6) He Has Survived Being Crushed By A Steamroller, Ripped In Half By The Hulk And An Atomic Blast… But Decapitation Will Stop Him
As we’ve already said, Wolverine possesses a healing factor which keeps him functionally immortal. As well as saving him from more usual forms of death, his knack for survival has also seen him endure some more unusual fates.
In 2007’s Punisher #12, Frank Castle turns his attention to Logan in a big way. After blowing Wolvie’s face off with a shotgun and shooting off his testicles – really – the Punisher rolls over him with a steamroller. Also, the Hulk tore Wolverine in half in Lost writer Damon Lindelof’s Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk in 2005. The sad thing was, due to delays that kept the comic from completing until 2009, Wolverine was left ripped in two for four years. Most impressively, Logan survived a nuclear explosion in Venom #9 – a moment loosely adapted for The Wolverine.Â
On the other hand, Wolverine is not indestructible. Like a vampire, he can be stopped if you cut his head off and kept it separate from his body. He’s also susceptible to drowning, as this was the method Logan used to tragically murder his own crazed son Daken.
