What can reliably kill wolverine?

Post by MKSheppard »

I'm reading a Marvel Knights Punny Wolverine cross over, and Wolverine takes a crossbow through the head, and five minutes later is walking around; likewise, he gets elventy billion bullets pumped into him from automatic weapons, and is moving minutes later.

I know that burning all the flesh from his body works, or electrocuting him works, but are there any other methods?

Removing his head and keeping it far enough away from his body for long enough apparently does the trick.

But oddly enough ripping him in half ala Ultimate Hulk vs. Wolverine is not enough trauma for Logan to recover from.

From the Nitro example, fully wanked Wolverine can now regenerate from a small collection of cells, possibly from one single cell, reminds me of when his healing factor was cosmically charged in one of the Annuals, I guess he no longer needs the crystal after having the adamantium taken out, put back in, replaced with butter, melted down and stuffed with crab cakes, vacuum pumped out and filled with sawdust and finally being replaced with super duper adamantium

He flew through a frakking star with Phoenix and had all the flesh burned off his body too. Then regenerated from it. :?

I rolled my eyes when I heard about that too. Do these comic writers even THINK about the implications when they endlessly wank up their characters over the years?

How is Wolverine EVER going to be put in a life or death situation again? What can someone like Sabretooth do to him? Give him some nasty cuts? Rip his internal organs out? That's not enough anymore. :roll:

I heard that in some recent issues of Wolverine, they actually made the wank of regenerating from his skeleton (brain and everything else destroyed) a plot point. Some kind of "explanation" as to where Wolverine's "soul" goes when his brain is fried to a crisp. Is there anybody who has read this crap, and can explain it for me?

Yeah, I'd say 'absolutely nothing'. Wolverine's healing power - like Punisher's badassedness - only hits limits when an author says so. There is no real way of predicting what that will be.

Also I hear Wolverine is a ninja. I heard about that plot, and I think it's *worse*. Healing is a part of Wolverine that got worse - what genius said 'yeah and he's also a ninja now lol'?

After thinking about this at work one day, and debating with a friend by email, we concluded that dumping him into a pot of molten metal, giving the metal a good stir, then cooling the metal right down fast to solidify it very quickly was the best idea.

Sure he can maybe regenerate from his bones (Which I guess would survive intact) - but can he regenerate when his bones are encased in ~ 100 tonnes of solid iron?

Something about him fighting a battle in the afterlife.

As for how he can be threatened Wolverine Origins recently introduced a sword that can kill him (because it's so sharp or something stupid like that) and some chemical that retards his healing factor substantially.

In Not Dead Yet it was stated that a high-velocity adamantium bullet fired into his skull would have killed him, but that was way back before his healing factor reached ludicrous levels.

His soul goes to limbo while his body regenerates and he fights some guy he killed, can't remember the name. Laezer or something. If Wolverine loses, he dies for good and get's to go heaven. If he wins, he gets sent back to his body once it's healed up.

Seriously.

So basically Wolverine can now only be taken down for good by his own personal Kryptonite?

There's always the simple ways. Logan still needs to breathe, even if his lung capacity is greatly enhanced. Drowning or asphyxiating him should suffice (of course, given how they've wanked him lately, even THOSE may not work).

Problem is he can regenerate from being dead. He can regenerate from being BONES. This is why taking it from 'healing factor' (a term I despise) to 'oh yeah he just GROWS IT BACK' was a terrible idea.

Nuclear bomb dropped on him?

In Days of Future Past he was killed by a sentinel that hit him with some beam weapon that left a smoking adamantium skeleton.

Bah, just toss/teleport him into space. Even if he's not dead, he's not achieving much either.

Majin Gojira statement had the implicit and leave him there on the end of it. He sure as fuck isnt going to be climbing out of the Sun's gravity well unassisted.

Yeah, but flying through a star and falling to the core of the star are different things. He would need some retarded invincibility against the constant vast bombardment of energy and pressure.

Drop him into a black hole. I doubt being turned into a thin stream of degenerate subatomic matter is something he could easily bounce back from.
