Superficially Wolverine was always an aesthetic value character, but that's only scratching the surface. Between the amnesia, his love interests, the turning to busido as a quasi-religious curbing of his violent tendancies, the Weapon X (and Alpha Flight) piece of his hidden past, Maverick and Sabertooth, etc etc this is one character with more layers than an onion. Despite the Dirty Harry personality the various writers conveyed many ideas through him.
Quote:There was a mutant called Cannonball (in X-Factor? Whichever team Cable ran); he could fly, and generated a sort of "friction barrier" around himself when in flight, so he could "canoball" right through things.
The groups were New Mutants and later X-Terminators (third X-Terminators) with Cable. He was also physically strong and one plot offered the claim that he was suppsedly immortal.
