Didn't Wolverine get stabbed to death by a knife ( or was it a sword? can't remember ) in "Enemy of the State", a comic written 5-6 years after your so called "explaination"? However a year or two later he can somehow regenerate from just a skeleton. Hmm, funny I forget where they explained that one.
Then why use the sword in the first place? Why not just turn him to stone to begin with? Also, how the hell would they have been able to brainwash and use him after he was made of stone?
Nah dude, your the one lumping yourself in with the haters. Youll be ok.

What a perfectly heated argument.
Almost everythingHorhey has been saying in last couple of pages I disagree with, while in comparison I agree a lot with Tropico and some of the others say. We aren't looking for "ugly, weakling, loser" man. We want an underdog to cheer on. Wolverine was 'ugly' by the way, and he still is really. But weakling, loser? Just because we want him downscaled (I'd be willing to bet we want a lot of heroes downscaled) doesn't mean we want to make a wimp of him. I remember a Wolverine who weilded a katana as proficiently as he weilded his claws. I remember when the Hulk was someone Wolverine was able to match without pure strength and an amazing HF, but an amazing fighting ability. This isn't him anymore. The character has devolved.
Wolverine's always been a mutant who's powers were never up to scratch with any other super humans, and yet he was one of the most respected X-men. He could infiltrate and take on soldiers without taking a bullet because his talents and abilities put him in the position to do so (agility, speed, reflexes, senses, minimal super strength). I've gone entire story arcs from the eighties where Wolverine's claws barely ever appear, yet he beats impossible odds.
Underdog does not equal weakling. Does not mean loser. But it doesn't mean god like either.
Also, for those of you pointing out Enemy of the State, he fought Gorgon to death, and had his guts ripped out, as well as his throat stabbed, and probably his fair share of lacerations over his entire body. he comments that they are already stitching themselves back together nearly immediately after he kills Gorgon.
