10 reasons why X-Men’s Wolverine is better than Batman
By Mark Lynch
8. Better mentor
Batman has helped make Dick Grayson one of the greatest heroes in the world. The same could be said for Tim Drake. But, if we’re being honest, that’s it. Jason Todd, Barbara Gordon, and other Bat-Family members truly hit their stride without him. In fact, most of their maturity came from Alfred Pennyworth. Batman would admit that as well.
Logan, on the other hand, has a major hand in multiple X-Men hitting their stride. Kitty Pryde wouldn’t be the warrior she is without him, and she would probably be possessed by Ogun. Jubilee was essentially his sidekick, and she became the courageous woman she is because of him. Then there’s Black Widow. Logan was one of the first people to train her. His influence made her the stealthy and dangerous spy she is. And, when Storm lost her powers, she went to Logan to help make her a better fighter. That’s the kind of mentor Logan is.
7. Place of privilege
Bruce Wayne was born wealthy and privileged. After his parents died, he still had all of his money. This meant that he could afford the things in life that made him an amazing hero. Among those things was learning with one of the best magicians in the universe.
Logan (born James Howlett) came from money, but he never got a chance to take advantage of it. Easily put, Logan has done more with less money.
