KELLY MCEVERS, HOST:


Comic book writer and editor Len Wein has died. He helped create a lot of famous characters during his nearly 50-year career.


ARI SHAPIRO, HOST:


Like Storm, the white-haired X-Man who controls the weather.


MCEVERS: Human-plant hybrid 1 Swamp Thing.


SHAPIRO: And most notably 2...


(SOUNDBITE OF METAL CLANGING)


SHAPIRO: ...A ferocious 3 Canadian mutant with long metal claws.


(SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "THE WOLVERINE")


HIROYUKI SANADA: (As Shingen) What kind of monster are you?


HUGH JACKMAN: (As Logan) The Wolverine.


SHAPIRO: Wolverine first appeared in 1974 in an issue of "The Incredible Hulk."


EVAN NARCISSE: And he was kind of a bruiser.


MCEVERS: Evan Narcisse writes about comics for the website io9. He says Len Weins' Wolverine was a change from the straight-laced heroes of the time.


NARCISSE: He was coarse. He was rowdy. He was impolite. That was a really big breath of fresh air.


SHAPIRO: In 1975, Wein and artist Dave Cockrum revamped Marvel's X-Men. They added Wolverine to the team, and the rest is pop culture history.


MCEVERS: And that's not all Wein did.


NARCISSE: He edited "Watchmen," which is one of the most important superhero comics of the 20th century.


MCEVERS: The series was published by DC Comics in the late '80s. And it was different - darker, more philosophical 4. "Watchmen" set a serious tone for comic books.


SHAPIRO: And Wein played a big part in that.


NARCISSE: He was always looking for the humanity in these over-the-top absurdist paradigms 5 of superhero work. Like, he was trying to find, how can these characters be relatable to readers?


SHAPIRO: Narcisse says that's part of Wein's legacy 6. His characters may have had superpowers, but they also grappled with self-doubt and failure.


MCEVERS: Comic book writer and editor Len Wein died yesterday. He was 69.
