I've been thinking recently about Wolverines size hes seems to fall on the short side in most comics but then be like 6 foot in another. So I was wondering do you prefer a short Wolverine or a tall Wolverine, I mean each size has its pros and cons and Wolverines generally depicted as on the short side and made fun of because of it. But then you can look at books like Old Man Logan an hes like 6 foot five. So why do you think hes so short is it the Adamantium on his bones weighing him down or is it to represent the more animalistic side to him? Also which do you prefer a tall or short Wolverine?
Wolverine
Character » Wolverine appears in 16062 issues.
A long-lived mutant with the rage of a beast and the soul of a Samurai, James "Logan" Howlett's once mysterious past is filled with blood, war, and betrayal. Possessing an accelerated healing factor, keenly enhanced senses, and bone claws in each hand (along with his skeleton) that are coated in adamantium; Wolverine is, without question, the ultimate weapon.
Do you Prefer a Tall or Short Wolverine
His height has importance to his actual codename, the Wolverine being a small animal
however due to the popularity of the movies and Hugh Jackman being like 6' 20" Wolverine has been being depicted taller, I mean not as tall as Jackman, but he has been drawn taller than his original 5'3" or at least it looks like he has...
I could care less either way, as long as he is not written ridiculously
@Nerx: @cattlebattle: 5'5" (Incredible Hulk 181)Nope, its different on other bios, I distinctly remember reading he is 5'3", being he is a fictional character I don't believ there is a right answer
@cattlebattle: When you say "nope"... are you disputing that Logan is stated to be 5'5" in Hulk 181? Just checking.Nope, you presented it like you were correcting me, He may be that height in that comic but he has no factual height

That is his original height, and he is not supposed to be a looker there was a time when they called him 'dog face'
I want his cigarettes back as well

Do you prefer a wrong or right Wolverine? Wolverine is short. Anything above 5'7" is stupid.
I dont think I would have Enjoyed Old Man Logan if he was short
When I think Wolverines in the wild, I think of small, hairy vicious creatures that pick fights with those that are out of their league and somehow win with attitude alone...so yeah, he should be short.
Doesn't really matter, I prefer 5'5 cause I'm 5'8, I wanna look down at Wolverine, but still looks menacing.
Short. That's the whole point of him being "Wolverine" he attacks things that are way bigger than him.

I thought he was a cigar man and Gambit smoked cigarettes.
to me it dose not matter but iam only 5"5 maybe 5"6 lol short is cool with me to but in general tall or short wolverine is still a badass.
Taller than his Bio says he is. which is like 5'3" and he's usually not drawn that short either. but he is on occasion.
btw this is like saying "do you prefer Wolverine with claws or spaghetti hands?"
He was created shorter than the average guy, the end.
No brainer, SHORT of course, because the actual animal he is named after, the wolverine, are small and savage creatures, just like the character is a small and savage runt. They got a tall guy to play Wolverine in a movies so I'd guess that's why this question arose, but look at the upcoming Dark Knight Rises, where a guy who is a little under 6 feet is playing Bane who is closer to 7 feet. That's the movie industry for ya. They'll rely on special angle techniques to cover up bad decisions that effect character perception (though because great actors fill the role it is often forgiven). People who only know Wolverine in Film would probably be surprised knowing his original height, and maybe would want a taller re-interpretation, but that's a real superficial outlook, and it would bastardize the character. There are too many tall characters as it is.
he should be about as tall as kevin Hart(comedian) who is short and his height is "5 foot 5 feet? but can still be intimidating like vegeta from dbz.
