The "Adamantium surpressed his mutation" reason never made sense to me, he was born in the early 1880's and (sliding time scale not withstanding) seems to have gone through the Adamantium bonding process in the 1960's, meaning he was about 80 when it happened. He got his powers when he was 13, so looked mostly the same/human for 65ish years, before the Adamantium, with out mutating into the feral body.
Fatal attractions storyline was published in 93 and supposed to have taken place about that time (again sliding timeline) so he had the Adamantium bonded skeleton for around 30 years.
I always found it more reasonable an explanation that the physical trauma of having the Adamantium removed how it was, ripped off/out of his bones and through his muscle and skin caused his healing factor to break for a time, at first not working (in the comics it was not working for a time after the "removal" and then came back. He mentions to Jubilee in the comic where the bone claws are first shown that he pops them in and out a few times a day to keep the channel open "like pierced ears" as the skin isn't quickly healing over the holes after retracting his claws as it previously had been, and earlier in the same comic the "prove I should still be on the team" danger room test scene where he first pops his bone claws in front of the rest of the X-men was at least several days after the adamantium was removed, because he had been healing much slower thay usual) When it came back I always figured (head cannon) the healing Factor overcompensated, over developed his bones and musculature leading to the feral look, as it had grown accustomed over 30 years to constantly counteracting adamantium poisoning, and had to heal any lingering injury to his entire skeleton and flesh after adamantium was ripped out of and through it and then almost being forced back in, again through his flesh and into/on his bones.
The feral mentality part of it was a response to not just physical but also mental trauma (as in the past he would litterally run off, mentally regress, and live with wolf packs, especially after trauma, like Rose's death in the Origin series) of emtiinaly survivng the removal and failed forced rebonding and brai. Implants, possibly combined with/reinforced by a kind of body dysmorphia as he was freaked out by his physical change.
I mean he looked pretty regular  human while fighting Sabertooth right before he got the adamantium back, which if the adamantium surpresses mutation theory is right should have been peak feral time. Also if he had been Feral mode when Apocalypse re-bonded the skeleton it would have been to the larger feral frame, kinda locking at least the skeleton into the feral form. So, clearly the feral form and worn off by then.

I like how a new team came in and wolverine went back to normal with no questions

I loved drawing Feral Wolverine when I was a kid he's still one of my favorite things to sketch

The adamantium being removed and causing him to go feral can make sense if you consider his mutation had no reason to evolve or change his body until his adamantium was removed from his body and mentally he felt weaker for it.

ah yes labor is equivalent to getting liquid metal forced into your veins d1 commentary right here

The real reason for Wolverine's bestial feral state was suggestively written in Wolverine Vol.2 #100. When Tyler was forcing the adamantium back onto Wolverine. The process was a near success as Wolverine felt helpless to the "re"-bonding process and was giving into it. It wasn't until he saw Cannonball nearly die trying to save him that he began to reject the bonding process through the "active" use of his mutant healing factor. You see, for his whole existence, he never had to "focus" on using his mutant abilities like other mutants did. It was just like a "debuff" power. So his actual power levels were never really put to the active cognitive test, until now (issue #100). Focusing on his mutant powers so much for the1st time, Wolverine managed to force the adamantium out of his body at an accelerated rate. Well, this over concentrated use of his powers also accelerated his Feral powers as well, causing a physical dysmorphia to match his feral state. (Think of it like when Boom Boom or Jubilee 1st learned to use their powers, their explosions were smaller, but with practice and focus, they've managed to increase the level of their powers). In the events right after, Electra helped Wolverine to regain his humanity. In the pursuit of helping Wolverine regain his humanity, it inadvertently slowly regressed him back to human form. You see, the very same cognitive thinking that it took for Wolverine to accelerate his powers was the same cognitive thinking that it took for him to regain his humanity, and in return it slowly reversed his physical dysmorhia. That's why with each issue after #100, he's shown to be closer and closer back to human form with each passing issue. The further down his journey of his humanity, the more and more henlooked human again. It was a great story arc.

In other words, he basically became Sabretooth in a way

Bro his healing factor is BETTER without the metal poison in him.

As long as he still saved kids, he's always a hero ✊🏾💎👑🥇🫡

i was there when this happened. what an amazing story.

I was disappointed X-Men 97 wrapped up wolverine not having adimantium so quickly. I didn't expect a full feral wolverine but hoped they would touch on what it did to his mind, maybe a cool design.  Oh well.

You forgot to mention that Logan never really went back to "normal". Once Stick and Elektra helped peel back some of his ongoing mutation, they discovered that he retained all of his power increases that he got during the time he further mutated. He also retained his now more pronounced canines, claws on his fingers,those long tufts of hair on his forearms,his more feral sounding voice, and this is when he truly became one with the beast inside. He started to accept himself for he he is. Mind you all this is before "Origin" so he never realized how in touch with himself he had always had been thanks to those pesky memory implants. He was already "himself" by the time Apocalypse abducted him except he was stronger. As a result of the process of becoming "Death", all of Logans were even further enhanced. Once Logan broke free of Apocalypse's influence, Logan retained all of the upgrades given to his power set by Apocalypse.  This is all canon 616.

0:20 yes, they are covering this for the 13th time!

Man, I really hope they adapt this part of Wolverine’s History in either the MCU or the upcoming Wolverine PS5 game. 🙏🏾😫🔥🔥🔥

Up until that point he believed the claws were implants and not part of his natural body

They should have let Wolverine don't have the Adamantium back as well as turn him into a beast threw his run in the comics ( Without the Adamantium he don't have Adamantium poisoning as well as healing factor don't need to work overtime )

I hate the adamantium poisoning so much.

Thumbnail picture shows him with four claws on each arm

Adamantium is rarer than platinum, yet somehow there is an abundance of it.  The original Adamantium infusion process took a lot longer than it took in this episode.  Also, what in the hell happened to the Adamantium that Magneto pulled out of Wolverine?  That's probably worth $10 million.
