This sh** is crazy. Wolverine cuts Colossus with ease and Colossus rips Wolverine arm off with ease. Both of these i thought was impossible. How times have changed....
Or are you referring to their characters?

I'm just super mystified why Carver thinks pulling Logan's arm out of its socket is impossible - they're just held in there by meat and ligaments and tendons, it's not adamantium connecting them (unless there are.... adamantium wires???)
But it's been inconsistent and more recently Logan was able to cut his own limbs off. I think stilt was blaming it on the Krakoa resurrections, we talked about it earlier this year

@Dark,One is as strong as Colossus and the other is fsr stronger than Colossus.
Dracula example is just PIS - the reason they give is adamantium bones, but bones are held together by weaker ligaments and tendons.
Hulk example, he was pulling him apart until Logan withdrew his claws (note how he's holding his claws, not on his wrists). Hulk wasn't holding Logan as securely as Colossus was (you try holding onto razor sharp claws - I reckon you won't be using as tight a grip as you would on a wrist.

But ...why is it impossible? Adamantium only covers the bones, it would be impossible for him to move if he had continuous sheathes of metal.

But it literally makes no sense except for plot?
The ball of the humerus (humeral head) is meant to stay close to the socket, like a ball bearing in a holder. The humeral head is held into the socket by the lining of the joint (the capsule), thickenings of the capsule called ligaments and a cartilage rim (the labrum) (Figure 1).
Comics.
A bunch of instances of the adamantium stopping his limbs/head from being severed. Also him coming out of the lava (iirc) as just a walking skeleton... shouldn't be possible without that connective tissue. And then some remarks of the adamantium specifically stopping his limbs from separating.

How does a man fly? He's Kryptonian, has extra organs, metabolises sunlight, whatever. There's an explanation.
How does a woman control the weather? Her genes have a mutation enabling this. There is an explanation.
How is a human guy an Olympic level weightlifter/marathon runner/sprinter/gymnast? He has special training/a 5D imp watches over him. There is an explanation.
But with Wolverine's joints? It sounds like there is no explanation, they just talk about the bones and that's it.
I understand if the gap between bones is so minute that severing them with a blade is nigh impossible, but tearing them apart should be nothing.
