A hobbit to play with a Wolverine? What's this world come to?

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. The mutants keep adding up for WOLVERINE. Looks like they're going whole-hog on this one.
The newest recruits are Dominic Monaghan and Daniel Henney. According to Variety, Henney will play an agent (AGENT ZERO, no less) from the Weapon X program that is an expert tracker and lethal marksman and Monaghan will play a mysterious mutant from Wolvie's past that can manipulate electricity and energy.
Gossip blog JustJared broke Monaghan yesterday, but they claim he'll be playing Beak/Blackwing, who wouldn't have control of electricity if I remember my minor Marvel characters correctly.
Sounds almost like Monaghan's playing Shocker or Electro to me if the Variety article has the right information, but again... I don't think Shocker or Elecgtro are tied specifically to Wolverine. I always remembered them as being more in Spider-Man's world. Anyone more familiar with the Marvelverse want to bring up other suggestions?
