How to Kill Wolverine

FadingCB said:
1. Far as I remember, didn't a nuke create Maestro, by evolving the hulk, the same nuke that killed everyone else, also apparently Abomination and She-hulk evolved in it too making She-Hulk Shulkie. Also what "Killed" Maestro was a gamma bomb wasn't it? Not a nuke. Second pretty sure Maestro's still alive since he was seen fighting Capt. Marvel and Spiderman later on after his 'death'. I am not totally ignorant lol. Also if I remember right Wolverine wasn't hit with a flat out nuke, just a big bomb. It may have mushroom clouded, but don't think it was radioactive, that bomb was contained in a forest if I'm right, a nuke is far larger of an impact. It's like comparing a gun with a rocket launcher IMO.

2. Maybe so, but after this post someone else made a suspension of disbelief post purely on Wolverine in a world of mutant machines from space using cosmic powers lol.

3. There's a difference from Marvel beefing up all characters, and one character going gay. If character A gets more powerful and used to brawl with character B, then Character B gets more powerful and Character C who fought with both stays stagnent, then those stories can't happen. Hulk continually upgrades, Spiderman went under two upgrades himself, with Civil war coming up and characters like Thor coming back, if Wolverine doesn't have something upped then he can't be more than a cheerleader in the story since he probably couldn't keep up with the constant upgrades others have had.

Wolverine's their most popular, or second most popular character and they want him as a big player finally. They made a mistake in the way they wrote it and probably took his sudden upgrade to disgusting heights, but in Marvel's eyes this must be what they want. They write the comics, and while I prefer a more human Wolverine it's not like he's bench pressing planets. This was pretty out there, but is it really more out there than characters ripping portals thru space and time with pure strength, or Spiderman growing back eyes and evolving twice, and growing stingers...last time I checked Spiderman can't grow eyeballs, and can't regen body parts. Unless I missed some 'explanation' as to why he did it.

BTW I know your tired of hearing it but Wolverine will die when Marvel is ready for it. He may be 'unkillable' in your eyes, but a future writer will snuff him out when the time comes. I like a Wolverine in peril, but he's heading the way all Marvel comics main characters have already started heading, I think it's a bad move, but he's not the only one. His powers just happen to deal with regeneration, if he was superstrengthed he probably would have been seen lifting something it'd take the hulk to do in that panel.


Well said

And there's also a difference between giving a character an upgrade and making him flat out immortal.



Captain America didn't get any upgrades and he doesn't have handy healing powers that let him recover from fatal injuries. All he has are his shield and skills and he is still keeping up.

So if someone with like 100 years of experience, extensive martial arts training, an indestructible adamantium skeleton and a healing factor that lets him survive the most fatal of injuries, does require a upgrade so he's able to "keep up", then he must have sucked as a character in general.


Cap has been getting "soft" upgrades since the 90's
 
What if you just tossed Logan into the Sun??!! I'd like to see Wolvie regenerate from that.
 
There's various ways to kill him and most times when they have him tied down and want to kill him they just act like idiots and he gets loose.

Drown him and keep him under for a few hours and if he's not dead then he'll be brain dead from oxygen starvation.

Cut off his head, if you have him captured then hold him in place and hold the head as well, use a laser or something and cut between the vertebrae until you get all the way through, remove head, all done.

Or just do what they did in Rising Stars with the invulnerable guy, tape his arms down and tape a plastic bag on his head and just walk away.
 
How to Kill Wolverine:

1. Give Axel Alonso the EiC job
2. Overexpose the character
3. Have a DC writer do a boring, 90's-tastic run on the main book
4. Wait for hostility to build toward the character because of said overexposure
5. Kill him off in a story that you don't even try to make a surprise, but still expect people to care about
6. Resurrect him in some overly convoluted, and probably silly, way
7. Repeat.
 
Make him watch any of the Fantastic Four movies... especially the one about to come out. That'll at least kill his soul.
