Art is an integral part of whoever liked having colors or sketches as a kid, which is basically every kid. Consequently, Ohanian too felt his passion for superheroes pretty avidly. So much so that he went on a journey to make a professional drawing of the Marvel comic book character, Wolverine.

He shared a creative drawing of the time when he was a kid. He drew a black-and-white sketch of Wolverine. Though embarrassingly, he stated, “I was definitely a weird kid in elementary school.” A superhero fanatic even till now, young Ohanian was anything but weird.
