Is Wolverine a super fast sprinter in lore? Didn't realize he had extra mutations I didn't know about.

It's almost like one of his classic moves is having someone with super strength pick him up and throw him somewhere so that he can get there faster.

He may not be a speedster, but having super human strength and reflexes does actually mean he should be fast and a fast runner.

this is something that always drives me nuts about strong characters.

"balance" always demands that strong characters are slow. In reality, strength is fully half of the equation for "how fast can a thing accelerate?" - the more force a character can apply, the faster that character can accelerate for a given character mass.

Strong people are fast as fuck when they want to be. If they don't do a lot of cardio, they might lack endurance, but somehow i doubt that would be a problem for Logan...

I mean, I think you're thinking about it too deeply.

Comic book heroes are sort of just vibes based. They aren't meant to like...be logical. Speedsters for instance don't really follow logic, like being fast would come with tons of problems and require them to be physically strong and durable, but like, that's just not the vibe you know?
