At the risk of being called a "nutswinger" I agree this is a damn fine thread.
But, in examples given where Wolvie is swinging those two ninjas, and the one where he dodges all the gun fire. I would say those examples are actually things that "peak humans" are capable of. I'd cite Punisher and Batman as my prime examples. I think most people underestimate what "peak human" is because they assume that that term somehow makes it all real and not a comic anymore.
only prob with a thread like this is that for all these great things you've shown, i or someone else could show scenes that would call int question the . . . consistent veracity of these accomplishments.
which is more out of charater - thing 'bonking' wolvie and ko'ing him, guardian, in an alpha flight battle whooping wolvie and ko'ing him, his recent beating by the wrecker, or wolvie shrugging off colossus's punches? anybody can show a bunch of scans showing the great moments a character has. but then does that make all his POOR showings CIS/PIS? why are the poor showings CIS but not the great ones? it's all about the most consistent version of the character. it's why i hate examples that show extremes of 'good' showing s or 'bad' showings.
But this is similar to saying Batman can take punches from Superman and Wonderwoman and Darkseid, knocking out Metron, pretty much singly handedly defeating the X Men in a few panels, and killing Spawn. Not to mention pretty much every other hero and villain ever created, in or outside of his own universe.
However-- You showed some scans of people MENTIONING his fighting ability, other martial artists show their ability in every fight. Most I usually see Wolverine do in combat, is simply charge forward and cut whatever it is in his way without regard. I'm sure ninjas would be impressed with my fighting style too if I could punch through trees and chop through anything and shrug off blows from Gladiator.... regardless if I could actually fight or not.

Usually when it takes awhile to heal there isa circumstance. Shingen had saturated Logan's body with poison at the time which inhibited the effeciency of his Healing Factor.
You can find plenty of poor showings for any character.

yeah keep sonnin them man you got my respect
*waits for someone to disregard everything posted here and call it PIS/CIS/bad writing/fanboyism what-the-fucc-ever.... its sad 🙁*
My god, I love how all the wolvie boys gather on here, and cluster**** everyone to sleep.
I think that there's about 5, let me count again...
Originally posted by DigiMark007That's something we say alot. It's suprising how often it's revealed that the people doing the accusing of being fanboys admit to not reading the comics that the "fanboys" do.
Good pics jinzin...regardless of whether or not I agree with some of it, there's a lot to be said for backing up your claims. If we had more of it, the "fanboyism" that people are always being accused of would lessen dramatically.
Which leads me to ask, am I a fanboy for knowing more about the character and supporting him in things he has done before?
I mean if I were to argue spiderman being able to lift 15 tons to a group that hadn't read the issues during and after he got an upgrade, would that group call me a fanboy of spiderman for saying that he can do more than he "can"?
