Warning! Spoilers ahead for Spider-Man and Wolverine #3!Everything fans knew aboutWolverineand his relationship with one particular Marvel hero has just changed thanks to a new revelation. There’s a lot of Logan’s past that he can’t recall, but there’s one thing he remembers when a dark moment rears its head, and it puts everything about one of his closest friendships in a brand-new light.
InSpider-Man & Wolverine #3by Marc Guggenheim and Kaare Andrews, Spider-Man wakes up in the Savage Land and is nearly eaten alive by a T. Rex. Fortunately, Peter is saved by Wolverine, who takes down the beast. ButSpider-Man is incredibly mad at Wolverine, still under the impression that Logan is the person who killed Peter’s parents.
Wolverinegets honest with Spider-Man. He doesn’t deny that he’s done awful things, but he mentions that he was capable of good even back then. He says it was just as likely that he was protecting them. Peter doubts Logan, but Wolverine sticks to his story thatSpider-Man’s parents were Logan’s friendsand that it’s likely he didn’t kill them.

Wolverine’s Ties to Spider-Man Run Deep
The schism between Spider-Man and Wolverine began when Logan consulted Peter to help him save the data from the Janus Directory, a database of spies. Peter cracked the system, but when looking up information about his parents, he discovered a video that made it look like Wolverine was actually guilty of killing Richard and Mary Parker, enraging Spider-Man.
It’s still up in the air whetherWolverine actually killed Spider-Man’s parentsor not. But either way, it’s still interesting that long before Logan knew Peter, Wolverine was close with Spider-Man’s mother and father. It explainswhy Wolverine has been doing his best to protect Spider-Manin the Savage Land and why Logan is desperately trying to prove his innocence.

His friendship with Mary and Richard was obviously important to him, just like his friendship with Peter is. Even ifWolverinecan’t remember how things went down, he wantsSpider-Manto believe that he does care about all the Parkers he’s met.
