10 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Wolverine

3) He Has Ridiculously Enhanced Senses

Wolverine’s natural talents are pretty impressive too, though. Even Spider-Man’s spider-sense or Daredevil’s super-hearing can’t hold a candle to Logan’s incredibly enhanced abilities.

First of all, his sight is so acute that he can see with perfect clarity for long distances, even in almost complete darkness. His hearing is similarly powerful; as well as possessing a greater range than normal human beings, Wolvie can also pick up sounds that regular ears do not. His sense of smell is perhaps the most impressive, though. Naturally, he’s terrific at tracking down the scent of his enemies, even if the smell has faded over time.

He can also recognize shapeshifters thanks to their unique smell. That’s in the comics, at least, as Mystique often fools him in the films. On one occasion in X-Men: The Animated Series, Wolverine claims that he can smell light waves on the infrared spectrum – or rather, he can smell the ozone given off by the electronics generating the light.

By combining his hearing and sense of smell, Logan is also something of a walking lie detector. By monitoring changes in a person’s heartbeat and smelling any perspiration, he can tell when someone’s speaking the truth.
