#1 Where the Wolverine=wolf fallacy comes from?

I'm talking about Wolverine the X-Men.
In the Onslaught saga, Onslaught used his telephatic power to make Storm believe that she was a child, and making Wolverine believe he was a wolf pup. Also, in the Origin limited series, James Howlett (the child who later became Logan/Wolverine) ran away from home after killing Thomas Logan, and lived in the woods with wolves.
It seems certain Marvel writers associate Wolverine with wolf, which I don't understand. Why? Wolverine is not wolf: Wolverine is wolverine, a particular kind of weasel that is strong and fierce enough to take down a moose.
Judging from his costume, "whiskered" facemask and the likes, it is obvious that Wolverine was originally intended to looks like wolverine instead of wolf. So again, where does this wolf association come from?
