Am I the only one who thinks that Romulus is a lame villain? The man responsible for all the crap that happened to Wolverine in his life and they couldnt think of anything better than ultimate sabertooth looking dude with a stupid hairdoo and gloves with adamantium claws? How did he manage to stay behind the shadows all this time and manipulate so many lives when every time there's a problem he solves it with claws...
On topic- I vote Abom.

Romulus sucked. But given what Loeb handed over to Way, was there anything else he could do about it? Frankly, I'm not surprised that the personification of the greatest influence of Wolverine... turned out to be a completely forgettable and worthless tool.
Everybody thinks that. Made a full appearance after 40 issues and that's excluding all foreshadowing in volume 3... that pretty much speaks for itself.
His look... it's actually a fusion between Wolverine, Sabes and Omega Red... supposed to show us he is the original, I guess.
Are you sure? Emil is a jobber and Romulus gave Skaar hell in Dark Wolverine #86...
Too much hype. Way should have introduced him earlier instead of doing that just before the end.
I know what you mean, and looking at how easilly Logan took him down one would think that Romulus should at least take a few wins, but I believe that wasn't Abom's best showing. No jobbing he could do a thunderclap and while Romulus is stunned take him apart. The guy doesnt have adamantium bones like Wolvie.
I like to think that in "Identity disc" series the mystery guy in the shadows nicknamed "Tristram Silver" and described as a mastermind who was behind pretty much everything and is many hundred years old is Romulus. Whoever he was his siluet looked kinda beastly, he kept track on everything and made Sandman wet his pants simply by looking at him.

I'll play with ABC logic a bit, if you don't mind. You read Logan's fight with Ross. Did you see what he did to Abomination? Samson even commented it wasn't a fight, Rulk simply raped Blonsky.
Then we have She-Hulk defeating him...
How many times Banner owned Abom? In more than ten fights, I think.
Personally, I believe Skaar to be a more formidable brick. Romulus disarmed him, dodged his every attack (even the ground pound), hurt him, knocked down on his ass...
