I have a question: What does Woverine have to do for you to convince you guys that he can indeed win high against top tiers?
For example what would it take for you to say he can beat Thor , Can stab Superman etc...
I know we have many non believe and skeptic when it comes to Logan but one has to ask are we going to keep ignoring comics when it comes to this guy?
for example Say Wolverine beats Firelord by stabbing him to death etc would that change anything?

Batman doesn't get it worse, at all.
Top tier would be heralds, and Batman only -barely- survives those encounters, he do not "hang" with them.
I also wonder who'd be stupid enough to pull the "he has no powers" argument. Man's got an insane suit. Stops bullets, adds strength and so on.

well i hate superman and love wolverine but not only could he not win ever against Sups but he would never even get to touch him let alone stab him...not to mention the claws wouldn't puncture superman at all...as for thor i wont lie thor is someone i like alot but completely unbiased opinion here logan could never go against him ever. Sorry

I'd like it if a little more thought was put into the encounters instead of his opponents just being dumb around him. The Spider-Man vs Firelord thing I thought was fine example. It took him like a whole day to just KO Firelord. Granted, I don't know much about Firelord so it could have been out of character for him to try to be honorable about it and want to melee Spider-Man instead of just burning down the city but I thought it was reasonable. Better than "****, I just forgot what powers I have."

Well, to be fair Wolverine did stab Thanos.

To really change my opinion, they'd have to keep him at top tier level consistently. If he fights on even terms with Gladiator or Firelord in one issue, he shouldn't get chumped by someone like Sabretooth in the next. To be considered one of the big boys, showings on the low end of the spectrum should be the exception not the rule.

But how does loosing to Sabretooth take away anything from his wins or good fight with top tiers since he has done consistently well against them.
Writers seem to give the impression that Wolverine can indeed do some damage in that department. I understand that his power set does not allow or shouldn't allow him to win or do well against top tier but he does and have been doing for years.
So we just go the PIS/CIS route for all this major fights against top tiers?

In response to the original thread question-Logan would have to undergo some major on panel augmentation, like for instance infusion of the power cosmic. With Logan's classic powerset he should get stomped against top tier opponents, like when Sentry ended thier fight, with 1 punch.
Battlehammer
see I was all for this thread untill I heard, firelord, superman ect.
If we talking against namor, thing, herc, Tiger Shark ect. Hanging with Hulk ect. I see what you mean because consistently does this.
He hardly fights any beings of superman o firelord level.

for starters his classic power set he was not even a mutant, his gloves were attach to his gloves, he was in his twenties, has spiderman level stats and no healing factor........
Sentry did not end it in one punch. He hit wolverine twice after stating he new he could no kill wolverine implying he was not holding back at all with the shots, wolevrine said he hits like galactus, and wolverine had shaw to his throat moments before the event.

Has he ever actually been hit by Galactus? Given his comic title promiscuity, I don't doubt that he might have, but that seems like a funny claim to make.

actaully he might have during secret war, but it was more or less hyper bole. Pretty much ment he hits really really hard.

To make me think Wolverine can hang out with top tiers I want him to fight Superman in a cannon crossover, stabbing him and leaving him for death after stopping Flash's speed blitz and one shotting Wonder Woman without his claws. Then he has to KO Darkseid after he survives 8 the omega effect eight times in a row.
Then, I want it to be remembered and mentioned in the next ten years of comic book history and make it into a series of movies, until the character its known as "the hairy dwarf who decked Superman".
Then cancel all the books he is in and kill him permanently so we know it was not just to boost or boast his popularity. THEN, I'll concede Logan beats Supes handily and I'll make a respect threat about it.

Sentry, Wonder Man & Gladiator have all one-shotted Wolverine. Give it up.
He's one of the most popular characters in comics, is deservedly included in the ranks of the best characters ever created, is a household name now thanks to the X-Men films...
But it doesn't make him top tier.

Most popular street level and low meta level characters do well against higher tiers. It's just the way it is. Bat's, who is one of my favorites, has put down Grundy, Captain Marvel and made DS bleed. I wouldn't consider those feats "right" given power sets but it's happened.
Wolverine has had several bad moments the past 2+ years. Namor, WWH and Skaar more recently. Rulk tossed him miles away last month. But he makes Marvel a lot of money. Of course he'll have high showings.
I just think people need to be more reasonable in the vs forum. Wolverine probably gets more hate than any other character.

