I don't think Logan would fare well patrolling Manhattan by himself. Unlike Pete, he doesn't have webs, or any other means of fast transportation. If a major crime is going down somewhere, the only way he can get to it is by running. He might be able to run along the rooftops to adhere to the superhero style, but he wouldn't be able to go too far before running out of evenly-elevated rooftops. Or maybe he could take a taxi to the crime scene. Point is, if Logan wants to do the superhero gig, he has to be on a team with a jet, or at least find himself a jetpack or extendable cable or something. Not true. How many times have you seen Wolverine even use X-Men or Avengers resources to loop the world several times over in his own title? And again, as I already stated, Wolverine fights differently than Spider-Man. Spider-Man stops the crime from happening. Wolverine prevents it from happening ever again. To reiterate, this is not a "Can Wolverine fight Spider-Man villains the way Spider-Man does?". Half the time, Spider-Man just runs into his villians on his routine web-swinging routes. His meetings with villains, both old and new, is often completely random and unplanned by either of them. Since Wolverine can't patrol the city nearly as efficiently as Spider-Man can, he has far less of a chance of having an encounter with any villians at all. Yes, Wolverine could hunt a lot of them down. Those of them who stay in Manhattan full time, that is. But only a fraction of Spider-Man's fights are with villians whom he knows and who can be tracked down. A lot of them are just random encounters with new baddies. Wolverine can't travel fast enough to get a chance encounter with those guys, and he wouldn't even know he should be hunting them down (sinc he missed his chance encounter with them).

If adopts that style of crimefighting in New York he'll run afoul of Avengers, the FF, and any number of New York city heroes. He only gets away with murder when he does it against small towns. Frank Castle is the only successful in his killing spree because he isn't fighting people like Osborn or Fisk. If he starts offing prominent businessmen and philanthropists in the middle of New York, he'll quickly be hunted down by the good guys. I know he won't fight Spidey's villains like Spider-man but he still has to fight them and when it comes down to it, they have him sorely outclassed. Spider-man is peak street level and even he has difficulty with his own villains. Wolverine is a mid-tier street leveler at best. Unless he expands his weaponry like Frank did, he won't be able to compete. I would love to hear how he might take down people like Electro, Sandman, and Hydro-Man. Adopts? Not true. Wolverine kills people all the time in New York. It is his thing more than any other hero and always has been. In fact, he met his current girlfriend by killing a mugger, to which he told her "Just let the cops know it was the guy with the claws". Wolverine cuts down baddies all the time and gets a free pass on it. Sandman - Water. Electro - Eh. If punches can take him out, getting his head cut off can as well. Hydro-Man - Chemicals or cut power lines.

I do not know why you think Wolverine has to be at the scene of the crime, during the crime to do anything about it. If he gets the scent (he will) there is nowhere they can hide unless they are able to cover their own trail due to super means of travel. Random baddies does not mean teleporting to safety. In fact, it likely means they have low level powers or none at all. In which case, they are screwed. Wolverine would know who to hunt because he can go to the crime scene (it is not like it would disappear) and pick up their scent. Then we circle back to the screwed bad guy point.

You do realize that Current Electro would make Logan his B**** right?

As long as he can access electricity. He tires very easily.
mid-90s Electro was the one to really watch out for.

You know as well as I do that time period is important when it comes to Electro. So stop playing innocent with me.

Considering the amount of times we've seen current Electro get punched, I doubt it would be too difficult for Wolverine to gut him

I agree. It's just a matter on if Electro can fry him before he closes the gap, or he begins to lose power.

Agreed, but we know anything he dishes out Wolverine will eventually recover from. Also, I'd say Wolverine has a rather massive stealth advantage over Electro (assuming it's not a random encounter in a street).

I presume we were referring in a straightforward fight.
Recover eventually, sure, but a KO isn't out of the question.

Of course it isn't, but if we're viewing this scenario as how Wolverine would handle being in Spider-Man's shoes (so to speak) for the long run, I think it's fair to say Electro will eventually meet his end.

He could steal Deadpool's teleporter and have one of the X-men fix it...

Teleporting doesn't really seem Logan's style, but then again with a city to protect and new enemies to fight he may adopt such gear for a more effective crimefighting method. Thing is Wolverine and Spider-man are different because Wolverine isn't really primarily a crimefighter.

Thing is Wolverine and Spider-man are different because Wolverine isn't really primarily a crimefighter. I honestly do not see him needing or wanting any fancy tech. Motorcycle and hunting his enemies will likely satisfy him just fine. That's what I said. Honestly given his personality I believe a motorcycle would be a very efficient and effective mode of transport.
