Well now I'm using it as an excuse to inform people more about Alpha Flight and how really badass they are.
What we have here is Wolverine (who is a popular character who is often written performing WAY above his capabilities to appease his fan boys) against Alpha Flight ( A team that though it's characters have been created to the point that they should be one of the most powerful teams in the Marvel Universe, they are often written dumbed down or as jobbers and get little respect by or from the Marvel establishment).
Their feats and abilities have been displayed throughout this thread. I doubt very much, that if written in a manner consistant with his characters abilities, wolverine could not take Gaurdian, Shaman, Snowbird or Sasquatch on their own never mind adding Northstar, Aurora and Puck.
As for the comment that Alpha Flight writers also write wolverine to the point where he gets ridiculous, I agree, because those writers work for marvel and have to tow the company line.
I used to love wolverine, but the writers have let the fans dictate the caracter to the point that he is absolutely ridiculous. The only thing that is more ridiculous then Logan's character and the feats that the writer's pull out of their asses are the fanboys who worship him.
No way could wolvie take this team.
I agree. Any writer that makes it even plausable that wolverine could stand up to hulk should be fired. That is as equally ridiculous as the Sabertooth miniseries where he toe-to-toed it against Sasquatch.
You have two characters (wolverine and Sabertooth) so outclassed by their opponants it's just foolish, yet the writers try and make it work for the fanboys.

You're just mad that the only Canadian super team got schooled by a single over glorified weasel.
Actually that's not far from the truth. The fact that writers even think it's acceptable is pretty lame. Look at the power of each individual, they could easily stand up to any other team, but I honestly feel that marvel uses them just to job to others.

common leonidas.... that's one victory for every 5 times he's lost... with and without his team... 🙄
He's beaten Wolverine twice. How many times has he individually beaten him one on one?

See that was horribly written, wooden spikes impaling Sasquatch? what? he has withstood armor-piercing machine gun fire
