Jinzin..what the hell are ya talking about? SM has always been portrayed as being in the 10-20 ton range. In earlier issues, written by none other than "Stan the Man" Lee, he's demonstrated feats of strength which greatly exceed even this range.(ie building structures, large cars, etc)
Stan generally pitted SM against characters much more powerful than himself, in fact if we were to go strictly by many earlier examples of the character, I would say that the original version of the wallcrawler would dispatch of the Trio much more effectively than the current version.
wolverine jumps up 30 feet...maybe...and it's not incomprehensible to understand how or why...especially in a comic book forum...
No one really cares about what examples you use, as long as they support some sort of logical/consistent argument, and an explanation is given supporting why the example should be considered.
The example you've given above is not consistent with any of the physical attributes that have been ascribed to Wolverine by Marvel, and you have not given any logical argument to support it, other than the typical "Well it happened.."
This is the typical type of argument you use while you debate, and as it has been pointed out to you numerous times, this type of rationale is foolish, seeing as how it can be applied to any type of argument presented in this forum.
(ie Spider Man was rejected by death, therefore he can not die..it happened right?!!)
no one said wolverine was getting out of webbing without claws so i don't know what the **** you're talkin about here.....
You've provided little explanation as to how Wolverine will free himself from the webbing when his arms are webbed up to something. You know as well as I do that has been the argument all along.
It's been demonstrated countless times in comics, and stated in Marvel handbooks that the webbing is difficult for CL100 characters to break without sufficient leverage, so how in the hell will Wolverine be able to free himself from it..or Cap and DD for that matter?
did you know that the guy who created spiderman put him up against a multitude of street level speed characters...and had him lose to very nonthreatening oponents in h2h....old decrepid vulture for one.....explain how he can suddenly fight hulk...that doesn't make sense according to your beliefs.
Do you know what a plot device is? I'm not trying to be sarcastic, but I'm really starting to wonder. Heroes in comic books are usually shown having difficulty with their opponents, regardless of the opponents physical attributes. Sometimes a character is shown to defeat an opponent much stronger/more powerful than themselves. Other times they are shown to get "owned" by an opponent who is much weaker. This is done by the writer, for the sake of keeping the storyline unpredictable/entertaining.
SM, Wolverine, Cap, DD..have all had less than stellar showings against weaker opponents in all of their respective comics, however, this still doesn't negate each characters predefined abilities/limitations, which is what many use to determine the outcomes of these "hypothetical battles."
Arguments that are inconsistent with a character and his/her abilities, are usually recognized as being derived from "plot devices" within a particular comic, and are usually excluded by a good debater when presenting an argument..
