Did they take Wolverine's healing factor too far? Do his stories inherently lack tension?

Wolverine has once revived from a singular drop of blood thanks to the M'Kraan crystal. ...So no not really.
Cameron Taylor
Powered up by the crystal

>Did they take Wolverine's healing factor too far? Yes. When they had him heal from being a corpse puppet. His powers very explicitly did not work that way before. That's why drowning was always a constant threat. He couldn't heal if he was dead.
Ayden Watson
Mutant powers are pretty stupid, the only way they can be explained is with magic.
Joseph Scott
his whole powerset doesn't make sense
Zachary Robinson
Wolverine is a shapeshifting organism. makes more sense than the power of almost every original x-men, beast is another character with powers that actually make sense.
Angel Cruz
Crystal is ridiculously powerful.
>Did they take Wolverine's healing factor too far? Do his stories inherently lack tension?
The problem is they made him the:
>LOOK HOW POWERFUL THIS NEW VILLAIN IS, PROCEEDS TO BLOW UP WOLVERINE TO SHOW HE MEANS BUSINESS.
Made him a kind of cannon fodder.
I think the big problem is nu-canon always has to massively change things with huge status quo changes and Wolverine as a popular character suffered constantly from this. Power creep and wank destroyed him as a character.
You've got to take all capeshit with a pinch-no a bowl of salt. I mean, all the mutants aren't just [x power here] but also good at a lot of stuff (physically peak fitness, good fighters etc). And none of it really makes sense.
Brandon Scott
I believe that is mitigated by Wolverine being the ultimate jobber.
Robert Morgan
Not in a universe where Apocalypse exists.
Juan Allen
Even Wolverine beat Apocalypse on his own that time.
John Ward
Apocalypse is the jobbin'est character in the Marvel Universe, even Ghost Rider's penance stare would probably fuck him up.
He's basically Marvel's Martian Manhunter.
Robert Thomas
Wasn't that a Doombot kind of thing though?
Zachary Gutierrez
Apocalypse would job to a Doombot.
Joshua Turner
It was.
>Apocalypse is the jobbin'est character in the Marvel Universe
He really is.
Camden Watson
He has thousands of years with access to Celestial tech, and somehow manages to be less threatening than Tony Stark. Quite an achievement.
Sebastian Jones
Wolverine in theory
>has centuries worth of combat training and experience
>insane regen
>is essentially indestructible
>super-sharp blades attached to his body
Wolverine in practice
>AAAAAIIEEEE Punisher-sama, I kneel

Nah, you probably could explain with some dumb pseudo science if you really tried. Like if the true nature of Logan power is not only regeneration, but he also has this ability to draw energy for his regen using portals kinda like how scott powers work. So Logan works more like this person with a with a subconscious connection to this plane that he can only use to heal himself so is like that he is able to regenerate so much from nothing, not being a real bioregen but much more like anatomic reconstruction of his biomass from energy.
Still as dumb, but you could convince a feel 15 years old is science with enough bullshit.
Xavier Gomez

>Not in a universe where Apocalypse exists.
Mephisto is still Marvel's king jobber. Took Peter's marriage instead of his balls so the entire fucking deal accomplished nothing for him but making Peter and MJ younger and more virile.
Missed opportunity not making Mephisto an intentional cosmic jobber on Marvel's end. I'd buy a devil designed to lose.
Isaiah Powell
>EVERY inch of his body has healing factor
Every night, Wolverine MUST empty his balls as his semen is constantly self-regenerating. If he doesn't cum, his balls can become a burden. He can't jizz anywhere no, because his cum doesn't harden, it instead keeps its creamy and liquid property and lives on forever, refusing to dissolve.
I theorize that he cums in the school's incinerator in order to burn the jizz but I am open to other theories.