To be fair, the style is more of a matter of taste. As much as I make fun of the gunface, I find it much more cool than having claws and a healing factor. The combination of shooting skills and a potent gun, for a face, makes him like White Death, who is incredibly awesome. Except on a grander scale.

cosigned.
this is generalized comment not directed at any in particular
Wolverine character is designed to take it to extremely powerful mele oriented characters due to the combination of his skills, powers and weapons. He not taking it to superman or firelord, but he is able to fight characters like Hulk (though he never gunna win) and he able to beat stalemate brick like characters lacking either vast healing factor, durbaility that can withstand his claws, or range or speed he can not cope with.

Thus the reason why Wolvie would make an abominable leader of the X-Men. His "badass" image is more of self secluded, loner, one-man-army, rebel, and all that mumble jumble that would get in the way of the other team mates. The Boy Scout personality does wonders for leaders such as Captain America and Superman....

Actually he make a great leader, and currently and has lead countless teams. Team X, alpha flight, uncanny x-men, currently leader of black dragon, currently leader of x-force, was leader of countless special opt teams/ military campaigns. He a great leader which has been brought up a number of times by the likes of Snowbird, Mac and even cyclopes among others. He simply dislike leading teams which comes from a number of reason which difficult to understand unless you have read his comic runs.

Pretty much. I hope people take notice that you said he wouldn't beat Supes, Hulk and FL too.
Heck, Ben Grimm even had a good showing a few months back against Logan. Not sure why people are all up in arms about him. He has an unbreakable skeleton, massive healing and razor sharp claws plus speed and skills. So he has good showings against some one dimensional bricks.
I think Bats and Cap get more of a pass in the vs forum. Not sure why though.

As do I, though it is not very likely. They have not for the past few years it unlikely for that to change. It kinda funny though when people call me a fan boy then for example like I think wolverine takes spiderman 10/10, I think he beat Hulk/Superman ect. despite the numerous times I have said other wises lol.
Realy when was this? Dam I am slacking on my comic reading. Yea I dont get it either why everyone hates him so.
Yea I know which is so ridiculous wolverine a true meta, has blades able to cut right through almost anything, has enhanced durability/unbreakable skeleton and crazy damage soak. Yet people are more willing to give Bats and Capt the win.

It was in the FF. The arc where future Sue comes back in time. So it was a future Logan. PM me and I'll find the issue for you tomorrow.
I do think a lot of the problems comes from Marvel. They seem to make him uber for some arcs then barely a threat in other arcs. Seems like they've started to even the character out recently. He's no longer a god-like character but still shows some good feats. I think him hurting Rulk but getting BFRed was pretty close to both of their power sets imo.

Sentry subdued him in seconds during Civil War.
Gladiator smacked him out of his way in the X-Mansion during Grant Morrison's New X-Men run (Logan didn't get up to fight Glads again during that melee)
And I've seen scans in the Owned! thread that shows Wonder Man totally surprising and overwhelming Logan with just a few punches - work from Erik Larsen's Marvel days.
And no, it was the movies. Wolverine was only huge with comic fans and the hardcore scifi geek crowd. He was as largely unknown to the greater public as Iron Man was(before his movie.) People in the average household didn't know who was, not like Batman, Superman or Spider Man.

We seem to have different interpretations of getting one shotted. You're taking it literally; I'm using it in the sense that he gets owned in these particular fights very quickly. Hulk hasn't one shotted him - the fights are long and drawn out (because Marvel wants to see a whole issue of them fighting.)
And again, I will clarify - Wolverine has long been an icon in the comics field with fans, but that didn't mean he was well known outside the industry prior to the first film. The first animated series helped to create some more awareness, that's all. Prior to 2000, if you stopped the average person on the street and showed them a list of Marvel's 20 most popular characters, the only ones they would have been familiar with would have been Spider Man and the Hulk (and Thor possibly, but he's known from mythology.) That because of decades of exposure on TV - animated and live action - less to do with comics. Wolverine and the X-Men are just as famous now, but that's because of the movies.

Well the majority of the board says oneshotted when some one actaully been oneshotted.......which I find hard to believe your original intention was that you ment he got taken out quickly, because one can be taken otu quickly but take many shots before they go down.
Also each event had circumstances, one of which was shown off pannel and there no indication how long the fight was. Another he was taken by surprize after day of fighting and he was never KOed and he rebounded almost instantly after he stop getting hit. Sentry the only semi legit one and Logan has been damage prior to the fight and he took more then one shot and it the sentry mind you the guy who either jobbing or godly........

