Answer 1

Answer 2

How Strong Is Wolverine

Answer 3

Wolverine's strength is the same as a normal person in extremely fit condition with a lot added. His ability to take pain, train past anything a human could stand aids in his strength. You and I can't punch a wall as hard as we can because we will injure ourselves. We can't train like an fiend or run forever and a day. Our bodies have limits that his will not have. Thus, he can train at an entirely different level. Therefore, his strength and endurance are greatly enhance as a side effect to his healing abilities. Not to mentions that mutants tend to be hardier than normal humans.

Answer 4

Wolverine has enhanced strength, agility and senses (smell, hearing, sight). He's greatest power however is his healing factor. It truly makes him impossible to be killed. He can die of old age, but he can't be killed. Wolverine has has his head cut off and survived. He has been burned down to his skeleton and survived. He can not be killed. Do not believe marvel.com as a source because most articles are written by fans and are only reviewed by marvel. Thus an article can contain mistakes.

His strength is that about 2 -5 normal human beings. He rivals Spiderman in strength and agility.

I believe that was a good and pretty to the point answer.

Answer 5

I don't belive that Wolverine's physical strength can really be exacted. Depictions in movies indicate that his upper body might be comparable to a typical human that can bench 300lbs or so. His lower body seems like it may have more unnatural strength that lends him to a substantial vertical leap (10-15ft?) and extreme agility. Add that to the weight associated with his Adamantium coated skeleton, and his lower body strength is that much more impressive.

Answer 6

Go to the Marvel Directory site. They have listings for all their characters giving their strength levels. IIRC, Wolvie is about the same as Captain America, for the highest normal human strength, not enhanced by a mutant metabolism, say olympic athlete level. I think they both press around 500 -- 1000 lbs.

Answer 7

Logan's strength is about equal to the peak human potential. He is stronger then most human beings and a number of mutants. He's not quite in the league of Spider-man, but he is as strong as Captain America and probably Luke Cage.
That means that his maximum lifing capacity is likely 1041.6 pounds (since the world record Olympic lift is 1041.684188895 pounds). Thats half of a ton!!

Answer 8

what is the point of this question? didnt we discuss this already... the first dude got it right here... the official handbook of the marvel universe (vol 1 and 2) said something like, 'wolverine is as strong as a human male his size and physical age who engages in intensive regular exercise'... vol 3 said peak human...

Answer 9

Wolverine is a mutant who possesses the ability to regenerate damaged or destroyed areas of his cellular structure at a rate far greater than that of an ordinary human. The speed at which this healing factor works varies in direct proportion with the severity of the damage Wolverine suffers. For example, he can fully recover from an ordinary gunshot wound in a non-vital area of his body within minutes, but it took him almost two months to fully recover from injuries sustained in a duel with Lord Shingen, which included one from a sword that went all the way through his trunk.
Wolverine’s natural healing also affords him virtual immunity to poisons and most drugs, as well as an enhanced resistance to diseases. For example, it is nearly impossible for him to become intoxicated from drinking alcohol. He also has a limited immunity to the fatigue poisons generated by bodily activity, and hence he has greater endurance than an ordinary human. His agility and reflexes are similarly enhanced.

In addition, Wolverine’s healing factor provides him with an extended lifespan by slowing the effects of the aging process. Although over a century old, Wolverine is as healthy and physically fit as a man in his prime.

Wolverine also possesses superhumanly acute senses, making him capable of seeing things at a maximum distance greater than a normal human’s. His hearing is enhanced in a similar manner, and he is able to recognize people and objects by scent, even if that person or object is hidden. Wolverine can use these enhanced senses to track any creature with an impressive degree of success.

Wolverine’s skeleton includes six retractable one-foot long bone claws, three in each arm, that are housed beneath the skin and muscle of his forearms. Wolverine can, at will, release these slightly curved claws through his skin beneath the knuckles on each hand. The skin between the knuckles tears and bleeds, but the blood loss is quickly halted by his healing factor. Wolverine can unsheathe any number of his claws at once, although he must keep his wrists straight at the moment his claws shoot from his forearms into his hands. When unsheathed, the claws are fully within his hands, and thus Wolverine can still bend his wrists. The claws are naturally sharp and tougher than that of normal human bone structure, allowing Wolverine to cut through most types of flesh and natural materials.

Despite the extent of his healing factor, Wolverine is not immortal. If the injuries are extensive enough, especially if they result in the loss of vital organs, large amounts of blood, and/or loss of physical form, such as having flesh burned away by fire or acid, Wolverine can die.
