 SPEED  -- Values remain consistent for the entire dial. A 10 with Running Shot and 8 Range gives you 13 total range, which most figures don't exceed. The ending Earthbound will probably deliver no effect on your team or Wolverine.

 ATTACK  -- Attack spikes are worthless to me. So what if Wolverine has a chance of nailing someone on click #7; he's about to die! What if you rolled snake eyes? The only thing attack spikes do are diminish a figure's capability of retaliating after receiving a successful opposing attack. A handful of figures can deal enough damage to shoot him halfway down the dial, especially figures around Wolverine's point value. Steal Energy helps recovery, and you could say the higher attack numbers are needed here. I'd prefer Regeneration though.

 DEFENSE  -- Defense starts out so nicely to only plunge into a ravine of lost hope. By deathrow, Wolverine loses damage reducers AND reliable stats. A 14 defense is not a reliable stat.

 DAMAGE  -- Yes! Exploit Weakness! Yes! 3 damage!! But wait.. oh right, Running Shot. He's just not equipped to fight close combat at this point in his dial. The EW may come in handy to fend off close combat foes, but who would waste 150 points on a glorified reinforcement?

 SCULPT  -- The only highlight of the dial. Sad but true.

 FEATS?  Just don't bother. Please.

Was I too hard on this guy? After reviewing ten awesome figures, the best thing to do was sink our teeth into an overrated, overcosted Super-Rare. Because that's basically what he is. He gets 1 point for representing Power Cosmic and that's all. Slash off 50 points and I'll reconsider, otherwise keep Wolverine in the "Collection Only" box.

Wolverine receives a 2/5!
