-During the earliest stages of Wolverine's creation, Roy Thomas debated whether to call him that or "the Badger". He eventually opted for "Wolverine" since the other name had connotations that included pestering, bothering being annoying.
-Wolverine was drastically different
when Len Wein first introduced him.
Wein envisioned the character as
being young, in his early twenties
as much; as his claws were
originally part of his gloves rather
than his own body.
-One of the initial plans by David
Cockrum and Chris Claremont
when they took over X-Men was to reveal Logan was an
actual wolverine evolved into a humanoid by the High
Evolutionary. According to Cockrum himself, Stan Lee
nixed the idea.
-Foom #2 has a prototype of Wolverine by comic fan Andy Olsen which was published a year and a half before Wolverine's first appearance. Andy's concept of The Wolverine had regenerative abilities, a metal exoskeleton, and was the product of experimentation. It's assumed Chris Claremont was inspired by Andy Olsen's concept since none of this wasn't seen nor mentioned til Claremont took over X-Men.
-Chris Claremont intended for Apocalypse to be behind the original adamantium injection in Logan's body. When Barry Windsor-Smith explored Wolverine's past as Weapon X, for no reason other than courtesy towards Claremont, he introduced the idea of Professor Truett Hudson taking orders from an unrevealed higher-up, to allow Claremont to reveal said superior was Apocalypse.
-According to Vindicator, it is not Wolverine's powers or fighting skills that make him dangerous, but his mind.
-Wolverine's healing factor requires large amounts of calories to operate, especially after recovering from severe injuries.
-Wolverine carries a medical card stating that he is a war veteran who has a metal plate in the head, to help him bypass metal detectors in airports.
-Wolverine made a cameo appearance in the
pages of DC's JLA #1. In the scene, Wolverine
and Doctor Doom are executed by a
supervillain team known as the Hyperclan.
The scene was written by Grant Morrison.
-Once a year, Wolverine ventures into the
woods on Native American land to remind
himself that he is more of a man than an
animal after a Native man helped to remind him of that fact during a period when he was more feral, in part by imparting the 'wise tale' of the 'two dogs' "Inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil. The other dog is good. The mean dog fights the good dog, all of the time." When asked which dog wins, he reflected for a moment and replied "The one I feed the most." During one of the yearly excursions, he met Maya Lopez who was on a vision quest, and told the story to her and how he felt it related to him, the man who told Wolverine the story heard it from Maya's father a few weeks before her father died.
-Logan's blood is type O, Rhesus negative, or is the sole individual on Earth with the Blood Type E.
-For April Fools' Day 2016, Library and Archives Canada posted a fake article announcing the acquisition of the declassified journals and military records of Wolverine. The article was accompanied by scans of an attestation paper under his name.

Hey, comic fans it's yo boi The Geekpin and I'm out here doin' it a real big. Today I'm going to be talking about Wolverine for his 50th anniversary.
Wolverine is the best at what he does best and what he does isn't nice. Hell Wolverine hasn't been good in the last 10 years but that's not important. When Claremont originally left X-Men he had a set of don't do rules. Never tell his true origin or his real name. Marvel said fuck Claremont and did everything he told them not to do. Anyway, Wolverine made his comic debut in The Incredible Hulk #180 (with the
announcement of his coming in issue #179).
Editor Roy Thomas conceived the idea of
Wolverine; the name, size, attitude, and
nationality of the character, thinking it was a
good idea due to the abundance of Canadian
comic readers. Logan's main traits, those of
solitude, fierceness, and stumpy physique are
directly inspired by those of wolverines. When
proposing Wolverine's creation to Len Wein,
Thomas gave him the requirements that "1. He was Canadian and announced as such right away, 2. He was short because a wolverine is a small animal, 3. He had a quick temper because wolverines are known for being fierce and taking on beasts far bigger than they are." Even though Marvel officially credits only Roy Thomas, Len Wein, and John Romita as Wolverine's co-creators, Roy Thomas stated he considered Herb Trimpe to be one as well since he penciled the issue Wolverine first appeared in. Trimpe himself didn't consider himself deserving of it. With the introductions out the way let's talk about 50 years worth of the ol' cunklehead.
