For 27 years, he was comics' ultimate man of mystery. The most popular X-Man of them all, Wolverine was known for his healing factor, adamantium claws, and - perhaps most intriguingly - the large question mark that hovered over his unknown early years. But that all changed in 2001, when Marvel finally decided to give us a peek at his secret beginnings, with Origin, a six-issue miniseries from Paul Jenkins, Andy Kubert and Richard Isanove. Now, 15 years later, Trev and Joe take a look back at this classic/controversial story, both discussing the reasons it came to be and reviewing the entire miniseries itself. But first, a look at some X-Men movie news, as the guys analyze the costumes in the latest Apocalypse group photo, ponder yet another Gambit delay, and give their thoughts on the rumored casting for Josh Boone's New Mutants. Plus, some talk of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and the upcoming Mystery Science Theater 3000 cast reunion.
