Abstract

To his fans, Wolverine could be known by several different names, but depending on the decade they read him in, they might call him something different. Like his titles, his role throughout Marvel history and American history changes constantly. What they haven’t acknowledged is that each decade, Wolverine has managed to transform into something that his current readers need. Relating to the decade of which he resides, writers have used Wolverine to express issues that each decade experiences.