Or it because Wolverine is designed as an anti-brick to fight people jsut like the Hulk.......which he been doing consistently for decades.

I disagree, Almost everyone I new, knew the x-men and the character they associated with them was Wolverine prior to the movies. He was not as big perhaps as the others, but he was certainly an Icon and was marvel second most popular marvel character.

will do thanks a lot.
I agree and disagree. he was pretty consistent. People just blow certain events out of the water. Like the only angle of death thing and healing from a skeleton, they say this make him godly. Yet it fine when DP does it. It made him no more a threat then usual, just means he was pretty dam near impossiable to kill which he always been. I think a lot of it is more the fact he so popular everything he does is viewed by the majority of the board and events are blown out of poportion due to hate towards him which further fuels it. People make such a deal about it, that it just keeps getting worses and worses. Funny though one thing I notice is in order for events/feats to be validate for wolverine compared to other characters such as say IF, DP ect. you need far more examples/scans and evidence then say other characters who do something onces and it consider usable evidence by the majority of the board due to not possesing nearly such negative agression towards them by the boards.
I agree with you on the rulk event.

If so, it's natural that he's an icon to them. Doesn't equal the world outside the comics.
You know you've made your mark in greater pop culture when you get mentioned in media unrelated to comics. Superman & Batman get referenced in many ways everyday, as does Spider Man. Thanks to decades of cartoons, Aquaman is a mocked character on Seinfeld. It's common in news reports or whatnot, when someone is losing control in some film footage to joke they're 'Hulking out'; the viewers know what is meant. And in a film like Transformers, in a room with lots of cuts in the wall, Wolverine( and Freddy Kruger) get referenced by Anthony Anderson to laughs of recognition by the audience, who know who Wolverine (and Hugh Jackman) is after three X-Men films. That's the status he has now, thanks to the films.

Somehow I doubt your friends know so much about about Logan without looking at comics back in the day. I'm not a gamer; think I know anything about World Of Warcraft?
Prior to the first film's release, Wolverine was as well known as Iron Man. But the media buzz leading up to the Iron Man movie, was about Marvle gambling on a character 'largely unknown outside of comic circles.' Logan was once in the same position.

Just like Hulk seems to job to Logan, Marvel makes Logan job to the Punisher. They have to, because there's no reason why Logan, with thousands of death notches on his claws, should be unable to put Frank in the ground. But under Garth Ennis, Frank puts Logan down with a baseball strike in the nuts, blows his face off with a shotgun, and rolls over him with a steamroller.
Generally surviving an encounter with Logan is the same as winning, if you're non powered.

So much? I said they new who he ways, not like they new his entire history or anything. my friends never read comics, they all new who he was.
I dont bplay WOW nor do most of my friends, but we all been to the arcade before when we were kids and saw x-men game. We all remeber the nintendo games and comercials. As well as the shows, t shirts ect. The x-men were very well exposed well before the movies. I not sure why you dont think they were.

He was, as was every character including spiderman, but he was far from being unknown prior to the x-men movies. The did not take a gamble on him, he was well known by the majority of people in USA at least. There a reason why fox bought the x-men rights, they no spend all that money on an unknown. I am sorry, but you are quite wrong and mistaken. Wolverine nor the x-men were not in the position Iron Man was prior to there movie. They were already well known character in multiable media's.

This is even worse, your using a single showing of punisher, compared with wolverine vast history with Hulk and brick characters, it not even closes to comparable.
Whats worse is your talking about ennis......guy who has straight up stated he hates super powered hero's and is bias against them. He also in that story had wolverine attack by a bunch of midgets trying to take off his legs.......issue was joke like most of ennis stuff.....hell ennis had punisher put spiderman in a headlock before if not mistaken......using ennis as some sort of evidence is absurd. Not to mention in the issue Punisher states he got lucky to even survive the encounter. Also Wolverine never was trying to kill him, and Punisher used plot devices and sucker attacks.......

