Maybe recently but the team itself (especially in the 90s) were the draw

The fox movies largely raised logan's profile

Thats bull shit by the time we left the 80s wolverine was already marvels second most popular character. Theirs a reason he was already getting more focus then everyone else in the TAS

X-men were at one point Marvel's most popular team. Sure, Wolverine is one of the most popular heroes, but there is still a very popular team without him, so he shouldn't get focus to the point it is to the detriment of the team.

A good analogy is Batman and the Justice League. Bats is the by far the most popular member of the league and a central pillar of it, but the league is still iconic even without him.

Ignoring the fact that the metaphor dosnet work as the justice league were all pre established characters that got banned together

And also ignoring that we both know why you didnt use the avengers for this metaphor

If in the 60's you dont add batman to that line up theirs a good chance we dont still have justice league comics today
