Initially Creed tries to mold this youngster into what he thinks he should be. He tries over and over to break Logan, to force him to understand Creed's philosophy and way of life, to prove a point. Not only does the Runt recover and resist, but he manages to find a balance that Creed can't. Logan can be an animal, but he can also be an honorable man. Logan then meets several different groups of people that recognize his feral nature, but still respect him as a human being. A pattern develops. Creed increases his efforts to drive home his point. Logan starts beating him. Logan increasingly becomes a more integral part of the X-Men. Logan has cemented his place in a pack. Creed has no pack, either because none will have him, or he has murdered all that would be a part of it. Logan has not only surpassed him as a man, but as an animal as well. The lone wolf is not as dominant as the pack.
