James Howlett, aka 'Logan', 'Patch', Weapon X, and the Wolverine.

Okay first of all... DAY-UM!!! That has to be the best looking Wolverine I've seen in a loooooong time. Very very cool.

I do have one slight nit-pick though. Unless I missed something in your bio or the rules of your Asunderverse are different, as I recall once adamantium hardens its unbreakable. So how does he "retract" the blades he constructs from the molten adamantium resevoirs in his arms? I'm genuinely curious because I really like this version of explaining his claws. Very outside the box from the usual metal-over-bones or implanted blades explanations.

Nice job man. Now send him to me :D

I also love this custom and back story... Either way on the claws quirk, he kicks butt.

Good works! I love. Good job on the height as well.

Thanks, all. If you've got an SS Wolvie and a BnB Edge, I highly recommend you guys copy this as it wasn't very difficult at all. After seeing this fig in person, Liftoff made me make him one for him despite my objections that he should do it himself. "Blah, blah, blah chirrens this, wife that blah blah blah" as he usually gives me as reason for making me do all his work for him, tho.

As to the supposed 'unbreakability' of adamantium, I refuse to believe there's any such arrangement of any elements that can't be disassembled. Surely Dark Phoenix, with her reality-warping powers, can break adamantium. Surely Galactus can disintegrate it. Surely Darkseid, Odin, or an Oan Guardian can bend it to their will.

The degree to which it is unbreakable is proportionate to the degree which 'current' human technology can focus energy into the molecular bonds of the adamantium compound. Fists and energy blasts on a 'human' scale from the standard set of Earth-based individuals don't focus energy that finely; but it is possible for a sub-atomic particle processor to work the various atoms directly.

As I find the idea of bone claws to be the absolute stupidest plot element *ever* in all of comicdom and I really dislike when artists draw his claws as being only as long as his forearm can contain, this is the story I'm sticking with.

Lookin' good! My only critique is that you have him way more powerful then he should be. At least that's how it reads.

Too powerful? How so?

mutant healing ability: recover from any wound or bacteriological/viral/chemical illness

increased sensory ability: He can discern individuals by their smell, hear whispers in other rooms, hear whispers in other rooms, see into the near infrared spectrum, feel when people enter rooms by the change in air pressure, and taste the differences in blood type. Aside from the obvious difference in vision, his sensory acuity is on a par with DareDevil's.

He can defeat the likes of Shang-Chi, the Batman, and Captain America in single combat.

His skeleton and implant permanent blades in his body make him 'undefeatable'.

. . . That's a lot for one Superhero. Not that I don't like him, I do.

But that's all from the comics, man. The only bits I think I pulled completely out of my ass are his abilities to sense the changes in air pressure, taste blood types, and see into the near infra-red. But they only make sense to me from everything I've read about the dude.

Just because he can defeat Shang, Bats, and Cap doesn't mean they can't also beat him. And I did put quotes around 'undefeatable', y'know.

Yeah, the reason you make me customs is you owe me money and never have cash.

Okay so he's got some fancy scientific doo-hickey in his arms that hardens and softens the adamantium "at will". Right? Did I miss that part in the bio? Not trying to pick on you here. I'm genuinely curious and I know you have it all thought out in that twisted mind of yours :D

Yup, that's the gist of it, MS.

I got to look for just a minute before work, but now it wont load, your last custom wouldnt load for me either. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark as the saying goes.
