“Why does everyone like Wolverine?” my 11 year old self would ask the circle of comic geeks. I grew up around video game developers and comic book artists. This was at the birth of the PC Gamer era when games like King Quest and Monkey Island were being released. I lived in Oakhurst California, and helped out (got in the way) with game testing for Sierra On Line while my dad worked on music and production. This was also the time in my life when I started getting into comics. All the comic geeks would gather and talk about what was happening in various X-Books or argue over Vertigo storylines. I was pretty new to the whole scene and mainly followed cap’ed heroes like Superman and Prime. The Anti-hero movement was completely foreign to me, so when I piped up and squeaked “Why does everyone like Wolverine?” in this hallowed ground of nerdom, the response I got was a bit overwhelming. At least four discussions started about how tough Wolverine was, how he was un-killable, how he never held back, ect ect. This quickly dissolved into augments over if Wolvie could beat (insert character here). One of the chief nerds handed me an “all things Wolverine” trade paperback for me to read. I absorbed it. I read his back story, strengths and inner struggle. I learned about his unbreakable adamantium skeleton and his berserker rage. I was hooked. For most of my teen age years, I followed Wolverine on almost every book he appeared. Knowing this about myself, I am not surprised Wolverine was the first thing that came to mind when I heard about c3yoyodesigns new yo-yo would be called the Berserker.
