Die I miss something? That guy is called Mangione, which is: "Gluttony"

But... if translated into German and then to English it's "Wolverine"

I think the joke is on the pronunciation.

The G is followed by an I, making it "soft" in Italian, so Mangione could sound sort of like mansion-eh.

Not really, but close enough.
