What are the most important elements of wolverine's character?

1. He's noble and honourable but also a brutal fucking animal

2. He is selfish and doesn't want to help other people but he consistently does risk his life for other people all the time, even strangers.

3. He has lived through the entire 20th century. He doesn't spend much time remembering or thinking about it (sometimes due to memory issues) but he does run into people and things from his distant past.

4. He has a close nonsexual relationship with a young girl (Rogue, Jubilee, Kitty, Laura)

5. His claws cut him, painfully, every time they come out
