12 Wolverine Has Hurt Thanos But Never Beat Him Thanos snapped away half the universe pretty soon after getting the Gauntlet, before the heroes even knew he had it, ravaging the universe.
While audiences never got to see Quicksilver at full power, super-speed is one of the best abilities a hero can have when facing an enemy like Thanos. With enough training, Quicksilver would have been more than capable of defeating Thanos when he finally arrived in Infinity War.
Now, with this comic, it seems the Hulk can go even further than complete incapacitation, but full-blown murder, as he proved twice in a row that he's strong enough to simply beat Wolverine to death - a death that would take effect before Wolverine's healing factor.
Deadpool kills Wolverine by using a sword made from carbonadium that slows down his healing factor, stabbing him and nullifying his regeneration. X-23 temporarily defeats Wolverine's healing factor by hacking and slashing at him and adding dirt to his wounds, preventing his skin from repairing itself.
But it speaks to the true limits of mutant strength that Wolverine is on the list, but he's nowhere near the top of it. It's true that in addition to his famous claws and unkillable healing factor, Wolverine is also blessed with enhanced strength, reflexes, agility, and endurance.
Thanos vs Wolverine: Can Wolverine Beat the Mad Titan?
Which Avenger could beat Wolverine?
Thor has battled some of the most dangerous villains ever and is superlatively powerful. The God of Thunder is one of the few Avengers with more combat experience than Wolverine, and his greater power would give him a huge advantage over the mutant.
While Thor is easily the more powerful of the two, he finds himself incapable of matching Wolverine's speed and agility. The mutant is able to get in several swipes at the Asgardian - drawing blood - and even goes full leapfrog on him, impaling him through the back with all six adamantium claws.
It wouldn't matter because Logan would keep getting up and using those claws to slice and dice through Thanos and his armor. Thanos wouldn't be easy to destroy, even without the Gauntlet, but he wouldn't be able to regain his strength.
Juggernaut and the X-Men have had some fierce battles, and while Wolverine has played a key role in beating the Juggernaut — usually using his claws to remove Juggernaut's helmet for the X-Men's telepaths can take him down — he has never defeated Juggernaut on his own.
As you all know, Wolverine kills Deadpool at the end of X-Men Origins:Wolverine, but somehow Deadpool returns around 30 or so years in the movie timeline later for 2 more solo movies and another one upcoming.
Wolverine and Deadpool have fought many times, each getting some wins. However, Deadpool probably has a lead in wins and losses between the two. Wolverine definitely can beat Deadpool and is stronger than him, but Deadpool's speed and healing factor have allowed him to get the drop on Wolverine and do a lot of damage.
While Thanos has demonstrated a strong combat capability, dismantling Hulk in a series of rapid, well-aimed punches in Infinity War, taking into account Goku's Ki, transformations, and absolute refusal to give up until he's given it his all, Goku comes out on top.
By most accounts, Superman seemingly outclasses Thor in terms of raw strength, especially in earlier versions of the DC Universe. He's pulled planets, punched people into orbit, and performed all sorts of wild feats of strength.
Wolverine has tried to kill or otherwise attack Magneto many times in X-Men canon, sometimes in the comics and other times in the movies/cartoons, and every time ends the same: Magneto easily defeats him.
Wolverine, given enough time, could defeat Colossus in a fight using only his claws, but he would have a terrifically difficult time doing so; the latter's skin is made of adamantium, same as Logan's claws, and even a demon-controlled Wolverine can do very little against him.
During a sparring session, he put his fist under her chin and popped the 2 outer claws but she tapped out before the 3rd claw. So, I'd say yes, Wolverine or Black Panther could cut Colossus with their adamantium or vibranium claws. But unlike the claws, Colossus could heal.
His adamantium claws are one of the few weapons in the Marvel Universe that can consistently pierce Hulk's skin and Wolverine has no problem going for Hulk's head. In fact, if it came down to it, Wolverine could cut Hulk's head off, ending the Hulk once and for all.
Thanos and Hulk have clashed several times in Marvel lore, with Thanos even admitting he was scared to face the Hulk before acquiring the Infinity Stones. While Thanos is usually the victor, it's generally down to him using superior tactics and technology, rather than simply possessing greater physical strength.
Finally, Logan battled Banner himself, but the fight was short-lived. Not long after Banner ate Logan, the mutant began healing himself and ripped through the Hulk's stomach, killing him. It was a completely unexpected way to end a Hulk and Wolverine fight, and the comic was better for it.
Wolverine more than proved that he's a hero, but the amount of bad things he'd been involved in burned his soul. While Wolverine would never be worthy of Mjolnir, he wouldn't hesitate to support and fight alongside anyone who wielded it.
Wolverine has defeated the Hulk in the past, most notably by burrowing inside of him and bursting out of his body. However, due to the easily forgotten fact that Hulk actually has even better healing capabilities than Wolverine, the Hulk vs Wolverine debate is far more complicated than you may think.
