Happy Pride Month, Bub! After many X-Men episodes we are finally focusing on the most famous X-Man of all: Wolverine! We romp through many multiverses and meet Howlett, a gay version of Wolverine who is in a relationship with Hercules. We start by covering Wolverine's legendary first appearance in The Incredible Hulk before tackling Howlett's debut across multiple Greg Pak scripted books that see him team up with Cyclops, Dazzler, a teenage Nightcrawler battling many evil Xaviers. Plus we talk if we will see a gay Wolverine in the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine movie and why we have never seen Howlett again.
Ep. 135 What if Wolverine was gay?

The claws are out as we finally cover the legendary Wolverine and specifically, his gay multiversal counterpart. We give a history of Wolverine on the page and behind the scenes and talk his first appearance opposite The Hulk. Then we jump into a nearly 20 issue run from the mind of Greg Pak and others that sees Howlett, the gay Wolverine, reunite with his partner Hercules, partner with the 616 Cyclops and Dazzler and battle countless evil Xaviers across the old west, steampunk gods, dinosaurs and more. Plus we talk why we want Wolverine to be more of a Spike then an Angel, why Howlett has never returned and what we might expect from Hugh Jackman's last (?) appearance.
