The mutant Wolverine of the popular X-Men franchise is considered a hero on the sheer force of his determination to fight for the underdog whether it be mutant children or a grizzly bear. Besides an almost instant healing power and keen senses, Wolverine also has a skeleton cased in adamantium (another fictional metal in the Marvel Universe) and a wicked set of razor-sharp adamantium claws. This makes him the most ridiculously indestructible character ever created. It also means that Wolverine can slice through just about anything from opponents' limbs to steel doors depending on whatever he's mad at in that particular moment. In his latest movie The Wolverine the titular hero engages in a lengthy fight with a villain wielding a samurai sword. It is one of the more exciting scenes in the film if you don't take into account that the fight should have taken a whopping three seconds. Wolvie's claws should have sliced the attacker's sword into pieces the first time they clashed. In the previous solo Wolverine movie, he used his claws to tear a metal fire-escape to shreds and cut through a steel security door like butter. He destroyed a bathroom sink just by resting his claws against it. Even if an audience member can be convinced that this fictional indestructable material can become duller over the decades between films, Wolverine still used the claws to stab through the top of a speeding train in the same film he couldn't use them to cut apart a sword.
