Who Is More Unkillable - Deadpool Or Wolverine?

For decades, Wade Wilson’s published history showed he could not actually die. Marvel Comics has a running joke: Death, the skeleton lady who embodies mortality, has a major crush on Deadpool. This crush drives Thanos the Mad Titan to charge.

After the Merc with the Mouth faced the afterlife nearDeadpool #64Deadpool spent time with Death, then woke up alive. Deadpool was cursed with eternal life by Thanos. Thanos did this to keep Deadpool away from his crush.

In current continuity, this curse's status is uncertain. However, Wade Wilson did die at the start ofSecret Wars - with everyone else in the Marvel Universe.

Logan’s healing factor works constantly, making him immune to viruses and diseases. Only a complicating factor can overcome this. Wolverine never found such a complication.Uncanny X-Force #3.

Wolverine fought the Horseman of Death during a mission to eliminate Apocalypse. Death used his powers to infect Wolverine with every known terminal disease. This caused extreme pain and briefly overwhelmed Wolverine's healing factor. X-Force teammates saved him before it was too late.

Wolverine and Magneto have a nonsensical rivalry in comic books. One has a skeleton laced with ferrous metal; the other is the Master of Magnetism. Logan keeps fighting Magneto repeatedly without thinking about the bad outcome.

Logan learned a hard lesson inX-Men #25. During theFatal AttractionsDuring the crossover, Magneto lost patience. He lashed out at Wolverine brutally, ripping the adamantium from his bones and pulling it out through his pores. Professor Xavier wiped Magneto’s mind, but this helped Logan little. It took years for Logan to regain his metal skeleton and his mind, which was broken. At least, he learned he was born with bone claws!

Wolverine is already at least a century old. Many timelines show him living much longer. Only one future, first seen inMarvel Legacy #1 - shows Logan lasting until the end of time.

Set thousands of years ahead of the mainstream Marvel Universe, the saga ofKing Thor tells the story of an ancient Odinson trying to stop the universe's end. Along the way, he meets his old pal Wolverine.Thor tells the tale of an ancient Odinson trying his best to hold off the end of the universe. He meets his old pal Wolverine.Wolverine is kept alive by the Phoenix Force all this time.The Phoenix Force keeps Wolverine alive all this time.The Phoenix Force keeps Wolverine alive all this time.The Phoenix Force, a cosmic being of unimaginable force, spends time with an old flame.

James Howlett lived through the 1945 Nagasaki atomic bombing. This is not the only time Wolverine survived a nuclear explosion.

Another event occurred inVenom #8.Logan served as a guest star in Venom #8. The Canadian government dropped a nuke on a small town in the Northwest Territories, aiming to eliminate the Venom symbiote, but they only blew up and seriously angered Wolverine. Wolverine then bonded with the symbiote shortly after, but that is a story for later.

Deadpool’s healing factor comes from experiments with Wolverine’s DNA. Thus, both share a similar dislike of aging. Wade Wilson is not as old as Wolverine, but he might live long—Logan simply had a century head start.

Deadpool, for instance, appeared alive in the future-flung timeline ofMarvel 2099.Deadpool existed there, though in a fairly old and decrepit form.Deadpool existed there, though in a fairly old and decrepit form.X-Force met a future Deadpool locked in solitary confinement for decades. He remained physically fit and dangerous, and even more insane than usual.

Thor, God of Thunder, rarely uses his great power on people. He found a fight between the supposedly indestructible Deadpool and Madcap inDeadpool Annual #1.Thor unleashed a mighty lightning bolt. Thor went too far, leaving both characters in a pile of dust.

Thor told the nearby Daredevil the two died as 'warrior’s deaths' after flying away. However, both characters healed from the disintegration. When they healed, they shared one body. Deadpool later needed Thor again to fix the mess he made by ripping him and Madcap apart.

Wade Wilson sought answers about a healing factor. What happens if one’s brain shatters into a hundred pieces? Where does the body regenerate from?Deadpool #39.Deadpool #39, but he was not around to see the results.

Deadpool fought the Hulk during a period of self-loathing. The Hulk pushed Deadpool to hit him with full power. The mercenary became paste, yet he healed fine hours later.

The first time he went into the afterlife was inDeadpool #61It looked like Wade Wilson would never return. His body was destroyed; only his right hand remained. This caused many lewd jokes at his funeral.

