the guy (while his stories may have beeen interesting) had a notoriously ridiculous amount of contradictions in his own story archs and worse, had next to no character research when he wrote that story.
For instance, Wolverine's shown shot and plastered by multiple gunmen but a couple of stun guns takes him down.
Sabretooth admits that wolverine's superior to himself in fighting and tracking...
later sabretooth tracks the native when logan can't.. and then soundly whomps him in a fight. Which makes one question why he (sabes) even bothered bringing logan into the story.
Oh yeah here's why:
Sabretooth can't even see the native's movements the first time they fight eachother and she badly beats the crap out of him....
except that:
At the end of the arch he viciously kills her AFTER curbing wolverine into the ground.
And then we've got the fact that wolverine nonchalantly puts his admantium claws through Sabretooth's ADAMNTIUM skull...
wtf?
Oh that's right, rucka didn't even know sabretooth HAD admantium at the time he wrote this story...
even though it was stated in new x-men, x-men unlimited, Sabretooth; mary shelly overdrive, the weapon x series, and finally previously stated displayed and EMPHASISED in wolverine's own damned series for several entire story archs. 😬
I mean seriously.. Sabretooth's inability to toss that car off himself doesn't even stand out as one of the bad parts of his inconsistancies in his wolverine run.
On the other hand in Sabretooth: death hunt 2, Creed effortlessly and single handedly backhands a car that's speeding towards him, the force of the hit sends the car veering off to the side on two wheels.... but he can't lift a jeep?
In uncanny X-men 213, Creed effortlessly crushes a barbell into a metal deathball, he effortlessly uses himself like an inhuman battering ram smashing his way through the mansion and he uppercuts logan 3 friggin stories into the air, but he can't budge a jeep?
In Sabretooth/Mystique part 4 sabes uses one hand to pick up and hold up a fairly large and thick security bay door, but he can't move a jeep?
In Sabretooth: Death Hunt 1, he uses one nonchalant back hand to send a dozen ninjas airborn by 15 to 20 feet but he can't budge a jeep?
In mary shelly overdrive 1 creed tears up a huge generator out of the rooftop of an apartment building (easily the size of a jeep if not bigger) and uses it to bat away two supersoldiers....but he can't lift a jeep?
Meh, i think you understand where I'm getting at....
you want your answer... look no further than the man who wrote it.
