Wow, awesome battle idea. Lets see...

Melee-Mercer, the reason I say this is due to a better arsenal in close range fighting. I know wolverine had the adamantium bones and the claws to match, but somehow the fact mercer had hulk like fists which crush everything he hits to a bloody mess, the claws that match wolverines, and have a ranged attack to them as well, and the sword arm thing, which can tear through tanks, helicopters, monsters, buildings, and ect... like butter makes me believe Mercer has an advantage. The reason Mercer wins here (in my opinion) is because he has more options. More options, a vast arsenal for many situations, eventually your going to pull the winning rabbit out of your hat.

Medium/long-Mercer, Wolverine is a beast in close quarters, but simply has NO ranged combat abilities. This puts him at a distict disadvantage against someone who does, and whos ranged abilities are typically 1-hit kills.

SuperHuman Abilities-Mercer, The only reason mercy wins in this catagory, is because, just like with close range, he has that vast arsenal. He can match every one of Wolverines abilities and then some. While he may not be as physically durrable as Wolverine, he has an amazing amount of speed and agility which would help him deal with that weakness. The superhuman healing is almost matched on both as well, and if like you said above Wolverine is hunting Mercer, and Mercer knows it, he wouldn't be too far away from any place he could find a quick "snack" to heal himself quicker.

Added note. Mercer has the same problem as Wolverine, that most people ignore/don't notice, which is, as long as a single piece of his exists, he will ALWAYS, come back. However, when he consumes someone, he takes ALL of them in the process, which would eliminate Wolverines ability to regenerate, as he would have been "joined" with Mercer before he would be able.

Overall, logically, I give my edge to the God like Mercer.
