I read mostly X-Men and Wolverine, and for a small kid from a poor family in the middle of nowhere in Brazil, I found interesting seeing the world of superheroes suffering from prejudice and racism. When I left home, about 17 years old, I started to identify myself with Wolverine: a lonely character, fighting his battler on his own. Years passed by, friends started calling me Logan (and they still do), I named my son Logan (which causes confusion when I'm in Brazil) and most of the time I'm wearing Marvel branded t-shirts.”
