X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a prequel to all prior entries in the X-Men Film Series; it focuses on Logan's Mysterious, Dark and Troubled Past from his childhood up until several years before he hooked up with Professor Xavier's gifted students.On a cold Canadian night in 1845, James "Jimmy" Howlett sprouts claws made of bone and kills a man; he and his half-brother, Victor Creed, escape into the night together. Over the next century, Jimmy and Victor tear a bloody swathe through the American Civil War, both World Wars, and Vietnam—and during Vietnam, the Army has them both executed (Victor for killing a superior officer, Jimmy for defending Victor).And that execution would have stuck if the half-brothers hadn't possessed the Healing Factor that gives them near-immortality. Since the execution merely "tickled" the duo, Colonel William Stryker exonerates them of their war crimes and recruits them into a squadron of mutant soldiers who perform morally reprehensible tasks for the American government. Jimmy leaves in disgust after one massacre of innocents too many, while Victor—who enjoys his job way too much—stays with Stryker.Several years later, Jimmy—now calling himself Logan—is forced to deal with his past when Stryker tries to recruit him back into the team... and an enraged Victor later kills Logan's lover. Stryker reapproaches Logan and offers a deal: if he undergoes an operation to reinforce his skeleton with adamantium, he'll have a chance for his revenge against Victor. Logan survives the operation due to his healing factor, then escapes from Stryker's clutches before a planned memory wipe—and vows to kill both Stryker and Victor.A follow-up to this film, The Wolverine, was released in 2013. Originally envisioned a sequel to this movie, it evolved into a sequel to X-Men: The Last Stand instead. This film was also the first of a planned Origins Spin-Off series that would've been followed by X-Men Origins: Magneto, which was scrapped and remade heavily into X-Men: First Class. | |

Parrying Bullets: Wade Wilson is good enough with his twin katanas to deflect fully automatic fire from widely-spaced sources mostly by spinning them really fast. At one point he splits a bullet in half, which goes on to take out two mooks behind him. | |

Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: For all its faults, the film's opening montage of the many wars the US has been in did show Victor's decline from a soldier doing his job to a ruthless killer quite nicely without being really obvious about it. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
| X-Men Origins: Wolverine / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: Minor example: TV commercials would feature some of the other mutants in the movie, with one of them noting Emma Frost. Her role in the movie is to turn into diamond at one point, making her more of a cameo than the semi-major character the commercial played her up to be. This has happened with other characters like Deadpool as well. Some comments have been made about how ridiculous it is that a whole 30 seconds said more about the characters than their screen time throughout the entire film. | |

Death by Origin Story | |
| X-Men Origins: Wolverine / int_1aa76d29 | comment |
Death by Origin Story: The film has Love Interest Kayla. Being Logan, a character who in the comics collects dead lovers and was unattached in the first three movies, it seemed she is doomed to die, and the film doesn't disappoint... at first. But when it's revealed he death was faked and their affair false, the trope seems averted. But then it turns out she really loved him... so she's dead as a doornail by the end, and the now amnesiac Wolverine doesn't even know to cry over her corpse. Tragic in all the wrong ways. Then there's John Howlett, Wolverine's father, who is killed by the groundskeeper Thomas Logan in a drunken rage. The trauma of witnessing this activates young James' mutation: bone claws, which he uses to kill Thomas Logan, supposedly avenging his father's death. With his dying breath, Thomas Logan reveals that he, not John Howlett, is his real father. | |

The Cameo | |
| X-Men Origins: Wolverine / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: A younger version of Cyclops, as one of the mutants targeted by Stryker. His power is copied and put into Weapon XI, and ends up destroying most of Three Mile Island as a result. An uncredited and digitally rejuvenated Patrick Stewart as Professor X. Several characters from the comic book can also be seen in the Weapon X scenes: Quicksilver, Banshee, and Toad, specifically. Others are harder to distinguish on sight. When Stryker and General Munsen are discussing Stryker's preparations for the upcoming human/mutant war, a young Jason Stryker can be seen frozen in one of the People Jarsnote the one Stryker brushes off with his hand before General Munsen asks him if he hates mutants. | |

Aborted Arc | |
| X-Men Origins: Wolverine / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: The film ended with the reveal that Deadpool had survived being decapitated, setting the character up for future appearances. The poor portrayal, coupled with the movie's mediocre earnings, led to the studio abandoning any plans for a sequel for several years, and releasing the unrelated The Wolverine instead. A solo Deadpool (2016) movie was released in 2016, but it's completely unconnected to this film (aside from the many fourth wall-breaking shots taken at this film by the lead character). | |

