Know More About: X-Men Origins: Wolverine’s Colleagues

Aiding Wolverine in his quest are the mutants or X-men known to the world as Gambit, Deadpool, Silverfox and John Wraith. 

All gifted and all on the good side, these characters make a first-time appearance in the X-Men Origins: Wolverine film. 

Gambit, for instance is one of the most popular and central characters in the X-Men comics and has been around for a long time in the X-Men annals. Characterized by his burning red eyes, Remy LeBeau or Gambit has the power to charge objects with enough energy for them to explode and is blessed with an unerring aim. Ethnically Cajun, Gambit is played by Taylor Kitsch in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. 

Deadpool goes by the name of Wade Wilson and in the X-Men comic books imbibes some of the healing element possessed within Wolverine’s body. The affable Ryan Reynolds plays him and Hugh Jackman (who plays Wolverine) comments that Reynold’s character infused the X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie with a certain joie de vivre. 

Silver Fox, a Blackfoot Indian woman is a mutant whose life is closely intermingled with Wolverine’s. In the days when he was known as Logan and when his body was yet to be fused with Adamantine, Silver Fox and Logan shared a budding romance, which ended in great tragedy. Lynn Collins plays Kayla Silver Fox in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. 

John Wraith is a teleporting mutant or X-Man and serves alongside Wolverine on the Weapon X program, both in the comic books and in the movie. Not much is known about John Wraith and there is much mystery that surrounds him, perhaps more than even Wolverine. Musician with the popular band the Black Eyed Peas, will.i.am plays the role of John Wraith.
