Here’s every lethal event that Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) survived throughout Fox’s X-Men movie franchise. The undisputed main character of the long-running mutant saga, Wolverine AKA Logan appeared in a total of seven X-Men movies starting with the original film in 2000 up to 2014’s X-Men: Days of Future Past, including headlining his own solo spinoff trilogy, and also making cameo appearances in 2011’s X-Men: First Class and 2016’s X-Men: Apocalypse. (Scenes from Logan also appear in 2020’s The New Mutants.)

Although he’s best known for the Adamantium claws that pop out of his knuckles, the Wolverine’s primary mutant power is actually his incredible healing factor. Originally named James Howlett, Logan was born in 1832 in Canada’s Northwest Territories, and his healing factor has kept him from aging, as well as healed him from countless injuries that would have otherwise left him dead innumerable times. In the more than a century-and-a-half before he joined the X-Men, Logan was a soldier who fought in the American Civil War, World War II, and the Vietnam War. There is simply no way to measure how many times Logan has been shot or stabbed throughout those decades, but his healing factor always allowed him to endure it all and brought him back for more. But everything that happened to Logan hurt him, every time.

The X-Men movies took an almost perverse delight in finding innovative ways to torture Wolverine, since the plot device of his healing factor was always available to restore him to fighting form. Conversely, director James Mangold’s two Wolverine-centric spinoffs, 2013’s The Wolverine and 2017’s Logan, found ways to diminish or rob him of his mutant healing ability while upping the violence heaped upon Logan. Overall, no movie superhero has ever endured – or perhaps will ever endure – the sheer variety of physical and lethal abuse as Logan has over the course of the X-Men movie saga. Above and beyond merely being shot, stabbed, or even blown up, here are the worst things the Wolverine has lived through, until his final demise in Logan.

An Atomic Explosion In 1945

Everything Wolverine Survived In Foxs XMen Movies

As shown in the opening scene of The Wolverine, Logan was a POW of the Japanese during the atomic bombing of Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. Already at the wrong place at the wrong time, Logan heroically saves a Japanese officer named Ichiro Yashida; as the bomb detonated, the mutant threw Yashida into a bomb shelter and covered him with a metal door as his own body took the brunt of the atomic fireball. Logan was burned to a crisp but survived (although he was probably radioactive for a while).

Impaled With Metal Multiple Times By Magneto

Everything Wolverine Survived In Foxs XMen Movies

A man whose entire skeleton is coated with Adamantium is the worst choice to go up against Magneto, as Logan repeatedly proved. Yet this never stopped Wolverine from trying to take the magnetic mutant down, even though he constantly failed. In 1973, Magneto (Michael Fassbender) drove twisted metal rebar into Logan’s body and repeatedly impaled him. The older Magneto (Ian McKellan) would repeat this move decades later, which would rip apart and kill any other person except for Wolverine.

Drowned In Potomac River

Everything Wolverine Survived In Foxs XMen Movies

After Magneto rendered Logan immobile with multiple metallic impalings, he got rid of the feral mutant by hurling him into the Potomac River. Completely unable to free himself, Wolverine drowned. However, Logan is rescued by Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence), who was disguised as Major William Stryker (Josh Helman), and his mutant healing factor revived him at the end of X-Men: Days of Future Past.

The Weapon X Program

Everything Wolverine Survived In Foxs XMen Movies

Being subjected to the Weapon X program is one of the most harrowingly cruel things to ever happen to any superhero. In William Stryker’s bid to create the perfect, unstoppable soldier, Logan had all of his bones, including his claws, grafted with indestructible Adamantium. The procedure would have killed any normal person but Logan survived thanks to his healing factor, although he was traumatized by the agony for decades. Depending on which X-Men timeline is depicted, Logan also lost his memory from the Weapon X program and reverted to a savage, feral state as seen when he escaped the Alkalai Lake facility in X-Men: Apocalypse.

Shot In The Head By An Adamantium Bullet

Everything Wolverine Survived In Foxs XMen Movies

In X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Willam Stryker (Danny Houston) shot Logan in the forehead with an Adamantium bullet. Logan’s Adamantium skeleton and his healing factor saved him from this kill shot, but this is how he lost his memory in this version of the X-Men timeline, many years before he joined the X-Men and Professor Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) helped him recover the missing parts of his life.

Crashing Through Windshield Of His Truck

As seen in the original X-Men film released in 2000, Logan met Rogue (Anna Paquin) in the outskirts of Alberta, Canada, and their truck was attacked by Sabretooth (Tyler Mane). The resulting car accident sent Logan crashing through the windshield and he flew several yards, landing in the snow. Logan was only knocked unconscious but a normal person would likely be dead. Instead, Logan was brought to the Xavier School in Westchester, New York, where he was revived by Dr. Jean Grey (Famke Janssen).

