Lol. Yes, I was referring to the X-men Evolution ones... I've seen and liked the other cartoon though too. Woleverine sort of has a habit of taking people under his wing without really realizing it. The way you describe it (gruff "I'm not actually doing this)" is perfect) Kitty (Shadowcat), and Jubilee as well as more recently others. Even in the movie he takes Rogue under his wing.