Related in the Adaptation | |
| X-Men Origins: Wolverine / int_24067bb9 | comment |
Related in the Adaptation: The film makes Sabretooth Wolverine's half-brother (as opposed to simply being another Weapon X experiment). Though it seemed to be Fanon before the movie was filmed, due to Dog (Wolverine's half-brother in the comic) having a resemblance to Sabretooth, this was later contraindicated. This also makes him a Composite Character. Silverfox is the sister of, well, a character with diamond skin named "Emma", but whom Continuity Snarl means can't really be Emma Frost, although that was clearly the intention. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| X-Men Origins: Wolverine / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: Hoo boy. Even though the film is set in the mid 1970s, the film doesn't seem to stick with that. John Wraith uses a massively anachronistic H&K G36K rifle with AG36 underbarrel grenade launcher, some 20 odd years before the rifle or grenade launcher were ever developed. Humvees are shown pursuing Wolverine on his motorcycle. The Humvee wasn't introduced until 1984. Agent Zero uses a PT92 and a PT92 Inox as his pistols of choice. The PT92 wasn't introduced until the 1980s, and the Inox came around in the 1990s. Multiple times video monitors and screens are shown displaying footage at levels not possible with 1970s-era technology. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| X-Men Origins: Wolverine / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: In the comics, Deadpool's nickname is "The Merc with the Mouth". Here, he's the Merc with No Mouth. Stryker's ultimate mutant weapon being called "Weapon XI", in reference to the revelation in the comics that "Weapon X" actually meant "Weapon Ten". Which means that if Weapon XI is Wade Wilson, and Weapon X is Wolverine, there were nine previous attempts. Stryker can be seen wearing a silver cross necklace in the scene where he goes to meet Logan in the hospital, likely as a nod to the fact that he was a priest (not a military officer) in the comics. Deadpool never dons his trademark costume, but Wade wears a red T-shirt as a nod to his comic outfit. Also, during the final fight, there's a brief close-up of Deadpool charging up his Eye Beams, which causes his face to resemble his comic counterpart's mask. | |

Even Evil Has Standards: The generals allow for Stryker to carry out his Weapon XI project. However, one of them calls Stryker out when telling him that he suspects that Stryker's motivations are basically out of Fantastic Racism. This gets him killed by Stryker. Dukes clearly is disturbed by what Stryker does on Three Mile Island. | |

Poorly Disguised Pilot | |
| X-Men Origins: Wolverine / int_38b05ae7 | comment |
Poorly Disguised Pilot: The film has been stated to be a testing bed for films based on Gambit and Deadpool. The fact that the two were the most common points of criticism (Gambit for Advertised Extra, Deadpool for They Changed It, Now It Sucks!) would tell you it didn't work. However, Ryan Reynolds's Wade Wilson from before his disfigurement (plus in The Stinger) is still considered quite awesome, and Reynolds would later star as Deadpool in his own feature film. That said, since X-Men Origins: Wolverine is no longer canon, the Deadpool movie completely disregards its events (outside of taking potshots at them). And while a Gambit movie is in the works, it will also treat Origins as non-canon. | |

Compelling Voice | |
| X-Men Origins: Wolverine / int_38f3321 | comment |
Kayla Silverfox has a Compelling Voice (which does require physical contact, but isn't shown to be blocked by clothing), yet still winds up being blackmailed by Stryker holding her sister hostage, despite several instances where she's within range to reach out, grab him, and order him to release her sister (and anything else she likes). The Stryker portrayed in X2: X-Men United ("Kill anyone who comes near, even if it's me!") probably would have had something in place to stop this from working, but the Stryker in this film (who's at least partially responsible for the first Too Dumb to Live example) probably wouldn't. She doesn't even attempt to use her power on him until she's literally dying. | |

Foregone Conclusion: It's a given that Logan, Sabretooth, and Stryker will all survive the film. Logan will receive his adamantium skeleton from the Weapon X program. Finally, Logan's memories of everything in his life up to, and including, the events of the film will somehow be erased by the end of the film. | |

| X-Men Origins: Wolverine / int_4583a262 | comment |
Shirtless Scene: The film took this to an extreme, which was much to the delight of Hugh Jackman fangirls. During a dramatic escape scene, not only does he erupt from a tank of water completely shirtless (and indeed naked) (muscles + dripping water...) but he then proceeds to escape, running and fighting his way out of the building. Viewers get a lovable full-body shot (in which censorship is barely provided by his leg from a mostly-side-shot) when he jumps off a waterfall. | |

