good writers wrote some really well written stories.

    The last thing Marvel needs is another leech character attached to one of the big names.

    We don't need a black wolverine even though it would be awesome and i would totally read that, Anywho i think it would be great if Marvel introduced a new story arc introducing a new Weapon X character who was Black

    Wouldn't there have to be a person with claws and a healing factor who got the adamantium treatment?

    What are the chances of that same thing happening twice?

    I personally think if Marvel were to just plug Black Panther more, he could be one of their premiere and most popular heroes.

    This.

    Yeah, the concept of 'Black Wolverine' sounds a little silly to me. I don't really see the logic of replacing Wolverine with an African-American counterpart. Whereas Ultimate Peter Parker's death was to illustrate the dangerous world of the Ultimate Universe, and Miles Morales added more racial diversity into the universe....I don't think there would be a point to a black Wolverine. I'd rather much see a black superhero elevated to Wolverine's level of popularity!

    Miles would have been a better character if he was his own hero and not Spider-man. He's being written well enough.

    I'm not disputing that. I'm just saying that the idea that there is no need for a black Wolverine because there is already a white one doesn't make sense to me. There wasn't really a need for a Black Fury,a Black Spider-Man,a Black Nighthawk etc. but Marvel did it anyway.

    It makes perfect sense because those other characters you named weren't worth making either :p

    Multiple wrongs don't make a right.

    Black Wolverine is not worth making. It is such a one dimensional change.

    How would creators pitch color swaps anyway? "Wolverine... BUT BLACK!"

    but I think a black wolverine is completely pointless.

    It's like "HEY,i got a GREAT idea,let's make a black wolveine...because making black versions of already existing characters is totally what we aim to do".

    That's also like saying,let's make a black black widow.Or a black hawkeye. It's just pointless and utterly ridiculous,and overall stupid IMO

    I know my logic is flawed and whatever, but this is a terrible idea. Wolverine is a over 100 year old Canadian. To me that screams White Dude. Like Magneto he's a German from the Holocaust(White.) It would be like making a White T'Challa his origin goes against that. I don't mind Static, Luke Cage, Spidey, Cyke, Jean, Hawkeye, Superman, Joker, and etc... that's just me though. PS Miles Morales would be a C-List/B-List character right now if he had his own identity. Black Spider(a name Kaine Parker wants), Red Widow, White/Black Tarantula, Anansi, & etc. (+)

    but now we're getting this cliche Nick Fury Jr (I sh*t you not, that's what they decided to name him) shoved down our throats

    So yeah, Marvel deciding to make Wolverine black for some random nonsensical reason sounds about right to me.

    Yes there is a precedent for blackening characters. Nothing points to Wolverine being next. He could be next. No one at the moment has any evidence to back it up. The original poster's thought process is "We have a black Spider-man, Wolverine is next". I don't see any legitimate connection there. All these black/white characters are useless. There are great black characters like Black Panther and Blade, who here is really for blackening characters? Its a dumb way to cash in on big names. It wouldn't be cool at all. its lazy storytelling. Black is beautiful but it doesn't add to the story. :p

    i think they should have just use luke cage more or black panther  in the ultimate universe, besides storm. 
     luke cage could be a great character given the right writer besides bendis. 
     i wish quentin taranrino would  make a luke cage movie.

    If Marvel insists on continuing to make black versions of their established characters, they should just go whole hog and do what DC did: Create a separate, alternate dimension where EVERYONE is black. Everybody wins.

    how the heck would they come up with a black wolverine? they would need to make a new universe just for wolverine. maybe wolverine could have another kid who's black but you cant really kill off wolverine and replace him with a black one. they could try that in a reboot of the eXiles series that showed a team of superheroes from different 'verses traveling around through other different 'verses, saving them. thats the only way i think a black wolverine could be introduced. then there would be a question of whether or not he would be there to stay or if he would just be a fleeting character that pops up in a few comic books before being left behind.
