Popularity is Wolverine's greatest super power, at least according to Deadpool. It's why he can never be killed. Well I think he was killed, but death isn't permanent in comics.

Fun fact: Wolverine was cut from the X-Men by the executives at Marvel because they thought no would like him. After about a year of mediocre sales, the execs didn't care what they did with X-Men so the writers only then introduced Wolverine. Then suddenly the X-Men was one of the best selling comics at Marvel.

    Hah, I'm old enough to remember how that actually went down in the struggling Marvel offices at the time. Early-to-mid 70's was his actual creation-moment IIRC.

    You should read Mark Evanier's blog if you're actually curious about this stuff...
