It's worth pointing out that, though it is not one of his official powers, or even something he is famous for, Wolverine DOES have many, many instances where he displays leaps that easily cover 15 feet or more.
Search the word "superleap" on the page this link takes you too:

1) Pyramids have interior rooms, so they can't be solid stone all the way through, as you seem to think.2) You don't follow the train of thought because you're not trying to accomplish the main objective, which is to have Wolverine intelligently make his way to safety. It is NOT, as someone earlier pointed out, to have Wolverine try to kill every last one of a thousand or more aliens. He fights only what he needs to in order to get out alive.
3) I'm guessing you imagine Wolverine does the stone-cutting and kicking I'm alluding to at a snail's pace. Most people, not knowing how fast and strong Wolverine is, hardly to mention how sharp those claws are, might assume the same thing. But Wolverine has performed actions of that sort so swiftly that even Angel could not match his speed. Observe:
As far as I can understand, you're just writing tangential gibberish to rationalize your continuing habit of posting/preserving single scans via KMC servers. My advice: get a photobucket account.
mmm
The link above is actually a URL, isn't it ...?
Well, no matter ... you guys know how to copy and paste web addresses well enough.
In the meantime, another option outside of slashing limbs and heads for Wolvy to take out any single alien. Note that Wolverine has apparently done stuff like this in the time it takes you to clap your hands together twice.

I wasn't assuming he's inside the pyramid.
I was actually assuming he was outside.
That's why I've been focusing on the strength, the speed, the leaping, the cutting and hurling of projectiles. Everything focused on a snowball, or slalom run or "any means necessary" method of getting Wolverine down from the apex of that pyramid to the base in a hurry and running for safety.

Originally posted by bluewaterriderWolverine cutting a stone slab to kick onto a xenomorph is a complete waste of time and effort. He might as well just slice a xenomorph and kick its corpse onto another xenomorph. And this pretense you're trying to set up so you can post random scans is wasted effort too. You might as well just act like that poster, Fanboy, who has a habit of awkwardly posting scans with one word descriptions in the Character Ownage thread.

Originally posted by bluewaterriderTry actually watching the video before assuming it lends any credence to your absolutely misinformed opinions. The entire video just shows how few, and how small and narrow the corridors and rooms are within a pyramid's structure.

Proof?

One big reason to use stones is to avoid cutting the monsters and avoid that damaging blood splashing mentioned earlier. There are other ways to do it, but this is one based on his actions in the comics.

Wolverine isn't a favorite character. Or even a character I like.
There's no pretense here, despite what you may think.

I did watch the video.
If the corridors are small and narrow, that HELPS Wolverine's chances, for it limits the number of aliens that can try to surround him. In fact, if the corridors are small and narrow enough, they have to come for him more or less singly and need to push past the bodies of their fallen comrades. Wolverine should last indefinitely under those circumstances, given that even 20 years ago he demonstrated the ability to last for hours fighting against people as high level as Omega Red without falling out.

Blue,Look at how many aliens are in that scan and compare the number to the enemies in your scan. He is surrounded, there is no room to do any of the things you are pointing out.
The actual path one being can take down the pyramid is relatively narrow, Carver.
Despite however many numbers of aliens there are, there is a limit to the number that can actually attack Wolverine at once. He only has to deal with a small fraction of what you see if his only goal is to make it down alive and get to safety.

If they really thought Hulk can't KO him, then lol @ them.
Even if he does insanely well and just starts slaughtering them, he'll be bathed in their acid blood, leaving him nothing more than a smoldering adamantium skeleton. Not sure if he would even get the chance to regenerate if all the aliens stand around and start gnawing on him whenever his flesh starts growing back.