So what type of example does cyclopes send? You seem from your statement to believe cyclopes example is that of one no one elese sets. you really think that wolverines entire role as a leader........
Well on the boards it would hardly matter, Logan is consider an idiot and people think jublee a better leader then him.
Cyclopes is the better super hero leader for sure. He seems to thrive off it. If Logan held an advantage in any type of leadership it be special opts type, due to the fact he has decades of experiences leading such assaults and his character is cater made for thoses type of mission.
Scot is all all round better leader, and few by the super human community as such.

his role as leader is to command. it's to gain the respect of those around him by being a good leader. he's not a guy that people like, but he used to be the guy that embodied the "don't kill to achieve our goals" and the like. he was xavier's right hand.
logan fills a different (though no less important) role on the team.

well, jubilee aint bad.
i just think that leading any sort of unit, cyclops is superior. logan seems so much better at being allowed to run free and do his own thing. giving orders has just never struck me as being his strong suit. he's that star player that you don't tell what to do, cos you know that when he's really needed, he'll do what's required of him. he's just never going to be team captain, if that makes any sense.

You know when Hulk didn't job to Wolverine, was during World War Hulk. Even holding off a couple dozen X-Men, Hulk just mercilessly pounded Logan's brain into mush, and Logan was out of it for the rest of the issue. So much for being an anti-brick in that fight.
And the Punisher also held his own against Logan in their very first meeting in 1989, in Punisher War Journal (under Carl Potts & Jim Lee.)
Neither had even met the other before, and Logan was out to kill Frank - mistaking him for a brutal poacher in Africa - but he was unable to due to Frank's quick resourcefulness. The conflict went on into the next issue until they both realized they ere on the same side.

Wolverine fought Hulk separately actually, and Hulk stated they could go on all day. The difference there was Hulk was not only the most powerful he been, but also possesed a tactical mind, and new Logan would try the same move his clone did. To pretend like Hulk job in the other fights is simply wrong. The other Hulks did not posses his power nor his tactical prowesses, which is what emblem him to take Logan like such. Also find this funny since Logan did better and lasted longer then almost anyone including many bricks who fought WWH.

Also there was only a page left in the issue, juggernaut shows up and the issue ends and still we see Logan trying to get back up.
He even attempts to fight Hulk in the next issue, but his brain had not completely healed yet.

Actaully he showed just why he an anti-brick he was able to take more punishment then most anyone who had fought WWH to that point. Hulks not a simple brick, he posses a massive healing factor. Logan can't beat Hulk because of this, but he can give him a fight for a bit. If another brick tried that stunt they would have lost the uses of there arm, if it was not for hulk healing factor and bulk he could never had achieve such a tactic.

Notice how you left out the part that earlier in the issue wolverine KO Frank with a glancing shot.
As for the fight you are speaking off, Logan was shot prior to the engagement and the enagagement last for 3 pannels, but thanks for trying to play it off like punisher did some amazing thing.

I mean clearly Logan can't take it to bricks he only beaten herc once, stalemated Namor (who stated he bee unable to beat him if Logan was not mind controlled), then beat namor, then dropped namor twice in there next fight and took down his elite guard, he also made short work of tiger shark, beaten rough-house several times, damage Thing face so badly he wore mask for a long time and had him dead to rights, Then in another fight took Thing down in 5 pannels easily, He beaten Ba'al, Taken down wendigo and taken it to wendigo several times, taken down grey hulk, fought hulk 14 times or more, stalemated death head twice, stalemated ghost rider twice, stalemated vengeance, beat the crap out of abomination in a few pannels, one shotted Arkon, taken it to thor though not sure if thats cannon, beat the crap out of crusader, takes geneticall enahnced ape stronger then doc samson, takes down domina ect

Wolverine has had several bad moments the past 2+ years. Namor, WWH and Skaar more recently. Rulk tossed him miles away last month. But he makes Marvel a lot of money. Of course he'll have high showings.
I just think people need to be more reasonable in the vs forum. Wolverine probably gets more hate than any other character. I think that making him to that level would worsen what he's supposed to be, a tough character that stands up against the odds and keeps fighting. We had a thread like this, and several characters have high showings against really high end guys. But there is a correlation between the fans and how a character is treated on the forum. Someone was arguing Wolverine stands a chance against Lobo in a couple of threads.

