[OT] How tall is Wolverine?

[Zander]

Need some help here. According to the Top Trumps Marvel game (set 2), Wolverine is 158 cm tall (about 5'2"). Is that true or is it a typo?

I'm not an X-men expert by any stretch but I imagined that he was quite tall.

If you know the answer, please post below. Please also provide a reference/link.

Thanks.

That sounds about right, he was never a tall chracter

No, that's not a typo. He was always listed as about 5'3".

Obviously, the movie version of the character is a lot taller, but that's because there are very few 5'3" action stars.

As a long time reader of X-Men, believe me, he's always been short. He's drawn short, and the other characters have been known to remark upon his lack of tallness. 5'2" sounds about right to me.

Thanks, Crothian, mouseferatu and Lola. You're stars!

mouseferatu,

I don't have the deck to hand, but I don't think it matters in the game whether he's 5'2" (~158 cm) or 5'3" (~ 160 cm). IIRC there are no other 160 cm characters in the game.

I'm surprised he's so small. Has any other character ever called him "short arse", "midget" or the like?

{Edit: looks like you've answered my second question, Lola. Thanks again. }

5'3"

I believe it's listed in the Marvel Handbook.

One of the side effects of him being taller in the movie (and, Sabretooth's lack of lines). Sabretooth always called him Runt

Only once...

I remember in a Alpha Flight comic, where Wolverine guest starred, where Puck was being sarcastic and called Wolverine a munchkin. If the character does'nt sound familiar, Puck is dwarf with the resilience and speed of his namesake

Yes, he is short 5'2" to 5'4" sources very over the years. Movie Logan was 6'2".
