What was wrong with the Super Charisma with the short skirts and the bra of +5 Jiggle?
That deserves quoting.

Although, I think it's the shirt of +5 Jiggle... I don't think the Jiggle is really due to the bra, it's the lack thereof :lol:

Feeling like a full-on dork for this, but here goes:
To be overly technical, the adamantium on Wolverine's skeleton isn't a power, per se, though his powers allowed it to happen without him dying. If you did have the adamantium laced skeleton, you wouldn't be able to fly on any commercial airlines, since you couldn't get past security. If you didn't have it however, the healing factor would become more of a curse than a blessing. Consider this: he heals rapidly, so imagine he breaks a bone. It instantly begins to rebuild the tissue, causing it to be set wrong, and heal improperly. Now imagine he is in a serious accident, multiple broken bones, compound fractures, the works. By the time the EMTs arrive, he's healed, but with his bones going every-which-way. So now the doctors have to re-break everything, which in some places is so dangerous as to make it impossible (skull fracture?).
On the other hand...the amount of good someone with Wolverine's healing factor could do is just enormous, if you think about it. AIDS, cancer, every horrible desease we have, he could cure. His system would produce antibodies scientest couldn't even dream of. (Much how he cured the mutant legacy virus on the cartoon)

All that said, I'd still prefer to have the powers of either Green Lantern or Jean Grey.

TK would make me so lazy though. Remote control everything.
