Poll: Can Wolverine Be Killed?

[zauxz]

Ouh and ghost rider or proffesor X could kill him easilly.

 

[Dr. Odd]

Oh yeah, and he can die of old age, which may seem a little contradictory but that is what will probably happen at the end of the Old Man Logan story line. I know weird right?

 

[MrSnugglesworth]

Nuke right under him would incinerate everything. Even if it doesn't destroy his metal, all of his living tissue would be eradicated instantly.

I'm getting tired of the argument. It's been done. He survived. End of story.

 

[megapenguinx]

There was a comic where he was killed by a sentinel. All that was left of him was his skeleton. I dont know the name of the comic though.

I think that was Days of Future Past. Not 100% sure though. And yeah, Wolverine has died a few times. A better question is, who's harder to kill: Deadpool or Wolverine?

 

[ElegantSwordsman]

He can never die as long as he has the greatest power on his side... successful marketing. As long as his toys and games keep selling, he ain't going nowhere. Sure he may temporarily "die", but they'll bring him back through some hocus-pocus or bad writing

 

[Wisefox]

Yes. Magneto could rip him apart and stop his parts from getting close enough to each other to reform, possibly.

 

[Simalacrum]

2 words: Doctor Manhattan.

 

[Cmdrfrog]

How about drowning?

Thats actually an interestingly realistic and simplistic option. His powers arent "magical" they are biological, so starving them of oxygen should disable their ability to regenerate causing standard brain death in 12 +/- minutes. The vacuum of space should also do the trick..

I know, I was recently (Like, 5 seconds ago) told by a friend that he did. Sorry.

At some point in time in one of 10000+ Marvel universes the adamantium in Wolverine's body is stripped out. Oddly enough he still possesses the claws but they're made of bone. One of Dr. X's methods for dealing with him involved severing his head and locking it up in a box for well...ever. I believe it is also stated that if the head were reunited with the body he'd be able to heal from that.

Wolverine's power itself isn't just a "Oh look I heal quick guys" it's a "Oh look I'm regenerating lost tissue from NOTHING." He wouldn't have survived having MOLTEN adamantium injected into his body if destroying his organs could kill him. That includes even the brain.

Therefore I doubt anything short of sending him into the heart of a star will kill him. Putting him through a black hole however may turn him into a time traveling god. \o/

Deadpool can't die... Ever. He has the same power of regeneration, but he's also immortal. So, yeah. Deadpool.


Plus, I'll say it even though I know I'm about to get fanboy raped, Deadpool is the more dynamic and interesting character. At least in his most recent story arc.

It's cool. No worries.

 

[ZeroMachine]

If we talk with true biology, yes. He can.

Spoiler: X-Men Origins: Wolverine Spoiler

And he should have at the end of the movie when he was shot in the fucking brain.

Wolverine's ability is highly accelerated tissue regeneration. But, brain tissue does not regenerate, ever. Once your brain cells are dead, they're dead for good. So, all you would need to do would be one of three things:

A) Prevent him from breathing so oxygen doesn't get to his brain, i.e. drowning
B) Stop his heart for a certain amount of time, preventing blood from reaching his brain
C) Damage his brain with any outside force. Even if you don't crack his skull, hit it hard enough and his brain will turn to muk, and he'll die.

Oh, and just so people know, I love X-Men and although I think it was the worst X-Men movie out of the current generation of the, I enjoyed Origins. I just always get nit-picky about this stuff, even when I enjoy it.

 

[God's Clown]

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...

Pretty sure he got shot in the head point blank almost with a Magnum, and lived.

 

[psico666]

Theoreticaly, if Wolverines bones are fused with adamantium then a simple MRI machine could rip him apart. That is of course if you can get him in the damn thing.

 

[daribian]

Marvel did a glimpse into the future for a while and the only living x-man was gambit - so i guess yeah that does mean he can die.

Also I seem to remember magneto ripping the adamantium from his body at one point, so if he did that again and then set him on fire or sommet it is possible ^^

no even if magneto removed the adamantium from his body he wouldn't die, it is his cells that give him the ability to heal not the adamtium, plus it is stated that wolverine can die from old age, the older he gets the longer it takes for him to regenerate so eventually he just will not heal anymore.

Actually, Deadpool is my favorite comic book character. I wasn't sure on his immortality, but he isn't immortal because of Death right? That's Thanos...

 

[Red Rum]

There's more than a few ways to kill Wolverine.

^ Starting with that. Wolverine can heal from almost any injury, given time... But if he were blasted by a huge Sentinel beam and flayed down to just a skeleton (like he was here), he wouldn't be able to recover.

He could also be killed by removing his head from his body, though with the adamantium spine keeping it firmly in place, that'd be pretty hard to do.

Magneto, having complete control over Wolverine, could fly him up into outer space, or hold him under water until he died of suffocation.

There are other, more obvious methods, like canceling out his healing factor, but nobody really takes those into account, 'cause they're boring.

The comic you are displaying is from "Days of Future Past", an alternate timeline created when the mutant villain Destiny assassinated Senator Kelly.

 

[Cheesebob]

Decapitation.

If it can stop Deadpool, it will stop Wolverine

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.

I never said it kills Deadpool, but it is probs the closes you can get to actually killing him
