Real Life Wolverine Claws Dude Walks The Mutant's Lonely Path
Wolverine, like all the X-Men mutants, feels at odds with the world. He did not choose to have his powers, they chose him, and yet he is hated. No matter his deep well of humanity, or his simple desire to live a normal life, untrammeled, at peace, he is constantly beset by a society that fears and refuses to accept him.
Similarly, the dude who invented real life Wolverine spring action hands and then used them to videotape himself clumsily ripping to shreds a cardboard box in what appears to be his grandmother's living room, although his weapons are of his own unsightly, really, really dangerous design, also feels himself at odds with the world. He too wishes to live a life of love and acceptance, carving out a place for himself in society the way he carved tiny little bits of cardboard out of the cardboard box he'd placed on the stool in the living room and attacked with his homemade Wolverine claws.
But for both of these men/animals, that is impossible.
Yikes. Please be more careful, sir. I am worried for you. (Thanks for the tip, Edith.)

I see "Star Wars Kid" grew up a little and is now enjoying young adulthood.
Score = 15
Will he use the claws for good or evil? God only knows, but he definitely won't be using them to get laid.
Score = 40
I can't wait for the headline "Local man dismembers self with homemade superhero apparatus."
Score = 19
At 0:28 he does some serious damage to his grandmother's berber. I'm assuming that's why the video ends.
Score = 10
that box is probably very embarrassed.
Score = 16
AT WHAT POINT IS IT A GOOD IDEA TO JUMP FROM A TRAMPOLINE OVER A STOOL AND EVISCERATE A BOX WITH PNEUMATIC CLAWS?
How is this not your boyfriend, already?
Score = 13

Score = 33
You're back!
Score = 6
You know, one of Wolverine's tag lines is "I'm the best there is at what I do, and what I do ain't pretty." That pretty much sums up this guy, in a much sadder way.
Score = 9

But you mean in a much :(er way.
Score = 1
Nothing gets you pumped quite like... Prog... Rock? The Mars Volta is not exactly my first choice on music to take steroids to.

He should be careful, or something like this might happen:

Score = 1
SO.MUCH.RAGE
Score = 1
As a super-villain, and a cardboard box, this video terrifies me.
Score = 19
this reminds me of the paul f. tompkins joke. i'm too lazy to go into it. if you know it, you know what i'm talking about.
Score = -3
Why. WHY OH WHY...Did he have to use Mars Volta? Couldn't he be like any other tool and use Disturbed or something?
A+ for stupidity though.
In my head I imagine him fucking himself up with those things and the doctor quoting the movie saying, "Does it hurt when they come out?...of your own abdomen?"
Score = 1
The only way this video could be better is if just before he plunges his claws into the box, Maru the box cat jumps out and attacks his face.
Score = 6
But of course in attempting to remove Maru, he only stabs himself in the face. Perfect.
Score = 3
im just waiting for the news story in which this guy actually tries to use those things (in his quest for justice) and ends up in jail / injured terribly.
Score = 0
