10 Most Badass Wolverine Moments

6. Cutting Off Sabretooth's Head - Wolverine #55

Wolverine Hulk
Marvel Comics

Wolverine and Sabretooth are easily one of the most famous rivalries in all of comics. The two mutants may not have had anything to do with each other when they were each created (nor were they even mutants but that's a different story) but by god do they hate each other's guts these days.

And one of the most climactic "finales" to their lifelong feud is by far Wolverine #55.

Finally fed up with Sabretooth's shenanigans for a wide variety of reasons - honestly at this point just pick one - Wolverine decides to be rid of Sabretooth once and for all.

So when they fight in this issue, Logan brings with him a little Game Shark in the form of the Muramasa blade, the only blade on the planet that can actually kill mutants like him or Sabretooth by negating their healing factor.

After a gloriously brutal fight, Wolverine finally gets the better of his lifelong rival, and slices his head clean off. And, again, since it's the Muramasa blade, he doesn't need to worry about Sabretooth getting back up five minutes later.
