‘X-Men: First Class’ Sequel Titled ‘Days of Future Past’?

[ThaVirus]

Wolverine is over saturated but he's farrrrrr from a pussy. He's the best there is at what he does, and what he does isn't very nice!

....... No but seriously. He basically can't ****ing die and he slaughters people left and right. He's about as badass as they come.

Yeah...how is Wolverine one of the pussiest mutants?

Jubilee anyone?

True.

But "Purple Man" has a daughter named...Purple girl who's both lame and a mutant.

Pixie is a pretty lame character and weak ripoff of Magik.

No arguments there.

And - though I have a close friend who will punch me hard if she sees me type this - Cypher was pretty lame as well. He was a shy, skinny nerd whose mutant power was that he could read any language, but could never translate it for others.

Needless to say, he was the designated punching bag of the New Mutants, and he ultimately was the first to die.

And I agree about Iceman.

He has potential but he's always portrayed as a kid and/or unfocused. But even in the films, his power has been steadily progressing. In X Men 1 and X2 he was just a little douche. Freeze a pond here, make a little ice rose there. In X3 he finally turned into his full ice form and dicked Pyro. Now, it looks like he's always in ice form for battle and riding around the ice shutes.

Pretty much none of the mutants are as powerful in the movies as they are in the comics though and that's probably for the best.

Hmm . . . Wolverine a puss?

In his defense, he has several lifetimes worth of experience, both on the battlefield and off. These give him sharp instincts on top of his heightened senses and (until recently) the ability to withstand damage that would level a small city. He can speak numerous languages, is extremely comfortable in wilderness settings, has an extensive list of contacts and friends, and most of all, is staggeringly dangerous when in close quarters combat.

However, his effectiveness drops off severely after about six feet of distance. He's not particularly strong, fast, agile, smart, disciplined, or tactically savvy, and after forty years, he still doesn't work well on a team. He can be easily corralled or evaded by someone so inclined, and usually won't figure out a plan until it becomes obvious to him. When he does win a combat, it's more often than not by naked aggression than by actually utilizing any of the decades' worth of fight training he's no doubt ignored in favor of just being pissed off all the time. He's survived this long based mostly on his ability to take a vicious beating, and his popularity among comic readers.

He's one of the most popular superhero characters ever, but he'd most likely lose in a head-to-head match-up with almost any other comparable character, on account of being a bit of a one-trick pony.

Wolverines whole mythos is look, he has claws, he is cool, kids love him, lets write on that.

Him cuttings a sentinels head off with one swipe. He is not strong enough, nor are his claws long enough. He is basically batmanlike, only normal humans should fear him. Him taking on the hulk or thor, it is a joke, most of the other xmen should take him one on one if you strictly go on their powers. But no, he survives and is made better than what he is from marketing and writing.

His comp is shatterstar but with adamantium. Ok, shatterstar might be more of a badass.

It really depends on the writer but most of the time they really don't do Wolverine any favors.

The guy is 100+ years old with experience training on Canadian black ops teams, samurai, and the Weapon X program. His skeleton is unbreakable and he can regenerate from most any wound in a matter of minutes. He should be one of the most skilled fighters in the Marvel U but he's usually depicted as nothing more than a mindless berserker.

He is a skilled fighter, but that basically should only allow him to destroy humans with ease. His healing and metal make him one of those blow up punching guys, you know, the one you hit to the ground and it pops back up towards a lot of mutants.

That said, old man logan is one of my favorite books.

[ThaVirus]

Idk. He's pretty durable and his claws are sharp as shit so he's a danger to some more powerful characters.

I'd put him on the Captain America/Batman level.

[Aries Walker]

That sounds about right to me, with the caveat that he has so little versatility.
