That said, Wolverine did have a reason for the Patch identity, and I don't think we've had any hint that either Lindsay or O'Donnell knew Logan as Wolverine and/or just plain himself, so it was not cool of Jessica to spill the beans nor for Lindsay to do the same.<br /><br>Blamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342343767763035991noreply@blogger.com
