Please read these articles before-hand. Even though I have read some of the comics mentioned, I did not know this information! It was so cool to learn more about my favorite superhero Wolverine.

SPEED
Okay, so I was watching Naruto Shippuden the other day and this one fight scene came up between this guy named Killer Bee and Sasuke. Killer Bee’s fighting style was very fast, skilled, and agile. Making it all the more effective. (Show clip). One of the character s in the fight scene also said that he couldn’t read his line of attack. Most likely due to Killer Bee being that fast. (I don’t know if Wolverine is faster than Killer Bee). I’ve only seen that one fight scene with him. But I was very impressed. We know that Wolverine is very fast. He’s dodged bullets, even surprised faster characters like Black Panther and Spider-Man. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfQ1g0e61JA
SAVAGERY/ANIMALISTIC NATURE
Yea yea, I know this wasn’t a full-fledged fight. But Shang-Chi even says, “His savagery has not bred undiscipline.” Wolverine is an animalistic kind of guy, and this personality trait carries over to his fighting style. He is violent, aggressive, and he fights with an edge, yet he stays disciplined in his fighting style. He fights as if it is his last fight. With Wolverine, and his speed, physicality, and discipline in the martial arts, he is a tough foe to go up against. With the forge quotes, this shows that he is not a mindless brute, and that he is capable of complex fighting skills. That whole narrative on how he’s just a brute isn’t true, and we see it here in this comic. This also shows us the intelligence of Wolverine as well. Even in his berserker state, he is capable of complex fighting skills. It is just a different kind of intelligence. The grunts, and the growls all add to Wolverine’s fighting style. Sure, a lot of people grunt when they are involved in some kind of physical altercation. (You might hear them on the football field. Just watch some Mic’d up). But not a lot of heroes growl, or roar when they fight. Or they have that look in their eyes. That emotion, that fire, and that’s something that Wolverine has. (Wolverine vs Hulk fight).

SKILL
This is probably, if not one of the most overlooked aspects of Wolverine’s fighting style. HIs supreme martial arts skill. Man I wish comic book writers, tv shows, and even the movies showed more of his skill side. Yea yea, I know what you’re thinking, you always talk about this Wildboy80, we know that you want Marvel to showcase Wolverine’s skill more. But think about it. A fast, physical, deadly, skilled fighter like Wolverine. I really wished he used his skill more, because it would make him an even more formidable opponent. He’s even shown in this comic that he beats Shang-Chi. Yes, the Shang-Chi in a skirmish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pId9tgl24CU
(I know these pics are small, but I went home this weekend, and my collections are in my dorm room sorry ya'll).
STAMINA
I think a lot of us comic book fans, the first things that stick out to us about characters are speed and strength. While these things are important in a fight, let’s not overlook something very important but overlooked about Wolverine. His stamina. The guy’s endurance is better than a lot of street level’s character. (Show X-Men issue w/Omega Red). Wolverine is shown fighting Omega Red for 17 hours. Think about that for a second. That is maintaining the same kind of intensity, focus, and technique for over 1/2 a day. Over 50% of a day!!!! He’s fighting longer than some of us are up for the entire day. That is crazy!!! Wow! The guy has a motor. He doesn’t get tired. So if I was going up against Wolverine, make the fight as short and quick as possible. Don’t take too long to defeat him.
Well, what do you guys think? These are all some of the physical characteristics that go in to Logan's highly-sophisticated fighting style. I hope to see this in a movie, or even the new video-game. Which I sadly won't be playing. But I did watch an episode of Wolverine and the X-Men today and he did showcase some skill, agility, and speed. But tell me what you guys think of the post. I know it won't be as good as @BashengaTheFirst posts about Black Panther, but I'm trying my best to get on his level.
