yup,you are right. That is his height. So says Marvel. However I have Uncanny X-Men 325 when Gene Nation and the X-Men fight and at the end of the comic Storm is holding Wolverine's hand and walking with him,the artist rendition showed Wolverine half the height of Storm!
Yes,HALF! It was Joe Madueira(hope I spelt his name right)
Despite the fact they list his height to be that, there have been so many countless time an artist has depicted him much taller than what they list him at. I actually found it rare when I still read comics when they actually depicted him as very short.