If You Kill Him, You Will Be Just Like Him!: Played dead straight, by Logan's squeeze Kayla, in regards to him killing off Sabretooth and/or Stryker. Two men, who have been rounding up mutants like cattle, are effectively above the law, and will most likely continue to hunt Logan down as long as he lives. All of which could be solved by a little extra stabbing... Kayla at least holds herself to the same standards—when she has Stryker at the mercy of her hypnosis power and could force him to commit Psychic-Assisted Suicide, she instead only commands him to throw his gun away and walk until his feet are bleeding. While she lies dying, no less, and after Styker shoots Wolverine twice in the head, erasing his memory of her. | |

Artistic License – History | |
| X-Men Origins: Wolverine / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: The movie claims to start in the Northwest Territories, Canada, in 1845—except that the Northwest Territories would not become a part of Canada until 1870 (and the borders of the vast area were gradually changed until 1905, which resulted in the creation of 4 provinces and 2 territories). Canada itself did not gain dominion status until 1867. It would have been more accurate to caption the scene as "North-Western Territory, British North America". | |

| X-Men Origins: Wolverine / int_57b80b45 | comment |
The generals allow for Stryker to carry out his Weapon XI project. However, one of them calls Stryker out when telling him that he suspects that Stryker's motivations are basically out of Fantastic Racism. This gets him killed by Stryker. | |

Pragmatic Adaptation: In the comics, Fred Dukes, a.k.a. the Blob, is a mutant whose specific abilities seem to revolve around being morbidly obese. In the film however, Dukes is physically fit until he develops an eating disorder, but his super strength is what allows him to carry his own weight. | |

Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Less than a minute into his first appearance, Wade Wilson clearly establishes himself as obnoxious and immature, and almost incapable of ever shutting up, no matter how much he annoys everyone around him (a lot, all the time). He's an excellent soldier/assassin, however, and this, more than anything, is probably the main reason anyone puts up with him. | |

Freeze-Frame Bonus: When John Wraith teleports, going frame-by-frame reveals that, unlike fellow X-Men characters Nightcrawler and Azazel, Wraith teleports in at least two phases—first his skeleton materializes, and then his body, clothes and all.

Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames | |
| X-Men Origins: Wolverine / int_643879c7 | comment |
Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames: Invoked a few times: The name "Blob" is only mentioned once, as an insulting nickname that Fred Dukes hates. Even then, it only comes up when Freddie mishears Logan calling him "Bub." "Gambit" is only briefly mentioned as Remy LeBeau's nickname that the prison guards gave him because he always beat them at poker. "Deadpool" isn't spoken until the end of the movie, when it's used as a callsign for Weapon XI. Other than that, he's either "Wade" or "Weapon XI". Victor's nickname Sabretooth is never mentioned. This is possibly to skirt the fact that he's so radically different from the Sabretooth we met in the first X-Men film in looks and personality that it's almost impossible to believe they're the same character. Of course, averted by the main character. Although he's more frequently called "James" or "Logan", he fully embraces the codename "Wolverine" by requesting to add it to his military tags, replacing his actual name. | |

Wolverine Claws | |
| X-Men Origins: Wolverine / int_64c8eea8 | comment |
Wolverine Claws: Wolverine grows three retractable claws of bone in each hand in childhood, and has them upgraded to unbreakable, razor-sharp adamantium along with the rest of his skeleton later in the film. Sabretooth has Wolverine Claws, what with him being Wolverine's brother. They grow out of his fingernails and are shorter than Wolverine's, but clearly operate on the same principle. | |

Like Cannot Cut Like | |
| X-Men Origins: Wolverine / int_6678bcda | comment |
Like Cannot Cut Like: Wolverine faces Weapon XI, which has adamantium katanas. William Stryker shoots Wolverine in the head with adamantium bullets (which is kinda justified, as a bullet, which is really fast, could have more impact than a blade). Doesn't kill him, but it does give him amnesia—presumably the shock of the impact gave him severe brain damage and his Healing Factor couldn't piece all his memories back together. Though why this doesn't result in a pair of .44 caliber holes in Logan's adamantium skull is unclear, since his healing factor can't grow back the implanted metal. | |

