  frog has been around well before 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?

        So you’re trying to say that the frog may have been named after the comic book character then?

    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.
