Some Well-Known Wolverines

Wolverines are ferocious animals whose legendary toughness has led to abundant references in modern culture. Some of the more high-profile examples include:

Marvel® Entertainment / 20th Century Fox
The popular Wolverine® superhero from Marvel’s books, movies and licensing is also a key character played by Hugh Jackman in the successful "X-Men" movies.

Wolverine® Boots and Shoes

Sports Nations and Beyond

The first use of the term “nation” to describe a large and loyal population of followers began in the early 1980s when the passionate Oakland Raider fanbase became known as “Raider Nation”. Since that time, “nations” of dedicated supporters have become ubiquitous in contemporary culture.

Virtually every professional and collegiate sports organization has its own “nation” of fans. Websites such as
BadgerNation.com, HuskerNation.com, LakerNation.com and RedSoxNation.com provide unique opportunities for unifying, branding and marketing.

ESPN offers a comprehensive site at
SportsNation.com and a "SportsNation" television series. Although the company had no exclusive right to the term, a section entitled "WolverineNation" appeared briefly on its website. Currently, the site features the term, "College Football Nation". Other fan-centric sites such as FanNation.com (Time Warner) and SBNation.com (VOX) cover the entire world of sports.

Today, the "nation" concept has evolved and expanded far beyond the boundaries of sports. A few prominent examples include
LiveNation.com (the world's largest producer of live events), ColbertNation.com (online and television) and TechNation.com (online and radio).