Teleport Spam | |
| X-Men Origins: Wolverine / int_67e9f779 | comment |
Teleport Spam: Weapon XI effectively fights Victor and Wolverine at the same time by porting back and forth atop the ledge they're all standing on. John Wraith. Weapon XI did borrow it from him, after all. Which doesn't help much when Victor figures out that he teleports in a predictable pattern, and gets him to teleport into roughly the same area as Victor's claws, with predictable results. | |

I Am a Monster: In one of the TV spots, Sabretooth utters this chilling line, which is either a Shout-Out or a ripoff of Seth Brundle's "insect politics" speech from The Fly (1986), which itself is an homage to the Japanese poem, "I dreamed I was a butterfly, flitting around in the sky; then I awoke.

Silverfox makes Colonel Stryker put the muzzle of his revolver with One Bullet Left under his chin, but doesn't make him pull the trigger, instead telling him to walk away until his feet bleed and then keep walking. As the film is a prequel to X2, she couldn't have killed him anyway. | |

Adaptation Explanation Extrication | |
| X-Men Origins: Wolverine / int_794f3589 | comment |
Adaptation Explanation Extrication: It's all there in the source material, presented with Broad Strokes. Wolverine: Origin by Bill Jemas, Joe Quesada and Paul Jenkins, is loosely adapted into the introduction showing Wolverine's childhood. The story and movie both reveal Logan's name is James Howlett. In the comic story, James shares a childhood with his half-brother Dog Logan, who was rumored to be Sabretooth; Sabretooth and Wolverine being brothers and sharing a childhood together was a persistent rumor in the comics. The film keeps the interpretation that James' brother is Sabretooth, and that they grew up together. The comics no longer follow this plot, as Dog Logan was revealed to be a completely different character than Sabretooth. Barry Windsor-Smith's run on Marvel Comics Presents #72–84, "Weapon X", is loosely adapted into the Weapon X scene, as far as Wolverine receiving adamantium from an organization, Wolverine being known as Weapon X during the procedure, and Wolverine escaping from the facility. Wolverine vol. 2 #1-65 introduces pivotal aspects of Wolverine's past including Silverfox, Team X, and Sabretooth's recurring rivalry and torment of Wolverine. This was also where Sabretooth's familial connection to Wolverine was hinted at before the publication of Wolverine: Origin. Agent Zero's history with Weapon X and Team X is scattered throughout X-Men #5-7, #10-11, Maverick #1-12, Wolverine #60-64, and Wolverine Annual September 1995. He is not known as Agent Zero until the revived Weapon X program under Malcolm Colcord, from Wolverine #166 onward. Sabretooth dares Logan to pop his claws into Sabretooth's face, like a scene in Wolverine #90. Mastadon appears as a member of Team X in Wolverine #48, and #61-62. In the film, his role is replaced by The Blob, who was not part of Team X in the comic. The comic book version of Deadpool was formerly part of the Weapon X program which gave him his healing factor. The film plays with this by turning Deadpool into a member of Team X, and later, Weapon XI. The aftermath of Fatal Attractions (Marvel Comics) establishes that Wolverine's mutation originally included bone claws and the adamantuim only merely coated the claws. This is confirmed when Rogue uses Wolverine's powers, and she grows bone claws of her own. New X-Men is the initial appearance of Emma Frost's diamond form, but this has nothing to do with Wolverine's origin. What is relevant is the series introducing the concept of Weapon X being the tenth Weapon project, one project of a larger program, with other weapon numbers being assigned to other Weapon projects. The film takes this as far as introducing Weapon XI, but doesn't go into more detail on the other projects. | |

Left Hanging: The film ends with two Sequel Hooks in The Stinger. One reveals that Deadpool is still alive, and the other has an ominous scene showing Logan in Japan. The next movie, The Wolverine, takes place decades later and ignores both of those bits, and while a Deadpool movie was eventually made, it treats this movie as completely non-canon (outside of taking potshots at it). | |

Deadpool retains his sarcastic sense of humor, Motor Mouth & katanas... and even those fall by the wayside by the time of the main events of the movie. While he does undergo a procedure to give him a copy of Wolverine's Healing Factor that leaves his body horrifically scarred just like in the comics, he's also saddled with Cyclops' optic blasts, Wraith's teleportation (he uses a device in the comics) and a pair of Blades Below the Shoulders, and just to add insult to injury, his mouth is sewn shut. | |

