10 Times Superheroes Were Forced To Kill Other Heroes

As a rule, finding out you’ve murdered everyone you’ve ever cared about in one fell swoop makes for a kind of rough day. This would explain why the Wolverine we see in Old Man Logan is so entirely different to the character we’re used to, after having murdered all of the X-Men under a Mysterio-based illusion that made them all appear as villains.

It’s just about the single most painful plot twist in Marvel history, and is also the most justifiable excuse for becoming a pacifist – even for a dude who looks as cool killing as Wolverine does.

The final panel of the scene – showing a gory montage of the murdered team – is the most beautifully drawn (albeit mentally scarring) thing, which is impressive when you remember this story has incestuous Hulks and a character called Spider-Bitch.
