Put it this way .....once upon a time (when comic sales were at one of their lowest ebbs) Wolverine's healing factor (and the supernatural power it has over minions of mindless fanboys) was almost totally responsible for supporting Marvel for a while.
Moreover, Wolverine's healing factor has been used ad infinitum by all sorts of fanboys (and a couple fanboy psychos ....names withheld) as being some sort of combat panacea .....goodness, there is a certain luminary in KMC (who underwent a name change) who even used to claim that Wolverine could win against characters like WonderWoman, Thor and Superman.
Consequently, it HAS to be said that the greatest fanboy crutch in ALL OF COMICDOM is Wolverine's healing factor.
- A very close second is Wolverine's Adamantium claws
- A close third being Wolverine's 'berserker' rage
- A close fourth is Wolverine's 'Samurai training'
- A close fifth is Wolverine's 'enhanced strength and speed' (which according to some fanboys approaches that of freakin' Spiderman!!!!!!)
- A close sixth is Wolverine's reflexes (again claimed by several fanboys as not only being an analogue of Spiderman's spidey-sense, but actually BETTER !!!!!!!)
- A close seventh being Wolverine's experience (since he has a long life some fanboys claim he has such an amazing wealth of experience that he can come up with an answer to any given situation .....making him like Nick Fury, Batman and Reed Richards rolled into one).
- Eight is obviously Wolverine's pain resistance.
- Ninth is Wolverine's feral/animal senses (eg: an example of its usage is "LOLOLOL Wolbereen will heeeer the hartbeeeet and smeeelll tha purson a luung deestance aweey LOLOLOLOL Woulbereen weens LOLO'😉
- And the tenth spot also goes to Wolverine since his being Wolverine means he can win ANY fight (even against top-tiers like Thor and Superman).
THUS, Wolverine not only takes the top spot, but HE ACTUALLY TAKES THE TOP TEN SPOTS OF FANBOYISM IN COMICS!
Wolverine, once again, wins (or should I say Wolbereen weeens).
