Logan didn't deny the fact, there's more proof to show he was meaning to kill or seriously harm than not.
He didn'it hit Namor in the center of his chest.
You don't have to think Wolverine's infalable to think that him missing a vital area as large, obvious, and vulnerable as the heart would be horrible character representation if that's what was being displayed. From all appearances, it would seem that Wolverine didn't even hit Namor in the peck, rather below it. Coming from a guy with the fighting ability, experience, and sheer knowledge of the human anatomy that Wolverine has, a guy who can pinpoint his claw through the middle of a flipped coin, the pin of an airborn handgrenade, the berral of a gun a millesecond after it's fired, and can nail three bullseyes with a dart without looking, simply missing the heart? It becomes a very.. VERY tough pill to swallow.
I however, don't think that Wolverine's intention was to do Namor "serious harm"... If it was, why then did he not run through Namor's face at the beginning when he unsheathed his claws?
He certainly was fast enough to do so, Namor hadn't even raised a suitable defense yet. If his intention became to seriously do Namor damage after being punched to the rooftop and he did... erm.. miss, why then did his follow-up punch remain with claws sheathed?
It's far more reasonable to assume that he simply had no intention to hurt Namor, and far more likely that he WAS just trying to get Namor to leave asap as he stated before the fight got started. 😬
