Yeah, all this post basically is "Wolverine is awesome and he can totally maim people".He cut King Thor's arm and caused him pain. He didn't render his arm useless and trying to attribute his lost arm from an hour long + fight with Hulk/Thing to Wolverine is misleading. Further more, per current depictions, a crazed, out for blood Wolverine only managed to make kitty scratches on Thor's Asgardian skin. He drew blood. That's it. Thor was in no where near terrible shape, much less dying. Eventually, Logan's damage would have added up, but he didn't display anything close to the damage you're trying to spin it as. Lol at trying to use Wolverine cutting up Ragnarok as evidence he'd do the same to Thor, who is far more durable and powerful than a bootleg cybernetic-clone. Gladiator's also less durable than Thor and Hulk, so big whoop. And he still wasn't in grievous shape. I guess I should congratulate Logan for stabbing Thanos who depowered himself with the IG?
So again, when Logan nearly kills someone of durability on par with Citizen Steel, which is imho, portrayed to be > Thor's (who Logan can't deal damage beyond fine cuts and slashes unless he's given time to wear down Thor and his Asgardian skin), I have no reason to believe that Wolverine might be able to possibly cut up Citizen Steel because it sounds right. And considering you entered this thread with hardly any knowledge of the character primarily being discussed at the time, you're in no position to critique anyone, least all of someone who knows who Citizen Steel is and what he's capable.
Wolverine didn't fail to significantly damage Thor because Thor is too durable, he failed to significantly injure Thor because Thor was conveniently protected by the plot shield that protects all major characters from being killed off. On the forum Citizen Steel doesn't have the luxury of being saved by prevalent comic book tropes like Thor does in an actual issue. Wolverine only landed glancing blows on Thor because if he connected cleanly in the right spot... Thor would die, and Marvel isn't going to kill off one of their intellectual properties every time two characters fight. The same thing happens every time Wolverine throws down with a character like Punisher. Punisher doesn't get "kitty scratches" on his chest because he is soooooooooooo durable that is all Wolverine can muster up, it's because if Wolverine connected cleanly Punisher would be dead. It's called PIS... and stuff like that is the reason why rules that clarify what is and what is not considered valid and applicable. If Wolverine can get full penetration on someone like Gladiator, then he can kill him, it just comes down to placement of the blows and on forum matches Wolverine isn't limited to glancing and nonlethal blows shoulder. I know you find it difficult to give Wolverine even a monocrum of respect but the guy has has cut Thanos, Gladiator, Magog, Count Nef, Elder Gods and virtually every top tier high durability character short of Classic Juggernaut.
You spend all day trying to rationalize why all Wolverine's feats don't matter instead of just excepting the way he has been portrayed virtually since his inception. Wolverine stabs Thanos, and you say "Well... Thanos probably depowered himself for that to happen!" Seriously? Based on what? Nothing in the story even suggests at that possibility, in reality he was more powerful than ever with the IG in is possession. I mean... just how difficult is it for you to give Wolverine his dues? At least your delusion that Hulk ripped off the arm we just happened to see Wolverine cut through a few panels earlier (because... as well all know super hero comics are known for the subtlety) has some basis in reality.
