I have that comic. A really good one. And it's Logan at his best, part of Uncanny.
It's worth pointing out that the X-Men were people (usually young) being drafted into roles which placed new and frightening demands upon their burgeoning powers.
Logan was the odd man out (and how). Apart from his very earliest appearances while he was still in development, one of his main points of difference was that he was older, seasoned, already an expert in his field (ie. tracking and close combat).
But I'm beginning to realise something:
OK,
So guys are the following comic characters SuperHeroes or something else?
The Hulk
Ghostrider
The Punisher
The Spectre
John Constantine
The Sandman (Neil Gaiman version)
Deadman
Adam Strange
Space Ranger
Adam Warlock
Shang-Chi
Morbius the Living Vampire
Rex the Wonder Dog
Looking at some of these guys, what do they have in common? You don't think they're super-heroes, and you especially don't think Logan's a super-hero. When I look at Wolverine, Hulk, Ghost Rider, Deadman, and Rex, I can't see any characters like the usual Silver Age DC type, ie. six feet tall, muscled, good-looking, clean-shaven... and that's just the women.
No wonder you can't accept Wolvie as a hero. And maybe that's one of the reasons I liked him. Instead of being six feet tall with noble bearing, he's short and stocky with big sideburns; he smokes, he's hairy, he's hardly attractive, and he hits first.
These characters don't fit that DC mould.
