Wolverine (Hugh Jackman)

Wolverine is one of the main protagonists of the X-Men film series by 20th Century Fox. He was played by Hugh Jackman in all of his appearances.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) Hugh Jackman nailed the characterization perfectly.
 * 2) He makes great cameos in First Class and Apocalypse, the earlier where he says to Magneto and Charles Xavier "Go f*ck yourself".
 * 3) Logan was a satisfying conclusion to his story arc, with him accepting his daughter Laura.
 * 4) The unrated cut of The Wolverine and Logan show a more dark interpretation of Logan just like in the comics.
 * 5) Logan grows as a character throughout his appearances.
 * 6) Logan does some satisfying berserker rages as seen in X2 and Logan.
 * 7) He isn’t even Flanderized in later films.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) His first solo film was bad despite Jackman doing a great job in the film.
 * 2) He sometimes hogs the spotlight in the non-solo Wolverine films.
 * 3) He doesn’t have a comic book accurate costume. Luckily, it was seen in an alternate ending of The Wolverine.
