This might just prove to be one of the biggest and most dangerous fights that Echo would have to fight in her life, since Hugh Jackman’s performance for 17 years as the Mutant already shown us that Wolverine is not the kind of hero you mess with, especially when he brandishes his Adamantium Claws and means business.
