Man I am so pissed my Ant Man's right leg barely stays on. I was looking forward to having a Scott Lang in my Avengers, but this guy is just bollocks. I'll get another eventually, and have this ones belt and head in my Hall of Armour/Lab set up when I get it out again

That's like having an all charred bones Sentry, or an Ares that's ripped from shoulder to waist.

Speaking of that, someone get on with making an Ares ripped from shoulder to waist custom!

I wasn't gonna, but I had a random spare parts figure, and I wanted to make something Hasbro will likely never make. Plus his death seems to be a good book mark for the end of MY marvel universe, before everyone became black, gay, a teenager, or a woman overnight.

One of the best moment in the history of the 616 universe.

But he'll be back from vacation soon enough.

No he won't, they've replaced him with Old Man Logan. This guy, our Wolverine, is forever covered in adamantium and left as a statue.

[kylactus]

but possibly alive inside... constantly regenerating only to suffocate again and again... It's a great analogy for the modern Marvel fan. but at least Mickey mouse cant manipulate Adamantium to get to him. Anyone pay any attention to how "Secret wars" played out? are there any alternate dimensions left? was Wolverines statue/corpse recovered in the new universe? where is it? and having wolverine go from invincible, strong, and in his prime, to being split between a teen girl and a broken old man seems Disney perfect.

Nope, lot his healing factor which is how he got into this terrible business anyway. He's just dead and gone forever.
Well, until they decide this whole Secret Wars nonsense is bullshit and retcon it all as a Dallas-style Young Steve wakes up from a SecretWars dream to find Wolverine, our 616 Wolverine, in the shower wondering why Steve is all startled. They then never mention Secret Wars ever again.

[kylactus]

but his healing factor was being suppressed by an intelligent virus. my reasoning is that the virus, being intelligent, wouldn't kill its host, because it would kill the virus too. I think something of that nature will be used to explain his eventual resurrection. Its no dumber than Caps comeback after Civil War.

I have a strong feeling it'll iron itself out anyway. The whole point of this event is to set a "fresh" stage for new readers to jump on and to "reinvigorate" things for old readers. It's pretty much the equivalent of when DC launched their New 52 reboot, though I believe this reset will have most characters be the same versions unlike New 52 which was a complete reboot. We know Doctor Strange isn't staying dead since he's getting a new series. Wolverine on the other hand seems to be getting the Nova treatment, a popular hero dies but when it comes time to bring them back instead the company decides to replace them with a new version and fans of Richard Rider and/or main Logan are left upset and forced to wait.

[kylactus]

yeah, but Nova never quite achieved "lunch box" status, Wolverine was for years, and up until his death, one of Marvels top 5 characters. you could get away with having someone else BE Iron Man, because he's in a suit, any corpse can BE Deathlok, Hell you can make anyone "worthy" of Thor's Hammer, Which I guess now makes you Thor, even though like 12 people lifted it before chick and they remained themselves, but with the power of Thor. anyone can BE the Ghost rider. those are "titles" or Mantles, even Cap is a symbol, all be it that I don't consider Steve rogers a "secret" identity as much as a real name, but Wolverine IS Logan, he didn't stand for anything but his own moral code, how can someone else just decide to "be" him? it's just dis-arvel PC BS. look at every show on the Disney channel, they'll have a smart white girl, a pretty Hispanic girl, a few young black kids, throw in a genius Indian or Asian, and a dumb white boy. and a couple parents who are completely oblivious to what there minor children are doing.
not every story, household, group or community has to be a spot on representation of the overall American demographic! it makes it feel engineered and forced to me. but I guess that's Disney's kee demographic... morons.

Actually it's kinda funny that you bring up how Nova isn't very popular outside of the comic fans community because I was at Wal-Mart getting groceries and I saw a Marvel backpack and one of the characters on it was Nova. It used his Deodato art like from the MU figure, I was just pretty damn surprised to see Nova on a backpack and have it not then be the dumb kid-Nova. Of course I'm sure whichever kids get that backpack will have no clue who it is they're looking at.
I feel like nobody else can actually call themselves Wolverine because they aren't. Logan's a short, stocky, hairy, angry, and fierce little Canadian with claws all of which are qualities found in actual wolverines except for the shared healthcare system. Nobody else could be Wolverine unless Puck got claws and a much darker outlook on life, and even then he'd still be Puck at the end of the day. I'm pretty sure that eventually we'll see our main Wolverine again and Xavier too, even though immortality is actually a rare power among these characters it's one of those things they secretly all share.

so do you think the healing factor was written in as some kind of underlying statement on Canada's socialized medicine situation? (you'll note than when the intelligent virus got really bad Logan went to American Doctors.)

as far as the healing factor, restored youth and immortality go, that's pretty much par for the course for most comic characters, (Hell if you've been reading Wolverine since the 80's you'll note he often seems to age backwards!) unless you get cancer like Capt. Marvel, or your concept gets played out and tired (swordsman) or your really hard to draw (jack of hearts)or your the new guy (thunderbird)... then you stay dead, only occasionally returning as an evil zombie version of yourself. no one ever comes back as a good zombie.

[kylactus]

By the way I think he only made it on the backpack because of the X-embargo, my wife got me a secret wars T-shirt the other day, no X-characters on it at all! It's the classic 1984 Secret wars, everyone coming at you shot, but wolverine storm and Cyclopes have been replaced in the picture with Luke Cage, iron fist, black panther, Dr. strange, She Hulk, and Dare devil.
