The verb as it is being used still has connotations of a swift and decisive action. The context that we are looking at is in reference to combat. To say that Wolverine levels armies is disingenuous.

Still swift and decisive - imo I'm in no way "levelling a building" with a hammer and chisel even if I do manage to eventually tear it down.

Did I say denotations, I said connotations? Besides I was too lazy to find an actual legit dictionary so I was using Answers.com and Dictionary.com and both have this as one of their definitions: "To knock down with or as if with a blow."
