    I wouldn’t know what I was trying to do in the first place, let alone be able to forget it. I’ve never had a single lesson in any martial art of self-defence class.

    Being 6’2” and varying between 200lbs and 220lbs has probably always helped me to avoid fights though, since I’ve never actually been in one.

    You have the intimidation aura of a Swan.

    Truly a duck to be feared.
    Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

    Well, his annual birthday treat comes from Jetpack Sabretooth, so yeah… he really does.

    His son’s tried to kill him, he killed his own dad, and some of the people he most cares about are i) the son of a demon and a psychopath, ii) the brother of a semi-demon and a psychopath, iii) a vampire, iv) somebody else’s wife with a revolving door to death and who just happens to be a regular host to a deranged psychic god who destroyed a whole star system.

    Yup.

    Pain must feel like a warm hug.

    A warm 'bub' perhaps?

    Well, there's always Deadpool, but I think that's a one-way relationship.

    Well, he and DP are on better terms these days. And Logan is good pals with Peter and Steve.

    When Logan is drinking his coffee that is two coffees, he often accompanies it with a pain au chocolat. Emphasis on the pain.

    Which makes him a cultured person... he isn't calling it a chocolatine.

    Absolutely on both points. I mean, there are MMA dudes who have shown that yeah, high kicks can work. But it takes a lot of training and practice, and being good at setting them up. Which is experience.

    Otherwise, low stuff. Which for me is good - I was never a good kicker ANYWAY, so my kicking will always tend to be thighs, knee, ankle, lower abdomen at the highest.

    You're a big fellow, that's true, around the size of people in my old school.

    I'm a little guy by comparison (which you know). ^_^

    ...I did clock someone in the head with a crescent kick once, but they were shorter than me (a rarity in my old school) and it's a punch-range sneaky kick I wouldn't try on a big person. ^_^

    Yeah, but you could kick my ass from here to… umm… somewhere else.

    A handgun is much smaller than a broadsword, but I know which I’d rather have in a fight.

    If I knew how to use one.

    Size is a great leveler. A little training, you'd be a contender. *insert training montage and music here*

    Would agree with you on the handgun/broadsword idea (for anything not involving "inside 20' and gun still holstered").
