[QUOTE=Banned?;44644812]You say this like Marvel and DC don't drive people up walls already.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, comic book writers aren't exactly known for giving a shit to be honest. I expect even if they did break canon they'd find some way to wrangle it so it at least partially works if you ignore hundreds of other factors or something.
inb4 he drinks something or injected with something, then they kill him off.
Aye they'll kill him off like they did with Captain America and The Human Torch...oh wait
[QUOTE=BuffaloBill;44644487]I'm curious to see how they intend to kill him properly. He's effectively immortal.[/QUOTE]
Cut off his head and stuff it with dynamite
I remember seeing a "Death of Wolverine" comic like around 2007-ish. So he didn't "died" in that one?

thats pretty metal
[QUOTE=Takuat;44644526]The way to kill Wolverine is to drown him. Water is constantly in his lungs, never has a chance to regenerate since he can't breathe, that's how his son died[/QUOTE]
How would that work exactly. He got blown up by a nuclear bomb and survives, but drowning kills him for good? I know he can't breath but he would just be in a loop of not coming back to life but to die for good like that is just stupid, he could just regenerate back or just wait till someone gets him back to the surface.
When he got nuked, he fought the angel of death and won to return to life.
Been a while since I read any X-men, but like Aaron said, he doesn't currently have his healing factor. He maintains his adamantium skeleton, which would normally poison him but I've been told was fixed, and don't shoot me, by a "serum" engineered by Beast. He also can extract and retract his claws, but it basically tears through his skin and muscle given he lacks a healing factor.
It's better than Days of Future Past, where everyone is gaining new powers, some of which don't make sense. Spoilers for those who haven't watched any trailers, but Kitty is the one who sends people into the past, and Beast can transform on cue now just because, I guess.
I wonder if this will be like when they killed of Johnny Storm.

DoFP will probably also give wolverine his healing powers back
[sp] but probably not if they're really going to kill him in the final movie he is in [/sp]

When Lobo did that, it was a joke.

It will come back as
A) series wasn't canon

[QUOTE=bisousbisous;44646528]The only comic book character that stays dead is [sp]Uncle Ben[/sp][/QUOTE]
I want them to kill the only remaining sacred cow and do an alternate reality comic where Peter dies before the story, and Uncle Ben is the one who gets bitten by the radioactive spider.
Is there a list of major marvel/DC characters that have died but come back to life /altered story?

green lantern (hal jordan and alan scott)
flash (barry allen)
superman
batman
robin (jason todd)
darkseid
and the list goes on.
[QUOTE=Ricenchicken;44646575]Is there a list of major marvel/DC characters that have died but come back to life /altered story?[/QUOTE]Yes, but it's just an unaltered list of major Marvel/DC characters.
DC actually kind of hung a lampshade on it a while back, when the villain of one of their events was essentially a god of death. Turned out that he could automatically brainwash and enslave anyone who had that type of arc in their past. Cue the loss of Superman, Green Arrow, Most of the Flashes and Lanterns, Wonder Woman...

Wolverine regenerates from being destroyed down to one cell in a nuclear blast. He can't actually die.[/QUOTE]man he must have some serious PTSD
Yes please. Enough wolverine.
NO.
[QUOTE=meppers;44644569]Throw him into an industrial meat grinder[/QUOTE]
It won't actually work, by the way. Or shouldn't, at least - his skeleton is made of adamantium which no other metal can practically harm except adamantium itself.

Everyone in the marvel universe cheats death on a nigh hourly bases, chances are this is just a big thing to jazz up the comics and increase sales like the death of robin or that time when spiderman stopped being spiderman.
[QUOTE=Venezuelan;44644476]I feel like no one takes comic characters getting killed off seriously anymore. It's even lost its shock value, I read the headline and was like "huh."[/QUOTE]
That's the reason I can't get into superhero comics. There's no sense of permanence and it makes it impossible for me to invest emotionally with any character when I know that even if they completely and utterly die they'll come back next issue because it was all an alternate universe or some shit
And even if there was a sense of shock to begin with, it was ruined by being announced/leaked/whatever.
[QUOTE=Marik Bentusi;44644663]I don't see how comic books can even create tension like this anymore when multiverses are this common for superheroes. Like even if you pull a Deus Ex Machina to kill him and not one to revive him, a future writer could just tell a story about a Wolverine from a parallel universe that's exactly the same as the old one but he lived.
Narrative consistency's flown out the window ages ago since comic books don't follow the traditional format of "1 writer, 1 story and whatever characters", but it's all character-centric with whatever writers and stories do the job.
Without an overarching story, there's no end of story, without an overarching world, there are no rules or limits. Writers can pull all the junk they want without having to worry about canon in the slightest. It's a bit like fanfic in that sense.[/QUOTE]
Already done that.
Old Man Logan was done years ago and takes place a century in the future.

[QUOTE=Zukriuchen;44644950]i'm not saying it's not, i'm saying he never regenerated from a single cell is all[/QUOTE]
Yes he has, X men annual #11.
[QUOTE=Venezuelan;44644476]I feel like no one takes comic characters getting killed off seriously anymore. It's even lost its shock value, I read the headline and was like "huh."[/QUOTE]
Probably because Marvel can just go "ok all that shit is now moot, the universe has reset because this magical space god says so"
Wolverine's power is basically magic. If he got reduced down to two separate cells in different locations, one of them would eventually regenerate back to full Wolverine with all his memories and stuff and the other would just know not to make a clone.
