No. It'd just be Wolverine: With some other people besides the X-Men hanging out in the background.
No thank you.
 
Can we all just admit that the only reason we're getting a new Spider-Man, Wolverine, and X-Men movie is that NO ONE wants to give up the rights and let Marvel/Disney make BILLIONS with an Avenger's crossover?
Didn't they make some awful FF and Cap movies in the 90's so they wont lose the rights, even though Marvel wasn't putting out any films of their own?

You know, i didn't realise it then, but not having Wolverine in 1st Class made it a better movie.

I'd still preferred Mags to use the coin to choke Shaw to death, but i still like the film.

Cleopatra and Heaven's Gate (and quite a few others) is the reason that most directors do not get complete control.
Pfft. Just because it would cause 99% of the new problems doesn't mean it wouldn't solve 99% of the old ones :p

Removing Wolverine from 90% of everything X-Men related makes it better.
 
My money is on he goes into a death like state and then once you put the two pieces together in a coffin or some such he's coming back to remove your testicles through your nose. Well, that's what I would do.

I believe in the comic they showed there, he had to crawl back to his lower torso and kind of fuse himself back together.
 
I'm kinda surprised that The Hulk is able to tear Wolverine in half given the adamantium spine.
I dunno... maybe it was during one of the periods Wovlerine didn't have adamantium anymore? He's lost it at least once because Magneto ripped it from his bones. Then again, this doesn't explain the claws.

Well, two things: he doesn't have adamantium tendons, and in the Ultimate universe, adamantium is a lot weaker than it is the normal Marvel universe.

^this. And a spine isn't one solid bone...

What happens, hilariously, is he ends up being just a head... yes, no body at all, but still alive and talking. :awesome:
Great writing, Marvel.
 
Ultimate Wolverine did end up getting killed off for real, in one of the few gratuitous deaths from Ultimatum that ended up leading to something somewhat interesting.

Incidentally, I find Wolverine generally boring. The current Wolverine and The X-Men book, where he's the headmaster of the Jean Grey School for Gifted Youngsters, manages to make him interesting by giving him problems he can't really just slash his way through but most of the time he's every bit the boring invincible hero that people accuse Superman of being. At least Superman has still some vulnerabilities.

Then: Wolverines power is he heals fast.

Now: Wolverines power is making Marvel $.

The only way to really give Superman pause is to give him a problem he can't solve by punching. The arc where Lex Luther ran for President was great because there really wasn't anything Supes could do to him that wouldn't shatter just about every ounce of credibility he had. Unlike a lot of heroes, Superman has great PR and he depends on it heavily to get things done.

Unfortunately, if your not going to give him something to punch, Superman can be INCREDIBLY boring. He's a paragon of virtue (which is his real fucking superpower), but paragons are boring if they can't be reasonably tempted.

Wasn't wolverine's omnipresence mocked in Brian Clevinger's take on Infinity Gauntlet?
 
Here's my thought in wolverine... Why hasn't any villain just thought of drowning him? Really, how much does his adanantium skeleton weigh? Just throw him in the ocean, he'll sink like a stone.

Supposedly he only weighs about 300 pounds despite all that metal. Nice try, though.

Because he'd just regenerate from drowning...

It's funny because people complained about the story where he regenerates from a drop of blood, but in that story he actually dies from having his heart ripped out... now that would barely slow him down...

You mean the one where he becomes GOD but like, gives it all up because he's Wolverine and needs to make Marvel more money?

I once tried to give X-Men a read. I picked up a comic that had Wolverine thrown into the fucking sun and coming back alive.

And something about aliens and a chicken boy making a bunch of dumpy cherub monster children with a black girl with pixie wings. Or something. I dunno.

Never went back.
