Wolverine (Logan) is the most “DC” character in Marvel

I don’t know what DC character would be like him, but will say that it’s super interesting how some characters just get all the stories and writers. Logan, Conan The Barbarian, Luke Skywalker, etc. There are a select few that become these all-time great characters. Green Arrow might be most like Logan in DC. I’d have to see an extensive list.

Off topic, but Bruce Wayne and James Bond all my life kind of came off like the same guy. They both had high-tech weapons and gadgets and cool cars. That cheesy era they even had the same stunts with hanging from helicopters and things like that.

DC characters were more like gods. Marvel characters were kind of vulnerable. The Punisher is another Marvel character like Logan. Stan Lee’s thing  was great because it was always some wimp who came into power on a fluke. Peter Parker, Bruce Banner, and Steve Rogers were all kind of dorks before something happened to them. The cool thing about it is that they were good men before and after. I think most people, if handed great power, would turn into bullies and tyrants out for payback.

Wolverine would fit in perfectly with characters like Lobo, Guy Gardner.

An anti-hero who does not mind getting dirty and vulgar when needed.

I don’t think so. Their Wolverine parody, Lobo, had to be an over-powered character to fit in with the other common godlike characters. I’d say Thor, Hyperion, Thundra, the Inhumans… have a DC vibe but not Wolverine or the X-Men in general. I think the X-Men are very particularly “Marvely” and the closest DC has ever come to them are the Teen Titans or some of the Wildstorm stuff (which are themselves X-Men clones but never got near the vibe like WildC.A.T.S. or Gen 13).

Great timing. I just re-watched The Wolverine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wolverine_(film) . It’s from 2013 and they did a good job on it. He’s in Japan against the Black Clan ninjas and The Silver Samurai. Wolverine and the X-Men has some bad films but that money was used to get Marvel into cinema. What a leading man Hugh Jackman really was. Carried that company into the future. I agree with a lot of critics of the X-Men films, but The Wolverine was a really well done film.