Suddenly, the rest of him regenerated from the hand, healing faster than usual. Deadpool reappeared. He took time to find himself, but he had returned, even if he didn't know how or why. Thanos's meddling cursed Deadpool with eternal life, a fact later revealed.

An infamous incident fromUncanny X-Men Annual #11Wolverine regenerated his whole body from a single blood drop in

The scene before showed Logan's few on-page deaths. The Thanos-like villain Horde ripped Logan's heart from his chest. Wolverine survived that injury before, but not this time. Horde then let a drop of Logan’s blood fall onto the magic crystal they fought over, andthatbrought him back to life. This issue poorly shows Wolverine's healing factor because it portrays it as weak.

Technically, Wolverine's ripping in half happened in an alternate universe shown inUltimate Wolverine vs. HulkEven the Hulk should not have torn Logan's adamantium bones apart by mainstream rules. However, Wolverine crawled miles to find his legs and reattached them, proving his toughness.

Wolverine has not been torn in two yet. The character was blown apart before metal grafted to his bones, and he always put himself back together, suggesting he could survive the Hulk treating his body like string.

Readers did not know it then, but Wolverine was about a century old when he appeared inThe Incredible Hulk #180James Howlett, the mutant who became Logan, ages slowly. He was born in the 19th century. Logan ages slowly, continuing for decades, depending on future timelines.

The iconicOld Man Logana story arc depicted awhite-haired WolverineLogan lives in a dystopian future, still dangerous. Other futures show Logan teaching at the Jean Grey School of Higher Learning for decades, or living for a century or more—making his death by natural causes impossible.

Deadpool seems like a lone gunman, but he proves a solid teammate many times, especially during the disgusting events ofUncanny X-Force #4. That issue showed Deadpool’s pall Archangel attacked by the calorie-suckingHorseman of Famineand drove him to starvation with no emergency food.

Wade Wilson carved pieces of himself and fed them to Warren Worthington III, a character used to rare steaks. Archangel asked Deadpool where the mystery meat came from, but Wade kept the source secret then, and maybe forever.

Some think Wolverine needs flesh to regenerate, but that is false. During the events ofCivil War, Logan hunted down Nitro. Nitro’s power to explode and reform started the conflict, but Nitro unleashed a nuclear blast on Logan.

The blast stripped Wolverine’s flesh from his metal bones, leaving a metal skeleton. His skin, muscle, organs, and brain were all destroyed. Yet, he regenerated his body and mind hours later, likely from marrow in his indestructible limbs. This surprised both readers and Nitro, whom Logan later caught and took violent revenge on.

Anyone with a healing factor can theoretically regrow flesh without limit. Wolverine's case tested this in gruesome ways inWolverine #165, Logan was locked in a prison cell with a super-powered cannibal who enjoyed eating him repeatedly.

In the future-set tale ofOld Man Logan, Wolverine survived being eaten whole by the Hulk, bursting out of the stomach hours later in a big way. Logan has also been shown eating his own flesh to survive on other occasions; this makes little sense but looks cool.

Ripping Deadpool in half vertically is old news. This case study mattered when Deadpool found the villainous Madcap inside his mind.Deadpool Annual #1He asked his pals Thor and Luke Cage to split him exactly in half. They happily agreed to the request.

The plan worked perfectly against all odds. Each half regenerated into a new body: one for Deadpool and one for Madcap. The foes could battle on the physical plane again. We still don't know what happens if this procedure occurs without someone in Wade Wilson’s head. The world needs only one Deadpool.

Wolverine’s healing factor lets him survive wild injuries. It does not create life. Wade Wilson’s factor did that inDeadpool #44

A woman obsessed with Deadpool collected his discarded body parts until she had a full set. When Deadpool learned about this, he took the collection and threw it in the dumpster. Against all odds, the limbs and organs joined into a being known asEvil Deadpool - and this entity later plagued Regular Deadpool for years.

Healing factors matter. Still, it is hard to picture anyone surviving the total loss of internal organs unless that person is Wade Wilson. InDeadpool #2, the hero got severely wounded when he found himself on the wrong end of an elephant’s tusk.

Deadpool slid off the tusk without missing a beat. He stuffed his guts back in and punched zombie presidents, ignoring the elephant disembowelment.
