Wolverine is a very flawed but human character, but that's the whole point. He's not Superman. He's not even Batman. Wolverine is a damaged person who grew into the best person he could possibly be despite his anger, resentment, anxiety, loss, and pain. That's what makes him such an interesting character.
His Healing Factor may be physical, but it's also symbolic of his emotional healing factor. That no matter how much pain, death, or misery comes his way he keeps going...although not without his scars.
I'll concede to your first point about alcohol induced black outs.
I think Kim Jong-un comparison is a bit of an exaggeration but I see what you mean. But none of that will prevent 6 of his huge ass security guards from restraining me or just sitting on top me once they realize I'm bullet resistant. I can't bench press that much. Maybe if I can come up with some sort of plan but definitely not head on.

If I get his strength then yeah.
I'll have you know that I've went through an epilation procedure not once but twice. And while I realize that it makes me a f@g, I LAUGH at pain.

I don't know why some of you are going on about being right and winning. Rob and Impediment were in on this gag because I PMed them. Silent and Rao PMed me and figured I changed the post. I highly doubt anybody thought Quan made the post, but simply played along just for the lulz.
I mean, if we're meant to do a better job than Wolverine, then we should at least get his full powerset (if not experience also), not just claws and healing (with none of its side-effects), right?
Epilation? What are you, a metrosexual Russian? Dragons are more real than you.
Well you actually have a good point Dareangel, it's actually more of a contrast or irony than it is a similarity. I mean to say that Wolverine has survived through losses that most people wouldn't, but you are correct: He has never developed a true pattern of emotional healing, he seems to take one step forward and twenty steps back.
I do like the irony though. His physical wounds heal without a scar. He is nearly the perfect physical specimen, yet on the inside he's a mess. But that's what makes him Wolverine. I say if you want perfect people, or close to it, read Superman
I love Superman, but I prefer my characters dark and flawed like Wolverine or Batman.
I've thought about this before. He'd likely be a political assassin; I think in real life Wolverine would likely be captured and tortured for eternity.
