Wolverine #304 - who's the fat guy?
Posted: Thu Jan 10, 2013 3:09 am
Wolverine #304 is Jason Aaron's final issue -- where Wolverine crashes Sabretooth's party and beats up all the villainous guests. It contains a LOT of callbacks to previous Aaron-written stories.
In this issue, a fat bald man with food dripped down his shirt front introduces the Jade Claw to the new pre-teen White Queen. ("Pet my penguin!")
Who is this guy? The only fat bald man from Jason Aaron's Wolverine run that I can think of is the Kingpin -- and Sabretooth specifically namechecked the Kingpin a few pages back, saying that he declined to attend the party.
I haven't read Aaron's "Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine" or "Wolverine & the X-Men". Could this guy come from one of those books?
Or is he a Wolverine foe from a non-Aaron story? Other old Wolvie foes show up here, like Daken, Wild Child, Roughouse and Bloodscream...
Also, uncannyxmen.net claims that Nitro and Madcap appear at the party. I don't see either one -- I suspect they're confusing Nitro with Wild Child, who also has long light hair. (Even though Wild Child's supposed to be dead ... ugh.) But I don't know why Madcap would even BE there.
Anyone have any insight on either Nitro or Madcap's so-called appearance here?
-Jeph!
