Maybe he really IS a mutant...

Above is my main man, Hugh/Logan/Wolverine, circa 2000

And here he is now, in Wolverine, circa 2009.

Not that I'm saying he looked bad in the original movies.

But how in heaven's name did he get even HOTTER in 10 years?

I mean, I've aged many a year in my day, and I'm here to tell you that I don't know that I've had even one measly year that's been half as good to me as the last 9 have been to my boy Hugh. When I was talking to my brother Kirk tonight about that very thing (he and Mar went and saw Wolverine this afternoon, so we had to have a chat on my way home from work), I asked him how that was even possible. Kirk's response? "Well, Laur... *Maybe Wolverine really is a mutant who never ages. Did you never think of that? I'm pretty sure that's what it is. Yeah... Or, maybe he's found the fountain of youth and in 10 years, he'll look even better than he does now."

Hot diggity dog... Wolverine even hotter?! ... I can only hope they'll still be making X-Men movies in the year 2019 so we can find out.

*Do you love how my family talks about superheroes and/or x-men like they're real people? Yeah, we do groove on dudes (and chicks) with super powers. It's an illness, really. I blame my father and a pretty constant barrage of the original Superman trilogy throughout our childhood(s) for much, if not all, of our superhero adoration/obsession/brain damage.
