  Maybe the other animal named just wolverine was the inspiration too…

    a combo. Pretty sure wolverines don’t break their own bones to grow knuckles

      Well the comic character also doesn’t do that, so that kinda is my point actually. Maybe we can compromise on Wolverfrog.

  Actually, the name wolverine frog is a direct reference to the comic book character.

    the character trait idea could have come from the frog. authors do this all the time

      Do you think it’s been called “wolverine frog” since the moment it existed?

      Well yeah, the frog has been around. The name Wolverine frog is more recent than that though. More frequently it’s called a hairy frog.

        correct. its features of the knuckles were taken for the character. there seems to be some confusion for people to understand a character is newer than the frog and the wolverine name is newer

        not sure what it is you’re disagreeing with here.