I disagree, it not always the cases. People were shitting on Wolverine before the idiot comments came out from people back in the day. He was generally dislike on the forum from day one. I mean I am astounded he come this far, back few years ago the majority of the board had every street leveler there was beating him. If you even thought about saying he could take a brick you be shitted on by countless people. I remeber people had a thread were he was not even ranked like top 15 in skill on the x-men team alone this was not one person it was majority of people. Deathstroke was praised on the board. Now though wolverine still disliked widely by many members at least they have grudgingly accepted that he lot higher then he was given credit back in the day on here. It funny to becuase Death stroke praises has dropped and he no longer "unbeatable" of his level. Most of the crap about him got straighten out, lot of it turned out to be non cannon feats people passed as normal reality and so on.
Lobo comments I am assuming are from a long time ago. Or a sock who purposely screwing with people.

I love his team ups with Spiderman, (I love how in the New Avengers he says he has a kid and Spiderman is like, "You've had sex?" He's quite popular but so many people have supported him in so many ridiculous threads. Iceman, Godzilla, Metallo, etc. He doesn't have an auto win against a brick, he does well against them.
Yea DS was praised on the board against Flash though, Doom was overrated too. But back then people went by stats more and older feats and Wolverine was a enhanced/peak human who was fast and tough. Over time he's been said to be faster than Spiderman, high ton strength, more agile, etc etc etc. He has had some high end feats more recently though.
There are people who argued Wolverine in a Venom suit against Superman, that actually makes the character worse. I never saw a Cap vs Godzilla thread, and if there was it didn't last long. Batman was never assumed to beat any high end without "prep", those threads never lasted long. Any thread with Wolverine curbstomp or not has to go at least 10 pages. Then on top of that his name appears in thread where he has nothing to do with or is even related to any character, like Batman vs Lizard. Many of his supporters have also bashed many members and *unfortunately* have a reputation for lack of diction.
I'd say the supporters get the burn. Though I see what you mean. TMNT and SF were underrated. SF was underrated especially in Games vs back in 05 when I first showed up, now they are respected, but you do have haters because of it. Sure there were some SF fanboys but overall the characters had the feat to back them up and the vast majority of the fanboys (except 1) weren't obnoxious or fit into the category of "Wolverneiiine wns upac jp 1111" Which is where the reputation comes from.

But he hasent. In a neutral book they had Namor saying he was not able to take wolverine if he was not mind controlled. Then in invadar book which is namor book he got beat by Wolverine, then in wolverine book he got beat on dropped twice on land and wolverien got the better in toney suit in the water. two seperate issues. Then in Namor book they fought, namor had to run for water. He came through the ground and surprized wolverine. So you have like 5 fights to 1.
WWH has a fast healing factor much faster then Red Hulk. Abilities make fights. WWH vast healing factor made it easier to take wolverine out who also by the way put up one of the best fights out of msot characters who face him. Red Hulk has a far slower healing factor which is why wolverien gave him trouble, however he posses greater base level strength and durability then WWH.
Yea.
It not a lack of consistency. Wolverine pretty dam consistent with the characters he beats. Namor getting an advantage one time out of 6 is far more consistent then many matches between two hero's which tend to go back and forth. Wolverine always been good against bricks. It not something new, you simply dont read him requirely. He extremely effective verse one demensional bricks. If they lack a extremely powerful healing factor and are melee orient it his bread and butter.

Thoses thread are mad old.
Depends on the brick to be honest, any brick with real invalnerability, high end healing factor, superior combat speed or powerful range powers either shit stomp him or he puts up a fight but has no chances of winning. However people like Thing, Ares ect. There costume made for more to beat espcially thing.

He was praised on the baord verse anyone. It was always his mind works to fast, he has flash like speed, and he has the strength of 100 plus men. They dident go by stats for that DS dident even have stats on him.
Wolverine was always said on the boards to be peak-human back then, which never made any senses, he never was onces even hinted as being so in the comics. Actaully it not recently, a lot of his best physical feats are from back in the day.

Again old threads, recently for the last year or more that has not been the cases. The thread being made arnt by wolverine fans. There from either people socking or looking to bait. The thread length really has nothing to do with wolverine fans asside from the correcting of others on some matter. Msot of the time people are retarded and can't see that the idiot "supporting" wolverine is a sock baiting them.
Batman vs Lizard thread another perfect example. Again wolverine fan never brought that up, though if you are one and you respond to correct them, you automatically get blamed for bringing him up yet you dident. 85% of the time wolverine threads is brought up by a non fan, and the rediculous thread being created arnt by fan either.
They bash becuase they been bash repeatedly over and over. Yet one there being bash it ok, but as soon as they say something there the bad guys. The shit been going on forever. People jump on there ban wagons, and pretend there the inncosent ones when infact they been trolling or bashing the fan. sure bashing others is not the way to go about it, but it gets tireing been trolled/bashed/even worse when you have to repeat the same shit to same person 50 times every thread. Be sides very recently I barely evenen went into threads only to say a comment or two. There a reason me/srank/jinzin are barley in threads anymore. asside from mainly the last two days for me becuase I bored as hell writing my paper.

