Poll: Can Wolverine Be Killed?

[Space Spoons]

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.

 

[Bat Vader]

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 know what you are talking about. I can't remember either but I thought it was another mutant.

 

[Biek]

In Spider-Man VS Wolverine, there was a point where Wolverine had his fist below Spidey's chin, ready to 'snikt' his claws right up into Spidey's skull. However, since Spidey had his hands wrapped around Wolverine's neck, ready to 'snap' it with his super strength (Spider-Man had ten times the strength of the average human being back then), Wolverine couldn't do anything. It was a stand off. They both knew there was nothing they could do without the risk of killing themselves, so they let eachother live.

The spinal cord can be separated if the bones are moved out of place. So no actual bonebreaking involved. (wich would be impossible in his case.)

Also, I dont know if Wolverine can breath underwater or his healing factor allows it somehow.

cut his head off with a adamantium katana

 

[ThreeWords]

All that is required is someone of sufficiently god-like power. Enter Dr Manhattan, who can just reduce you to your individual atoms. Lets see you cell-regenerate that!

Or you could just be mean and poison him. I don't care how awesome you skeleton is, or you cell regeneration, the horrible truth about cyanide is it simply reacts with your enzymes, and you just stop working. Simply chemistry, and no ones immune

Or, you could chuck him into space. He won't last long without air...

I could go on all day =D

 

[annoyinglizardvoice]

As long as whoever is writing the comics at the time doesn't have a massive thing for him, then he can die.

Cthuhlu could take him down. He can kill Wolverine d6 times a turn.

 

[Hoxton]

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

 

[messy]

Kaneda1007[]|]YES! If Someone has the Muramasa Blade, a sword fused with Wolverines healing factor, currently in the possession of Cyclops whom Wolverine entrusted its safety. Daken, Wolverines son is currently searching for the sword so he can kill his father for "apparently" killing his mother...

Im Kaneda1007 and i am a Geek =D

Dam ninja'd i just read one with the Murasama Blade, he uses it to kill sabre tooth since it negates the healing power . And cyclops has been told to use it on wolverine if he goes "truly beast" and looses all control.

 

[noodles loves you]

Learn2CivilWar: Wolverine was hit by a full on blast from nitro, reducing him to just a skeleton, but regrew from what little amount of cells were left on it.

The only thing that can kill him is the Muramasa blade or complete cellular disintegration.

.... or being depowered then killed... so Leech being about could kill him.... or if House of M went another direction. Still enough of that

 

[Paragon Fury]

If all else fails, a nuke would probably do it.

Or Galatigus.

 

[Cheesebob]

Decapitation.

If it can stop Deadpool, it will stop Wolverine

 

[Snowalker]

I'm more curious as to whether Deadpool can be killed, because his healing ability seems stronger than wolverines.

But he could regenerate his brain though. He would have be destroyed like how Doctor Manhattan killed Rorschach.

 

[Slycne]

It's been done before. He's been killed in a few continuitites: it's rare, but it happens.

Exactly, it all depends on what version of Wolverine we are talking about. In some his mutant healing is almost instantaneous regeneration, where as in others it's simply a more sped up regeneration of that any normal human has.

In some universes he has survived nuclear explosion and being reduced to a single sell, where as in others a simple sentinel laser kills him.

 

[Snowalker]

Decapitation.

When has decapitation stopped Deadpool?

 

[Robyrt]

The "original" Claremont/Byrne Wolverine wasn't designed as invulnerable. He gets fried by a future Sentinel in "Days of Future Past", and it is strongly implied that decapitation or tearing out his throat would kill him before the healing factor could fix it.

Over the years, that healing factor has become more and more powerful in the hands of worse and worse writers, to the point where he is basically indestructible and can magically regenerate his entire body from his blood. (By '89, Vignettes established that the throat cutting wouldn't work.)

No, I'm not an idiot. And I never mentioned a hole in the back of the skull. It's actually shaped with a gap there, not a hole, and it's to allow the spinal cord to connect to the skull. The brain is easily accessible from there. Don't believe me? I checked all the details because when writing this screenplay I had a thing for getting my facts right. And they were. So there. I do win.

And as for your 'reduced to zero' thing, I agree with that, that's a good idea if a method existed for that to occur. I dare say there's some mutant or Marvel character who has that power anyway, failing that call in Doctor Manhattan.

 

[Slycne]

Yes, Magneto can do it easily. If I remember correctly, didn't Magneto at some point remove the adamantium from Wolverine and he was back to bone-claws? Anyway, Magneto could just use the adamantium to mangle, pull apart, and chop his body to death.

If I remember right, in that universe Wolverine's mutant healing goes through the roof because it was having to "fight" the adamantium the entire time. So by removing it he looses the advantages of the adamantium skeleton, but his mutant healing comes back much stronger.

 

[Cheesebob]

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
