9. Having His Healing Power Tested By The Punisher (Aim Low)
There are few Marvel heroes more suited to a more mature story than The Punisher. Hes a man who views justice in black and white, reacting to those who cross his rigid line with deadly force. Pitting such a force of nature against Logan would make for one of the most epic conflicts ever to grace cinema screens. Frank Castle doesnt work with others (even when there's a gang of evil midgets to be thwarted) and certainly doesnt mess around, something which Wolverine finds out at a hefty cost when the two collide. Knowing of Logans healing factor, The Punisher knows better than to go easy on the hairy mutant and deals with the issue the only way he knows how, with needless violence. After blasting Logans face off, kneecapping him and shooting him in the groin from point blank range with a shotgun, Castle has a little think about the best way to keep Wolverine off his trail and settles on an option many would consider psychopathic. To ensure Logan stays put, The Punisher crushes his entire body up to his forearms with a steamroller. Ouch. While theres little chance of this exact exchange making it into Wolverine III, an R-Rating allows the movie to examine just how much punishment the central character can take. Since theyve been given free reign with violence, its probably best they make the most of it.
