So yeah, Russel can't break Wolverine's bones, but he sure can pull off his arms/legs from their sockets.


Wolverine was unharmed when falling hundreds of feet downwards in Origins. Also the Blob fight.

Suffice to say, Russell isn't tearing him apart.

That's why I gave him full knowledge of each character.

He had full knowledge of Sookie's fae abilities, yet he still charged towards her like a moron and got himself zapped. It took 2 different instances of being zapped by faerie light for him to finally learn his lesson and avoid getting the same treatment at the hands of faerie elder.

Do you not know how he fights in character?

That doesn't really mean much. As long as no limbs are caught on anything while falling then they wouldn't tear off. And any dislocation or torn ligaments he suffers after the fall should be taken care of by his healing factor.

So yeah, Russell should still be able to tear him apart.

His bones are connected by chains to keep that from happening. And he tanked a beating from Blob as well as Gambit and Silver Samurai. You can't point out his lows and ignore the highs which were better feats.

Connected by chains? Where exactly in the movies was this mentioned?

Not really. A fall like that by its very nature should cause multiple dislocated joints. And iirc Sabretooth also dislocated his shoulder in their first fight in Origins.

Nope, he wouldn't. Wolverine on the other hand only needs to decapitate him, which would be fairly easy for him. Nightcrawler could disintegrate him by teleporting within him. Too many ways for the the team to win here.

Like I said, dislocation wouldn't be a problem for Wolverine as long as he's allowed time to heal. Getting his arm torn off however, not sure how he's healing from that.

For Nightcrawler to teleport into Russel he'd need to be at the same location as Russel... which would be tricky if Russel is speed blitzing everywhere.

He turn direction on a speeding bike with his claws and arms without dislocation so I don't think it will be a problem.

Nightcrawler teleports him into Rogue.

/thread.

Turning the direction/momentum of a bike (which has wheels mind you) is quite different from having a multi-ton strong vampire pulling on your arm.

He stuck his claws into the ground whilst moving on a speeding bike

The arguments here are hilarious. Wolverine isn't soloing this Vampire.

Yes and? That's still nowhere near the strength output of Russel.

Russell kills or KO's everyone. Probably in under 5 seconds except for NC, he survives a little longer.

Wolverine (barring Ultimate) has hinges on his skeleton that stop disemberment of his limbs in the comics.

Stands to reason the film version could have this as well. Though I can't recall someone trying to tear him apart.

Either way, Russell could easily KO him via speed-punch to the head.

We saw the adamantium bonding process in Origins, just looked like a simple coating over his bones.
