marvel - How to kill Wolverine?



Wolverine is a tough man, his regeneration power makes him almost indestructible.


In the second X-men movie, Wolverine himself killed Deathstrike, a mutant that had the same regeneration power as him, by injecting her with adamantium. But I also learned recently that Magneto was able to rip all the adamantium out of Wolverine's body ([X-Men volume 2 #25, 1994), so I suppose her death is not final.


Apart from an extreme solution like Nuking him, throwing him into the sun or a black hole, is there a conventional way of killing him?



Answer



The Muramasa Blade


The Muramasa Blade (the second, made specifically for Wolverine - not the Black Blade) has been shown to effectively negate healing factors entirely. It has been used to




scar Wolverine's chest, decapitate Sabertooth, negate Skaar's healing factor (while used by Daken), etc.



It was described by Wolverine as "the only thing in the world that could put him down."


Muramasa Blade, Wolverine, and Cyclops


At this point in time, Wolverine removed Daken's Muramasa-coated claws and buried them with the the remains of the broken Muramasa Blade in an unknown location. It has the ability to cut at a molecular level, so it should have no problem slicing through his adamantium. Pair that with the decapitation @phantom42 mentioned, and you'd likely have a dead Logan.


Carbonadium


It's possible Carbonadium, an unstable attempt at Adamantium made by the Russians (more malleable, but cheaper and radioactive) could slow down Wolverine's healing factor enough to kill him. Wolverine had Bucky shoot Daken with a Carbonadium bullet, and one shot was enough to keep Daken from healing temporarily.


Omega Red has Carbonadium tentacles, and Moon Knight's suit supposedly has Carbonadium incorporated in it, but I don't believe either has the volume needed to make a difference against Wolverine's healing factor.


Other Healing Factor Blockers


Considering Wolverine's healing factor is probably a mutant power (with Loeb's Lupine stuff who knows what's actually going on), anything that could suppress or remove that could interfere with his ability to heal (when paired with a way to kill somebody normally). For example, the Savage Land suppresses abilities to some extent. Additionally, other healing factors (Deadpool, recently) have been suppressed by a variety of methods - depending on the method and the writer, they may or may not be strong enough to work on Wolverine.

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

harry potter - How could Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra?

I want to be very careful about how I ask this question – I am not asking How did Voldemort die? [CLOSED] Below the text is the relevant passages from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows if anyone wants to review them (I'm sorry for the amount of text). How did Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra and kill Voldemort? I feel the reason Harry's Expelliarmus overpowered Voldemort's Avada Kedavra curse has to do with who was master of the Elder Wand and how the Elder Wand works. I've always had trouble understanding fully how the Elder Wand works, though. How much did the fact that Voldemort never truly won or mastered the Elder Wand factor into how Expelliarmus reacted to Avada Kedavra and caused Avada Kedavra to rebound and kill Voldemort? An answer based in book canon would be especially welcome, but any canon source really is fine. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he, too, yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco’s wand: ‘ Avada Kedavra !’ ‘ Expelliarmus !...

game of thrones - Is Syrio Forel dead?

In the episode 'The Pointy End' (Season 1 Episode 8) when Arya runs from the Lannister guards you hear the sound of a sword being dropped (around 4:56): [embedded content] After that neither Syrio or Ser Meryn Trant is never mentioned or seen in the show again, except when Arya mentions to the Hound that Ser Meryn Trant killed Syrio. Is there any mention in the books that Syrio actually dies?

tolkiens legendarium - Difference between elves and dwarves blacksmithing in the Lord of the Rings

Both the elves and the dwarves were famous for their metal work in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but what is the difference between what they made, and which one had the better skill of making amours and swords? Answer James Christopher's answer sums up the second part of your question well, but as to the difference in what they made, a little more detail is needed. Once the Elves learned to forge with steel, the shape of the sword changed, now being able to take on the form of a great broadsword or a light and agile curved sword. Additionally, they took great pride in decorating their swords. As we see in the Lord of the Rings , some swords like Sting had magical properties such as glowing blue when orcs are near. As far as the use of Mithril, lotr.wikia has two contradictory passages: Thus, Elven blades became renowned as great weapons, capable of performing deeds beyond the skill of their handlers and were even more glorious when the use of Mithril was allowed to the Elves. ...
