and what he does looks painful

this list we’re looking at the worst
injuries or life events that the stabbed
happy x-man has ever endured both in the
main Marvel continuity and beyond number
10 the Weapon X program
Wolverine just wouldn’t be Wolverine if
he hadn’t been put through the wringer
by the sinister government procedure but
the comic book fame cool claws and
indestructible skeleton might not have
been worth the trauma
Logan’s healing factor and overall
toughness allowed him to survive the
procedure his bones were coated with an
eye unbreakable metal but the physical
and emotional trauma of the event left
him with memories fractured or gone
altogether after escaping from the
secret facility in a blind rage Logan’s
traumatized mind was even sublimated by
his feral instincts leaving him in an
animalistic state he wouldn’t emerge
from for some time number 9 he was
brainwashed by the alliance Logan is
among other things very good at killing
people and while his skills are usually
used for good they’ve been used for evil
a number of times perhaps the most
notable of these instances is when
Wolverine was brainwashed by the
Alliance an evil group consisting of
Hydra the hand and a mutant group known
as the dawn of the white light the
Alliance managed to turn Wolverine into
a deadly assassin and Unleashed him upon
many of his comrades attacking daredevil
the Fantastic Four and even the x-men
before he was captured and deprogrammed
he even took the life of longtime x-men
north star who was then resurrected and
brainwashed himself number eight he was
crucified by the Reavers Australia is
generally a nice place to visit with a
friendly and welcoming population and
some fantastic beaches but unfortunately
for Wolverine and the x-men their time
down under wasn’t as fun as it could
have been during a brief period when
they were based in the Australian
outback the x-men fought a group of
cyborg mercenaries known as the Reavers
in retaliation for an earlier defeat the
Reavers at one point captured wolverine
and crucified him on a giant wooden X
leaving him to hallucinate while his
battered body was ravaged by the
elements
if it’s any consolation Wolverine it did
make for a pretty striking cover number
seven he was torn in half by the Hulk
the Hulk and Wolverine seemed like
they’d get along given that both have
some serious anger issues to work
through
but unfortunately for Logan there is no
commiseration or sympathy to be found
when the two butted heads in the pages
of a comic series set in Marvel’s
ultimate universe after being dispatched
to kill the Hulk once and for all
Logan’s seemingly met his match when the
J giant tore him in two severing Logan’s
spine and forcing him to crawl for miles
just to retrieve his lower half number
six the Punisher ran him over with a
steamroller Wolverines cameo appearance
in the pages of this particular Punisher
comic wasn’t one of his better moments
after running afoul of the murderous
vigilante and running his mouth the
whole time Logan got a shotgun blast to
the face a baseball bat to the groin and
much more for his troubles when the dust
finally settled Castle had left his
clawed compatriot with a final parting
gift a deep tissue massage from a
steamroller naturally
Wolverine wasn’t too happy about any of
this but when you have a 20-ton piece of
construction equipment parked on top of
you there’s not much you can do to vent
your frustrations number 5 he had all
the flesh burned off his skeleton
Wolverine is no stranger to being
reduced to a charred cinder after all
this is the same guy who narrowly
avoided being hurled into the Sun but
when fighting a super villain named
nitro Logan was well past a few
third-degree burns after nitros
explosive powers left a school and ruins
and countless children dead Wolverine
took it upon himself to hunt the villain
down finding his quarry was no big deal
but after catching up with nitro
Wolverine had every bit of flesh and
tissue burned off his body when nitro
demonstrated his ability the power to
explode in a massive fireball number
four his tragic love life not all of the
worst things to happen to Wolverine
involve grievous bodily harm after all
when your centuries-old mutant with a
bad attitude and a whole lot of blood on
your hands
you’re dating options are limited Logan
has had to bid farewell to numerous lady
loves including his fellow x-men Jean
Grey as well as Mariko Yashida Silver
Fox and numerous others if you count
alternate timelines like many comic book
heroes his love interests have a
tendency to die or turn evil when they
aren’t already evil to begin with
you’d think that he’d swear off romance
altogether but the heart wants what it
wants apparently number three all of the
events of old man Logan this critically
acclaimed story about an older Wolverine
in a dark future timeline is basically
one horrendous thing happening to
Wolverine after another before the story
has even begun
Logan was tricked into brutally killing
all of his fellow x-men an event that
drove him to attempt suicide years later
an aging Logan went on a cross-country
adventure with a similarly aging Hawkeye
when Logan finally got back home he
found his wife and children dead at the
hands of the Hulk who devours poor Logan
when confronted but rather than let it
end Logan clawed his way out of his
former ally stomach isn’t retirement
supposed to be restful number two the
emergence of his powers even as a child
Logan’s life was never easy growing up
weak and sickly in 1800s Alberta James
Howlett’s future as a one-man killing
machine arrived when his mutant powers
first manifested the incident took place
when his family’s ground keeper having
been recently fired murdered the future
Wolverines father this trauma triggered
the emergence of young James’s powers
and he then used his new bone claws to
murder the groundskeeper he didn’t know
it at the time but that groundskeeper
was actually James’s biological father
the trauma of the whole episode then
prompted his mother to take her own life
and you thought your childhood was
traumatic before we reveal our top pick
here are some honorable mentions
[Music]
number one having his adamantium removed
by magneto Wolverine has endured some
pretty horrible things over the years
but few events rattled the character to
his core the way this one did during a
battle the x-men’s arch-enemy magneto
decided to deal with Wolverine once and
for all and used his magnetic abilities
to rob Logan of his trademark adamantium
skeleton by leaching the metal from his
body
obviously this event through Logan for a
bit of a loop leaving him with a
weakened healing factor and in a more
feral State many years later
Wolverine had a similarly bad time with
the opposing problem when he was encased
head to toe and adamantium seemingly
killing him do you agree with our picks
