Firstly, when a bomb or other explosive device goes off a good deal of debris is scattered in multiple directions and there is usually a sizable creator. The reason for this is that there is a release of concussive energy along with the heat at the time of detonation. You are mistaken when you say that the only component of an explosion is heat.Again explosive concussive energy is quite different from simple blunt force trauma. For example if you were to step on a land mind your injuries would include far more than burns or bruises. The flesh would be torn from your foot and leg (at the very least) soon to be followed by fragments of bone.
As for your contention that Wolverine's healing factor would somehow prevent Cyke's optic blast from having a similar effect on his body as our land mind example did on our hapless victim, I just can not see how that would be possible. That would mean that his healing factor could completely heal the damage from the explosion in the fraction of a second that the explosion is taking place. While Wolverine's healing factor is impressive, I do not think it can be extrapolated to be that powerful.
I would think that even with Wolverine's HF ( re-generating factor ) that an optic blast should do at least SOME damage to Wolverine's skin.
Wolverine must have been born with or developed superhuman speed.The adamantium on his bones is very heavy.It would slow down a "peak human's" speed and reflexes...( I would think ).
He must have super strengh as well. ( I can't drive a 4" nail all the way into a 2x4 by just using my hand....I would need a hammer )
I think Wolverine would win.
