Wolverine is the best there is at what he does and what he does sometimes is star in movies. Actor Hugh Jackman played the character for seventeen years, starring in multiple X-Men movies. Fans got to watch his character development from X-Men Origins: Wolverine to Logan, seeing him go from a grizzled loner to a team player and into a man who has watched everything he loved die.

While these movies varied wildly in quality, they did a great job of showing how Wolverine changed over time. Conversely, they also did a great job of keeping many things about him the same, juxtaposing that with his differences to create one of the best superhero movie characters ever.

10 Way Wolverine Changed: He Gained New Love Interests

In X-Men Origins: Wolverine, he was in love with Silver Fox, a Native woman who worked for the Weapon X project and was used to control him. She was able to get past her job, though, and actually return his affections. She ended up being killed at the end of the movie and Wolverine thought he’d never love again.

That didn’t happen as Wolverine would get more love interests over the course of the movies. Much like in the comics, he fell in love with Jean Grey, which made it all the more bittersweet when he had to kill her and then there was Mariko Yashida in Japan. While fans never really find out what happened with that relationship, it was good to know he found love in some way again.

9 Way Wolverine Stayed The Same: He Was A Relentless Combatant

One thing about Logan that definitely stayed the same throughout his career as Wolverine is the fact that he is always all about that fighting. Wolverine saved the X-Men’s bacon on numerous occasions because of his capacity for ultra-violence. Wolverine is the best there is at what he does and what he does is slash his foes to ribbons.

Wolverine doesn’t always like violence but he has no problems doing what needs to be done. He’s always been one to put himself between the innocent and the evil. His capacity for violence has made a big difference for his friends over the years.

8 Way Wolverine Changed: He Lost His Memory

At the beginning of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Logan had all of the memories of his life. He knew that Sabretooth was his brother and that they had fought alongside each other for decades. The movie would end with Stryker using an adamantium bullet to shoot him in the head, causing him to lose his memory of his past completely.

Wolverine would wander North America after this, trying to survive while staying off the radar of anyone who may have been pursuing him. Eventually, he would meet Rogue and then the X-Men. The rest, as they say, is history.

7 Way Wolverine Stayed The Same: His Adamantium Skeleton Was A Constant

Wolverine’s adamantium skeleton is one of his most iconic features. The nearly unbreakable metal, combined with his healing factor, made him one of the toughest fighters on the X-Men and allowed him to take more damage than anyone else. While a lot of things changed about the mutant over the years, his adamantium skeleton stayed the same.

From X-Men Origins: Wolverine to Logan, Wolverine’s adamantium skeleton was a big part of who he was. Without it, he would have still been a big help to the X-Men but not nearly as much. Unbreakable bones are super useful for a superhero.

6 Way Wolverine Changed: His Healing Factor Gave Out On Him

One of the biggest surprises of Logan was the fact that Wolverine’s healing factor had started to give out on him. He had started visibly aging and his wounds actually took a lot of time to heal. The adamantium on his bones, which had been such a big help to him over the years, was poisoning him and, without his healing factor, was killing him.

His weaker healing factor made his life a lot harder, as he stopped being a superhero because of how much easier he was to hurt. It was one of many challenges the movie threw at him and yet another reason it was unlike other X-Men movies.

5 Way Wolverine Stayed The Same: His Personality Really Didn’t Change Very Much

Wolverine changed a lot through the movies but one thing that didn’t really change was who he was as a person. While one can see that he is much more fatalistic in Logan, that was always a part of him that just got intensified as things in the world got worse. His disdain for authority, desire to help others, and sardonic sense of humor are all a constant for him.

While his life changed immensely between X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Logan, Wolverine himself stayed pretty much the same. The core of him was always there and stayed pretty constant.

4 Way Wolverine Changed: He Learned To Care About Others More

The Logan of X-Men Origins: Wolverine cared about a very small circle of people and that was about it. He liked his life with Silver Fox and worked to keep that, not really caring about how his actions affected the world. After joining up with the X-Men, he learned that his actions had consequences and the best way to do things was to help others with what he did.

Wolverine learned to care again throughout the X-Men movies and while Logan opened with him trying to just lookout for a small circle again, as the movie went on, he remembered the lessons he had learned and sacrificed himself for the greater good.

3 Way Wolverine Stayed The Same: He Always Had The Same Recreational Activities

One way that Wolverine stayed the same throughout the movies was his choice of recreational activities. The movies took a cue from the Wolverine comics of the ’80s and ’90s, where he was much more of a hard-drinking, cigar-smoking, motorcycle riding renegade and these three things stayed fairly constant throughout the movies, with him indulging in at least one of these activities per movie.

The smoking and drinking make sense: his healing factor protects him from the adverse effects and a man who has been through what he has would be looking for an escape. His love of motorcycles was a legacy of his time as a loner, as they are an efficient and fun means of transportation for one person.

2 Way Wolverine Changed: He Gained A Family

An enduring part of Wolverine’s character both in the comics and the movies is his search for family. The X-Men are the ultimate representation of this; Wolverine’s journey with the team makes it possible for him to open to them and feel like he’s a part of something again. The events in the interim between the other movies and Logan see him lose all of that but one of the themes of the movie is him finding it again.

In a lot of ways, the movies can be looked at as Wolverine’s quest to find a family, how he loses it, and then finds it again, creating a new unit with Laura and Professor X.

1 Way Wolverine Stayed The Same: He Enjoyed His Time Alone

The events of X-Men Origins: Wolverine drove Wolverine to indulge his loner tendencies and when viewers first saw him at the beginning of X-Men, he had been living alone for a long time. While one of the themes of his arc is finding a family that doesn’t mean that his whole life is about hanging out with them. Wolverine still liked his time alone.

Much like in the comics, Wolverine was known to run off on his own at times. While it was always apparent that he loved the team and the people on it, that didn’t mean that he also still didn’t value time on his own.