There are plenty in x-men books, not so much recently due to him not beeing a central figure anymore. Main reason is logan takena back seat in x-men for quite awhile he barly in it or says anything. Also how is wolverine suposes to have one on one fights in x-men books were he surrounded by a team. I know you want to some how discredit his consistent feats against brick character, but pretending like they dont matter becuase they happen in his book is just wrong.
oh and wolverine took it the red hulk is Hulk own run.
He also recently beat the shit out of deathstrike and who ever has pylocke body in uncanny x-men.
In astonishing x-men he blocked lasers with his claws.
He did pretty dam good vs omega red in uncanny x-men, better then he does in his solo.
New avenger he took down thunderball in an awosome fashion, using him a s a shield, he also has ahve his torso blown away then this crazy ass magic happen and he was the first one up and the only one not to fall.
I think it funny you assume Logan so much better in his book and that it some sorta bias sinces it his own run and thats were all his feats come from. You might want to actaully read his runs......

ok, i didn't read invaders so i'll take your word for it.
i don't agree about the namor book. namor looked superior to me.
how about someone else, like, hercules. people are saying he should beat hercules. seriously? or ares?
i've even see people arguing for logan against THOR, and he's not even a brick.
that's my point. in a PIS riddled mess of a book where they make pretty much every other x-man look bad, logan still gets to do well simply because of his status.
i'm not trying to discredit anything. i just want to see it fair across the board, so don't take it as some sort of vendetta.
i simply want marvel to either put their money where their mouth is, or stop f*cking around.
exactly. the same run in which rulk beat surfer, a watcher, hulk, and thor. and yet he has trouble with wolverine. does that not show some sort of silliness on marvel's part?

what was being argued was thor h2h verse wolverine. another argueing in a comic. which I was a part of and was not surprized how thor acted. He tends to quite often not utilize his abilities and simply go melee. His fights with herc are perfect example, he should wreck herc, but he doesent. No one argued that thor in a forum, battle would not destroy wolverine.

This annoys me, statement like this. wolverine only does good because of his status, or that it his book ect.
Logan still got beat. he also had one of the longest runnign rivaleries with Hulk, not no surprize he fights him one on one. Colossus did good as well. Wolverine claws give him the ability to damage Hulk while his healing factor lets him bang for awhile, not big surprize him and colossus were able to handle them selfs the longest since they both have the best damage soak of the team.
your mad about cyclopes lol

Sounds like it I mean you trying to imply that he only good in his runs, as if they should be ignored becuase of that. Then you said wolverine only did good in WWH becuase of his status. Then you tried to argue that he does nothing in x-men feat wise, so forth. then the whole namor thign saying he inconsistent which could be said of any character. Wolverien tends to be very consistent on who he beats and loses too.
I dont think your intentially doing it, it just sounds that way.

exactly. the same run in which rulk beat surfer, a watcher, hulk, and thor. and yet he has trouble with wolverine. does that not show some sort of silliness on marvel's part?
Watcher does not fight, and was more one of those show how bad ass I am crap. never saw silver surfer fight, Thor beat Rulk. Rulk has the power to asorb hulks radation. Your using abc logic. Becuase he beat this guy that means he beats this guy or should. Differences wolverine has with thoses people is that he uses piercing weapons. Rulk seems to have very high durablility, but he seems to have a shitty healing factor. He never hit wolverine, he throw him.

Your not going to find many wolverine vs brick fights in x-men comics, becuase the fact is be lame fight if entire x-men team attack one brick lol.
though wolverien has fought hulk 3 times in x-men stories, he also fought wendigo twice I believe in x-men stories. He also in alpha flight stories fought wendigo a few times, and also in a spiderman story.

