Perhaps it's because I didn't read all the stories about him. Before, he just
seemed like he was a character 14 yr. olds thought was cool-- he came out of
nowhere, had no revealed past, did his own thing, had an admantium-laced
skeleton, etc., etc.
But he seemed too powerful and seemed to move too fast with the admantium.
Maybe they went overboard defining his character, but the writers did present
him with formidable challenges.
You remember how his healing factor was reduced to the point that his body
began to slightly reject the adamantium. He's the only X-Man to remember the
Siege Perilous incident. Then Magneto removed his admantium.
So I find out Wolvie has to think a lot more to fight. Ironically, the lack
of adamantium allowed more human and less bestial thinking. But it also meant
his claws could be broken.
What a challenge it was when Sabretooth was given adamantium in *his*
skeleton. Wolverine almost died fighting him. Of course, it was resolved
when they and Shadowcat were pitted against each other and some of their
traits were traded. Kitty and Logan made it by the fact Sabretooth was given
a sense of honor.
Oh, and then there was Wolvie's marriage to Viper..
I'm really behind on the story, actually..last I read was when he fought
Wendigger..er, what's his name?

Yes, I remembered.
I still disagree. Basically, the idea has been to show more what's going on
in Wolverine's head to show his continuing struggle to think more like a man
than a beast. Always, the emphasis has been on his challenge to work harder.
Interestingly enough, Sabretooth has been changed through all the incidents.
What kind of work has Erik Larsen done? You think he's somehow going to make
this all crystal-clear or something? Is he a regular write for Wolverine?
<lumen doesn't read enough comics and misses the best of the best, apparently>
It's obvious I'm no expert. :P
