Wolverine penetrating Gladiator -an invulnerable type character- that easily is stupid, in particular since he would have had to cut through bone. He should have trouble just piercing the skin, Thor held up better than this. And if Logan can cut through Gladiator, he shouldn't be able to just shrug it off like that without any consequences. I'm not sure why his durability was treated more in line with the Hulk instead of Superman.
Wolverine wrestling with the far stronger Gladiator in the air was perhaps the silliest thing in the battle. Shame we didn't get to see more of the Bill/Rulk battle, the two biggest powerhouses respectively.
Ronan came out looking great by the way, surprised by the love he's been getting.

I've decided that I'm going to wait for the trade of that arc. Hickman's pacing in that book can be maddeningly deliberate at times lol.
You do that, is pretty entertaining as far as character selection and plot.

So that settles it: Wonderman has better pierceing resistance than Gladiator and Thor 🙂

Pretty much in agreement. Having said that, it felt good to see a somewhat real fight as opposed to the splash panel bullshyte we got in the finale of F.I.
I think all in all they were portrayed accurately. Ronan and Glads would have no real qualms with going balls out on Earth, while Quasar and Bill would be somewhat hesitant.
Good stuff thus far though. I was about ready to give up on DnA, but looks like they haven't lost it too much.
PIS of the highest order, the God Blast would blow a hole in Galactus.

Maybe Gladiator, not sure about Thor. Would have to re-read the fight.
I do find it hilarious that in modern times, Thor has fared better against Wolverine's claws than the two biggest Superman clones (Gladiator and Count Nefaria). Too bad his speed was downplayed so much, but a necessary evil for there to be a fight.

They have been always decent with Rocket, but I agree, characterization there is much better than in the first Anni mini.
Got to love Ronan enjoying himself by punching earthlings with a justified reason -although he always thinks he's justified-.

At least Nefaria was energy zapped a minute before Logan arrived. Wonderman still has a clean record against Wolvie -last Supes clone standing-.

Yea, it's been so long since we've had good fights, I'll enjoy them regardless how the match ups go.
So do I. I just wish we could have seen more of the Rulk/Bill encounter. Bill putting down Stormbreaker and the two trading blows ala Thor/Hulk would have been a real treat.
Still confused as to why Gladiator's durability was handled so weirdly. Logan should be able to slash Gladiator with effort, but not stab.

It is kind of funny that Simon has held up the best so far. I know MM is in a corner somewhere stroking himself.
Did you have a chance to check out that fight with Hardball and Graviton a few months back? Classic slugfest between two pretty powerful guys. Phuckers triggered an earthquake that pretty much destroyed Vegas.
Yeah, and all the way thru at that. Strange.
One of those weird match up things my man lol. Logan has knock down drag out fights with most Hulk incarnations, yet Simon treats Logan like a mere annoyance everytime they fight.
In rpg terms Wolverine's claws are %100 armor pen. If he appears to have difficulty slashing someone (ie Thor) it is only because you are witnessing him landing glancing blows. If a character doesn't have true invulnerability (ie classic Juggernaut) or force fields, Wolverine can cut them up with minimal effort. Why this is still a matter of contention decades after he stabbed Thanos with no effort is mind boggling.
