[quote="cruz737"][quote="PumpJack McGee"][quote="cruz737"][quote="PumpJack McGee"][quote="cruz737"]Wolverine isn't my favorite X-men though, and I kinda wish all the X-men related films weren't so focused on him.
Neat claws though.[/quote]
Every band has a frontman.[/quote]
Yeah, and the two best candidates were killed in the 3rd film, one of them 10 minutes in.[/quote]
Pretty sure Wolvie's been the frontman ever since the 80's.
Probably the single most recognizable X-Man of them all.[/quote]
The Frontman role has been shared by Cyclops, Xavier, Storm, Puff the magic dragon, etc. etc.
And yeah, he is recognizable with people who's only exposure is the movies.
If anything, he was always the lone ranger.
Anti-hero(not so much after he became the principle of his school).

I think we do not share the same definition of frontman.
I do not mean it as the leader- although they often are synonymous.
I meant it as being the most recognizable figure within a group.
A good example would be series that either have several or no defined main character.
Most everybody would know who Gandalf is, but Frodo and perhaps Aragorn are really the main characters.
More people would recognize Asuka, Rei, or even Gendou- as opposed to main protagonist and superwimp Shinji.
Most people- even those who haven't followed the series or are even remotely comic book fans- would be able to identify Wolverine, even whilst being completely ignorant of the other X-Men.
