The healing factor was what made the implantation of the adamantium bones possible, it didn't make him indestructable... |

THANK YOU!!!!
Exactly!!!!
I used to like the real Wolverine! You know, that li'l crazy dude with a hair-trigger and no memory of the past, who joined the X-Men because he knew he needed to be kept in check because of his beserker rages. The guy who would get a gunshot wound and recover more quickly than a normal human (if a human could survive the wound, at all)... DAYS later (not SECONDS later)!
I hate the cocky, arrogant, know-it-all punk with the god-like healing abilities (cut off his head and he'll probably sprout a new one instantly) that calls himslef "Wolverine" these days. It's not the same guy.
Sadly, I can't blame the changes on later writers. It all started when Chris Claremont wrote Wolverine's mini-series. In order to "flesh-out" the character, we got something else.
