Dean Hale

"When I was a teenager, I couldn't relate to growing blades out of my knuckles or having super powered healing, or being chased by the Canadian government or having no memory of my past. But I could relate to feeling like a freak, to being an outsider." --Dean Hale on Xmen's Wolverine and the relateableness of Dangerous
