My opinion exactly!!! But this forum is about discussion, debate, assumptions and speculations, backed up by released comic issues and logic...at least that's what i thought!
And i'm NOT about discrediting ANY character...their writers perhaps but not the character itself. Wolverine is an interesting, multidimensional and cool character...ESPECIALLY written without exaggerations (yes, that happens from time to time).

Comics are about accepting and loving things that defy physics...when it comes to powers! But apart from the super powers and super sciences the characters are usually bound to normal physics...so Angel can fly in an atmosphere, because it's his power, but in space he can't, because his power is described to use aerodynamics (normal physics).
Cyclops can shoot beams out of his eyes, because it's his power, but in all other aspects he is bound to normal laws of nature etc...
Letting characters do "super-things" that are beyond their described super powers is comic literature anarchy, makes characters "specialties" more arbitrary and less special and lessens the quality of the fiction...imo, of course!
