Wolverine: Origin Addendum

Just a quick afterthought to my Wolverine: Origin review. Wolverine was what? 12? 14 when his parents died? And Wolverine Origin probably takes us up to when he's about 18 or so. So, for a good 4-6 years, he's just moping around British Columbia, hauling rocks, running around with wolves, and getting his ass handed to him by a fat tub of idiocy named Cookie who would probably serve pretty well as the Kingpin's stunt double.

Bruce Wayne, on the other hand, witnessed his parents death when he was 8, maybe 10. I'm sure he did some crying in there, but the next thing we know, he's in Asia learning eighteen different types of martial arts and figuring out how to take down the Gotham City Mafia. Granted, Bruce Wayne had a lot more money than Wolverine, but if Wolverine had really wanted to man up and get some revenge, he could've done it.

For a character who's supposedly comics' ultimate badass, there was very little evidence of it in this story.
