Popularity is Wolverine’s greatest super power, at least according to Deadpool. It’s why he can never be killed. Well I think he was killed, but death isn’t permanent in comics.
Fun fact: Wolverine was cut from the X-Men by the executives at Marvel because they thought no would like him. After about a year of mediocre sales, the execs didn’t care what they did with X-Men so the writers only then introduced Wolverine. Then suddenly the X-Men was one of the best selling comics at Marvel.

Well that changes everything! :D
Yes
Practically a prerequisite for the superhero club. That and body-building, I guess.
