Poll: Can Wolverine Be Killed?

[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.

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

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

 

[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

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.

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

Very well. I concede: some people can survive survive cyanide poisoning, due to the reality warping effects of the writer.

However, I doubt Wolverine is immune to Dr Manhattan style disintegration or being chucked into space

 

[ollathir]

It depends on what books Marvel want's to sell and in what universe they want to go with. He's stood up to the burning fires of the phoenix, continuosly regenerating. Hell he didn't even die in Wolverine:The End.

All in all though my favorite character growing up. Just wish the movie would have gone better.

Magic.

More preciesly, black magic. In theory, Death's curse made him immortal. He can't die even if he is decapitated, so his head is still alive. And if it is alive... it can see.

 

[Spirit_Of_Fire]

Drop a nuke right on top of him. Can't see he could survive that seeing as he would likely be vaporised.

 

[Zacharine]

Nuke him, repeatedly. Then put whatever remains into a space shuttle, straight for the sun. Once on its way, detone pre-set charges to destroy the controls and puch the hull of the shuttle. See if he can survive the vacuum of space or the few thousand degrees of the surface of the sun.

No-one survives that. Or if he does, no way for him to escape the surface of the sun and eternal agony. Presto, one defeated and likely killed Wolverine.

 

[KSarty]

Right now he has the superpower of marketability. So for the foreseeable future, no he can't be killed. In universe, the decapitation guys got it right, and there is bound to be other ways to do it.

 

[yosophat]

So the definitive answer is YES. You just have to get really creative and determined to kill Wolverine.

 

[Spleenboy]

Nuke theory is wrong. If it can't get through the skeleton his bone marrow would be used to regenerate.

 

[Sparrow]

Yes.

Will he be? No.

 

[Britisheagle]

I suggested space shuttle to the sun, even if he managed to escape the chances of him getting back to earth or anywhere with oxygen seems unlikely. Now lets face it there aint no coming back from that. Loads of different ideas and references here, never knew half this stuff and I do believe I am going to win this argument if it happens to pop up in the future.

 

[AfroNinja117]

He can be killed, one of the x-men comics ( i forget which one) says that the only way to kill him is to cut is head off, even a .50 cal to the head wouldn't kill him, his body would just instantly regenerate

 

[Grayjack]

Yes he can. Just drown him.

 

[Rylingo]

Yes he can be killed but not easily. Dr Manhattan could do it for sure.

Balefire would definitely delete him(and Dr Manhattan for that matter). As soon as it touches one part of a living creature it deletes all pieces regardless of them being in contact with the current body. It destroyes every piece. Add in that the beam travels faster than time itself (existing in both current time and a period going back depending on the amount of power used) making it pretty much undodgable. It was designed for killing invincible gods. It exists outside the realm of physics and reality and hence ignores all rules of them. Balefire is a projectile styled attack used by channeling capable humans.

And could people stop bringing up nukes, decapitation and bullets to the head when it was already suggested?
