Wolverine's bad hair day

I could see that art working if Wolverine's been possessed by the Wild Huntsman from Celtic myth -- that hair brought to mind an antler-topped pop-media Druid-style headpiece, but the satchel and the buckskin outfit say "Native American" to me.

Am I in the ballpark on either?

He's obviously been possessed by a bear, and not the grizzly kind

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


Covers like that are why I never bought a Wolverine solo comic in the 90s even though I thought Wolverine was really cool.

I had that issue. If I remember he was dreaming about being a fur trapper or something. He was definitely tripping balls. He was ranting something like "These are my knives. MY CLAWS!"

Nope. This was Sparrow Hawk who only existed for this storyline in MCP so she could get fridged.

You left out the part where they show you that his dream was real, and more importantly, the part where they name him "Skunk Bear".

Incredibles is Elast"a"girl while Doom Patrol is Elast"i"girl which is apparently just different enough for trademarks.

From that same issue, the origin of the Chief being a complete dick.


The robot saved his life and he designed it but instead of just wiping its memory or shutting it down and disassembling it he puts two in the back of the head.

According to Wikipedia, the difference is that the Doom Patrol member has a hyphen in her name.
:what:

e: There was also an Elastigirl in Amalgam, combining Elasti-Girl, Domino, and Wasp. Really strained themselves for that name combo.

the copyright claim was close enough that iirc the Elastigirl toys for the Incredibles were just called "Mrs Incredible"

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.
I actually forgot she was called Elastigirl until I watched Incredibles 2 because yes, they called her Mrs. Incredible everywhere else.

Elastigirl is very much the embodiment of "Don't stare or you'll wind up browsing some weird Internet sites." She is my favorite silver age heroine, though, since she's pretty much the only one with some actual agency in the stories and is great. Then Steve Dayton came along and was a colossal shithead to her. But even after that she still got to be pretty awesome.

Here's the cover of the second Doom Patrol appearance in which she rips a torpedo out of a submarine and shoves it down an octopus's throat (symbolism? what symbolism?):
