What universe are you posting from?

1) I don't know how you're missing all of the Guardians hype.

2) The "True" Marvel universe fans you're talking about are probably just people who want good comic book movies that are relatively similar to their source material. The problem was that for a while there Marvel Studios were the only one doing that.

Obviously, the answer to my question is 'yes.'
 
Hugh Jackman IS Wolverine. So what if he's 6'3? What a stupid thing to hold a grudge on.

Do you also have a problem with James Marsden? Because they made him stand on top of boxes and crates when he did scenes with Famke and Hugh. Cyclops is 6'3 but Marsden is 5'9. Woo big deal.


Nooo.. that's not trueeee... that's impossible....

:/

Wolverine to me was a little guy that was badass. One for the little guys. Yahoo know? Jackman is beautiful and perfect. Ill never be like that! I rest my case. Boycott continues.

My only issue with Jackman not being short is that we wont ever get the fastball special.
 
So did any villains ever throw Wolverine into a moderately deep body of water?

Someone for sure did in X-Men Evolution, can't remember if it was Sabertooth or Magneto, but it was around the first season finale. And of course Magneto chucked him into a river or lake or something in DOFP.
 
So is Uru stronger than Adamantium?

If wolverine laid his claws down and thor smashed down as hard as he could with his hammer, could he break wolverine's claws?
 
His claws can't pierce Mr. Fantastic's stretchy skin or Invisible Woman's force field correct?
Reed's skin? Yes. Sue's force fields? Nah.

Daken tried to drown Wolverine in a tank of water while Sabretooth filmed it for shits and giggles. The filming, not the drowning. Daken wanted to kill his pops, which didn't work so hot and Logan responded by drowning Daken in a puddle
 
This explains it pretty well, Because Science.

And why X-23 is deadlier

I just realized that this video is wrong about Wolverine vs Superman.

He spends a lot of time scienceing the science of Wolverine's claws, and then he just dismisses Superman, because an obsidian blade can cut DNA, so it doesn't matter who or what Wolverine tries to cut, it will be cut.

But this was essentially already tested in the Superman universe. The animated TV DC universe even, which has an underpowered Superman compared to many representations.

In Justice League Unlimited, they mentioned that there was a time when Supergirl required surgery to save her life, but surgery was impossible, because Supergirl. The sharpness of a razor blade didn't even matter. Her doctors had to innovate, so they fashioned a kryptonite scalpel. Not enough kryptonite to poison and kill, but enough to temporarily release her superhuman resistance to knives in a localized area, enough to allow sharpened space-rock to cut tissue and perform operations.

Wolverine's claws ain't kryptonite = they ain't cutting Superman.


Fake edit: And the Nerdist's defense of ignoring the Superman part of the equation is laughable. He posts a pic of Superman nicking his finger on one of Wonder Woman's magical cut-anything swords, followed instantly by Wonder Woman commenting "You always were a bit vulnerable to magic."
 
I read a comic once where kitty cat pride went to japan and got mind controlled by some breh and became and ninja and wolverine followed here and got shanked by some rando with a rando blade and was dying.

I was like why you dying you the wolverine.

A couple weeks later I read a comic where he gets incinerated down to his metal skeleton and then comes back a okay in a day.

comics are dumb.

I'd say that you being embarrassed watching it says more about you than the fact that you watched them both ever could.

Naw man those videos were disgustingly corny and not in an endearing way.

Super hard to get through.

I think the idea is, if Superman is made of matter, then Wolverines claws would cut through him, it doesnt matter how dense or how arranged his cells are. The blades can cut through the gaps in individual atoms. They would likely cut through a neutron star.

If he's using forcefields or magic then that's another matter entirely. It doesnt make sense anway for Superman to be weak to magic, he could only function with magic, its not like he functions within the laws of physics.

How could that feral gerbil even touch him? Super is magnitudes faster and can fucking fly!

The comics have said differently. Reed immobilized Wolverine by just wrapping around him and Wolverines claws couldn't do anything.

If I'm not mistaken in the same issue, Wolverine stresses out sues force field with his claws.

It's not like this shit is scientific or consistent. Magneto has been overpowered like insane before, but less at other times.

Edit: Someone else beat me to it. Whoops!
 
So in utility, how does the Nth Metal fare vs Adamantium/Vibranium. (cause we all know a good comic thread needs a versus).

I know Nth Metal isn't nigh high indestructible but with it's flight/super strength giving powers, shooting fireballs and many other application gives it a good run while not being able to go toe to toe in a blade fight per say.
 
I'm always peeved people think Wolverine's powers are his claws. They forget it's the healing factor.
 
Seems like he failed on both accounts, though I only have this issue to go by:

That scene was horrifying.

Nth Metal is so broken it isn't evwn funny.

-can transer and store psychic energy l, causeing shit like the Hawkman/Hawkgirl scenario, which involved the storage and transferrence of memories.
-Enables flight
-Can emit energy (super vague)
-Can directly counter magic, allowing one to protect themselves from magic and harm magical entities and magic users
-Can control the four fundamental forces of reality, allowing the user to perform such feats as manipulating gravity, removing friction (this caused Jay Garrick (the Golden Age Flash) to get momentarily fucked up by the Soeed Force, since there was no friction field protecting him when he tried to run), and remove molecular bonds (fucking up Sandy, who had a body comprise of sand molecules, by breaking his bonds and turning him to just straight up sand)

Nth metal is the dumbest shit on the planet

Originally, sure. But after the bone claw retcon, the claws are part of his power, so people aren't wrong anymore. Though I used to be right there with you.
 
Welp, didn't expect it to have so many broken powers. It could just break the Adamantium/Vibranium bounds and laugh.
Like, the only way that Nth metal users get balanced out is that they continuously get dumber the more Nth metal they use. For example: character using a Nth metal mace = still pretty intelligent. Character using all the Nth metal on the planet = complete moron.

oh right, they explained it that his biology recognized the claws as part of his system now or something when he healed the ripped bones eh?
 
So is Uru stronger than Adamantium?

If wolverine laid his claws down and thor smashed down as hard as he could with his hammer, could he break wolverine's claws?
Raw Uru is hard but not that hard, Thor can carve it with just his fingers. Enchanted Uru is tough but not adamantium tough

Adamantium isn't anything beyond being hard. Vibranium and Nth metal are pretty comparable in feats.

Should ahve posted the follow up page

If it had been something like "my body grew bones to compensate," it would have been stupid, but acceptable. But since I'm pretty sure the retcon meant him always having bone claws as a power means that a certain arc in which all his powers were removed EXCEPT FOR HIS CLAWS is now a massive plot hole.

There was an issue of Wolverine where Tigershark tried to drown him in the ocean.
