To me it all depends on how Marvel ultimately defines "Lupus Sapians." If they stick with Loeb's take on it (humanoids descended from canine ancestors) then it's ridiculous. I'm not buying the idea that descendants of simians and canines could ever interbreed, let alone produce fertile offspring. They have a different number of chromosomes so it wouldn't work. It's too much like the early concept that Wolverine was really a real wolverine given human characteristics by the High Evolutionary (an idea I never liked). That would mean Logan isn't really human at all, which would make a lie of his struggle to be a man, not an animal.
On the other hand I could accept the idea that Logan, Creed, Gibney, Romulus, Daken and all the rest (but not Sasquatch - he's not even a mutant) could all be descended from one of the first "sub-species" to carry the X-gene. That way at least Wolverine is human.

I'm thinking along the lines of you as well, but I also like the idea of Logan being more than an ordinary mutant and more than just human, but yes I agree he must remain on the human side. However if they find a way to fit this wolf idea in, it would have to be done cleverly and it would have to be almost mastic like a werwolf type thing, but I don't dig the idea of Logan being werwolf at all! so it would be HARD. I think their best bet is to keep Logan human as you have explained and just enhance the Romulus myth cap on raised by wolves idea and how that has been engraved into the mind bla bla THEN we can believe a wolf connection and keep Logan human I dig some of the ideas but they have to work and not be stupid.

However, I wouldn't even want the feral mutants to be descended from a "sub-species". They could all share the ancestry of the first feral mutant, but just not a sub-species. |
