Wolverine has taken out helicopters with his bare hands. I suppose it is necessary to state that those hands do have 6 (3 in each), one foot long, blades that he can pop out at anytime.
He was originally born with bone claws, but his skeleton was later laced with adamantium - the strongest metal known to mankind - in the program known as Weapon X.
Weapon X was aimed at making, like any evil government program, super soldiers. Wolverine was chosen, particularly, for his ability to regenerate his health. Any injury he sustains is healed at a much quicker rate than normal. How quick he heals also depends on the severity of his injuries. A broken finger can fix itself in, about, 30 seconds. A rocket to the face could take a bit longer than that. The adamantium transfusion would have killed any normal human being.
Wolverine is also a mutant. The difference between mutants and normal superheroes is that mutants are born with their abilities. Instead of getting them from rolling around in radioactive waste or super power inducing gamma rays.
Supervillains.
It is said, in the deep, dark corners of the internet, that Sabretooth is in fact Wolverines father. Whoa! Mind-blown!
There are a few facts that make this a very likely possibility. Wolverine has never defeated Sabretooth in a knock-down, drag-out, kill-or-be-killed berserker fight. On that same note, every year on Wolverines birthday, Sabretooth has always managed to find him, no matter where he is, or what he was doing, and come within an inch of killing him. For no other reason than to remind him that he could.
Sabretooth has very similar attributes to Wolverine, such as regenerative healing, being generally over aggressive, and a reduced pain factor.
Flaws and Attributes.
Wolverine’s typical flaw is the fact that he can get very aggressive, even towards his friends. His regenerative healing has its limits too. If he loses too much blood, a limb, or a major organ he can die. But he is still able to take a shotgun blow to the chest, and remain standing.
His adamantium claws can also only be cut through by adamantium, as seen in his new movie. Whether that's a flaw or an attribute, I'll leave to the critics.
As for his attributes, he has been trained by the Japanese in almost every martial arts form known to man, he's a skilled weapons expert, and he doesn't age - again thanks to his healing factor.
Fun Facts.
- Wolverine first battled Sabretooth in Wolverine #10 in 1989.
- His birth name is James Howlett.
- He is one of the shortest superheroes in the Marvel Universe, standing only 5ft. 3in.
Possibility of Wolverine Existing.
For these blog posts, I always like to assume that there is some possibility that the superhero in question, does exist. But I'd just be fighting a losing battle with Wolverine. First of all, how the hell would you fuse a metal substance to someone’s skeleton? The metal would have to be in liquid form, thus be as hot as the devil himself, and then you would have to inject it into their bone structure. So, unless adamantium has the same melting point as mercury, the molten metal would turn the person into a pile of human mush. As for Wolverines regenerative healing; it could be possible if his DNA was fused with a star fish. Lamest superhero EVER.
Possibility of Wolverine existing; zero. Sorry.
