Wow. That wasn't "plain bullets."

The fact that you think that a Wolverine with a much, MUCH stronger healing factor than he had back then, had a healing factor that was operating at full capacity, and he still went down, in the same number of blows, to somebody who was fighting him bare handed, and even wasted time throwing him, rather than directing all of his attacks to his body's weak points, is ridiculous.
LOOK at the above scans one more time. Look at how much damage is done to Wolverine in his initial fight. Then look at what Mr. X did. It's not even close. Only bias can say otherwise.
I read the comic you putz. You need to look again at how much damage Wolverine actually takes, at the interludes and then try and factor in this healing factor you worship day and night.

Wolverine has hardly been injured at all. He was not in the car when he exploded, and his clothes did not catch fire. We can see that there are no bullet wounds and that his shirt hasn't even been ripped. So by the 9th scan, Wolverine has only taken a couple of bullet wounds to the torso. Mind you, this would do nothing to Batman, who can take machine-gun fire at point blank.
Now when he actually gets into the fight with Mr.X' henchmen, there's not that much damage being dished out either. Wolverine has also got a minute or so to heal whatever damage he took earlier on, and there's the interlude of him making his way up to the sarge. In the fight against those "top assassins" he takes one stab to the throat, a bullet or two in the back, some punches from Blok, and three kicks from those girls. This happens over the course of what? 10-15 minutes? You of any people should understand how much this is to Wolverine, how much it matters that he is given some recovery time. Two punches in rapid succession will naturally do a hell of a lot more damage to him, than one punch 20 second pause and another punch.
And do you realize that we've reached the point of counting punches? Nobody should have a hard time realizing that a kick from those girls, can hardly measure up against a kick from Mr.X. In fact, I would bet that a single kick from Mr.X does more damage than 10 kicks from that one girl.
