10 Mind-Blowing Facts You Didn't Know About Wolverine

7. Spock Actually Defeated Him

Weird crossovers and comics go together like Spider-Man and constantly running out of web-fluid while swinging through New York, so they tend to happen quite a bit. There've been some great examples over the years - the Justice League/Avengers crossover being a particular highlight - but every now and again one will come along that'll leave readers flummoxed.

One such crossover that left everyone scratching their heads (which sounds like an extremely dangerous activity for Wolverine, come to think of it) was the X-Men/Stark Trek series, which was published in 1996. The storyline saw the characters of The Original Series link up with Marvel's mutants after some cross-dimensional shenanigans involving Proteus, who now spends his days chilling in Krakoa.

Weird concept, but just roll with it. Marvel briefly had a Paramount Comics imprint and it did... not last, but it is also kinda-sorta-but-not-really responsible for the MCU, as it was the first deal the two companies ever made together, so... cool?

Anyway, as with most involuntary crossovers, the two teams don't exactly see eye-to-eye when they first meet. This leads to Wolverine getting into a scrap with Spock, who proceeds to hand ol' Canucklehead his ass on a plate, courtesy of the famous Vulcan nerve pinch.
