Well his Bio does say that he's something something diease. . .I wonder why they didn't test introducing some of Wolverine's blood to the legacy virus . . . course then again . . .
Re: Shouldn't wolverine's punches kill or seriouly hurt many of the people he fights?
A normal person with proper training can dish out a lethal punch, with relative ease. It's not really about how hard you hit, it's the where that counts.
Wolvie must know all about that, and his extra features like adamantium coated bones and strength included, he must he holding down big time when fighting 'normal' adversaries. Do keep in mind that he is a comic-hero, and his fights have to look spectacular first of all, while avoiding to portrait him as a mass-murderer. Irregardless of his ability to kill in a blink,letting him punch every crook he faces to death will make him less popular, thus reducing the sales of comics.
So he pulls out a lot of fancy moves, messes baddies up bad but keeps the bodycount relatively low.
Have to doubt your calculations by the way. Not even Mike Reeves breaks a 2 feet thick block of solid concrete. He can be able to break a pile of thinner slabs, together measuring 2 feet. And most likely with small supports between then, leaving a few millimeters of clearance between each plate.
So no way Wolv can break 10 feet of it in a single blow. It takes a tankcannon to put a hole in a wall that thick. Much respect to logan's fists, but they ain't packing that power.
But you do see my point right.
That if physics can apply to other superheroes like superman when he does something, or hulk, or spiderman, why shouldn't it apply to wolverine in regard to him being able to do major damage with just a punch.
According to physics he should, and about his skelton wieght, if you didn't weight that much to begin with, then you had admantium added to your weight, that only added 100 pounds(evenly disstributed), the wieght being distributed throughout your body would make it as though it only weighed 25-50 pounds more rather than 100 lbs.
Then add to that the fact that the human body heals stronger than brfore, if only slightly(it scientifically documented/experimented/proven),
Then add to that that logan is a mutant, one with healing several hundredx that of a normal human, then he has inhanced reflexes and peakhuman strength= the(evenly distributed) weight of his skeleton shouldn't even slow him down as much as having a 50 lbs weight vest on would slow batman down.
If it did slow him down(it probably doesn't), given how fast he is, that means he'd be faster without it.
Point is, that the added weight of his adamantium skeleton would be like almost no added weight to him at all.
How else do you explain how he moves, his body is adjusted to it hundreds of times over, probably thousands(gievn the healing factor).
If you can't except this because you just don't like him then I'm sorry, but if you think about it, it makes as much sense as superman being superfast/superstrong/super everything cause he is "super".
"Super"-man is super, afterall.
So you read my post til you get what I'm trying to say about wolverine.
(Oh and many of the laws of science,physics,distribution,and gravity do apply to many of the aspects of comics. the basic ones. This is just overlooked many times by some of the stupid ones that don't like a building not caving in under its own weight when lifted by someone superstrong. Most others do apply though, its hit and miss if you can catch them. The one about logan should though.)
Superman is completely different. I've been reading this thing from the beginning, and I wasn't planning on joining in, but I decided to. I'm a Wolvie fan, a big one. But I really don't think Logan can do as much damage as you credit him. I agree with Pandemoniac, it's not how hard you hit, it's where you hit. I, having learned a small amount of Jeet Kune Do, know this for a fact. I will agree slightly on the adamantium skeleton thing. If evenly distributed, it won't be a big problem. But, as for Superman, there's more to him being superfast, superstrong, and 'super everything' as you say, than being just 'super'. He comes from another planet. It's complicated, I'm not too big one Supes information, maybe a Superman buff could help me out here. But I believe it's because the sun on his planet was bigger than ours, thus their gravity was increased. So when he came to our planet, with our small yellow sun, it was like one of us on pluto or something, it you see what I'm saying. His feats of strength and speed may seem 'super' to us, but to him they're nothing, because he's used to more. Once again, I dunno for certain, but I think that's the reason..
