** I used spider-man as an example as to why they couldn't give him organic webshooters in the first place. There's no logic why'd go to his wrist until that whole mystic spider thing.
Wolverine is not a real wolverine but I don't know a single animal that has long claws in their arms so that they have to penatrate their skin to reveal them. Yes, he has a healing factor to close the wounds but you'd still figure he'd had the holes become natural part of his body.

This is the same kinda thing as Spider-man should shoot web from his ass. Why the wrists/knuckles and why doesn't he have natural holes in his hands?

* I think it has something to do with Wolverine being born from two families with powerful mutant genetics. Which is precisely why we had Mister Sinister messing around with Jean and Scott's genes to create Cable and X-Man. Magneto had a clone for a short while.

!! Why do secret goverment organizations and the like always try to copy/clone Wolverine.
Sure the healing factor is useful, but when you think about it, their are so many mutants with, well better powers. A lot of Logan's badassness doesn't come from his powers, but rather his vast ammount of experience. If you think about it, their are a lot of mutants who could totally own someone wh has an adamantium skeleton, and healing factor. Magneato could just tie their bones into knots and leave them in agony. Any telekinetic could just lift him into the air, where about about all they could do is make angry faces. Iceman could just freeze them solid. Anyone with air or water manipulation powers can suffocate them. Why not clone someone like Magneato, or Iceman?

!!His hair bothers me.
Nitro reduced Wolverine to a skeleton, and he was able to regenerate from that. Okay, fine, whatever -- but his unique hair configuration managed to "heal," too, right down to the sideburns and PermaStubble. ''How the hell did his hair know how long it was supposed to be?'' Shouldn't he have regenerated with a full beard, or with no hair at all? Does Wolverine have some sort of unconscious control over his healing factor that allows him to determine how superficial aspects of his appearance will regenerate, like the length of his hair and fingernails?

!!Old Man Logan
The comic seems to imply that Wolverine is able to take on every single X-man at once and win. The first few I can gather he'd get without trouble, what with them wondering what the hell is going on, but surely the rest would have more then enough combined strength to subdue him.

** It's a RetCon. The claws were originally implants given to him by Weapon X (and in his early appearances in The Incredible Hulk, it was implied that they were actually in the gloves). Then "Fatal Attractions" happened, and Marvel realized they had effectively de-powered their most popular character.

** Healing is Wolverines ONLY mutant power. The claws whatever they came from and however he got them aren't a mutant ability. Which is WHY Rogue only absorbs his healing and when ever they lose their powers be it Savage Land, power cancelling collars (or mutants) come around Wolvie still has his claws. Often times surprising the villians who thought they had rendered him helpless.

**Actually in the novel Wolverine: Weapon X (and maybe elsewhere, though this is the only place I've seen it) it's revealed that Logan's adamantium also came with self-sustaining nanites that keep microscopic channels to his bones open. As convoluted as that novel was, it did try to explain a few of the finer points of Wolverine's origin story.