Thoses thread are mad old.
Depends on the brick to be honest, any brick with real invalnerability, high end healing factor, superior combat speed or powerful range powers either shit stomp him or he puts up a fight but has no chances of winning. However people like Thing, Ares ect. There costume made for more to beat espcially thing.
He was praised on the baord verse anyone. It was always his mind works to fast, he has flash like speed, and he has the strength of 100 plus men. They dident go by stats for that DS dident even have stats on him.
Wolverine was always said on the boards to be peak-human back then, which never made any senses, he never was onces even hinted as being so in the comics. Actaully it not recently, a lot of his best physical feats are from back in the day.
Again old threads, recently for the last year or more that has not been the cases. The thread being made arnt by wolverine fans. There from either people socking or looking to bait. The thread length really has nothing to do with wolverine fans asside from the correcting of others on some matter. Msot of the time people are retarded and can't see that the idiot "supporting" wolverine is a sock baiting them.
Batman vs Lizard thread another perfect example. Again wolverine fan never brought that up, though if you are one and you respond to correct them, you automatically get blamed for bringing him up yet you dident. 85% of the time wolverine threads is brought up by a non fan, and the rediculous thread being created arnt by fan either.
They bash becuase they been bash repeatedly over and over. Yet one there being bash it ok, but as soon as they say something there the bad guys. The shit been going on forever. People jump on there ban wagons, and pretend there the inncosent ones when infact they been trolling or bashing the fan. sure bashing others is not the way to go about it, but it gets tireing been trolled/bashed/even worse when you have to repeat the same shit to same person 50 times every thread. Be sides very recently I barely evenen went into threads only to say a comment or two. There a reason me/srank/jinzin are barley in threads anymore. asside from mainly the last two days for me becuase I bored as hell writing my paper.
that they do.
God I hate that "wolverine wns kduie" crap it annoying. It the best when your debating and bring forth prove, scans issues numbers and people respond to you like that......... it utterly annoying. what worse is when people complain about all the wolverine fans when there litterally 4 on the board that support him well now five.
People need to patention most of these threads and "wolverine fans" are sock ****ing with people, or people baiting others, or simply making stupid thread.
Shit I can't even remeber the last wolverine thread I saw a wolverine supporter asside from carver make Dude (no offense of course) Wolverine fans bash all the time, and no Lobo vs Colossus was yesterday. Wolverine made his way into the thread yet again... *sigh*.
Those ridiculous threads were throughout the times and all of his supporters supported them, all of them, not sock puppets, all of his supporters form A-Z.
Thread length does matter. What person argues Iceman vs Wolverine for 15 pages when he has not any chance whatsoever to even hurt him. Why does it matter who makes the threads? Why argue in them seriously? In Colossus vs Wolverine and Spiderman I jumped in, gave it to Colossus and left. If I feel they don't have a chance, I don't drag it on with stupid arguments. I'm going to have to start pulling up screenshots. If a bunch of idiots argue Superman vs Galactus and LT, he would get the same treatment (many people do bash Superman fans, but they are less rabid), those threads don't last more than a page and if they do, they are usually joke comments. But not Logan threads, they go on for ages and ages, when he clearly has no chance. Wolverine vs Wonder Woman (standard match, not the one I made), that one went on for ages with the same people defending him. Why? Why lower the reputation of Wolverine like that by arguing him in threads he has no chance against. Then call the smart members "morrroons" and proceed to bash them.
And no, the Wolverine supporters get away for bashing more because people feel sympathy for them. I won't say they don't get bashed, but they sure do get away with it. I've never seen a hardcore supporter banned for it.
Now if someone goes "Well for example, Wolverine is durable, but he isn't as skilled as xxx". Why does it have to get to be a huge off topic debate with Wolverine, in a nonrelated thread?
I mean Spiderman was brought up and he was a Lizard related character and there were no huge debates about him.
Every character has their ups and downs and fans, but on a consistent basis I can't imagine any character that will have at least 10 pages on a thread no matter how ridiculous except him. If people would just stop on both sides, it could improve. But to say Wolverine supporters were just easy going innocent guys is another issue entirely. Now some supporters are better than others obviously, but throughout the history on this board, I would say many of them fit that description.

for example Say Wolverine beats Firelord by stabbing him to death etc would that change anything?
He ain't beating Thor or Superman. Thor has go to many showings that suggest that he would beat the shit out of Wolverine.

