Marvel kept writing him more and more powerful the more

This is not a hard concept to grasp.
Teenage Spider-man was not in the 10 range...

In the original Marvel Universe Handbook in 1983,
it clearly stated that Wolverine could lift over 500 pounds.
Now they say he can lift 800 pounds.
The fanboys argue that he can lift 1 or 2 tons.
Now Wolverine gets knocked across the room by Daredevil in one book,
then takes 2 from Namor without falling in another book, same month.
Is this how you want them to write your favorite character?
Is this what you call consistency?
Get the picture?

I already said that Wolverine has two different powerlevels (in this tread even) one for fighting high level bricks and one for fighting street level heroes. Is powerlevel isn't all over the place... it is in one of two places
#021 Xavier Protocol Zero Two One
Wolverine
Key sequence: Warren Worthington, Scott Summers, Jean Grey Summers
“Since the loss of his adamantium, Wolverine has become both more and less of a threat. He is divested of his unbreakable skeleton - but his senses and his mutant healing factor have been increased to incredible levels. What would have been a lethal wound to Wolverine three years ago would now be a momentary annoyance. Any assault on Wolverine, in the event of his sanity breaking, would have to be long-range and decisive. His head would have to be severed, and removed utterly from the vicinity of his body to prevent swift flesh and nerve regrowth.“
i think they meant before he got his adamantium back. i think now his healing factor isnt this strong

Cry me a river, the same things you're saying is happening to Wolverine is happening to other characters as well.
Iceman has gotten insanely powerful, as has Magneto.
And even dear old Spiderman. In fact his strength upgrade is more than Wolverine's was.
5 tons > 300 pounds.
You want consistency? Go buy a math book.
Consistency has never existed in comics.

hes got a point there but explaniations are allways nice

Yes it has, you monster...
Lets see this one transforms into a creature that gets stronger the madder he gets. . .
This one bursts into flame and can fly and shoot flame.
This one turned into a superstrong rock creature.
This one can turn invisible and project force feilds
This one can stretch like crazy
This one seems to have gotten some wierd radar sense
Now then, lets move onto genetic mutation known as the X-Gene. . .
This one seems to be able to manipulate metal. . .
This one seems to be a telepath . . .
Get the point?

Is that really inconsistency, though?
Originally posted by Cosmic CubeThe fantastic four were hit by the same patch of radiation. . .
Different wavelengths of radiation maybe?
Originally posted by Cosmic CubeThere could probably be a range as to what it could produce but nothing as wild as everything from Magnetic control to telepathy to super strength . . etc. . .
Different genotypes coupled with the same X gene could produce near limitless possibilities. Inconsistency is present, but consistency is not totally absent.
