Deadpool and Wolverine: Every Wolverine variant, explained

As a die-hard Marvel fan with years of comic book knowledge under my belt, I must express my sheer excitement and admiration for the recent cinematic fusion of Deadpool and Wolverine. The success of these beloved characters, both critically and financially, is nothing short of astounding. Deadpool’s hilarious antics and Wolverine’s raw power have captivated audiences, and it’s a testament to the enduring appeal of these iconic figures.

1. In a brief span of time, the level of success for Deadpool and Wolverine is simply astounding (it garnered exceptional reviews and shattered box office records during its debut weekend). Yet, it’s not entirely surprising. Not only has Deadpool become a beloved franchise, but Marvel Studios delivered on fans’ long-standing desire by producing a film featuring Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson.

In this multiverse film, it’s no wonder we encounter various versions of Logan. The scope of the alternate realities is beautifully demonstrated.

Deadpool and Wolverine starts with Wade Wilson digging up Wolverine’s bones from Logan. Eventually, this leads Wade on an adventure throughout the multiverse looking for a Logan to bring to his universe. Two things are certain as he goes throughout the multiverse: First, every version of Wolverine hates Deadpool and some variants are silly. Here are the variants explained.

Patch

1. In Japan, both Logan (also known as Wolverine) and Patch are recognized figures. However, the name Patch often carries its own unique connotations separate from Logan in Japanese comic books. Despite his simple disguise consisting of an eyepatch and a suit, it’s worth noting that this isn’t much different from Superman’s disguise.

In an intricately detailed touch, the wardrobe team opted for a timeless white jacket and black trousers, complete with playing cards, mirroring Patch’s signature look.

Old Man Logan

Indeed, I initially assumed that Logan’s tale in Deadpool and Wolverine would mirror that of Old Man Logan. Yet, it didn’t develop into the heart-wrenching saga where Wolverine ends up killing the X-Men, as depicted in that specific storyline. Interestingly, though, Old Man Logan did make an appearance in the movie, with Hugh Jackman portraying the character.

1. Similarly, just as he behaved around his loved ones, Logan refrained from using his claws against Deadpool. Instead, he opted to shoot Wade.

Cavill-rine

For quite some time, Henry Cavill has been a popular choice among fans for the role of Wolverine; his rugged appearance and physique seemed perfectly suited for the part. Fans’ dreams came true, albeit partially, in the movie “Deadpool and Wolverine“. Instead of experiencing him as the main character in an entire film, they got a glimpse of what he would look like in that role. And boy, did he impress!

1. As Logan labored on a motorcycle, Deadpool admiringly referred to someone as “Cavill-rine,” which added a charming touch to the scene.

Comic book-accurate Wolverine

Critics who argued that Hugh Jackman’s height didn’t suit him for the role of Logan in live-action films were proven right when we considered a more faithful adaptation to the comics. In the comic books, Logan stands at just five feet three inches. However, portraying him as such on screen might not be visually appealing. Although CGI made it seem more comedic (as intended), having a taller Wolverine appears more effective in movies.

He’s still a short king, like Deadpool said!

Age of Apocalypse

1. In the Age of Apocalypse, Weapon X (also known as Wolverine) stood out among all the variants due to his striking appearance. He sported the same wild hair, distinctive costume, and metal forearm in place of his hand that was missing in this alternate timeline. His uncontrollable fury added an authentic touch. Amazingly, Deadpool managed to survive their encounters.

On an X Wolverine

1. In Uncanny X-Men issue 251, Wolverine suffered a defeat at the hands of the Reavers and was left crucified in the shape of an X by his assailants. Fortunately, Jubilee happened to be nearby and came to his aid.

In “Deadpool and Wolverine,” I was thrilled to see a tribute to a memorable moment from an earlier issue portrayed on the cover. The scene was enhanced with rain and skulls scattered around to amplify the impact. However, unlike Jubilee who helped free Logan in the original story, I watched as Wade left Logan impaled on the X.

The brown and yellow suit (and that Hulk cameo, too!)

In this scene, Deadpool and Wolverine blended two notable moments from the Marvel Comics. Initially, they referenced Wolverine’s iconic brown and yellow suit, which appeared in the comics during one of his costume changes. This change first occurred when he removed his whiskers from his mask before joining the X-Men, but it could also be considered the third change if we count his quick use of Fang’s costume in Uncanny X-Men No. 137.

An allusion to an unfulfilled promise in “The Wolverine” (2013) was addressed in this instance. A deleted scene depicted Logan receiving a briefcase containing his iconic yellow and brown Wolverine attire. Readers of comic books had anticipated seeing this costume in a film, which eventually transpired, more than a decade after the initial movie’s release.

Second is his fight with the Hulk while wearing the costume. On the cover of Incredible Hulk No. 340, you can see The Hulk in the reflection of Wolverine’s claws. This moment was replicated in the movie when Deadpool stood in front of the Jade Giant.

As a die-hard fan, I recently had the pleasure of witnessing Hugh Jackman don Wolverine’s iconic suit and engage in an epic showdown with none other than the Hulk! This battle is a scene that might not be repeated in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, making it a truly special moment to cherish.
