Actually it is quite sad .....all the feats listed above show why Wolverine has more CIS/PIS than Doom/Batman/Slade/Etc COMBINED.
Let's dissect this:
-Fighting Gladiator for 6 days. Now, Ive to admit this is the first I'm hearing of this, but if it is true then that is absolute hogwash. Gladiator's strength levels ebb and flow (from planet mover to mere brick), but Wolverine should be a flea to him.
Agreed. There is no logical way Wolverine should last 5 seconds against this Superman knock-off without massive PIS or CIS.

While I would not dismiss a possible Wolverine victory out of hand, I do not think we have seen a fight where both fight up to their top potential. And considering some of Namor's top-end feats, Wolverine would face quite a challenge.

Yes, yes it is.

Thus how could he have walked away from that? I can see how a character like Lobo can come back, since he is able to regenerate from an atom, but Wolverine. Reminds me of the whole 'Wolverine survived inside the sun' bunch of spiel a certain Wolverine 'fan' used to spout forth some months back!
Wolverine never survived a direct hit from a nuclear bomb (at least in my opinion). What he survived a hit from seemed to be little more than a rather mild explosive device, but, whatever it was called or claimed to be, it demonstrated none of the destructive capacity that even a small nuclear device is capable of. To put it another way, Wolverine surviving an explosion that isn't even strong enough to damage his pants is not a terribly impressive feat.

looks impressive

but you see pants, boots, and belt all intact. His skin is undamaged as is his hair and there is intact debris only feet away.

This is particularly when the jarring force of the impact makes the brain impact onto the sides of the inside of the skull. A punch from any of those super-bricks may not break his skeleton, but it would do significant damage to his internal organs by bruising them. The sheer impact should provide sufficient g-forces to partially liquefy some of them, and while Wolverine may not necessarily die he should be immediately be taken out of the fight.
However I guess if he can walk out of a nuke strike point blank (
) then matters like the above do not matter for Wolverine.
It is actually disgusting!
Once again I agree. When I played football in high school, I had a teammate who suffered a concussion just from getting a relatively light hit to the head and was knocked out for some time. A blow from any high-end super strong character would cause massive brain damage. Why this fact is ignored by writers is lost on me.
