Wolverine vs. Purple Man

😛 Can Wolverine break free of anything ftw?

Has he ever overcome the pheromones? Seems like something his willpower should overcome, but then his heightened senses should make him more susceptible....

I mean if Kingpin could do it, like he wasn't even phased by the pheromones, then I'm sure Wolverine can 'willpower' through them too.

One time that I recall, against Daken, when he killed him.

They worked on him before that. So he probably needs to be aware of such power and stay focused.

Fisk did it twice.

Doom has such a showing, too.

They're among the greatest villains whole Marvel Universe has to offer, but Wolverine is not lacking in the willpower (or popularity) department, either.

Basic biology, once olfactory receptors are filled the signal becomes nervous. Receptor sensitivity at max level will have no effect on neural response.

Aimed at nobody, merely clarfying why heightened senses is always a silly idea as a vulneribility, due to range of response.

True on Doom and Fisk, but with the starting distance, and with Logan's senses, he's going to be under their influence a LOT sooner than them - his respect thread has him detecting smells coming from inside a sewer whilst he is high up on a skyscraper, for example.

Yes, but... two things.

Purple Man's powers work at their best at close range, according to Killgrave himself.

And Daredevil resisted them too, despite having super-senses.

This is a good thread. Wonder Man sometimes positively surprises me with his thread ideas. Once per 100 times 😛

Yeah, Killgrave's statement is why I thought Logan would be more susceptible (compared to an 'unpowered' human like Fisk) - being more sensitive, the effects would be more apparent when he's further away compared to a normal guy.

So say they start out at 500m. A normal person gets hit around....10m or so (arbitrary pulling numbers here). At 5m, the pheromones are so strong you're then under his spell, unless you have the willpower to resist.

At 2m, you're basically at Doom/Fisk levels.

But with Logan, he can get 'hit' with the pheromones at 500m. At 100m, he can pick up way more pheromones than a normal person. At 10m, it would be like smacking him in the face with it.

Again, that didn't seem to bother DD, who spent a whole issue tracking & styling on Purple Man.

DD is better than Logan sneer but yeah, it points to Killgrave getting diced.

Wolverine berserker should suffice.
