8 Worst Things The Winter Soldier Has Ever Done

8. Killed Wolverine's Pregnant Wife - Origins & Endings

In the world of Marvel Comics, Wolverine has had more love interests than most heroes have had hot dinners. Seriously, it's nearly impossible to keep track of all of Logan's tragedy-laced romances. And in the case of Itsu Akihiro, this was yet again another relationship destined to end in heartache for Weapon X.

Soon after his time serving in World War II, Wolverine embarked on five years of training designed to simmer his ever-short temper. During that time, he met, fell for and married Itsu, and the couple were soon expecting their first child. That was until Logan returned home to find his pregnant wife brutally murdered.

Years later, in the Origins & Endings arc, the Winter Soldier revealed that he was the one who wiped out Itsu in order to draw Wolverine out from his self-imposed hiding.

The one silver lining of all of this was that Wolverine and Itsu's child was able to be saved and would be adopted. Less of a silver lining, of course, is that this son would return years later as the unrelenting, villainous Daken - with Logan eventually having no choice but to drown his own flesh and blood as the last resort to stopping his murderous ways.
