Why can't you behead wolverine?

[God's Clown]

In the Comic book Magneto fellow rips all the adamantium out of Wolverine, and he lives. Even if his head gets cut off, if placed back on his neck he will just come back to life. Least Deadpool came back to life after having his head cut off then sewed back on in comic books.

Does it matter? Clearly this is on the very soft end of the sci-fi spectrum (as is pretty much any superhero thing) and its simpler than that. Reach through his torso and crush his heart, then find something to hold it clamped together like that.

No heart, no circulation, no oxygen to brain, no action in the cells, no Wolverine. He might be able to recover instantly when the vice is removed but he would need someone else ot do that for him.

I posted this before, put this thread is also appropriate.

I always wondered how a lightsaber would fair against adamentium.

Not at the think bony parts, but I always considered the joints as weak points to rip through with a lightsaber.

You kill him the same way you kill any immortal being...drop him down a black hol and watch his atoms get scattered over a trillion square miles in spaghetti form.

...here comes the smart arse dick head...

The Muramasa Blade (a sword) negates the healing factor of mutants.

This is currently the only way.

Double post. Don't ask. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.111671?page=7#1969346

I think the only way to kill him is to destroy every single cell in his body simultaneously.
Therefore cutting off his head wouldn't really affect him: however, it would take him a very long time to regenerate for as the amount of damage increases the healing time increases exponentially(at least thats what I've heard).

I bet Chuck Norris could kill Wolverine

How do you know he wouldn't just regenerate into Wolverines instead of one?

Then you'd be doubly buggered.

This is true, also Wolverine was beheaded in WW2 when he was a Prisoner of war to the Nazis. Though it doesn't explain how he survived he kept appearing before the prisons commander the next day to be beheaded and tortured again and again until his escape.

I think that adamantium is fluid in some parts of the bones. I mean, if it was hard all the time, he wouldn't be able to move muscles, breathe and he'd get a brain damage really soon (you know, his skull wouldn't change shape when he eats - painful).

I guess that his skeleton is elastic in some parts, like Omega Red's whips.

Carbonadium is what Omega Red's whips are made of, and that could explain things if any of his skeleton consisted of that.

Like a vampire.

You would be. I would expect brain tissue to be necessary to regenerate, hence why in some comics he has been hit with a arrow to the head and woke up hours later because it took so long to regenerate.

Or maybe we can figure out why he's unkillable right after we suss out the man who is essentially a huge walking magnet and the bloke who can freeze things by breathing on them >_>

 

[photog212]

I can never figure out why the adamantium regenerates in the first place. Its not part of his physiology so why does it contain his powers?

 

[duchaked]

I think that his vertibrea is connected by possible adamantium cartilage. It's a possibility. The only way is to completely remove his entire skeletal structure like Magneto did in the comic books.

I always thought there had to be some sort of connection other than just some magical magnetism as well...

There was this one time in the Ultimate comics where his entire foot was disintegrated by a beam from a Sentinel, showing all bone...but all the tiny bone pieces in his foot stayed together.

Interesting...altho apparently healing factor will work as long as the beheaded can manage to pull said severed head back on within a short undetermined time period...

 

[rubyblue]

honestly I'm not concerned on if it will kill him or not (topic of another recent post), but moreso on why no one can rip his head or arms off as they are all just connected by soft tissue and cartilidge.

I think he'd probably regenerate too fast for them to tear him apart. Like, by the time they've got his head half off it's already healed. That's just speculation, though.

Or rather Chuck Norris is Wolverine.

Used to play the original Marvel Super Heroes game and got into an arguement regarding whether the Hulk could crush Wolvies skull. Ended in a series of mathmatical proofs and then we decided that Hulk would have to have been in absolute total war scenario and had dropped Wolverine at least 5 times to build his anger then after complete and total frustration obliterated the skull. Then the comics got insane.

Years later after watching DBZ I figured they were correct that it would take complete erradication of all possible living tissue to truely kill the canadian wonder healer and with his grey matter encased in an inpenetrable casing, good luck with that.

Side question: Hulk crushes Wolvies skull with his thunderclap hit, what does it sound like as his skull reinflates?
