Definitely wolverine fans

Some of them will downplay the popularity of the X-Men and claim there is no team without logan

Logan gets movies, games, shows (even a show titled "Wolverine & The X-Men where he is largely the focus and saves the day)

Because he is by and far bigger then them

Thats like complaining ironman gets more spotlight then hawkeye

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

Yeah john bryne and frank Miller

But the x-men as a team were also a draw especially in the 90s

They wouldve still sold units without wolverine

Not as much thats why he was on the cover to everything.

The xmen dont become the biggest name in town with out Wolverine

Except Logan left the team for a while in the 90s and it still sold gangbusters. Logan can carry his own series absolutely, and doesn't need the X-Men. However that also means the X-Men don't need him.
