I have a kind of alacrity in sinking.

In the original Secret War, Doom convinced Molecule Man to bump Ultron into Galactus and, well...

Occasionally Galactus will throw down against someone his own size.

Galactus in a fist fight is the funniest thing. Comics. :allears:

Wolverine used to be eminently kill-able. In some of his earlier spats with Spider-Man it was explicitly stated that breaking his neck would kill him, because that was a weak point in his adamantium skeleton and his healing factor couldn't fix his nervous system fast enough before his body just shut down for good. Also, his healing factor didn't reach his brain tissue - kill his brain, and Wolverine's dead.

Then power creep happened.

I might be wrong, but I think the power creep didn't kick into high gear until Magneto removed all of Wolvie's adamantium in X-Men #25.

IIRC, that was an idea Peter David jokingly pitched at one of Marvel's writer's retreats. The other writers there took it seriously because they loved the visuals. PD tried to shoot it down, saying that it would basically make Wolverine God, that he'd have no skeleton, that his brain is encased in adamantium and so it would go with the adamantium, etc. But it still happened anyway.



A lot of readers thought that was a very badass moment, both at the time and since. Even at the time, though, I remember thinking it was pretty dumb - way out of reach for the scale of his healing factor as I understood it. YMMV, really.

You're both clearly wrong.
