The number of Marvel comic heroes is constantly changing and growing. As of now, there are well over 8000 characters, but new ones are always being introduced.
Wolverine made his comic book debut several decades ago. Specifically, he was introduced in the 1970s and has remained a popular character since then. His age as a comic book character is considerable.
Personally, I think 'Wolverine: Days of Future Past' is excellent. It ties into the larger X - Men storyline but focuses on Wolverine's role in trying to change the future. It has time - travel elements which make it really interesting. His character development in this story is well - done, and it has some great fight scenes.
Wolverine's height can be a bit inconsistent across comics. Commonly, he's estimated to be about 5 feet 3 inches tall. This can change based on the creative decisions of the writers and illustrators.
Well, in certain comic book arcs, Wolverine does meet his demise. But comic universes are complex, and there are often resurrections or alternate timelines.
