Poll: Can Wolverine Be Killed?

[Snowalker]

Decapitation.

If it can stop Deadpool, it will stop Wolverine

When has decapitation stopped Deadpool?

Its true, I have read that when he is decapitated, he can't regenerate a new head or a new body, it takes for someone to physically put it on his body for him to regenerate

Correct, but he's not dead, he's a vegetable at that point. I also saw in one comic he grabbed his own head and put it on himself.

Well apart from that bit ( I mean writers can be total idiots) for all intensive purposes, he is dead.

Mainly because he can't be 'rescued' by his Mistress Death

Technicalities, technicalities, He's alive but basically dead. so this leaves the ultimate question. If death does not accept him, Can he be killed 100%?

 

[Dr. Odd]

Flamethrower or disintegration power or anything that destroys flesh.. acid... there's lots of ways he could die. His skull would stop most anything from destroying his brain, but if they made a shot through his eyesocket, he'd be done.

I repeat, he has been shot in the head, through the brain. He has survived. Flamethrower? Please. As long as it can't doesn?t destroy adamentium, which nothing can, his bones would survive, and he should regenerate. I know, it sounds stupid, and I don't necessarily agree with it, but that's the way the character works right now. Wolverine, according to marvel, can survive virtually anything, except a falling out with the public. If people start hating Wolverine, Wolverine will die, but as longs as his comic books still sell, he can and will survive anything. ANYTHING.

gentlemen as much as i love to see you all flex your imagination about how to kill this guy there are a few simple ways
1. drown him- how can a healing factor save you from oxygen depravation?
2. according to "lady deathstrike" when the adamantium bonded to his bones there was a a bit of his skeleton that was not covered if the said part was pierced his entire nervous system would shut down.

P.S a sniper round to the head would not kill him. even if it hit his brain it would grow back though he may have memory loss (yes this happened in the film i am aware of this but its happened in a couple of comics too i just can't recall which ones).

 

[UberCharlie]

Since I'm sure some folks are not pleased with the basic methods of death, let's go a bit more extreme. Drop his ass in a pit of lava. Toss him into space. I can't quite remember the source, but one of my favorite quotes is, "When in doubt, toss them into space."

Anyone can be killed. Except Doctor Manhattan, but he's pretty much a god so that doesn't count. But yes, Wolverine can be killed. Not even his fast healing ability will save him from a sniper shot to the head...

That's where his extra-strong-bullet-stopping adamantium sceleton comes in i presume

NO, NO, NO with a capital N (and O).   His bones are unbreakable, his organs replaceable-- and if I'm not mistaken, once he and Sabertooth were locked in combat so long that he was reduced to a charred, stained, adamantium skeleton-- and he was STILL beating the crap out of that guy.NO.

He's still only human. A mutated human who can heal quickly and has an adamantium skeleton, true, but still human. Hence if he's reduced to nothing but skeleton then he will die. Nothing you say can change that. As for the skeleton itself, just because it's been bonded with adamantium doesn't mean it's unbreakable. Here's a quote for you:

While often referred to as indestructible or unbreakable, it is possible for it to be destroyed through very specific circumstances. True adamantium can be destroyed through very precise molecular rearrangement, such as being altered by Thanos while wearing the Infinity Gauntlet.[3] True adamantium's molecular structure can also be altered by Antarctic vibranium, also known as anti-metal, as it has the capability to liquify all known metallic substances, including adamantium.

See? I've managed to shoot down both arguments there. Plus, did any of you know that in a human head there's a bit at the back of the head where there's no skull protection? Feel the back of your head and you'll notice it. I know because I used that same fact in a screenplay I wrote a while ago. Anyway, a sword or knife through the brain using that entry point, and all the adamantium in the world won't save Wolverine from a painful death.So there. I win.

You're an idiot. I proposed the 'reduced to zero' thing early on the thread, and i was arguing ONLY about the bulled in the head argument. ALSO there is no hole in the back of the head. When human is born there is a hole in the FOREHEAD witch closes within few months.So there. You lose

nothing even not wolvering survibes acid wich seperates the adamentium molocules and EVEN OSIDIAN WITCH PRULY EXCISTES

 

[Arionis]

No one in the x-men universe can ever die. no matter how much it seems like yes this person is truly dead for real this time, they are not. For a superhero and super villains greatest power of all is that of Retcon. No given continuity is so powerful that it can't be altered through retcon.

Drown him. That or show him X Men Origins.

I made a funny.

When has decapitation stopped Deadpool?

Never, that's when. He's been decapitated before. But it "stopped"(didn't kill, just stopped) him in the movie.

What is your obsession with snipers?
As soon as the bullet is removed from his head the brain would regenerate. In it's regeneration it may even push the bullet out.

As has been said it's only removal of the healing factor, either by power absorption or the Murasma blade, or destruction of every cell at once.

 

[TundraWolf]

To all those who mentioned disintegration, he actually does get disintegrated in one of the comics, during the Civil War storyline. He's chasing down a guy named Nitro, whose power is that he can explode himself with the intensity of a nuclear bomb and then reassemble himself afterwards. Wolverine is standing directly next to him when it goes off, and his entire body is vaporized. And he still manages to grow his entire body back, brain and all, around his adamantium skeleton and finish Nitro off.

Take of that what you will.

Having said that, there's a few people that could kill Wolverine. Ghost Rider, if he used his Penance Stare on him (Wolverine has killed an uncountable number of people, and has inflicted so much pain on so many people, I can't imagine he would be able to survive). If Magneto teamed up with someone powerful (say, Dark Phoenix) could rip the skeleton right out of his body and then finish him off. And so on and so forth. There's many different possibilities to kill Wolverine, but the simple reason that he is loved and adored by so many people will keep him alive forever.

Man, I feel like a nerd...

Sorry, my friend. Deadpool can't be killed. Literally. Death cursed him with the power of immortality - in every way. He regenerates faster when he gets more damage - that's why Squirrel Girl defeated him, because she was scratching him - not much of a wound. But in a long battle with everyone slashing him, chopping and so on... Someone called him even "The Energizer Bunny".

Oh, and he has already lost a hand, head or other parts of the body. Unless someone throws him into a meat grinder, incinerate the ashes and throw them one by one, no closer than a milimeter next to each other... He can't be killed.

About the lack of oxygen - I think he would suffer the same pain as the Immortal Man from Heroes (how was that British samurai called? I forgot) - he couldn't die, but he was constantly suffocating to death. That's worse than death.

 

[Jimmyjames]

I'm sorry, you're all wrong. The correct answer is, "Who gives a fuck?"

 

[Stassler]

there's some issue of the ultimate x-men or something in which the hulk rips him in two. so yeah, he can die.

 

[this_was_a_mistake]

Old age?

 

[ThreeWords]

I'm sorry, you're all wrong. The correct answer is, "Who gives a fuck?"

After due consideration I have to agree

Also, off topic, what's up with your title? Did you earn it specially?

 

[Same River New Water]

If he is decapitated he will die. There can be only one.

cut his head off with a adamantium katana

Decapitation.

Wolverine wouldn't have much of a chance against the Hulk.

The Ultimate version of Wolverine was torn in half by The Hulk, THEN had his head cut off AND was shot in the head by Nick Fury...

there's some issue of the ultimate x-men or something in which the hulk rips him in two. so yeah, he can die.

...but he survived:

When has decapitation stopped Deadpool?

Is he thinking of the movie? Because in some adaptions of the movie he actually survives.
A scene after the credits shows him picking up his own head.

But on topic, surely if you destroy all his cells, he has nothing to regenerate from?

But, i'm going of only movies and TV shows, not the comics.
