For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. So why didn't Cyke's head shoot backwards off his shoulders the first time he fired an optic blast?

Cuz the energy doesn't actually come out of his head, his eyes just are the opening of a dimensional whoseiwhatsit that expels energy in one direction. I think thats how they explained that.

Because he can. The force is not coming from his head. It has been said on numerous occasions that the optic blasts are extra dimensional in nature. His eyes may just be opening up a window into a dimension of pure concussive force and the blast come from the "window".

Hahaha, not in the Marvel U there isn't. Hell, not in DCU either. Or Vertigo, or Image, or Dark Horse, etc.

If that happen in Marvel Universe when Wolverin stab something harder than his muscles and tendons his claws would cut them of instead of cutting the harder surface.

I'll never understand how people get caught up in the semantical physics of things like this, when there are people like Doctor Strange out there...

Yes. Yes he is. However, the physics behind his magic is very complex, I'm afraid.

Why doesn't Giant-Man break every bone in his body when he falls when he is large?
How does Cap's shield come back to him after he throws it?
Why doesn't Wolverine's claws rip out of the top of his hands when he cuts through denser metals?


Answer: Fiction

The REAL question is this: How does Wolverine use his claws to climb, when they should just shred right through whatever he sticks them in?

Maybe he sticks them in the wall sideways.

"Physics behind his magic..."
How can those words even be used in the same sentence?

I'm telling you, they are catching on. By this time next year, everyone who's anyone will be on the bandwagon.

that would be assuming wolverine's claws aren't out all the way. if his claws continue to be claws up into his arms and so forth then he shouldnt be able to move his wrists at all when his claws are out. however if they are out fully of his hands they could have some sort of broader end that would just be held in by the rest of his adamantium skeleton. this way his entire skeleton would have to come out if he were cutting on something harder than his muscles... which i guess doesnt really answer anything.

simple answer.. nothing is stronger than his muscles... because... of his healing factor... i guess....

Nothing is stronger than is muscles because HE'S THE MOTHER ****ING WOLVERINE. Which, as most people agree, is the next best thing to being THE MOTHER ****ING BATMAN.
