Notes

Howlett is familiar with his world's version of Scott Summers, who is nineteen. He also knows his world's version of Kitty Pryde, who is also young.[12]

When Cyclops mentions the "X-Men", Howlett replies "X-what?" suggesting that Howlett is not affiliated with the X-Men in his universe, and possibly that there are no X-Men in his universe.[3]

Howlett is described as "Wolverine-meets-Teddy-Roosevelt. But still Canadian."[2]

The metal bonded to Howlett's bones is the same as that of Hercules' Golden Mace. The Adamantine was a gift to Howlett from Hercules.

Upon seeing Creed in Graymalkin, AZ, Howlett commented, "How many worlds I'm gonna have to kill you in?" suggesting that he killed Victor Creed in his own reality and possibly others, or his reality's Creed has also a strong healing factor which allows him to survive again and again from mortal wounds.[13]

Howlett is surprised and shocked to see an alter-world version of his father. He notes that his version of John Howlett died young.[13]

Howlett is taller than his Earth-616 Counterpart and he also has a mutton chops beard/mustache combination.
