Eight Ways to Properly and Definitively Kill the Hell out of Wolverine
I know, I know. He’s got that crazy-ass, super-charged healing factor and a nearly invulnerable metal slathering his entire skeletal structure, so just how in the hell do you properly and definitively kill the hell out of Wolverine? Uninspired laymen, and those easily intimidated by a berserker, mutant samurai with claws that could cleave an atom in twain, might be terrified at the thought of confronting Wolverine. Honestly, if we tolerated weak and weak-minded men, we would say your hesitancy was normal, but we don’t, so we won’t. Anyway, if you overcome your paralyzing fear and apply logic to the problem, you might conclude that yes, you can actually kill Wolverine. I mean, it’s been done before, right?
So, here we go…
1. Incinerate Him with Intense Heat!
Sure, his skeleton will endure, but all that organic sausage layering and chambered by said skeleton will turn to sizzling chili in a matter of microseconds — depending on the heat’s intensity, of course. To be sure, might I suggest a low-yield nuclear weapon, or whatever the hell came screaming out of that Sentinel’s palm rendering Wolverine’s flesh-coat to crackling, molten hamburger.
2. Beheading!
“But Tiras, his spine is covered with Adamantium. How in the #### are you supposed to cut through that!??” Your question is certainly valid, but also the result of someone who doesn’t understand the general make-up of a human spinal column. It’s segmented, which allows us to bend and turn — if Wolverine’s entire spinal column was sealed, he wouldn’t be able to crouch over a freshly-killed bear and lament his lost history. So, hack the hell out of the space between segments and don’t stop until you have yourself a fang-filled, skull-shaped candle holder!
3. Instigate and Maintain a Perpetual State of Drowning!
4. Phase Something Solid into His Brain!
You’re going to need a little help with this. After angering him to the point of blind rage with an effective taunt regarding his height or excessively hairy forearms, call upon your good friend Shadowcat. If he’s truly lost in a berserker-state, he’s not going to stop until everyone within sighing distance is shredded to something resembling corn husks. So, run to a predetermined location and let a drooling, raving Wolverine — with a severe lack of humanizing pupils — get within a few inches of you, which should allow Shadowcat to do…THIS!
Yeah, it’ll cost her, but with a hand forever penetrating Logan’s brain-pan, the once unstoppable, weaponized warrior will be reduced to a whimpering, human-shaped oatmeal dispenser that distributes mushy breakfast liquid through a mostly melted and finger-filled mouth. Eeeewwwwww.
5. Negate His Healing Factor!
Firstly, kidnap Leech, the power-stealing mutant; this shouldn’t be too hard, considering he’s like, 4’11”, and has just enough physical strength to push a straw through a juice box. So, with Leech in hand, lob him in Wolverine’s general direction and then give it a few minutes. When Wolverine starts to wobble…
6. Shoot Him, and KEEP SHOOTING HIM! Stop reading this and KEEP SHOOTING!
7. Drive Something Through His Eye and Directly Into His Brain!
Not sure why Lady Deathstrike hasn’t taken ownership of this move….
Anyway, his eyes are relatively soft, and lead DIRECTLY TO HIS BRAIN without any sort of Adamantium-covered impediments. Hell, you could drive an especially long LEGO block through his peepers and effectively ruin his ability to produce full sentences, or remember the cutesy names of his toes granted by an especially patient care giver.
8. Cover Him in Adamantium!
So, I came up with 8 ways to properly kill the hell out of Wolverine, and asked you to contribute. You did. Here’s what I found to be the most effective/hilarious/insulting (and yes, these are direct quotes).
9.- whenever we grow tired of this and move on to plotting the theoretical death of another mostly invulnerable comic book character.
9. Asa Griffith– “Throw him into space!”
10. Matt Amerling- “This is the only way I need (from The Punisher Kills the Marvel
Universe)”:
11. Doug Mac- “Could you dissolve him in acid? I’m not sure if there’s an acid that would penetrate adamantium but it should be worth a shot.”
12. Kurt Edwards- “I thought this article would have been interesting….IT WASN’T just foolishness…..and a lot of assuming Logan is just going to lie there and allow you to manipulate him……silly boy, eventuslly you will run out of rounds, and Wolvie’s healing factor will kick in, silly Rabbit, sticking something in his brain, again healing factor will just remove it, foolish boy sticking something through his eye…..again healing factor….you just dont seem to get the concept of healing factor…..drowning…..BITCH PLEASE !!!!”
Kurt, I couldn’t agree more (Biting-his-tongue-Tiras)!
13. John Bowers- “Blow him up, stick his head in a blender and mail the rest of the pieces to Norway.”
14. Sandall Freeman- “Black Bolt says hello to Wolverine.”
15. Christopher Nolan Thomas Havill- “Lava Toss him into a volcano.”
16. Dane Yoshida- “Shoot him into the sun.”
17. Amy Golding Purdy- “Why kill him? Wtf?”
18. Sean Vanderklip- “One optic blast from cyclops takes care of him.”
19. Charlie Mandalorian Stanley- “But Wolverine is dead………he’s been dead ages!!!! X-23 is Wolverine now.”
20. Ronnie Hawkins- “Sell him (the comic rights) to Fox!” To which Cheston Beyer replied, “BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Nice.”
21. Grant Morrison-detractor Andy Pemberton – “Give him to Grant Morrison. That f###er kills everything.”
