One of the best worst things about Wolverine being one of (if not) Marvel Comics’ most popular anti-heroes was that he spawned legions of copycats in indie comics. At best, Wolverine’s basic archetype as a rough, nigh-immortal brawler with a heart of gold influenced other edgy heroes like Bloodsport or Finder’s Jaeger Ayers. At worst, cliches of the highest order.But more often than not, indie comic creators copied Wolverine in the most basic and surface-level ways imaginable. This resulted in hilariously over-the-top bootlegs who all tried and failed to prove that they were somehow more extreme than Logan himself. Some Wolverine clones were obvious parodies, but most were clear rip-offs.Wolveroach was literally Wolverine, but in Cerebus’ world. Wolveroach dialed up Wolverine’s tough behavior to parodic extremes, and only spoke in one-liners and sound effects (specifically, “Snikt!”). As silly as Wolverorach was, Roach himself was portrayed sympathetically. His superhero personalities were just different sides of him.
