Hmm, new promotional still for Wolverine? Better check it against the list of known qualities all Wolverine poses must have:
1. The pose must be very unlikely to occur naturally - Holding arms out and back, squatting and grimacing, crossing claws--these things don't traditionally happen during a battle for your life. They must be forced for the sake of coolness.
2. The pose must prominently display his claws - Anything with the claws coming at the camera is good, as is anything with them crossed. Besides looking cool, the crossing also resembles an "X", recalling that he is, in fact, part of the X-Men.
3. The pose must be really cool (i.e., imitates a drawing you made of Wolverine in junior high study hall).
Yeah, this is genuine, alright. And extremely boring. Was school portrait background the only option? (Thanks, Joe.)
