8 Comic Book Villains Humiliated By Wolverine

8. Silver Samurai - Wolverine Vol. 3

Wolverine's rogues gallery includes plenty of fearsome adversaries, and arguably one of the most formidable is Silver Samurai.

Silver Samurai, real name Keniuchio Harada, was first introduced in an issue of Daredevil but later became a recurring figure for Wolverine, with the two first crossing paths during Logan's marriage to Mariko Yashida. Harada started out as one of Mariko's criminal rivals, but following her death at the hands of Matsu'o Tsurayaba he and Logan developed a sort of mutual respect, even working together sporadically on different occasions.

But as with all of Wolvie's relationships, his and Harada's was anything but simple. Following the events of House of M, Logan had all of his memories restored and he was finally able to put together the pieces of his past. This led him back to Harada, who he believed held the answers that would open up a whole other aspect of his forgotten history.

Harada was honour-bound to remain silent however, and so the two were forced to duel. Evenly matched, Harada is able to gain the upper hand and impales Wolverine with his sword, but little did he know that this was what Logan wanted. Having received the information he was looking for when Harada assumed victory was his, Logan grabbed Harada's hand and sliced it off with his claws, leaving his old rival to lick his wounds and fight another day.
