10 Most Badass Wolverine Moments

5. Rejecting A Brood Egg - Uncanny X-Men #162

The Brood are one of the most disturbing creations that Chris Claremont ever came up with for the X-Men mythos, and that is one packed list to be on, let me tell you. They are essentially the Xenomorphs of the Marvel universe, with their favorite hobbies including laying eggs in people so that those people can then be sustenance for the hatched Brood when they are born.

So with that setup in mind, it's really no wonder that The Brood would see Wolverine and decide that a guy whose body never stops regenerating would make the perfect meal, so Wolverine eventually finds himself infected with a Brood Egg while trying to save his friends from the horrid creatures.

This is where readers are given, for the first time, a true glimpse at what it's like to have one of these things in your body, not just rooting around in your guts, but also infecting your mind with its consciousness. However, Wolverine manages to use that to his advantage, eventually getting the better of the monster and destroying it while it's still inside of him, overwhelming it with sheer force of will. ]

Because Wolverine is just that badass.
