Roy Thomas, who was employed by Stan Lee in 1965 as a staff writer, assumed the role of Marvel’s editor-in-chief from Lee in 1972 when Lee shifted to becoming the publisher. He is renowned for his collaboration in creating several well-known characters such as Vision, Carol Danvers, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist. However, until recently, he had not been recognized officially as a co-creator of Wolverine, a position he had long advocated to Marvel. This new acknowledgment has sparked controversy among certain sections of the internet and the creative community due to his role as an editor during Wolverine’s creation in 1974, a role not typically credited with co-creation. The dissatisfaction deepened after Christine Valada, the widow of late Wolverine co-creator Len Wein, expressed her disapproval publicly. Thomas claims that this credit simply confirms what he has been saying for years—that he was instrumental in the character’s inception and contributed significantly to its defining features—and he has old newspaper articles to support his claim. Below, he discusses his thoughts on the movie and being credited alongside Wein, John Romita Sr., and Herb Trimpe, stating, “The four of us made a great team on that project, with me, as editor-in-chief, happy to delegate tasks to Len, John, and Herb once I provided them with general instructions.”
