Popular Post tv horror Posted October 27, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2018 I was just watching Enter the dragon starring Bruce Lee and it struck me that he could have been actually fighting with a Wolverine type villian? The movie appeared a year before Hulk 181 so could Han have "snikted" first? 1950's war comics, woowoo, KobaltDog and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either strapped to the back of the fingers/wrist/forearm, worn on a glove or gauntlet, or like brass knuckles/knuckle dusters. Ninjas, gladiators, etc., etc, it wasn't that uncommon a weapon. It's Wolverine's almost indestructible skeleton and healing powers that you'd have to include, along with the claws, in tracing his true historical origins/inspirations, if there is a precedent.

You're quite right how about this one Captain Sinbad (1963) starring Guy Williams, the villain is indestructable because his heart is locked in a tower and of course it is guarded by a giant claw fist. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGsimba77 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 (edited) This would be something only Roy Thomas (editor in chief of Marvel at the time) would know. He's the one who decided he wanted a wolverine or badger type character. Edited October 29, 2018 by MGsimba77 tv horror 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You possibly know that there was a Copper Age character called The Badger? He had his own book. There was also a 90s character called The Ferret, now faded into obscurity. In this case I believe location was the problem, as, if he had been marketed to northern England, he would’ve been hugely popular.
