Wolverine and the X-Men

Insomniac explains why it didn't want the X-Men in Marvel's Wolverine.

The show pays tribute to Aliens and a 1988 comic as Wolverine teams up with other Weapon X test subjects

If Insomniac has proved anything over the last eight years, it’s that they know how to make a hell of a superhero game. Marvel's Spider-Man remains one of the PlayStation 4’s defining action games and a shining example of open-world design, as are both of its follow-ups. Now they’re looking to replicate that magic with Marvel's Wolverine, albeit this time as a traditional linear AAA action game. I got to play about two and half hours at a recent preview event, and while my impressions are mostly glowingly positive, I did come away with a few questions and concerns.

Wolverine's metal claws are absent in the new season of X-Men '97 because Magneto removed them. This comes from a popular comics storyline.
