So with the release of The Wolverine I figured it would be a great time to try something fun with the character. If this does well I would like to continue doing articles like this in the future. I would like you all to play a little game with me and Wolverine.
First lets get a little more comfortable with the character. Some of you may be experts, but remember, some are not. So be patient if you will so I can lay down some info. In the comics, Wolverine is known as being one of Marvels best fighters. Unfortunately the writers usually use the character as the whipping boy for the villains to show their power. Now the fans that know the character really well, know him to be more than just a whipping boy. Hes over a hundred years old, possibly closer to two hundred. Hes been fighting in wars his entire life. Thats a lot of experience. He was a trained Samurai, and hes trained in several other Martial Arts as well. According to Marvel, hes one of their best fighters all together. His biggest advantage in combat is his Mutant Power, his healing factor. Its the reason hes so old. It also causes him to heal remarkably fast from even the deadliest of wounds. Possibly the only thing that could really kill him would be to remove his head. Thats a little hard to do when you have a skeleton thats coated in the unbreakable metal called Adamantium.
The metal was fused to his skeleton by the Weapon X program, and it also covers another one of his mutations. His claws. Wolverine has three foot long claws that extend from his knuckles on each hand. So even though hes only 5'3", he has considerable reach in combat. The skeleton also adds over a hundred pounds to his weight, and his healing factor compensates for this. It makes him stronger. He also has enhanced senses, sight, hearing, smell. You get the point. Wolverine is also known for his temper. When he gets mad, he loses it. Really. They call him a Berserker.
I will get into more detail further into the article, and let you know what this guy is really capable of. Lets get to the fun part. The little game I wanted you guys to play.
First, let me lay down the rules. Not many, I dont even care if you stay on topic in my articles. I'm not one for deleting comments. What I'm gonna do is lay out Wolverines fighting abilities for you all to see. Then I want you guys to bring someone, anyone, from ANY COMPANY! If your a Spawn expert, bring it. Hellboy, lets see what ya got! Lets just, try to have fun with it. If you could though, present an argument that really points out why your champion can beat Wolverine in an all out brawl. I'm not looking for, "Batman wins cause hes Batman", or,"Hulk would just through him off the planet. Thats BORING! No, do it a little more like this......
Wolverine
Multiple martial artist
Claws that can cut through almost anything
Unbreakable skeleton
Enhanced senses
Extensive military training
His strength level is at the most just under the two ton limit, yes, hes stronger than most people think
Superhuman stamina
Enhanced agility, even with the extra weight
And his reflexes are on par with Captain America
Now I'm not expecting anyone to lay it out like that, but please use examples to really get your point across. Whoever gives me the best debate, or whichever character gets picked the most by majority, I would love to do another article depicting an actual battle played out by the two characters. I'm gonna be paying close attention through the weekend. Lets have some fun! BRING IT, BUB!
