AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The Wolverine Crush, also known as Wolverine Staring At Picture, is a meme template featuring two panels. In the first panel, the Marvel superhero Wolverine is depicted gazing longingly at a picture frame. The second panel is a close-up of the picture frame, which is often edited to include various humorous or contextually relevant images superimposed over the original photograph.
OriginWho did it first?
The meme originated from an episode of the animated television series X-Men, specifically Season 1 Episode 5, which first aired on January 30, 1993. In this episode, Wolverine is seen jealously looking at a picture of the superheroes Cyclops and Jean Grey. This particular moment was later turned into a viral meme. The earliest known instance to gain popularity featured a lewd selfie of actress Scarlett Johansson and was posted by a user on Reddit with the username Jamy18 in the /r/funny subreddit on September 18, 2011. For a visual representation of the original TV show scene, refer to the video available at YouTube.[1]
