Poll: Can Wolverine Be Killed?

[The Unspool]

Magneto could simply crush him into an adamantium ball; and if he's still alive as said adamantium ball, drop him in a volcano or send him into the sun or outer space...

 

[Jursa]

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

Toys, games and movies(crappy ones but still). Got a good point there, but does that mean that if he became an unlikeable character he'd have to fend on his own?

 

[Zorg Machine]

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...

actually he would survive it due to his indestructible skeleton

Magneto could kill him by ripping his metal skeleton out of his body.

Already done, and that just made him angry

It has also been stated that the adimantium skeleton actually slows down his regeneration, so ripping it out of him will accelerate it hugely

Could he survive a nuclear warhead to the face? Seems doubtful to me... I mean, nuclear explosions can evaporate a person on the spot, literally leaving nothing but their shadow behind. How could he possibly regenerate if EVERYTHING of him is obliterated in a matter of seconds?

He did survive a warhead in the face, he was in 1945 hiroshima when the bomb was dropped

I am also a geek, the comic where the sentinel kills him is Days of Future Past,

Personally, while his body can with stand anything his soul cannot, destroy the soul, and he will be nothing but a vegetable

 

[wierdman51]

no, he can no be killed the fan boys wouldnt allow anything of the sort.

 

[XJ-0461]

To be honest i find the idea of a super hero is can't be killed stupid. Where is the fun if you know your hero is always save?

I get this, but I think part of the appeal of Wolverine is that he can take anything and kick enormous amonts of ass.

 

[Shamus Young]

The question we're really asking here is, "could he die within the fiction of the Marvel comic world as presented?" Meh. How many times has each hero been killed and brought back and cloned and had dopplegangers and mirror universe versions and time-travel copies and offspring, and alternate continuities, etc etc. Even Dr. Manhattan isn't safe from the power of a determined and sufficiently idiotic writer.

Wolverine will never die so long as he's profitable.

The moment he's worth more dead than alive, he'll end up just like Captain America.

Yes, I am an awful cynic.

 

[Xrysthos]

I'm guessing he could be drowned. Sink him into the Mariana Trench, and he's a goner.

 

[Mystic Beef]

In the real world he could be killed by alot of things that have been said like drowning nuclear explosion ect.
but while hes in comics and movies he can survive everything no matter how illogical like in a nuclear explosion he would have no cells to regenerate from but he does anyway

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

It gets him as closed to killing as pulling his arms behind his back and tying up.

I think it would do much than if someone decapitated him - I mean, he still sees his body when his head is cut off. I would just run in circles until I could finally see the headless zombie-body. Then I just pick up the head, put on the neck and wait 5 seconds till it reattaches itself.

 

[DoctorObviously]

I think Wolverine can be killed by chopping his head off.

 

[Ceefax]

No you can't kill him as for that he'd have to be alive.

 

[Zombie_Fish]

He can be killed but he heals so quickly it's hard to kill him.

Also, why would Marvel kill him and lose a perfectly good, money making character?

 

[R.O.]

X Men Orgins really did me a favor by exposing the flaw in Wolverine's character. He is totally bland and uninteresting besides when he is trying to kill something. Hugh Jackman barely made him somewhat interesting.

 

[nathan-dts]

there was cartoon on the other day called Wolverine and the X-Men and 20 years into the future a number of the X-Men had been killed, even Wolverine.

He's not actuallydead in that travesty of a cartoon. He help Xavier later on.

 

[nathan-dts]

I think Wolverine can be killed by chopping his head off.

Wolverine once regenerated from a single drop of blood. Take that.

 

[crudus]

I don't care how awesome you skeleton is, or your cell regeneration, the horrible truth about cyanide is it simply reacts with your enzymes, and you just stop working. Simply chemistry, and no one's immune

The Doctor can, and has.

Granted, but he doesn't count, both because he has alien and therefore unpredictable bio-chemistry, and because he's a title character in a kiddies TV show, and therefore immune to death

I say that counts 100%. You are using the same argument as Dr.Odd here

To be honest, it depends on the writer. ...Really, he's powers of regeneration and strength are entirely dependent on his current popularity. The stronger his selling power is the stronger he is.

This could be applied to any character (not that I tried to quote mine). The Doctor is popular and thus wont die no matter how much cannon gets blown out of the water. The writing is good like in the majority of the Marvel Comics. Logan could survive cyanide if the writer wanted him to and if it would sell better than if he died from it. Plus he might have a different enzyme that isn't affected by cyanide.

and to refute the first part of your argument:

Or you could just be mean and poison him. ... Simply chemistry, and no ones immune

 

[Orbot_Vectorman]

If Magnito was like me, he would have used his powers to remove Wolveriens head.

Hang on, unless Deadpool has some kind of Telekinesis which hasn't been mentioned anywhere, how the hell can he control his body to do anything when it isn't attached to his head?

Unless there are nerves attached, he is basically dead
