No, no we’re going there, because it’s exactly the point! Stupidest scene ever, and the beginning of the overpowered version of Wolverine. I can’t bore through my stone walls with my diamond drill bit by hand. Wolverine, who does not possess superhuman strength, should not have sufficient force to do what he did. The blow should have glanced off.
He heals super fast, his weapons and skeleton are unbreakable, but his flesh and muscle is ordinary. That was the appeal; very dangerous among human-level powered heroes. The power level distortion began here and I lost interest in where the character went: Another moody, broody loudmouth always telling you what a badass he is, a la Namor.
Finally, after all these years, he got a reasonable depiction in World War Hulk, when he and Colossus tried to keep the Hulk from Prof. X.