Magneto’s Mutant Conversion Machine

Everything Wolverine Survived In Foxs XMen Movies

The finale of X-Men saw Wolverine enduring the debilitating effects of Magneto’s Mutant Conversion Machine as he saved Rogue’s life. The device’s blast wave was designed to alter human DNA and turn them into mutants (temporarily, the long term effects are lethal). Since he was already a mutant, Logan wasn’t transformed but he was still in tremendous pain from the device, which was exacerbated by Magneto using his powers to attack Wolverine and even bend his claws.

Fighting Deathstrike

One of the most violent battles in X-Men movie history occurred between Wolverine and Deathstrike (Kelly Hu) in X2: X-Men United. Deathstrike was a mutant who was mind-controlled by Col. William Stryker (Brian Cox) and she had similar powers to Wolverine, including Adamantium fingernails that could grow several feet long. Deathstrike savagely impaled Wolverine with her claws multiple times, enough to kill any normal person, before Logan won the fight by drowning Deathstrike in liquid Adamantium.

Dark Phoenix Burned His Flesh Off

Logan was in love with Jean Grey and tried in vain to save her even after she transformed into Dark Phoenix and killed Cyclops (James Marsden) and Professor X. In X-Men: The Last Stand’s climactic battle at Alcatraz, Wolverine took the full brunt of Jean’s unleashed psychic powers. Dark Phoenix’s fury literally burned the flesh, muscles, and organs off of Logan’s bones as his healing factor was pushed to its limits to restore him. Finally, Logan reached Jean and killed her with his claws but any other mutant who tried to face Dark Phoenix head-on would have been dead.

Shot With Multiple Arrows By Ninjas

Everything Wolverine Survived In Foxs XMen Movies

In The Wolverine, Logan was robbed of his mutant healing factor, rendering more vulnerable than ever before. The Wolverine survived violent encounters with the Yakuza, including a battle atop a bullet train, and he was already in bad shape when he faced a clan of ninjas. The ninjas shot multiple arrows into Wolverine’s back, each attached to chains that they used to draw and quarter him.

Performed Self-Surgery To Remove Heart Parasite

Everything Wolverine Survived In Foxs XMen Movies

Logan discovered a robotic parasite was attached to his heart by Dr. Green AKA Viper (Svetlana Khodchenkova), which was the cause of his suppressed healing factor. Naturally, Logan decided to perform heart surgery on himself, slashing his own torso open with his Adamantium claw to remove the parasitic device. Later, in a battle with the older Ichiro Yashida (Haruhiko Yamanouchi), who became the Silver Samurai, Logan’s Adamantium claws were sliced off, but his healing factor regenerated his bone claws.

Being Sent Back Through Time

Everything Wolverine Survived In Foxs XMen Movies

In the X-Men: Days of Future Past comics, Kitty Pryde travels back in time to the past but in the film, Wolverine is the only person whose mind could survive the experience of time travel. It’s explained that not even Charles Xavier’s mind could endure the damage of being sent back decades but Logan’s healing factor allowed him to endure the ordeal. However, Logan still suffered from Kitty Pryde’s (Ellen Page) time travel powers, which shot his mind back from the apocalyptic 2023 timeline, and an accident temporarily left Wolverine as an amnesiac in 1973.

Shot With A Shotgun And Beaten With Tire Irons

Everything Wolverine Survived In Foxs XMen Movies

In Logan’s alternate 2029 timeline, James Howlett begins the film asleep in the limousine he drives as a chauffeur when he finds a gang of thieves trying to jack his tires. When Logan tries to reason with them, one of the criminals immediately shoots the Wolverine in the chest with a shotgun. Logan didn’t die from the kill shot, even though his depleted healing factor revived him in agony. The gang beat the revived former X-Man with crowbars and tire irons before Logan responded with even more savage violence and killed them all.

Professor X’s Psychic Seizure

Everything Wolverine Survived In Foxs XMen Movies

The aged Professor X is terminally ill in Logan, suffering from a degenerative brain disease that once caused a psychic blast which killed the X-Men, except for Wolverine, who became his old mentor’s caretaker. After they met Laura AKA X-23 (Dafne Keen), who is Logan’s cloned “daughter”, the trio took a road trip that brought them to a hotel and casino in Oklahoma. But Xavier had a psychic relapse when soldiers from Transigen arrived to abduct Laura and the telepath inadvertently unleashed another lethal psychic blast, which Logan managed to endure in order to give Charles a shot of his medicine.

Fighting X-24

Wolverine faced “himself” in Logan as he was outmatched by X-24, his mindless clone who had all of his abilities and savagery and who wasn’t handicapped by a failing healing factor. In Logan’s climactic battle, the Wolverine, who was dying, used a serum that temporarily boosted his healing abilities, but he was still overpowered by X-24, who impaled Logan on the sharp branches of a fallen tree trunk. Laura killed X-24 with an Adamantium bullet but this was, at last, the beating Logan could no longer survive and he finally died from his injuries, which marked the end of the Wolverine’s very long and brutal life in the X-Men movie franchise.
