“I’m the best at what I do and what I do ain’t very nice” says Wolverine at almost every opportunity. While unclear on what he actually does, this mission statement is abundantly clear that Wolverine is the best at it, whatever it might be. Since being a superhero should probably be considered “very nice” — I mean, it involves beating bad guys but also rescuing people, thwarting evil, et cetera — we can technically rule that out.

Many Marvel heroes aren’t just defined by their superhero status or their powers; they’ve also got other interests and aspects of their personality that define them far more than their costumes.

Peep it here in HD

I gotta admit, the stuff with Sabretooth and Logan looks pretty bangin. I really don’t get why they crammed so many characters, but I’m assuming it jumps around a lot in the timeline. At least they kind of got it half right with weapon x, including mastadon, maverick and deadpool (closet fan). I know, I should be ahamed of my Deadpool fandon, I absolutley detest anything associated with Rob Liefeld, but I guess that is for another day, another post.
