While Hugh Jackman retired as Wolverine in the 2017 film Logan, he was confirmed to reprise his iconic role in the first X-Men film in the MCU i.e. Deadpool and Wolverine. The character has been one of the most popular X-Men characters in the comics, made more popular by Jackman’s seventeen-year tenure in the Fox Studios X-Men franchise.
Wolverine is famously known for his loner personality. But the immortal regenerative superhero has fathered a number of kids across the multiverse. He reportedly has ten kids alone in the main continuity in the Marvel universe Earth-616. And those children have many times been with other superheroes, making his spawns much more powerful. Here are three who could be introduced in the MCU after Hugh Jackman’s exit after the third Deadpool film (via The Empire Podcast).
3. James Hudson Jr. a.k.a Ultimate Wolverine
The son of Wolverine and the Witch a.k.a Magda Lensherr, James Hudson Jr. is from Earth-1610, which is the Ultimate Marvel universe. Initially assuming he was adopted by Wolverine, Jimmy Hudson later gets to know that he is his biological son. Hudson has regenerative powers just like his father and also has retractable claws in his skeleton.
While Hudson does not have the adamantium claws like his father, he does have the ability to naturally coat his claws in a metal oxide that has the capacity to cut through steel. He has the ability to protect himself from poison, can crawl on walls, generate webs, and can shape-shift. Like many of Wolverine’s other children, he has issues with his father and he also has the same reckless personality.
2. Reine du Rien a.k.a Queen Of Nothing
While Hugh Jackman‘s Wolverine has a “daughter” in the form of X-23, Reine du Rien is his actual daughter with the sorceress Sylvia D’Arqueness. Part of the Earth-TRN758 universe, du Rien has the healing powers of her father as well as magical abilities like her mother. Reine du Rien is conceived on purpose to provide the Clan D’Arqueness a member with Wolverine’s healing powers. She sets out to destroy the monster The Truth with her exceptional powers while she crosses paths with Logan. The two reconcile and travel to Hell to defeat the monster.
Reine du Rien is known as the Queen of Nothing as the Clan did not bother naming her since she was engineered to destroy the Truth. She is extremely overpowered as she can combine Logan’s regenerative powers with the magic of her D’Arqueness clan. Her retractable claws have a blue glow and she also has the power to create portals.
1. Daken a.k.a Akihiro
Probably the darkest child of Wolverine with supreme daddy issues, Daken is Wolverine’s child in the main Earth-616 timeline. He is the son of Logan and his Japanese wife Itsu, who is killed by Romulus. Daken is raised by Romulus and grows to hate his father, vowing to destroy him physically and mentally. He has similar claws and regenerative powers like Logan but also has the ability to control pheromones, thus making him untraceable.
Daken had once searched the entire world to find other offsprings of Wolverine and banded them together to defeat their father. Unaware that they were his children, Wolverine killed many of his kids in the ensuing battle. Daken is also extremely intelligent and can manipulate the smartest of heroes such as Reed Richards and Norman Osborn.
