The extremes and sheer scale is in itself is more than enough to make him warrant a type V rating for Wolverine. He is definitely far more extreme, bloodthirsty, and less compassionate than Vendetta. Could you \'\'seriously\'\' see him giving a genocide camp worker who performed torture on him a \'\'painless\' death? It is also worth noting his background moments for highlight. Hence, your current listing of him somehow strictly in-between types III and IV, does not make sense to me in the context that far less extreme characters get higher ratings.

He is also definitely far more extreme, bloodthirsty, and less compassionate than Vendetta. Could you \\\'\\\'seriously\\\'\\\' see him giving a genocide camp worker who performed torture on him a \\\'\\\'painless\\\' death? His own comparison when a Yakuza mob boss killed his to-be-wife was to gradually cut off his body parts over the span of several years (while, you know, also leaving said yakuza free to victimise a few thousand people in the meantime). It is also worth noting his background moments for highlight. Hence, your current listing of Wolverine as strictly in-between types III and IV, does not make sense to me in the context that far less extreme characters get higher ratings.

There also seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding regarding the nature of a VillainProtagonist and an AntiHero type V. Basically the latter category is very frequently the former without giving emphasis to that point, either through a HandWave, other story points in the way of attention, RuleOfCool, MagnificentBastard, or even because the writer does not consider the character as such, even if it doesn\\\'t make sense.

Wolvering has a long long history of being a PsychoForHire mercenary or government agent. More recently he hasn\'t really particularly changed his nature, simply mellowed out and been aimed in another direction.