Adaptational Nice Guy: In the comics, pre-X-Men Logan was a legitimate asshole and cold blooded killer who would have been very much ideologically aligned with the films' version of Stryker (something Stryker alludes to in X2: X-Men United). In this film he's shown to be generally decent and a reluctant participant in the X Team's more morally dubious actions, and abandoning the team when he finally listens to his conscience. | |

Foreshadowing: Stryker says to Wade Wilson that he'd be the perfect soldier if he didn't have such a mouth. Stryker later turns Wade into a mutated super-soldier who literally has no mouth. Kayla gets a man to back off from a confrontation with Logan, attributing it to "female powers of persuasion." She earlier fails to convince Logan not to confront the man in the first place. She's using her mutant power, which doesn't work on Sabretooth either—also hinting that her feelings for Logan are genuine since she can't just make him fall for her. | |

Canon Discontinuity | |
| X-Men Origins: Wolverine / int_a32334b4 | comment |
Canon Discontinuity: A very well known example of this trope. After the film came out, no one was really happy with the result (from the fans to the production team—even Hugh Jackman has stated it didn't feel like a Wolverine movie), and the various contradictions it has with the original trilogy. The prequel franchise was then rejiggered with X-Men: First Class (containing a completely different Emma Frost) and this film is ignored almost entirely in Days of Future Past, where even The Last Stand is taken into account. Minor references to Origins in other films include an audio clip of Wolverine yelling, "Kayla!" that plays when Wolverine is unconscious during The Wolverine, and footage of Sabertooth stepping on his bone claws appearing when Xavier looks into his mind in Days of Future Past. Logan features his old dog tags and the adamantium bullet, which becomes a Chekhov's Gun. We also get some potshots taken at Weapon XI in Deadpool (2016). And some literal shots in Deadpool 2. | |

Healing Factor | |
| X-Men Origins: Wolverine / int_a5fb0d24 | comment |
William Stryker shoots Wolverine in the head with adamantium bullets (which is kinda justified, as a bullet, which is really fast, could have more impact than a blade). Doesn't kill him, but it does give him amnesia—presumably the shock of the impact gave him severe brain damage and his Healing Factor couldn't piece all his memories back together. Though why this doesn't result in a pair of .44 caliber holes in Logan's adamantium skull is unclear, since his healing factor can't grow back the implanted metal. | |

Oh, Crap!: Wolverine has one during his climatic fight against Deadpool when it's revealed that Deadpool has teleporting powers. Zero sports an epic one when he tries to shoot a bullet into Logan's head to (temporarily) take him out, which would have worked if he had normal human bones. Instead, it just bounces off his now indestructible skull and Logan just growls. | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
| X-Men Origins: Wolverine / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: The military needs to stop Wolverine, who they've made immune to almost all weapons. To stop him they have at their disposal: An incredibly skilled marksman, and adamantium bullets capable of penetrating the adamantium shell around his skull and incapacitating him. Somehow the idea that they should combine these two things doesn't seem to occur to them. Said marksman also thinks it's a good idea to take a jab at Wolverine when he has decided to let him live. After seeing the guy take down a helicopter. John Wraith, whose only power is teleportation and who thinks the best way to take down a big angry guy with claws and a huge healing factor is to punch him out. Kayla Silverfox has a Compelling Voice (which does require physical contact, but isn't shown to be blocked by clothing), yet still winds up being blackmailed by Stryker holding her sister hostage, despite several instances where she's within range to reach out, grab him, and order him to release her sister (and anything else she likes). The Stryker portrayed in X2: X-Men United ("Kill anyone who comes near, even if it's me!") probably would have had something in place to stop this from working, but the Stryker in this film (who's at least partially responsible for the first Too Dumb to Live example) probably wouldn't. She doesn't even attempt to use her power on him until she's literally dying. | |

The film makes Sabretooth Wolverine's half-brother (as opposed to simply being another Weapon X experiment). Though it seemed to be Fanon before the movie was filmed, due to Dog (Wolverine's half-brother in the comic) having a resemblance to Sabretooth, this was later contraindicated. This also makes him a Composite Character. | |

"London, England" Syndrome | |
| X-Men Origins: Wolverine / int_c919de1d | comment |
"London, England" Syndrome: A variation with territory and country listed occurs in the case of "Northwest Territories, Canada." The American writers clearly didn't do their research because a portion of this region didn't enter the Canadian Confederation until 1870 (and the other sections were later divided up into separate provinces and territories over the next few decades), so in 1845, it should've been referred to as "North-Western Territory, British North America." James Howlett and Victor Creed were therefore born as British citizens (although presumably it would've been easy for them to obtain Canadian citizenship after the Dominion of Canada was founded in 1867). "Lagos, Nigeria." | |

