    Die I miss something? That guy is called Mangione, which is: “Gluttony”

    But… if translated into German and then to English it’s “Wolverine”

      I think the joke is on the pronunciation.

      The G is followed by an I, making it “soft” in Italian, so Mangione could sound sort of like mansion-eh.

      Not really, but close enough.
