Just tell them that female Orks are too overpowered.

Okay...

Whatever we do, don't anyone tell him about 40K.

It's taken me a day of his time-wasting to realise you were absolutely right and that I should have taken your very wise advice.

1. Didn't even infer it.

2. You've ignored my points and claimed I wrote stuff I didn't.

3. That post doesn't exist.
The only reference to the 19th century Wolverine I can find is James Howlett using Bone Claws.
Now him using blades, that was his first appearance where he used claw-like blades.

You don't know which ones do you as you just Googled your argument and stopped at the first link that seemed to support it.

Because here's an art piece on his skeleton from that source, and the only artificial bits in it are the Adamantium and the claw exit ports.

No mention of artificial claws.

An official image from Marvel showing Wolverine's (Logan's) Adamantium covered skeleton with emphasis on his claws.

You're just repeating the same lame argument that didn't work the first time.

Your entire argument has been that Space Wolves are closer to being 40K's 'Wolverine Wannabes' than Black Dragons, which you have constantly failed to prove.

Which means you're just wasting my time.

What are you talking about now?

My "pet theory" on the Black Dragons which wasn't a pet theory, or my attempting to point out that 40K as a late 80s British IP mostly inspired by 2000AD would probably not draw on Marvel for inspiration as they weren't that big in the UK?

I never said I knew a lot about comics.
But that's been your kind of argument, claiming people have written stuff they haven't while ignoring what they actually wrote.

And the entire "I don't know X but I'm still right" has been you.

Which editions of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe?
Because I'm sure I have them and can go check.

The earliest known reference to King Arthur is a Welsh poem from around 594 AD, about 50 years after he reportedly died.

We now know that as the "Death of Arthur" part of the legend reflects actual history (the Krakatoa/Icelandic eruptions around 535 AD that had winter globally lasting 5 years).

I've addressed that.
Repeatedly.

It wasn't a "pet theory", it was fascetious comment to highlight the imbalance in claiming women can't be SM while you can have gene-seed mutations like those of the Black Dragons and Flame Falcons.

Your entire argument has been SW are the actual 40K Wolverines.

I don't know about that 19th century stuff.

I do know that when Magneto stripped him of his Adamantium he still had claws made of bone.

When Marvel did origin stories for him 15-20 years ago, they said he had bone claws as a kid.

And Marvel has never claimed his claws are wholly artificial.

Would you call any of them "over-compensating, Wolverine wannabes"?
Because that's what I said.

If you're going to try to use my words against me, please use what I actually said instead of just the part that seems to back your claims.

You forgot the classic Nordic food Logan Berries.
Truthfully, it's originally a Scottish surname.

I've never seen anything cite that Logan Grimnar's name was inspired in any way by the Marvel character Logan, and I've been into 40K since 1988.

Occam's Razor suggests it's the Scottish connection.

Or it could be that the Emperor told them not to turn girls into SM and everybody just assumed it was due to incompatibility with Gene-seed.

Plus the Emperor didn't get the chance to correct this error.

Why are you just now bringing up Lightning Claws?
They're wargear not body growths.

The Black Dragons have Bone Blades that grow from their bodies.

And before he Adamantium bonded with his Skeleton, Logan had Bone Claws as part of his skeleton.

And why don't you name these points?

Because as far as I know all your points were addressed by either myself or others.

Yet if you believe differently you really should speak up and say which were missed or ignored.

The claws are unique, to Logan.
The other Wolverines (Daken, X-23, etc) have some variation on them.

I know this as I was big into comics.
So forgive for knowing more about them than you.

I also know Space Wolves don't have those claws, with Black Dragons being a whole lot closer to them.

I'd love to see him in a Marvel production.

I can just see him playing Sid Ridley, the cantankerous, curmudgeonly, centenarian British Super Soldier.

He'd greet Bucky by saying "You owe me money!"

Well most isekai gender swap stories do have the protagonist adapting remarkably fast, so fast they might as well have been a girl all along as it makes no real difference to the story.

Personally I prefer stuff like Isekai Izakaya Nobu and Isekai Shokudou: Youshoku no Nekoya.

There's Tensei Kyuuketsuki-san wa Ohirune ga Shitai, and 'Life with an Ordinary Guy who Reincarnated into a Total Fantasy Knockout'.

That last one is interesting as you have two guys who get isekai'd and one gets turned into a very attractive girl.

And what about the stories where they gender-swap the protagonist, so they're now a cute girl.

Even if half the time they mean indentured servitude instead of slavery, it's still a terrible practice no one should be extolling.

Though there is a story of John Brown (yes, that John Brown) being isekai'd to a world with slavery.
