Personally I've always thought that Forge's powers were the coolest. But that's probably because I'm a bit weird.

Let's see -
Forge - had a cool robot hand, could build a tank out of crisp packets like the A Team, boned Storm
Cypher - could speak Estruscan and boned Warlock
I would say Forge, though it was quite interesting to have Cypher as a superhero with a superpower that is absolutely no good in a Fite

COMIC URBAN LEGEND: Wolverine was initially intended to be a genetically mutated wolverine.
STATUS: True
Initially, not only was Wolverine to be a mutated Wolverine, he was also supposed to be a teenager, just like the rest of the X-Men! It wasn't until Dave Cockrum first drew Wolverine without a mask that everyone realized that Wolverine was not as young as the other X-Men. Said Wein, at the time, "You just put thirty years on that guy."
In addition, according to Len Wein, “The adamantium claws were [only] in the gloves when I first created the character. And the claws were retractable. They were telescoping, and they would fit back in the casing of the gloves.”
As for the "mutated Wolverine" part, check out X-Men #98. A technician gets a reading on Wolverine that suggests he is not a full-fledged mutant. This was because Wein's initial intentions were to make Wolverine an evolved wolverine, courtesy of the High Evolutionary.
Chris Claremont soon took over writing the book full-time, and he went his own way with the character, but imagine...what could have been?!?

EXILES #85 - We're now firmly into the stories Tom Bedard is writing while he waits for Chris Claremont to recover and take over the book, but kudos for a premise so gloriously ridiculous that you've got to admire the sheer nerve. Having sacked the Exiles last issue, the Timebreakers introduce the new, improved team - all-new and all-Wolverine. After all, if Wolverine is great, six of him have got to be even better. Walking a fine line between sheer silliness and actually having a proper story, this is tremendous fun. A-
WOLVERINE #45 - God, I love this storyline. It's got all the playful absurdity of "Enemy of the State" without the grinding cynicism. This issue: Wolverine in underwater armour! With claws! You either get it and roll with the absurdity, or you don't and you'll hate it with a passion. Emphatically not for anyone who thinks Wolverine stories should be taken particularly seriously, but so cheerfully nonsensical that I can't help but smile. And when they stop for a couple of panels to lecture Wolverine about his extremely inconsistent sense of honour, there are some fair points being made as well. A

I got the Wolverine & Nick Fury: Scorpio trade collection a while back. The main story is a graphic novel that Archie Goodwin and Howard Chaykin did in the 80s and it is a good story. It's a worthy sequel to the Steranko story. The few things Archie Goodwin wrote later in his career are all pretty good comic books.
The other two related tales are not quite as good and not written by Goodwin. The second story by Tom DeFalco with John Buscema also inking himself is a decent 80s Wolverine/Nick Fury adventure. Buscema inking himself just has a different look, smoother lines. The third tale is a sequel to the Goodwin story written by Chaykin with somewhat mismatched art by Shawn MacManus. It's not the best comic by either.

I feel like there was a more recent thread where Logan came up but with search down I can't find it so I found this with the google.
Saw Logan tonight, it is incredible. I vouched hard for the last Wolverine movie in some other thread (the one in Japan where he falls in love); never bothered with the first one which I heard was complete rubbish. But Logan is another level; certainly, by far, the best Xmen movie, and, if they choose for it to be such, a decent way to end the series. Jackman and Stewart are just great; the girl is great. The final scene is great. In the running for the best comics movie of all time.

I posted my review in the "Random Marvel Blabbery" thread... similar sentiments to yours!
(How painful was the Deadpool teaser that preceded it, though?)

Yeah it's possibly the best comic book film yet. Just leagues above the rest in so many ways. Also - Wolverine being Wolverine.

Prof. X is very much a Clowesian grump in this movie. Also bearderine looks disturbingly like Mel Gibson.