Title Confusion | |
| X-Men Origins: Wolverine / int_cfeb01b3 | comment |
Title Confusion: This film has the unnecessarily lengthy title X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and is referred to simply as Wolverine by most sane people. X-Men Origins is a bit of an Artifact Title; it was originally intended to be the first of a series of prequels focusing on the backgrounds of various characters (X-Men Origins: Magneto was in the works but got lost in Development Hell). Had this happened, the title, while still long, would have at least made sense because "X-Men Origins" would be the series name and "Wolverine" would be the movie name. Not helped by the addition of The Wolverine to the franchise, so simply trying to talk about the film "Wolverine" will lead to confusion between this film and that one. Or, if the person you're talking to is particularly cheeky, confusion between all the X-Men films pre-X-Men: First Class, thanks to Wolverine's Spotlight-Stealing Squad status. | |

Unobtanium: Adamantium comes from meteors. Specifically, sacred African meteors, making it this continuity's answer to Vibranium. Thus completing the transformation begun in the Ultimate Avengers films. | |

Continuity Drift: When Sabretooth first meets Wolverine in X-Men, he never gives any indication that he knows who Wolverine is, even though he spends more time with him than with any of the X-Men. This film later reveals that, not only do the two have an extensive history together (going back to the mid-1800's), they're actually half-brothers. | |

Cumbersome Claws: Shortly after escaping from William Stryker's facility and taking refuge in an old couple's farmhouse, Logan decides to extend and retract his claws to test out the new adamantium plating on them. He then attempts to test his new abilities in the farm's bathroom only to accidentally slice a sink and a radiator into half. | |

Absurdly Sharp Blade: Shortly after Logan receives his adamantium infusion, he slices up several items in a farmhouse bathroom (including a porcelain sink) with his now impossibly sharp claws, despite applying what appears to be no more than the force required to move an unrestrained arm. Wade's katanas are sharp enough to split a bullet in half. | |

Composite Character: The film went along with the comic book's then implication of Dog Logan and Victor Creed/Sabretooth being the same individual; years later, however, the comics show Dog and Sabretooth as not being the same person. Movie Victor also takes on Rose's role from the Origin comic as the person who helped Logan run away. Kayla, despite sharing the name of Silver Fox, largely fills the same role as Itsu, Logan's Japanese wife in the comics who is killed by the Winter Soldier. | |

No Endor Holocaust: If the film is to be believed, Wolverine is at least partially responsible for the Three Mile Island leak, aka one of the things that helped kill nuclear power, and the first major leak in American history. Granted, Weapon XI could have stopped firing, but you've got to wonder what Wolvie was thinking causing his head to fall into the cooling tower. | |

Ignore the Disability | |
| X-Men Origins: Wolverine / int_e6382176 | comment |
Ignore the Disability: Used with a twist. Wraith warns Logan not to mention Dukes' extreme weight gain, as he is sensitive about it. The very first thing that Logan says is "Hey, Fat— uh, Fred!" It's clearly accidental, but as Dukes doesn't seem to care, Logan continues doing it on purpose, calling him "Slim" and the like. Logan doesn't hit the Berserk Button until he uses the word Bub, which Dukes mishears as Blob. The joke here is that Fred Dukes is a long-standing Marvel Comics villain, who uses the identity "The Blob". | |

Old Money: Judging by the refined manners of John Howlett and the grandeur of the mansion, James Howlett was born into wealth. However, he learns when he was around 13 years old that his mother Elizabeth had an affair with Thomas Logan, his family's groundskeeper, and is their illegitimate child. After the death of both his stepfather and biological father, James runs away from home, and he has been scratching a living ever since. | |

Laser-Guided Amnesia | |
| X-Men Origins: Wolverine / int_e7b0229a | comment |
Laser-Guided Amnesia: The film features quite possibly one of the most painful instances of this trope. An antagonist loads a gun with adamantium bullets, knowing he can't kill Wolverine with them, but intends to give him Laser-Guided Amnesia by shooting him in the head. He succeeds, wiping Wolverine's memory with no other side-effects. Wolverine's memories don't "grow back", but his ability to speak, read, walk, recognize police cars, hide from police cars, etc, do. | |
