He wants to tear the Omniverse to shreds because thatвЂ™s the way to win his ladyвЂ™s heartвЂ¦ There is a part of him that always wants to be the passionate, but honourable, mate of Mariko Yashida, but the other half of him is even more passionately bound to Phoenix, or more importantly Dark Phoenix. вЂ¦and thatвЂ™s the battle that is always going on with him.

It is simple, it is unique, it is clean, it is essentialвЂ¦ in him itвЂ™s epitomised by the essence of Japanese/ samurai culture, is almost a perfect symmetry of form and substance. if you look at any room he lives in, half of it is a total shithole and the other half derived from his perception of fulfilling his motherвЂ™s aspect of his persona, i.e. He has adamantium-laced bones, he has the adamantium claws, so as far as SabretoothвЂ™s concerned, Logan is broken goods.ДЇrom LoganвЂ™s perspective, he is torn between the half of his persona that is derived solely from his father, which is heвЂ™s a kick-arse hellraiser, i.e. a sense of morality, but also because heвЂ™s a cyborg thanks to the Weapon X foolishness. And until you can do that, IвЂ™m not going to give you any respectвЂ¦especially if you refuse to do that.вЂќДЄnd itвЂ™s even from SabretoothвЂ™s perception Logan is even more of a blot on the family escutcheon because, not simply because of his height and his flawed attitude, i.e. вЂњIf youвЂ™re my son, then the only way you get to be вЂtop dogвЂ™ in the вЂpackвЂ™ is by getting rid of вЂthe top dog in the pack,вЂ™ which is me. So when one says Sabretooth kills him, he gets better and Sabretooth knows this. Logan has a healing factor that is as ruthlessly efficient as SabretoothвЂ™s own. вЂ¦but also why, in ChrisвЂ™s presentation of the character, every year on his birthday Sabretooth shows up and basically kills himвЂ¦ since from SabretoothвЂ™s perception, this is a rite of passage. Sabretooth, and half is defined from his mother who in his conception was the fallen angel, Seraph, who ran the Princess Bar in Madripoor.ДЇrom that you have the reason why he is significantly height-challenged compared to SabretoothвЂ¦ To Chris, he is a man in conflict with himself by virtue of the fact that half of his persona, and his physical abilities, are derived from his father, i.e. He is significantly older than all of the other X-Men, he has a life experience that is unlike any of theirs, and in terms of his inherent character, he is fundamentally, and continually, in conflict with himself.Д¬hris ClaremontвЂ™s evolution of who and what Wolverine is, and where he came from, is substantially different from what evolved into traditional Marvel origin tropes. He is not a natural-born man of honour, he is not a non-violent person. In ChrisвЂ™s conception, Wolverine is, in many respects, the anodyne of what Charles Xavier preaches to the student X-Men. So for the remainder of this blog post I will attempt to highlight how ChrisвЂ™s explanation for who he intended LoganвЂ™s parents to be, more specifically his biological mother, was RIGHT THERE during his original runвЂ¦ and yet no X-fan saw it, but how in the hell did they MISS it? That is, as long-time readers of this blog will know, I am a Claremont-purist. I wouldnвЂ™t want to in this particular instance. The following essay represents his thoughts on yet another of his dropped stitches, the true parentage of Logan, the mutant known as Wolverine. This time around the proverbВ вЂњgood things come to those who waitвЂќ has finally come true for this blog, with Nate recently having the ridiculous good fortune to speak exclusively with the Godfather of The X-Men, Chris Claremont, over many elements of his original, seventeen year run. Followers of this blog may recall its first big success back in January 2013В when it recruited as a guest contributor comicsвЂ™ royalty, Paty Cockrum, member of MarvelвЂ™s bullpen and wife of the late legendary creator of the All-New, All-Different X-Men Dave Cockrum.
