Wolverine's claws can't be longer than his palms.

[BuddahMAC]

Didn’t they give him bone in the origins series too? I can’t remember

Yeah.

Len Wein's original idea was the claws were just in the gloves.

Claremont quickly nixed that and had the claws come out of Wolverine himself a few issues in when Logan broke out of restraints vs Sentinels. (Part of Claremont's slow build of his character revealing a little at a time).

Early on, the thought was his claws were something more mechanical (see Byrne's drawing of a Wolverine skeleton in panel 1 of this page from DOFP) developed by Weapon X and that's implied up through Windsor-Smith's Weapon X run in MCP.

But Wolvy w/ bone claws was actually part of Claremont's plan before he left the book, although his plans were to have Logan killed & resurrected by The Hand and be an assassin for them & a villain for a while. Part of that storyline was going to be a fight between him & Colossus where Pete rips out the claws from their roots and they eventually grow back as bone claws, implying they might have been that way from the beginning depending how he wanted to go with it. Good source on Claremont's plans before he left:

X-Men and X-Factor united

With Wolverine as the villain, Gambit as the betrayer, and Professor Xavier’s final battle with the Shadow King had writer Chris Claremont ...

Like usual, the post-Claremont writers took the 80 storylines Claremont & Simonsen had running through the backgrounds and drafted on them for years.

You haven't read x-men since the late 90s

Since apocalypse put them back in he used a process were the adamntium is not poisoning him. Hence his healing factor is just as good as before he got it

The last thing I read up on was Mr. Sinister enhancing Gambit to be able to charge organic matter too

X-Men will forever be better than Avengers

X-Men will forever be better than Avengers

Avengers technically were always B and C List characters that they put together in order to have a draw

The X-Men (specifically Wolverine) and Spiderman were always the major draws for Marvel until the mid 2000s, just like Batman has always been the major draw for DC

and really its just the og x-men

plus wolverine that are the draws.

Nobody cares about a movie like New Mutants for example with a bunch of c list x-men over the avengers

Yep

I've told people this multiple times. In the 90s you would get laughed at for putting the avengers on the same level as the X-Men

That's not Hickman. That's pure editorial directives at play.

Marvel Hinting At Gay Relationship Between Wolverine And Cyclops?

Wolverine is one of Marvel Comics' most beloved characters. And, over time, has been a bisexual icon. Now, he may be joining a polyamorous relationship.

Nah fam. 90's the birthplace of X-men Blue/Gold. Reborn was an event at the tail end of the decade.

Seems like it would be more realistic for those really old characters like Wolverine and cap to low key be homophobic and racist. This dude grew up in the 1800's even if he was gay he be on the down low most likely and pretending to be straight at best.
