10 Most Badass Wolverine Moments

1. Surviving A Nuke - The Wolverine

As all Marvel fans are no doubt well aware, the reason Wolverine can live through what he has for as long as he has is due to his other mutant superpower, a near perfect healing factor that can bring him back to peak physical condition pretty damn quickly regardless of the injury sustained.

While the effectiveness of this healing factor varies from writer to writer (many fans were shocked that Wolverine DIDN'T survive the events of the Mother Mold arc, to give you an idea) it's generally agreed that it can get him through most scrapes.

With that having been said, surviving a NUCLEAR FREAKING BOMB is still a pretty damn impressive feat, regardless of caveats.

As The Wolverine revealed, Logan had been a soldier in WWII, captured by the Japanese and brought to an internment camp near the end of the war. However, that camp just happened to be near the doomed city of Nagasaki. As a result, Logan got a front row seat to one of the most devastating events in human history. And he survived.

If that alone isn't enough to give Wolverine a permanent spot in the badass hall of fame, I honestly don't know what does.
