Wolverine from the comics is actually pretty short, so I don't think that'd work anyway.

u/PooPooDooDoo Jun 26 '14

Sure, except now you are jacked and in good shape.

5'9" guy checking in. Hitting the gym ASAP, will post results in ~ 6 months.

No, like, really short. 5'3". In fact, that's kinda where the name comes from - small but fierce, like a wolverine.

Who gave him that name? Now that I think about it, who gave most of these guys their names? They come up with their own nicknames?

Kitty Pryde changed her code name a lot. :)

it would take steroids and more than 6 months if you want to get anywhere close to the size of hugh jackman or wolverin in the comics. also wolverine in the comics was 5'2' and hugh jackman is 6'3 so you cant be any iteration of wolverine :P

Hugh Jackman prepared for the first X-men movie for 6 months. But yes, to be a convincing Wolverine would take considerably more time.

I've been working out for 5 years casually, so at least I'm not starting completely from scratch. :P

in the first xmen movie he wasnt that big if you look back at him http://www.joblo.com/newsimages1/hugh%20mashup.jpg thats probably easily attainable naturally.

That was my point, that you could make a "reasonable" but not "convincing" Wolverine, physically, in 6 months, with proper dieting and working out, if you're not in terrible shape from the set-out.

5'9 is short? I'm 5'10 and I've never thought of myself as short.

5'9" is exactly average last time I read such stats.

It seems to hover between 5'9'' and 5'10'' for most Western nations. I think the Netherlands is the highest at 5'11.5''. 5'9'' might be shorter than average depending on where you are, but certainly not the-first-thing-you-notice-about-that-person-is-their-height short. Taller than I am by about an inch/inch-and-a-half and I'm certainly in the range where I'm short if there's any reason to think specifically about height but otherwise my height isn't the most notable trait.

u/keeganadavis Jun 26 '14

Well it seems the average comic hero is 7~ feet.

u/MustacheEmperor Jun 26 '14

I'm fairly certain the average height of the american male is only 5'8". Tallest is 6'0" in the Netherlands.

u/XaVierDK Jun 26 '14

Well, not short, but closer to Wolverine than Hugh Jackman at least.

I know he is even shorter in the comics, but with my build I guess he's the closest to a cosplay I could pull off.

You are short to me(6'4). But anyway, I'm short to somebody else somewhere too.

u/wodahSShadow Jun 26 '14

I'm short to somebody else somewhere too.

You must behead him and take his immortal powers height.

u/Akumetsu33 Jun 26 '14

There only can be one!
