I'd take the wolverines 

Stems from the question "would you rather take on a grizzly bear or 30 wolverines?" for which most everyone says, the grizzly. This phrase though, describes something so feirce or frightening, when applied to this scenario, one would actually prefer to fight the wolverines instead.
"holy shit, Patrick Swayze in 'Road House' was fuckin tough."
"yeah dude, I'd take the wolverines"

feeding the wolves 

Giving your enemies more things to use against you.
Don't let them see you upset, you're just feeding the wolves.

Fucking, Wolverine.

Such a phrase should only be used when you cannot remember what you were originally talking about, and need time to think. Instead of saying "Ummm" or "Errr", you would say "Fucking..." Followed, after a slight pause, by "...Wolverine."
Phillip, to Ben; "Dude, I just had a thought! You look like Fucking, Wolverine."

Ben; "What?"

Phillip; "Fucking, that pirate guy from that film, you know the one."

throw to the wolves 

To put someone, who is usually inexperienced, into a very difficult and extremely high-pressure situation where there is a high chance of failure.
Throw to the wolves: An example would be making an 18-year-old kid who has never pitched in the Major Leagues, take the mound against the New York Yankees in Yankee Stadium in game 7 of the World Series, with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th with the Yankees down by one. Oh yeah, and Alex Rodriguez is at the plate. Have fun, kiddo, you've been thrown to the wolves.
Standing at 5'3" and weighing in just over 250+ lbs, he is considered the "best there is at what he does," which, of course, is fighting. Armed with animal keen senses (i.e.: hyper keen scent tracking, enhanced hearing and sight), an unbrakable, laced-with-adamantium skeleton, a set of razor-sharp claws, enhanced strength (due to the bodily adaptation to carrying all the extra weight provided by the metal in his body), and an enhanced healing factor, he is considered to be one of the deadliest mutants of the x-universe.
