The 'Wolverine Crush' meme, also known as 'Wolverine Holding a Photo,' is a classic reaction image taken from the 1992 X-Men: The Animated Series episode 'Captive Hearts.' The scene depicts Logan lying on his bed, looking longingly at a framed photograph of Jean Grey and Scott Summers, highlighting his unrequited love and melancholy. Online, the meme became a viral sensation as users began photoshopping various images into the frame—ranging from video games and food to defunct websites—to signify a deep sense of nostalgia or longing. It is the go-to template for expressing that something was 'better back in the day' or simply showing affection for something currently out of reach.
