#298 - Wolverine (Suit)\/Mariko Yashida<\/h3>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

Wolverine is the best there is at what he does, and what he does isn't very nice. Gifted with an accelerated healing factor, superhuman senses and a long lifespan, he has been alive for over 150 years.<\/i><\/p>\n

Wolverine #48<\/a> joins Yukio<\/a> and Viper<\/a> in the funeral scene, because nothing says \"fun toy\" like the death of a decrepit old man. In Logan's defense, this could also be called \"Train Fight Wolverine,\" so that's pretty cool. He has clawed and unclawed hands, of course, plus a jacket<\/a> and necktie<\/a> in black. In fact, his only paint is the zipper on his pants.<\/p>\n

Mariko is the daughter of Tokyo crime boss Shingen Yashida<\/a>, as well as the granddaughter of the elder Yashida, whose life Wolverine saved in World War II<\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n

Yukio looks like a photo negative of O-Ren Ishii<\/a> - she has the same dress and same sleeves, just in black instead of white. She even parts her hair on the opposite side! Speaking of the hair, it's designed weirdly: it looks like the way Tao Okamoto wears her hair in the movie, but her left ear is lower on her head than her right ear. Like, substantially lower<\/a>. Low enough that it's worth mentioning when we review her. Sadly, she does not come with the knife seen in the posters. Still better than the last Mariko<\/a>, though.<\/p>\n