As for the fight you are speaking off, Logan was shot prior to the engagement and the enagagement last for 3 pannels, but thanks for trying to play it off like punisher did some amazing thing.
Why should it be mentioned - since it was failure on Wolverine's part?
He thought he killed Frank with his claws (which he was trying to do), but Frank pulled his body back enough to make it a glancing blow, faking out Wolverine. Wolverine failing to kill someone in the heat of combat - especially someone with no powers - is victory on the part of the Punisher. Because they picked up where they left off next issue.
It's rare for Logan not to truly defeat someone who's only peak human. Frank goes up there with Captain America...
...along with Cyclops, who beat Logan strictly h2h during Claremont & Byrne's Proteus storyline.

Sounds rediculous, but when you factor in the claws it not. His claws have the ability to pierce the toughest hide. Strength aint everything. If you have the ability to withstand attacks of people 50 times your strength, but also have the ability to Bypass there durability due to your weapons it makes you quite capable. Espicially when he normally quite a bit quicker then his opponents and vastly more skilled
again remeber this is comic world. People put far to much into ones strength.

The problem isn't strength and durability. Wolverine has what it takes to deal with people like that. Its just that characters like Thor and Superman have class 100 strength and durability and SPEED.

I don't agree. I think thats being blantantly unfair, now you're just blatantly ignoring millions of showings that indicate this. Superman and Thor winning is one thing but arguing that he can't injure them is another.
However I might actually concede with Superman because guys like Thor and Hulk have shown vulnerability to sharp objects.

i'm not picking and choosing, and it's not an accurate comparison. to pierce anything you still need requisite force. why don't bricks punch each other to other countries? because they're strong enough to absorb most of the blow.

What? Complete and total lies.
Frank faked out Wolverine into thinking he killed him. He was partially saved by wearing protection.
And what is this crap about Logan not being a mutant at the time during Proteus? He's always been a mutant. He wouldn't have been sought out by Professor X in the beginning if he wasn't. His claws were shown to be part of him and not bionic early in Claremont & Cockrum's run, which was a couple years before John Byrne came on the title (shown in the issues that led to the first appearance of Phoenix.) And his time in Japan had already been established - he just hadn't told anyone specifics about how long (hadn't even reveled his name as Logan yet.)
And I thought a mentally unstable Wolverine was even more dangerous to fight - guess not.

No it not science. Person thats weight 600 pounds no matter how strong body would go flying from 100 tonner shot. No amount of strength would stop it, the weight of the hit is thousands of times hard then the weight of the object being it.

no no no no no. it's about energy, and the transferance of energy. if you are durable enough, regardless of your weight, you can absorb a portion of the blow. it's about energy transferrance and dissipation. it's why when superman blocked a punch from doomsday, every window within two or three blocks shattered, and a crater was created, but he didn't move. why? because his durability was sufficient to absorb and redirect the energy of the punch. that's science.

He using skill thats a misconception that made clear in several issues. He attacking with pin point accuracy which is why he not killing everyone he hits even though it seems like wild slashing he actaully expertly aiming for flesh wounds.
He even does it with his punches, he holds back a lot, actaully he normally is only tapping normal people when he punches, he stated few times that if he used anywere near his real strength he crush people skull killing them.
His claws are super sharp, it part of his character. He can't take down thor in a slash or two, that was made evident in there last fight. He could hurt thor, but thor durability protected him greatly. Herc on the other had not so sure, he not as powerful or as good as thor. He always been second rate next to him. Herc when they fought seem to believe Logan could do some major damage with his claws.

dude it not science though. Your applying real world science to one and not the other. Your strength would not matter at all if you weight thousands of tiems less then the force hitting you. Wolverine claws are so sharp that the force require to pierce and object is almost none exsistent.
here another one how does namor fly? How does colossus move, he solid metal? how does iceman turn from solid ive to flesh? how does emma move is she made of diamonds? How do almost any energy weilder shot blasts with out flying bakc wards or ripping apart there body.
and yet he done this so many times, it absurd.....you cant simply ignore this........it been part of his character for decades.......(still think you clearly dislike him)
Not a fan at all.

I agree Batman for example. However I think Wolverines done it far too many times.

Yeah but thats what it looks like. Hes not going to spout stab of the sleeping crane or some shit like that is he, but due to his training we can assume skill is used.

i don't mind him cutting someone. with the nature of his powers, that should be a given, but people arguing that he can cut deep enough with only 2 ton strength to put people like hercules, or thor down with a slash or two is just flat out ridiculous imo.
Thats seems pretty reasonable to me.
