Doubt that he would punch a small, hairy man with full strength either. At their first meeting, he didn't know who Wolverine was (hence not clearly unleashing his all strength at him, he was basically on defensive for the first few pages), and at their second meeting, he was depicted as a retarted pacifist who was struggling to lift a half a ton girder anyway, so he was pretty much holding back.
Mate don't get me started on the subject of rationality and logistics and its association with science. Most philosophers (inculding Plato, Kant and Hick) would suggest that the two are quite indifferent of each other.

It doesn't matter, the point is that its not the tool I am mocking its the idea of its use in comics is what I am laughing at. Your way to justify is silly and I am not so much talking about the comics in as much as how they are applied to use on the forum.
Hulk survives a nuclear explosion at ground zero and yet Wolverine is some sort of threat to him etc etc
And, as Namor didn't know who the hell Wolverine is according to continuity, writer wrote him and artist depicted him as clearly holding back (trying to tie him with ropes, etc.)...
Well he'd be crushing a lot of Wolverine fanboys hearts, if he had Namor punching him miles away, like a realistic depiction of his strength would demonstrate.

Now once again lets us ignore what Should scientifically happen, and concentrate on how Wolverine claws are generally depicted by artists and comic book writers.
Now look at it from my perspective:
His claws have cut off King Thor's arm b4. King Thor is generally accepted as more durable than the Hulk, and therefore his claws will penetrate him. If Sir Isaac Newton was writing comics, you'd probably find more realistic interpretation, of what would really happen. But the general creativity of the stories would probably amount to little more than stories about apples falling off trees, onto characters heads.

Yeah ok and we have seen Captain America knock him around and out as well I wouldn't say that puts his durability up there with Hulk's, I would call those PIS showings.
Because he isn't aware of how durable Wolverine is? I don't know why writers and artists depicted him using a fraction of his powers, but he clearly is.
Do these rules state, if not enough realistic damage is inflicted upon the environment by the characters punch, then punch in question, is not at full strength ?
Or does it say that the events are disregarded due to PIS.
If that is the case ,then ALL fights should be regarded as PIS, which is ludicrous.

I guess, if it's moronic to avoid killing people. And I am not saying that he's supposed to go fly miles in every issue...SOMETHING must be sacrificed for a story...but Class 100 punches should hurt him way more if they are truly full power punches (which they usually aren't).
Him taking Class 100 punch like it is Class 1 punch = not realistic. And only time I have seen him take a punch like that from Hulk is when he was Death...
If Namor's punches didn't do any more damage then a punch from someone like Daredevil/Spider-Man/Captain America, he's holding back. Like both issues clearly show.
