And we all know Cassandra is above Elektra

Well I respectfully disagree. Look at opponents when he isn't blood lusted. Take Black Panther for instance.This is just one example I could use other examples if you like. But for arguments sake lets say Wolverine is just as fast as Cassandra, which I disagree with. Typically he doesn't always block or evade. Generally speaking he charges in or bull rushes opponents and when he does so skilled opponents have generally taken advantage of that. Why would this time be any different.
Oh for ****'s sake.... K.... Hudlin, and Ennis.... Even if that was all that I had to say in response to these posts it would be enough to discredit half of your "proof" right off the bat. Why's that? Simple.
Ennis is a hack writer when it comes to Marvel who has openly admitted multiple times that he tends to "take the piss" with superheroes because finds them "silly" so right there that should tell you how well he's going to portray them. That arc? Yeah according to that arc Spiderman and Daredevil's extra sensory don't account for shit, neither do Wolverine's enhanced senses. Spiderman's spidersense can be tricked by something that's essentially a toy and isn't a threat. Daredevil's limbs are not strong enough to support an extra 200 pounds. And, while Wolverine can walk away from being punched across state lines by Hulk, hitting a still body of water from miles away, being fine and crawling away after being blown up by a rocket launcher reducing him to a skeleton from chest to knees, and (earlier) being completely uneffected by a shotgun blast point blank to his face that reduced it to an Adamantium skull with eyes........ He still goes down to a throat chop..... IN THE SAME ARC.... because that makes sense right?
NO. IT. DOESN'T. 😐

Ennis couldn't even consistently portray Wolverine how HE thought Wolverine should be portrayed. Nevermind the fact that while Daredevil was taxed to beat Punisher in h2h Ennis had Punisher readily admit that Wolverine would beat the breaks off him in h2h specifically because he could take anything Punisher dished out and keep coming.... But a throat chop..... yeah.... ❌
THEN of course you have the context Srank discussed with Wolverine actively fighting both Spidey and DD at the same time essentially, AND of course DD's track record against Wolverine getting full nelsoned in 3 panels after trying to sneak attack Logan, or being put in a defensive battle against a Wolverine missing half of his soul and actively fighting mind control, as well as being straight up killed in an alternate universe, or cut across the midsection in one of their first encounters.... That example is as far from Wolverine's typical representation as you could get.
ELEKTRA: ELEKTRA?!?!?! I have no idea why you're even attempting to compare Cass to Elektra. Elektra has straight up merced high class superhumans. She's got mystical abilities that put her so far outside simple hand to hand skill it isn't even funny. She thinks techniques that strain Shang Chi are "simple". She's made light work of Daredevil, a character whom you've just also said is of Cass' calibur. If you think Elektra is on Cass' level then you need to look at her damned respect thread, they are worlds apart and Elektra is better in every way. Then of course there's again, the CONTEXT of basically blindsiding a preoccupied Wolverine from behind, who was being mindcontrolled missing half of his soul, and just healed from being hamburger meat just a while before. And once more you are clearly not familiar with her track record against Wolverine, because while she might be able to hold him for a bit, she can't beat out his healing factor and has indeed lost to him while being amped before.
Then there's Black Panther:....
And Hudlin.......
Hudlin is a semi-racist (or at the least VERY bias) black "activist" who wrote house part movies, and was the former president for the BET. He's also the writer responsible for a number of other ridiculous bull that somehow slipped past the Marvel editorial staff such as
Black Panther> Captain America
Dr. Doom = Racist
Black Panther> Sabretooth (HoM)
Wakanda tech>Latveria tech
But let's ignore that because Panther surprised Wolverine with his speed in CoC once.... Even though he was losing the fight and Wolverine had him dead to rights... 😐
See... I would be content to say that it might be a matchup issue if it wasn't for the fact that Wolverine has been "too fast" for legitimate superhumans. He's been "too fast" for Psylocke trying to mind read him, too fast for a Brood alien using Professor X's powers, too fast for vampires, he's been literally too fast for US the audience to see what he's doing when he's running around at invisible levels cutting hands and arms off assailants...... and aside from all this kind of stuff..... He's so damned fast that he's made Spiderman question his speed, memic him BECAUSE of his speed, and comment about his speed multiple times not to mention that Wolverine was "too fast" for Spiderman to stop him from killing multitudes of attackers.
You seem to think Wolverine has an issue fighting high tier MA's on a regular basis?
He doesn't.
He's Pwned Shang Chi in 3 panels, Daredevil in 3 panels, Iron Fist in 2 pages, Bucky in one move, beat up Silver Samurai while holding back, Shatterstar in 3 panels THREE times and has CRAZY stupid feats like fighting a clone of himself and the angel of death at the same time, disarming Ogun in 2 panels, and putting Junzo in a defensive battle when Junzo was no selling Iron Fist and Luke Cage. I COULD go on but I really shouldn't have to.
Wolverine is not on Cass' level of skill.. He's head and shoulders above it.
Wolverine is not on Cass' level of speed... he's in another category alltogher...
Now go read some Marvel Comics... 😐
