Comics The Wolverine thread

[FunBobPants]

With mutants moving objects with their fingers, and fire coming from their palms.. how the hell can wolverine compete with all that? He has no projectiles, and everything must be in close range. Some mutants can't be penetrated and others stop the penetration before it actually happened. Others can simply sit down and move things with their thoughts.

So what the hell does wolverine have that makes him so popular? He doesn't have the best of anything.. but he does use everything so well..

However, he does have something that has never been mentioned before in any of the comic books. Perhaps because of their limited knowledge about metal. His ability to conduct electricity. In fact, connected to a power source.. his slash could be so powerful that it would indeed blast even the toughest opponents that would leave them stunned for a few moments with several burnt scars on their chest.

However.. too much electricity running through him could end up killing him.. or melting his skin right off. Heck with the unreal imagination of the x-men.. he could just manipulate electrical force fields with his claws.. otherwise he'll just be a prettier version of a freddy krueger.. or some killer who lost his gun and found 3 knives instead.

why did that sound so gay to me?

I never remembered Wolverines healing ability being all that powerful. Honestly its his attitude that makes him popular. The typical bad/good guy. IMO he isn't powerful at all but a very good hand to hand fighter. Though he should have been dead decades ago but fanboys keep him alive.

 

[Harlekin]

It didn't use to be that powerful, but it is now. Basically the entire skin tissue on one of his arms renegerated (in the first fight against Cassandra Nova). The old Wolvie was even't close to those levels.

 

[tirminyl]

This happen in the same universe or a different one?

 

[Harlekin]

Yeah.

 

[Superbeasto]

I do think that wolverine is overrated, and i dont know for how long his personality is going to work for the comic book fans, as Superman who is no longer a hero for this times, where antiheroes work better. Personally im getting tired of all the loner bad ass attitude, maybe he just need a girfriend.

On the other hand, Wolverine has a lot of experience and training making him so lethal, even so, there are chacracters with almost unlimited power (franklin richards, Jean grey, etc...), so, yes, i dont know why he is like in the center of the Marvel Universe

 

[Harlekin]

Did you just say Superman is no longer a hero for our times?

Yep I said it

 

[masterj]

What I don't undertsand about Wolverine is he is Marvel's biggest marketing ploy yet hardly any of the comic book fans actually like him. We all rant about how much attention he get's and how he steals the light away from other characters yet Marvel continue to plaster him everywhere despite most fans dislike for him.

 

[Superbeasto]

But this is a wolverine discusion thread, so move on

 

[Harlekin]

Yep I said it

The fact that the anti-hero has becoming more prevalent means that Superman is just the hero for our times. In our world of moral relativism and anti-heroes, Superman as the iconic hero, as a symbol of what we should hope to be and emulate is that much more relevant.

A little off-topicness never did anybody any harm.

Maybe he's cool only in low doses? The non-comic fans seem to love him - I've heard people saying that he's faster than Quicksilver, or he'd dodge all of Cyclop's blast and gut him, or he'll regenrate all the flesh that Pyro would burn off of him and other dumb things.

I like Wolverine, but smaller doses would be GREAT

Why?
You're not a mod, and that thread is actually younger than this one. Is it simply due to you having made it and it's "official."

 

[squeekness]

Well Lightning was very kind and merged them both together so it's not as though either side won.

Because that Wolverine thread was dead when mine was made and I had the board specifically vote for whether or not to make new ones, hence the reason I made a new one, and no one said not to make one for Wolverine. This only came back well after I made the new one, so it should have been closed and mine should have been kept, which was the agreement when we all decided to let me make the new ones. This is total bull**** that is only because Lightning doesn't like the fact that I called him out on some of his crap.

 

[Specter313]

Kind? Kind my ass. He knew the deal when I made these new threads that they would be the one and only official ones. He only merged these as a big "screw you" to me because I don't bow down to him anymore and called him out on some of his crap in the past. Screw it, I'm making another one and explaining myself there.

 

[squeekness]

No, he explained to me that Morgoth's thread was older than yours and should therefore have preference. Either way, when you merge threads, the older thread always comes out on top since the posts are arranged by the time they were posted. Besides, now there is only one thread -- which was the whole point to begin with -- and if someone opens another, Lightning will close it. It's really the same thing.

No, the deal was that mine would be used as the official threads so that basic information about the title would be kept in the first post for newer users to find easily and the threads could be easily monitered and updated. If he merges mine into the middle of that one, WHICH WAS DEAD AND BURIED WHEN I DID THIS AND SHOULD NEVER HAVE EVEN BEEN BROUGHT BACK, then that info is lost. He knew the deal, and he's just purposely screwing me over.

 

[squeekness]

Well, I tried to help, but clearly all I did was make things worse. I don't really agree with you about Lightning, but whatever. I won't make the same mistake again.

 

[ScarletSpider]

What's the big friggin' deal, it's just a poxy thread. Get over it. Jesus.


Anyway.. I really enjoyed issue 42, I'm really looking forward to Wolvie hunting down Nova, bloody right too.

 

[Superbeasto]

Is anyone out there who tought that Ramos wasnt right for the tittle and changed his mind after seein the whole book??

Don't you think that Superman being iconic its actually the problem???, i mean, he is the symbol of right and justice, and while he is a symbol, there are some other heroes that not onlu have to fight for justice, but with their own personal issues, like when wolverine was looking for his past, thats what was interesting about the caracter, the posibility of beign vulnerable.

 

[gambitarchangel]

Wolverine is definitly the most oversaturated character.

 

[foxx5]

hunting down Nitro right?

I was convinced that Ramos is great for Wolveirne after I saw #42, before I saw it I was not sure, but I love his art, I enjoy different artist on the title.
