He is a great hero and anti-hero (depending on the circumstance). He has a compelling backstory (even as ret-conned as it has become) and an awesome suite of powers which still have their limits and vulnerabilities. There is something of a romanticism about lone-wolves in North American culture as well which I believe grants him a great deal of popularity. But even in the comics he has been far too ubiquitous. Just check out his Marvel page or his Wikipedia entry. He's been on practically every Marvel team in existence at one point or another. I get that he is a popular character and Marvel/Disney want to milk it to its fullest extent. But there are fans out there with other favorite characters. Cyclops has always been my personal favorite (not the movie version, but the comic versions). And X-Men has always been about teamwork and overcoming adversity. Turning the X-Men brand into a Wolverine fetish diminishes the message and the true appeal of the franchise.</p></blockquote><p></p>
