10 Wolverine Fates Worse Than Death

8. Being Eaten Alive

Uncanny X-Force Apocalypse Solution Wolverine Death
Marvel Comics

While having a healing factor that makes you hard to kill is one thing, that healing factor doesn't mean that somebody can't subdue you and then eat your flesh.

It sounds disturbing as all hell, but that was indeed what happened to Wolverine back in Frank Tieri and Sean Chen's Hunted story of 2001.

This all comes about after Logan and Beast wind up trapped in a prison specially designed for - and full of! - supervillains. If that in itself wasn't bad enough, things take a bizarre turn for the worst when Wolverine's cellmate ends up being a resurrected 18th century sorcerer known as Mauvais. Translated from French, that name literally means "bad".

Making his debut here, Mauvais is not just a sorcerer, but he's also a cannibal. Upon taking a few choice bites out of the tied up Wolverine, the rogue's powers start to increase and fix up any of the villains' aches, pains and deceased nature - with the flesh of Logan being full of the 'healing factor' protein that makes it particularly tasty for Mauvais.
