I'm not so much talking about wolverine as I am characters in general.
In one comic we'll see character A have a three page slugfest with a streetlevel fighter. A few years later we will see character A have a 5 page or multi issue slugfest with a class 100 character. In another comic we'll see character A once again having difficulties with a just above street level character.
For example, I did not see, but I heard that wolverine had a multi page fight with Gladiator. To hang with someone so strong, so fast and so resilient wolverine has to be a top tier character. Then we see him fighting much less impressive characters who he should completely dominate (but doesn't) if he had the ability to hang with the likes of glads. You get what I mean.
I find with many characters that have been around for a while that inconsistencies really affect how I view that character. Characters like Wolverine, Spiderman, Hulk and others seem to vary their abilities (or conscious use of their abilities) so inconsistently that I find it all pretty much ridiculous.
Does anyone see what I am getting at?
