nerve points will work but it will take a ton of em to down logan...because of his healing factor the bloodflow that slows down, and the nerves that become immobile by such blows are only effected shortly if at all.....for instance, shingin was bashing the crap out of nerve points and nerve clusters in order to slow wolverine down enough to knock him out and even then wolverine was injected with enough poision to kill any normal human being, AND EVEN THEN he was doing it with a wooden sword!.....so while midnighter COULD down him with pressure points it would take a very very long time to do it...to effectively slow down the healing factor....it's much more likely that wolverine would gut him before that happened...thing is like everyone said wolverine's an unpredictable fighter at times....for instance: Mr. X he could literally read one's mind to anticipate what his opponent's next move would be before they made it....when using this technique nobody could touch him....he humiliated taskmaser with ease....but when he pissed off wolvie and wolverine went into a rage, there was nothing he could do to defend himself....the same exact thing could very well happen to midnighter....there's no contingency plans for a warrior that unpredictable...
point taken....
the problem with midnighter vs. wolverine is that wolverine isn't a character that can be taken at face value..he's small and looks old but he's incredibly strong and fast.... he looks like a human but he's got a superb healing factor... he wears no armor on the outside, but he has the harderst armor in the world on the inside....he's completely unarmed, yet he houses six of the sharpest most deadly weapons in the mu.....
assuming midnighter knows all about these factors....and assuming wolverine keeps his cool...I want to say midnighter will most likely win....(mind you, I'm not entirly sure how...projectiles won't work too well and midnighter will only hold up to logan in h2h for so long since logan can afford to make numerous mistakes while midnighter can't....but i'm sure he can think of a 100 other ways to take it to logan that I can't.)
if he doesn't he'll be surprised by one of these hidden factors and it will lead to his demise..
if wolverine DID get pissed off for some reason..than he'd right out run through midnighter...
Midnighter is quite fast...and apparently, he can see what abilities his enemies have...
And in this pic, he is breaking swords by hitting them with his bare hands, so he is also quite strong...
So, I think he is at least stronger and faster then Wolverine...more intelligent too.
I think he can take it. But he needs to make it quick.
is midnighter homosexual? I'm just curious.....
but anyways...okay he can see logans powers then...now I would say it comes down to berserker rage or not..if wolvie's got it...midnighter goes down...if wolvie don't.....midnighter's okay and will probably win this.....if midnighter fights the battle in his head a million times and a berserker logan is in half of those fights...he runs away....like i said though midnighter better stay away from logan in h2h...

For all we know the Doctor broke those swords with his magic, the picture isn't very conclussive. Did he hit the swords? Did he block the swords and the broke off of him? His arms aren't even with in range of the swords and from the picture it looks like they are getting thrown back.
The Midnighter hasn't done much of anything. He beat up a guard who had superhuman strength, he caught and arrow and he once side stepped a bullet. He doesn't have the stats to hang around with Logan. Strenght? Don't make me laugh! He doesn't have a single strength feat. He makes mush out of human skulls with his club but I would imagine you don't even need to be in the one ton area to do that.
Regis beat the Midnighter down, so Wolverine will be landing hits on him and having an extra heart didn't stop him from almost dieing when Seth ripped it out (he would have died if it wasn't for the Doctor). The Midnighter can't when this fight.

Anyways, having had reason to reread a lot of Authority, I've changed my mind. Midnighter is way more vicious than people think. Add that, plus his speed and strength, and after he finds out jsut cutting Wolvering up isn't working, I be we'll see him tearing out whole organs. Once Wolvering has lost a liver, a lung or two, his kidneys, etc. even Wolvie's healing factor won't help him. Besides, it's entirely possible he could just tear Wolverin'es head off, since his spinal cord and neck muscles aren't unbreakable.
I'll vote MN'er. Referring to the pic posted recently, the Doctor even makes a comment later on the page about needing to clean his pants (jokingly) before he can magic them. MN'er breaks those swords, and is stronger than Wolverine.
He's faster too, and is often drawn multiple times in the same panel to demonstrate how fast he's moving (they do a similar technique with Spider-man a lot). Add these things to his ability to analyze a fight numerous different ways and it equals a win for MN'er (and yes, he has an implant that allows him to see upgrades and such...he would know Wolverine could heal and has a metal skeleton...he wouldn't be able to know Wolvie's fighting ability, but would be able to see that Wolvie is in great physical condition). Eventually MN'er would hurt Logan enough to be able to kill him (the healing isn't instantaneous). Logan might get lucky every now and then, but 9/10 MN'er wins.

I dont every recall seeing the Midnighter drawn more then once in the same frame and I own almost every issue of the Authority (Including the seceret history, Kev, and Stormwatch apperances). Care to give me an issue number?
Midnighter would never hit Wolverine hard enough to kill him. Wolverine's healing factor heals bullet woundes before the bullet exits his body and almost 90% of the people Wolverine has fought with are leagues stronger then Midnighter.
Edit:... I found one example Authority v2 #9
