So New X-Men Vol 1 115 gives a very weird stat for Wolverine, the speed of his claw ejection. 130 miles per hour, which is Subsonic.
If this is listed I'd probably need some calrification what to list it as, maybe Attack Speed?

Yeah wording that might be slightly harder but agreed. Seems fine

Seems like a weird low end, especially since his combat speed and reactions are usually much higher and he has ejected his claws in a way to stab foes with similar reactions.

Reacting to characters is one thing and the speed at which his claws comes out is different

I guess it’d be Attack Speed? Or maybe just list it as “claw ejection speed”.

There is a similar issue with characters who use guns, the stated speed of how this work should matter more while his combat speed and reactions remain the same.

Well, the issue here is that Marvel's official editorial position is that almost no Marvel characters are particularly fast in terms of punching or running speed, even though they recurrently fight characters who have some sort of considerable feats in this area, so it is just the usual extreme inconsistency at play, and I am not sure if a much lower number needs to be mentioned in any of our profile pages.
I am open for knowledgeable input though.

I mean this is a step at fixing it regardless though, no?

No, moreso that the MHS+ is essentially their high end reactions, and listing their other speeds helps dispel notion that their attack speeds and movement speeds randomly scale to said reactions.

Okay. I am not sure exactly what you mean though. My apologies.

Meh, actually before explaining further I realize I'd need to substantiate alot of stuff I bring up, so I tbink I'll just tackle this on a later date and speed as a whole, I feel wiki itself has multiple issues with how speed gets indexed across it (less with the standards, more with the application).
TL;DR Nvm I'll fix it later

Okay, should we close this thread then? It seems contradictory to list such a low speed in conjunction with Wolverine's regular speed statistic.

The way I see it, it's similar to how there are consistent statements to Lantern Rings producing "Pure Light stated to move at the speed of light" yet these are characters consistently Massively FTL+ including attack speed feats.
Generic firearm usage is a separate issue entirely as I have already stated for how most of those should be treated with some exceptions.
