Howlett, James

ジェームズ・ハウレット / ウルヴァリン

Wolverine is a fierce mutant superhero known for his fierce loyalty. He is brawny, cranky, and prone to anger. In fact, during combat, he sometimes succumbs to berserker rages. Yet, he possesses a good heart. He ranks among Marvel's most popular superheroes, a status established long before actor Hugh Jackman donned Wolverine's black leather outfit and lupine-like coif. This popularity ensures that he appears in several different comic book titles each month to save the day, in addition to his presence in Saturday morning X-Men cartoons and films.
What makes Wolverine so appealing? He is the James Dean of superheroes: the safe "bad boy" with a short fuse and a tender heart—the loner who longs to belong. Moreover, Wolverine's fans—in his world and in ours—are won over by his tenacity, wry humor, and commitment to a person or cause. We admire who he is.
