My geek factor just doubled for knowing this, and tripled for feeling the need to point it out, however:

There is also the character “Wolverine”, who has a hardened skeleton and steel blades that shoot out from between his knuckles, as the result of a hideous military experiment in creating the ultimate soldier …; he apparently is an honorary mutant or something.

Actually, Wolverine is a mutant, a point that was fleshed out in the second X-Men movie. His mutant power is rapid regeneration, which is what allowed him to survive the “hideous military experiment” to graft super-steel beneath his skin.
