>>57810466In a way, they're similar to a Katar or Pata in a way (both bladed weapons intended to be held in the fist to fight), but ultimately differ wildly from Logan's claws (the other two are usually single-blade and double-edged, instead of three single edged blades in a row) They're retractable bone claws that the weapon X program bonded adamantium to, when they infused his skeleton with it. So loosely based on real weapons, but culturally it's a Wolverine rip-off, complete with a steel type sprouting 3 metal claws out its fists. And as I said, TPC just don't want the arseache of having to do a legal dance, just to pay a stipend and stop using Metal Claw to avoid paying more fees for the reference.
