About

Wolverine Crush, also known as Wolverine Staring At Picture, is a two-panel exploitable comic series featuring the Marvel superhero Wolverine gazing longingly at a picture frame, which often contains various humorous images superimposed over the original photograph.

Origin

In Season 1 Episode 5 of the animated television series X-Men, originally aired on January 30th, 1993, the character Wolverine is shown[9] jealously looking at a picture of the superheroes Cyclops and Jean Grey (shown below).



The earliest known instance of the exploitable comic featured a lewd selfie of actress Scarlett Johansson and was submitted by Redditor Jamy18 to the /r/funny[5] subreddit on September 18th, 2011 (shown below, right).
