Everyone's favourite grumpy war veteran might be one of the most powerful characters in any superhero movie, but crucially he's also grounded by his humanism and his capacity for abject grumpiness.

But like Deadpool, the fact that he is mostly invulnerable (unless you depower him) makes him a hugely over-powered figure. And add to that the fact that he's got the whole Berserker Rage power kicking about too and you've got a recipe for one of the most notorious tanks in the genre.

Most Over-Powered Moment

There are two most notable ones: first shrugging off the Phoenix stripping his flesh from his bones to kill her in The Last Stand and then somehow surviving Professor X's explosive episode in the time before Logan that killed the rest of the X-Men. Given that Xavier had already proved he could potentially kill all mutants with his mind, that's seriously impressive going.

Any Weaknesses?

He can be emotionally manipulated, but short of taking away his powers, there's not a lot you can do to stop Logan when he's committed.
