Talk:Wolverine vs. Lucy Diclonius/@comment-26967996-20161114214055/@comment-28501958-20161128215258

First off, thanks for commenting!

-I will admit, I misunderstood the nature of the Berserker Rage. Used to be a pretty big X-Men fan, but I haven’t really been able to keep up with all the comics.

-That said, Wolverine’s movement speed is not Supersonic. The official Marvel Powergrid ranks him his speed as subsonic. As far as the reaction speed thing goes, I don’t usually use scaling unless I absolutely have to. He has been shown to react to people moving faster than the speed of sound, but I don’t recall him reacting to massively hyper-sonic attacks.

-My conclusion that Lucy’s vectors could cut Adamantium (like the case with Raiden’s vibra-weapons) is admittedly speculation, but that’s all I have to go on here. Since Lucy’s vectors and Adamantium don’t exist in the same universe, her vectors have never been given a chance to cut Adamantium or a similar substance, so there’s no real way of knowing if they could or couldn’t cut it.

-I will absolutely stand by my statement that Hulk could break Wolverine’s adamantium skeleton. There’s nothing to indicate that World War Hulk was hitting Wolverine with his full strength (if that was the case, most of Marvel’s cast would have been dead by the end of that event), and the Hulk has flat-out ripped Wolverine in half. Given the interlocking structure of the human vertebrae, this feat could not have been possible if the Hulk had not bent or broken the Adamantium. Yes, that feat came from the Ultimate comics, which is an alternate continuity, but their powers are essentially the same.

-While Thor’s hammer and Lucy’s vibrating vectors are both technically applications of kinetic energy, the comparison’s not entirely fair, as once is blunt-force and the other is a vibrating edged-weapon. That makes a difference. Try to cut down a tree with a sledge-hammer. Now try using a saw. One’s a lot more work than the other, isn’t it?

-As for Wolverine being able to regenerate from a sniper-round to the eye-socket… Wolverine’s regenerative power is all over the place in continuity. You have the Christ Claremont-era Wolverine, who could die to being poisoned and then sufficiently beaten with a stick, then you have him doing silly stuff like shrugging off an atomic explosion point-blank. The official Marvel Universe wiki has said that he can killed by sufficient damage to his internal organs, but then you have him shrugging off his heart exploding. That said, there is a big difference between taking a bullet to the brain (which has been nonfatal to human beings, however rarely) and having your brain pulped into a smoothie by vibra-weapons.

While my analysis of Wolvie wasn't 100% accurate, I am glad to see that we agree on the outcome. I know Wolverine's a pretty beloved character, and I was a little worried that having him lose to a relatively obscure character would ruffle some feathers.
