It should be noted, however, that in the Marvel Magic game, Wolverine would shred too quickly for Cap to keep up:

wolverine would slaughter captain america because not only is has he got over 100 years of combat experience to help him but cap couldn't hit him or he'd probably break his hand (metal skull remember?). the vibranium/adamantium shield wouldn't prove a problem either because of wolverines muramasa blade which slices at a molecular level therefore destroying caps shield. while cap is a brilliant tactician wolverine is not an idiot like everyone thinks because in the middle of a fight his brainwaves where described as the "equivalent of an Olympic-level gymnast performing a gold medal routine while simultaneously beating four chess computers in his head" by a mutant genius

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the absurdity of Marvel Comics writers, who have turned Wolverine from an interesting character into a perfect and invincible death machine. Ugh. This is why I stopped reading Wolverine long ago...

Haha! We need more of these threads!

Yeah. I was never a big Wolverine fan but you're right. I do enjoy him in the X-Men movies though.

Cap would likely not break his hand on his metal skull simply because Wolverine is not immovable. Wolverine would likely move before Cap's hand broke.

The shield is not vibranium/adamantium. The shield is vibranium/steel. Adamantium was created in an effort to duplicate the material. I believe that the muramasa blade was used against Wolverine and didn't cut through his adamantium bones. So it wouldn't likely cut through the shield. Anyway, I think that he gave the blade away.

Not saying that Wolverine is an idiot but the comment was not in regards to Wolverine's ability to strategize. It was in regards to subconcious fighting skills. So the argument could be that once Wolverine loses control, he would be a better fighter than Captain America but not necessarily from the start. And I don't see why Captain America would chose a head to head fight any more than Batman would against Superman. Captain America would likely prepare for the fight ahead of time.

False. As has been mentioned, chop off his head. Magneto completely neutralized Logan's regeneration for a while by un-bonding(?) the adamantium from his skeleton. Even if that weren't possible, quick regeneration does not mean instant.

I know this is an incredibly old thread, but once I saw it I had to contribute.

Wolverine has indeed become an overpowered fanboy hype machine. I mean, honestly, he is depicted carrying the Hulk on his back in an X-Men comic as if he weighed nothing. And this was when he had the bone claws I believe.

The whole thing about his muscles regenerating wouldn't make much difference, they'd simply reach their peak on his genetic level. Without steroids, they couldn't get any larger.

His fighting ability is superior to Captain America's, but he's not quite as tactically brilliant as Cap. Though retaining the title of Captain, he is a skilled field general that has led the Avengers and the entire roster of Marvel's heroes to victory time and time again. Batman even concurred in the crossover event JLA/Avengers (in which Superman took out Thor) that Cap should coordinate the final battle against the villain who started it all. He'd prepare and smoke Wolverine before the first round was up.

Here's something that has always bothered me about Wolverine and his fighting ability. He has had his memory supressed and recovered so many times and garbled in so many ways that there is no way he should retain the sharp mental focus he has when in combat. Captain America, on the other hand, was put into suspended animation right after a combat mission went south, so he was still at the peak of his ability when he was found in the ocean by the Avengers. Wolverine? He led Alpha Flight for a brief time before his attitude was simply too unstable.

In the end, Cap would take him. He's gone toe-to-toe with Mr. Hyde, Thanos, Hulk in the Ultimates line, and all manner of enemies more powerful than he. He didn't always win, but dang it he stood up to them and survived.

Winner: Captain America.

acctualy wolverine is better a fighting than cap because he knows ever typ or martial arts on the plant due to him living so long and travelling the world. were as captain america only knows boxing, judo and jimnastics. so in a one to one fight with no weppons. wolverine is way better. wolverine can beat cap overal voz he can heal and he isnt gonna just let captain america just chop of his head just like that and captain can keep blocking for ever he will get stabbed by woverine eventualy somewere in the bodey and that will slow him dow so i think wolvrine i the victor
