    Gonna nerd out here for a second.

    Magneto actually did pull Wolverine’s adamantium skeleton out once. And it was a massive heel turn after Magneto had been a “good guy” and worked with the X-Men for years.

      Holy Christ, can we get some spoilers on what happens after? He couldn’t possibly have survived that… right?

        There’s only one substance more powerful than adamantium in Marvel comics: popularity-induced plot armour.

        He didn’t even die there, if you can believe it. Though he is catatonic and carried home by Jean Grey. This is one of the few comic books I actually had.

        Immediately after this, Xavier gets pissed and completely mind-wipes Erik, something he promised he’d never do. This causes a part of his psyche to splinter off, eventually kidnap Franklin Richards, and merge with him to become Onslaught.

        Then an amnesiac, de-aged Magneto shows up to help the X-Men fight Onslaught.

        Comics are wild, man.

        He survived having molten adamantium injected onto his bones. I’d guess that this wouldn’t be as bad as that was.

          I think I read a comic where he is basically burnt alive in some kind of explosion and he goes through the regeneration process mentioning, I think, nerves are the worst to regenerate because it’s really painful

            Isn’t it really painful every time his claws emerge through his skin? I seem to remember that being established at some point.

            Yeah, any of the questions of “who would win” when Logan is involved are hard to answer because he’s pretty much impossible to kill.

            Though there are some that could throw him into the sun. Maybe it would kill him, maybe it would trap him, maybe it would just give him new powers.

              Isn’t Logan actually susceptible to dying by beheading? AFAIK, only with Deadpool’s mutated cancer can his healing factor grow a whole new body.

                It probably depends on the writer who is currently writing him, but chat gpt thinks he would eventually recover from decapitation or attacks that destroy his brain. I can’t remember where I got this from, but my understanding is that as long as some of his cells survive, he will regenerate. Which could rule out the surviving the sun depending on whether he’d burn up faster than he can regenerate (and assuming no new powers affect this).

                It changes based on the comic book, from what Ive read. Theres comics where hes survived being beheaded and his body kept elsewhere.

        The adimantium was actually poisoning him, and his healing factor was fighting it the whole time. So when he lost the metal he became ultra powerful and developed bone claws

        As others mentioned, he definitely survived. But to add onto that, Deadpool got his healing factor from wolverine, and Deadpool’s whole shtick is that he’s virtually unkillable.

        In order to kill either one of them, you have to kill every single one of their cells. For Deadpool at a certain point, even that won’t work, because that happened. He died, then fell in love with the personification of death. That pissed off someone real powerful who then cursed Deadpool with immortality so he can never see his beloved again.

        Logan burned out his healing factor to survive that (he was fine in the end, though), Xavier retaliated by wiping Magneto’s mind but in doing so he created Onslaught, a sentient psionic entity created from the darker parts of their consciousness (Xavier and Magneto’s)
