-simple
-"unknown past" at the height of popularity, so fans could project their own thoughts on the character
-cultural oversaturation. when companies think something is profitable they spam the shit out of it mindlessly. so now people know who wolverine is for no other reason that cultural familiarity, which leads to more relatability for some people who like the character. wolverine has his own oversaturation trope

>there are fans of him that don't give a shit about x-men
correct, and there are fans of the x-men such as myself who gives zero fucks about wolverine and all wolverine-related characters. "old man logan" was stupid. there is potential for x-23 but marvel and disney don't have the balls to lean in to her character origins of being a prostitute who could team up with the punisher to stop human trafficking and protect sex unions
