Now I know Wolverine’s status as a “loner” has been a joke for decades at this point, but come on. It’s one thing for the gruff, anti-heroic, antisocial berserker to join a team like the X-Men in the first place. It’s another thing for him to join five other teams at the same time. It’s yet another level of stupidity for him to lead the X-Men, when his primary character trait is “being a loner.” But running a goddamn school? COME THE FUCK ON. (Via CBR)
