Wolverine #1 fictional power player!

*Raph's Girl* · 06-03-2006, 10:27 PM

Wolverine, the blade-bearing "X-Men" superhero played by Hugh Jackman, ranks as the top fictional power player, according to Entertainment Weekly.

The magazine lists the top 10 franchise characters in its new issue, on newsstands Monday. Wolverine beat out Harry Potter, Spider-Man and Bart Simpson, among others.

"Wolverine is our pick for Hollywood's top character based on a devoted, built-in audience and early excitement over his planned solo flick, which could be out as soon as 2008," writes Tim Stack.

The mutant with mutton chops stars in "X-Men: The Last Stand," which opened last week with a four-day domestic gross of $122.9 million. Wolverine is expected to get his own spin-off film, but no details have been announced.

Following Wolverine, in order, are Harry Potter, Spider-Man, Shrek, Robert Langdon (the main character of "The Da Vinci Code"), Jason Bourne ("The Bourne Identity" and "The Bourne Supremacy"), James Bond, Jigsaw (the villain of the "Saw" horror films), Bart Simpson and Madea (Tyler Perry's trash-talking grandmother).

Wow

Bart Simpson got owned by Wolverine?!

There's something you don't see every day *blinks*

*Spitfire* · 06-04-2006, 03:01 AM

Well since Bart hasn't hit Hollywood yet I'm not surprised.

*Brodie* · 06-04-2006, 02:56 PM

Well,not to mention Wolverine was badass long before Bart was even invented.

*cowabunga14* · 06-04-2006, 05:48 PM

Yeah, that's true. I bought a Wolverine t-shirt yesterday to support the cause. I'd say its one of the nicest shirts I bought in a long time.

I'm so sick of people that say wolverine is overrated. Sure he's in more comics than he should be, but he's so awesome. I remember he was my first marvel action figure, the tiger strike x-men tas figure. My friend gave it to me as a present for no reason, he said he already had one and his mom wanted me to have it. After that I was hooked on X-Men and Marvel... for life.

But seriously, no Batman, or Superman?

I think if turtles does well in theaters we might see them on this list. Actually they should already be on it, but whatever.

Entertainment Weekly? Wow, good press. *ahem*

Of course Wolverine would be #1 here: He's played by Hugh Jackman, and his character is the most-liked in 3 Hollywood blockbuster films. Big surprise.

**Jester** · 06-04-2006, 11:29 PM

I think Wolverine is over-rated.
*looks with fear at Ecto*

I mean, yeah he's cool but he's in what 5 diffrent comic books now...3 X-books, New Avengers, and his own solo comic. When is enough?
