How to Kill Wolverine

[ScarletSpider]

I love the character, but really hate how they've pushed his powers so far.

I think it'd be great if someone used the cure (not the band, I'm talking about the mutant cure seen in Astonishing) as a weapon against Wolvie, but his healing factor fights it, due to this his healing powers become severely weakened and more similar to those of his earlier days. That way Wolverine can't run head first into machine gun fire.. or nukes (ugh) without a care in the world, and actually has to use his wits for once..

In other news that bit of Superman posted earlier in the thread is so horribly lame, and Wolverine would kick Jesus' ass.

Writers should be careful of what they put into paper, I mean, being able to regenerate from a charred skeleton is nice and makes the character look all types of cool for 0.68 seconds but OTOH, it automatically destroys any real threat to him.

Perhaps they're trying to market Wolverine towards Superman fans?

 

[SouLeSS]

You can't kill Wolverine. Because Marvel would instanly lose half of it's books.

 

[Eros]

you could always just cut off his head, and in some cases deprive him of oxygen. Or they could hire a god writer, and make Wolverine a lesse uber character again.

 

[SouLeSS]

He's come back from complete obliteration, and has walked underwater halfway across the world.

 

[SLVRSR4]

The only way to kill him would have to be through magic or stealing his soul it's the only plausible comic way

 

[Artistsean]

Didn't Wolverin die once or twice? I thought Apocalypse brought him back to life as Death. And I remember a comic called "The Death of Wolverine"
The cover was his spirit floating above his dead head, and I think inside was his funeral.

 

[Slim31]

Chuck Norris will find a way.

 

[kainedamo]

UGH!! This is ****ing rediculous. So Wolverine was blown up and nothing but skeleton was left, and he still lived?? This was in a recent issue of Wolverine??

How can you guys continue to buy that crap?

Wolverine isn't THAT powerful!! **** me. Even Hulk can't heal back from nothing but skeleton, and Hulk's healing is crap loads better than Wolverine's. What terrible writing. The writer should be fired. His script should never have been approved.

Stop. Buying. Wolverine.

The fact is, there are many ways to kill Wolverine. Completely disentigrating him down to the bone should be one of them. Drowning is another. Suffocation too. I believe Wolverine's heart was made to explode in Secret Wars or something. He should not be able to come back from that.

They have ruined Wolverine by making him way too powerful.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Actually, Hulk did regenerate from almost that in The End.

Ways (pre-2000):

Removal of oxygen.
Decapitation.
Complete elimination of all organic parts.

 

[Horrorfan]

Get a bunch of whiney haters to write his comic

Daredevil and Spider-man are interesting because they may be able to do this, that and those, but on the other hand they can die at any moment if they play the wrong cards.

Wolverine can´t die, so instead of kicking ninja arse before they kick his like he used to, now he can just sit there and let the entire Hand slice him to bits with their catanas because he´ll come back for more.

Lame.

But to be fair, do you EVER honestly think spiderman or daredevil is in danger, knowing marvel would never kill them off?


I do agree that wolverine's powers have been pushed too far if he regenerates from almost nothing (when did this happen by the way? what issue and date?) and I love the guy, but lets face it, we know that daredevil and spidey will never die either.

A lot of writers don't understand Wolverine's powers. Deadpool regenerates, Wolverine heals. There is a difference. Deadpool, no matter what you do to him can grow back to his original state. Wolverine on the other hand cannot regrow any dead or completely destroyed tissue a normal human could not regrow given a longer period of time. If he loses an arm for example, that arm is gone for good. Also Wolverine cannot regenerate vital tissue, if you damage a vital tissue to the point it would kill a normal human that would kill Wolverine. Losing his brain or severe damage to his heart would kill him.

 

[U.S War Machine]

He'll never die...

 

[Elijya]

Oh, and this is probably gonna annoy people as it has been asked before but I remember an issue of Spider-man where he said he had worked out a way to kill the Hulk but I don't remember reading anymore that that.

it was during the original Morlun arc that he said that

 

[ang_hulk]

Prof x came up with a way.He said seperating his body into parts,taking his head somewhere and melting it down then smelting his skeleton was the only way.

And some tissue doesn´t heal at all.

The human nerve and brain cells do not heal, the ones you have by the time you reach adulthood are the exact same ones you take to your grave. So, cherish them because if you happen to fry a couple thousand brain cells listening to too much techno, guess what, those cells are gone, The End.

If you lose the brain cells where you stored the memory of Patty Sue´s knickers, that memory is gone.
Even if by some stem cell miracle they discover a way to regrow brain cells, you can´t regrow the information inside them.
Stuff like reading and driving a car are all things you learn, not things you have imprinted in your DNA.

Even if a guy can regrow his entire body from the marrow inside his adamantium-coated bones >coughbull****<, his memories are gone and so is the original person and personality.

 

[Elijya]

you want to know how to kill wolverine? I'll tell you

you put an automatic weapon right under his chin, and you unload it. You FILL his unbreakable skull with lead

what, is his brain going to regrow in his chest?

 

[SouLeSS]

Marvel would find a way to explain it.

Couldn't his brain regrow and just force all of the bullets right back out under his chin, where you put them in to begin with? There are holes in every skull, unbreakable ones included.

It's not so much the death but the threat of it. Those other heroes still get jurt and have to deal with broken arms and ribs and stuff; Wolverine doesn't. Now there's not even the threat that some catastrophic damage to his body will kill him after surviving Nitro's explosion. It's like other people have said, he won't even need skill because if he gets hit it doesn't matter. It gets boring after a while.

 

[Artistsean]

Well, that´s only one reason why I despise Superman.

The other is this:

What a $%#& boyscout!

sorry to be off topic, but what comic book was this from?

 

[ShadowBoxing]

DareDevil thought of a constructive way to defeat Wolverine. Crush his windpipe. No air, no healing factor...took him a while to bounce back from that.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

You could probably also drown him. Unless his healing factor has advanced to the stage of the Hulk's, I don't think he'll spontaneously grow gills.

But there is no threat of death since they will never die.
