comparative speed; which objectively speaking wasn’t affected by the mind control in other subjects of the same arc:

I used to enjoy the character when he first came out. But I will admit that I haven't voluntarily paid much attention to him. He'll always be one of the characters that I think could have been so much more than he is. But look how popular he is...so I guess my opinion means sh*t.

Alot of people liked the hairy runt better when they didn't understand the character.
even srank doesn't like his recent characterizations in origins
logan from the past 2 decades is almost a different character than he is nowadays

srank just didn't like how he was portrayed in Origins, not how he is shown as a whole.

yes becuases it makes Logan to be a criminal. Thats why and the fact it just sucks story wises for the most part.
nothing to do with the character abilities.

Originally posted by Battlehammerso you're actually gonna sit there and tell me that logan hasn't been changed dramatically the past decade? unbelievableNo he not............which is not surprizing coming from a man who does not read wolverine.
the logan of the past would not have survived a nuke blast, or falling into molten steel and walking away
the logan of the past was not an agent of god and did not battle angels to come back to life
etc etc

You know, that those things would have killed him?

Not that I agree with Starscream, but do you really believe that is a valid question to ask?Do you have proof that a galaxy destroying blast could kill Wolverine?
He claimed that wolverine was changed, he was challenged, he cited examples, now those examples are challenged.
Its a pretty simple process.
In my oppinion we have had some of the best Wolverine stories EVER in the past two years.
Jason Arron's run? Amazing.
Jason Arron's fill in issue Wolverine v3 51? Amazing.
BKV's three issue Logan? Amazing.
Stuart Moore's Logan and Cub fill in issue Wolverine v3 41? Amazing.
Wolverine v3 Annual 01? Amazing (the story at least - people don't like the molten metal feat though)
Wolverine First Class has been alot of Classic Uncanny X-Men fun.
Old Man Logan has a lot of potential... I think the silliness will overpower the dire and somber mode the story should have, but I'd love to be proven wrong.
Now Origins is just awful and Wolverine's main book has been for awhile but its picking up, but almost all of Wolverine's recent one shots have had at least one good story in them. You know what I thought the last genuinly good (not fun and action pacted but good) Wolverine arch was before Jason Arron's? Warren Ellis' Not Dead Yet... and that was 10 years ago!!! In spite of Wolverine Origins (which is one of the worst pieces of garabage ever to run through a printing press), Wolverine has never, NEVER, been in this good of shape. Some of his stories in the last few years have been fantastic.

A pretty simple erroneous process.
Answer my question, do you have proof that a galaxy destroying blast could kill Wolverine?
