** A later issue of Lobo's own comic implied that he was ''paid'' to throw the fight, which ''is'' in-character for him while also nicely avoiding an outright denial.

** The same series also had Wolverine's X-Men teammate Storm hand a smack-down to [[Wonder Woman]], which seemed more than a little unlikely to many objective observers; however, ''X-Men'' were selling better than Wonder Woman at the time.

*** Context on the above fight; Storm did not win by keeping the fight at range and spamming typhoons at Diana until she fell over, which would have at least made some kind of sense. Diana was able to make it to melee range and successfully connect with a kick to Storm's head, ''and Storm still stayed conscious''. When a woman with the damage resistance of an ordinary athletic human being takes a direct shot in melee from a woman who hits hard enough that she can put Superman through a wall, and its a [[No Sell]], that is bullshit of the highest degree.

*** Furthermore, Diana was defeated in the end by trying to block one of Storm's lightning bolts with her wrist bracelets, and instead had the electricity conducted into her by the metal bracelets. The problem with that: In canon, Diana's bracelets are non-conductive to energy, and have successfully blocked things like Superman's heat vision and Zeus' own lightning bolts.

** In his recent "Brainwashed by Hydra" arc, Wolverine takes on the like of Namor, the [[Fantastic Four]], and [[Stan Lee]] knows [[Wolverine Publicity|how many others]], without getting beaten or captured once.
