How many non-ENNIS fights have they had? Who's "everybody" again?

Well again I dont know what to say. Its just another example if you disagree with something on panel because you dont like it. Stu said:1. They shut him down.
2. Hes also a genuis. Thats the whole bloody point of being a genuis in comic books you're able to do the impossible.
What am I disagreeing with that was on-panel? All Clarke said was that he'd been gathering anything he could get his hands on since being pursued by G.W. Bridge and SHIELD. It doesn't say anywhere when he'd first acquired the armory and weapons within it. His being a genius does not negate the fact that he only had four days, while tending to badly-beaten Frank. Too much to do, too little time. Besides, he goes on to mention in Punisher War Journal #12 he's had workshops/armories all over the city. That only strengthens my argument for his having access to the SHIELD armory before the Punisher came crashing through his skylight.

You do realise that if you want a book from the library you may not be able to get it because somebody else is using it? There are alot of X-men and somebody else could be using the jets even if he wanted to use it. Thats not the case with Punisher.
Libraries usually have several copies of different books. What are the odds all copies of the same book are going to be checked out? It happens, sure, when a class assigns a report on a specific subject. In this case, the Blackbirds would be the books, the X-teams the class, and a major catastrophe requiring the efforts of all 3 X-Men teams would be the report. Honestly, when was the last time that happened? And for that matter, when was the last time they used all 3 Blackbirds at once? They usually travel in one...
And somebody else could be using the last remaining Blackbird? So what was all that crap you were saying about them not for personal use and asking permission and such?

Im saying it does not have to be a last resort but it can be a better option. No I dont see him using a pizza instead of a gun but theres nothing wrong him using a suit if he thinks it can get the job done.1. He doesnt always face people like Mung and Rhino.
2. Hes only just met Stu, im pretty sure that Microchip gave him tech thats hes never used before didnt stop him from using it.
It doesn't matter if his encounters with metahuman villains and aliens aren't as frequent as his campaigns against normal criminals. Your point is they get the job done better, faster, and with less risk to the Punisher, and he'll use whatever he can to make his job easier.... So why do we find Frank in his traditional uniform and not always in some kind of state-of-the-art armor? Why isn't he always armed with the Satan Claw or something just as advanced?
Because the Punisher utilizes what he knows best and feels most comfortable with, and that's conventional weaponry. It makes no difference if he's only known Stuart for a short while. They're partners working together. It's in their best interest to keep Castle armed to the teeth with hi-tech stuff, but clearly that isn't the case. Castle will only resort to using crap he's not familiar with if there's not much choice.

No? I thought I busted your balls rather well.
Did somebody else mention Wolverine's healing factor does not cancel out any pain? Did anyone else break down why the SHIELD weapons won't work on Logan the way they worked on Rhino the way I did? Anyone else bring up Wolverine using the Blackbird, or any weapons or technology belonging to the X-Men that he might have access to?
Perhaps.
Perhaps I didn't make a difference in this thread.... seeing as how Jinzin, Creshosk, and the others already had the debate won.

So...what you're telling me is that eventhough he currently gets taken, down by bullets thats all rubbish because Jean Grey said something about his tolerance for pain? I dont know what to say really, hes been shown on panel non-einnis having trouble with bullets. I hate to break it to you when somebody has feats you have to look at his overall career Wolverine has taken class 100 shots and been hurt by much less.... [B]but currently he gets dropped by bullets so what Jean Grey said doesnt mean a goddamn thing. [/B]
Dropped? Sure.
Stayed down? Nope.
That quote DOES indeed mean a God-damned thing or two. You keep running your mouth about Wolverine's healing factor being reduced. And it has. Thing is, that just means it takes longer for him to repair damage done to him and is no longer at instant regeneration levels. That desert scene involved more bullets than Castle can fire off by himself. They shot him from damned near all directions. They launched his ass off a cliff, and then left him to bake, dehydrate, and die in the scorching desert. He survived just fine, but it just took him longer to recover. Castle will be hard-pressed to do just as much damage before Wolverine guts him.
The healing factor allows him to take more damage and keep fighting, but it is not the be-all-end-all of Wolverine's overall durability--- his Adamantium skeleton and inhuman tolerance for pain should be getting the credit there. As a few others before me have already said, a reduced healing factor didn't really hinder Wolverine much in Origins.
Taking account into what I just explained about his durability and healing factor, and seeing as how he's been shown to withstand gunshots more often than not, and withstand punches of some of Marvel's strongest at a time when his healing factor wasn't really all that..... Castle. Is. Screwed.
