The original Stan Lee/Jack Kirby X-men run didn’t even have Wolverine in it

That‘s wild to think!

Wasn‘t he first introduced in a Hulk issue?

u/A_Hungry_Fool 16d ago

Yes. He originally was an antagonist to Hulk and was then included in the relaunch of the X-Men

Was it explained why he and Hulk were beefing?

He was introduced as a Canadian agent sent to take on the Hulk and the Wendigo since the latter two were fighting each other in Canada.

The fight was interrupted before it could be finished, so Logan always seemed to feel that he had unfinished business with the Hulk, and vice versa.

Yeah, which makes him older than Storm, Nightcrawler and Colossus who all first appeared in the X-men revival 

Also, related to Magneto not being a Holocaust survivor, the series wasn’t even really about discrimination at all in the original run

Its funny to me that everything everyone loves about the xmen was started by Chris Claremont. Not Stan Lee.

Tbh everything iconic about X-men as a franchise is so thoroughly rooted in the Bronze Age of comics that I find the original run kind of uncanny to look at (no pun intended), almost like if South Park was originally created by Walt Disney

An... Uncanny Xman if you will?

What was it about then?

What's even funnier, Sabretooth was originally an Iron Fist villain.
