[QUOTE]Originally posted by Woodside Kid: [QB] In the early 80s they used to drop occasional hints that Logan was a lot older than he looked. I remember one X-Men annual from the period had him mentally comment that the situation reminded him "of that bloody winter below Monte Cassini", a hint that Logan had fought in Italy in WWII. Supposedly at the time the in-house origin for Wolverine had him being 60 years old, and Sabretooth was 120 years old and his father. It's like the changes with his skeleton. Originally it was supposed to be entirely adamantium. Then they changed it to being laced with adamantium (apparently someone realized that whoever did this to him would have had one hell of a time threading the vertebrae around his nerves). The claws were always supposed to be built into bionic housings in the forearms (how these were able to extend through his wrists without seriously wrecking the joints was another thing never addressed). Then one of the writers had him pop his claws [i]after[/i] losing the adamantium, and boy, did that generate comments! (To Marvel's credit, the first time he did it after losing the adamantium, [i]everyone[/i] was shocked -- even Logan!) One interesting thing about the way the claws extended in the [i]Origins[/i] mini-series. Instead of popping out between his metacarpals (the bones of the palms) as the movies and most of the comics have his claws do, the artist has them extending from the surfaces of the first three palm bones themselves. While this makes sense from the aspect of the whole wrist joint problem, it raises another difficulty: just how the blazes would he be able to do that after his bones have been sheathed in adamantium? Isn't the stuff supposed to be indestructible? [/QB][/QUOTE]
