WolverinE

Wolverine.. my Role Model... you can ask why do u want a comic character as a role model, why not a real person.. why, why because i never thought looking up to someone was in my character. May be it's hypocrisy may be it's ahankaram(vainglorism)

But i like it that way, and I believe no one who lived in this world is worthy enough to be looked upon. May be every Indian thinks of Mahatma Gandhi when the word 'Role model' pops up.. he was a great man... greater than i could ever become, but it doesn't mean i look up to him and i want to be like him or any thing. I respect Gandhi, for what he was, for what he did, for what he accomplished through non violence. It is something that will never be repeated again in the history of mankind ever again. But still I cant think of him as a role model.

It is the imaginary aspect of wolverine that draws me to him. He is a powerful mutant (Person with mutated genes, so that they have super human abilities ) but that doesn't make him invincible. Well WolverinE is Close to being Invincible, but that is not what attracts me. The character is something i can identify with. may be the anti hero concept appeals to most of the ppl, and may be that's what appeals to me too. The pain and anger that he feels is almost tangible, coz i feel it too at times. I wish at times, that i too could poop out Claws and cut something up to vent the anger. That i too could settle matters with my might than tact and courtesies that are required in real world. we all should have some secret imaginary place in our minds that we can escape to, when the problems in the real world appear seem too much to bear. And in my imaginary world i am WolverinE settling all problems with my claws.

it's easier to fight physical problems that are palpable rather than problems that exist in out mind.We cant fix a Project deadline or lack of funds at month end by swinging our fists at them. But in the Imaginary world, every problem is to be fixed by swinging our fists at it. Actually all teh monsters these superheroes defeat are in some way or other a representation of our real life problem, and that is what attracts me to wolverine.
