While Wolverine is yet to make the jump to the MCU, fans are excitedly awaiting his imminent arrival. But before the adamantium crusader shows, it’s fun to think about how he would stack up in battle against some other established MCU movie characters.
For a while, fans’ hopes of seeing Wolverine show up as part of the MCU seemed like a pipe dream. Fox happened to own the right to many Marvel characters, including the X-Men, which effectively ruled out Wolverine’s appearance in the MCU’s stories. But when Disney (who owns Marvel) purchased Fox, the rights to most of the previously untouchable Marvel comic characters, suddenly became available to Disney, meaning that all of them can, and likely will show up in the MCU sooner or later. Now, it’s just a matter of when not if.
So how does a guy like Wolverine make friends? By fighting other characters, at least at first. It’s also how he makes most of his enemies. Wolverine’s abilities and particular attributes are certainly noteworthy, but can she stack up against other Marvel characters in a straight-up battle? While the battle comparisons are endless, let’s take a look at 5 characters who Wolverine would certainly trump in a fight, and 5 he is likely to fall to.
Who Would Wolverine Beat In A Fight
1. Wolverine Would Beat Nick Fury
In every version of the multiverse, Nick Fury has one eye. In the MCU he loses it to an alien cat’s scratch. In the Ultimate version, it is actually to Wolverine. The encounter that led to this loss could have been much worse for both characters. Nick Fury is always prepared and ready to address almost any situation. But dealing with a mutant with unbreakable claws made of the most powerful metal on earth, on top of a healing factor, takes more than just a lot of planning, and Nick Fury just doesn’t have the physical prowess to win this conflict.
2. Wolverine Would Beat Ant-Man
Captain America Civil War features a fight between Ant-Man and Falcon, and its….odd. But a fight with Ant-Man and Wolverine, well that would be a different level of odd. In fighting prowess alone, Ant-Man can’t touch Wolverine, but his rapidly shifting shape does make him a formidable combatant. But at any size, Wolverine still has the edge. If Ant-Man grows large, Wolverine could use his claws to cut at his Achillies tendons, and if he goes small, Wolverine can turn to his senses, enhanced by his mutant genetics, to simply sense where Ant-Man was. If Ant-Man were to go subatomic and escape to the Quantum realm, he can escape, but in a fight, he is unlikely to win.
3. Wolverine Would Beat Korg
Korg is a loyal friend to Thor, having united with him at a slaver’s battle arena. The two even fought together to try to save Asgard as Sakaar arrived to destroy it. Korg is large, strong, and as hard as a rock (since he is made out of the stuff), but his downfall is he is simply far too nice. Unless pressed, he does not have a killer instinct that will allow him to bring himself to kill Wolverine. Wolverine, on the other hand, is unlikely to mind tearing into Korg to discover his insides.
4. Wolverine Would Beat Spider-Man
Speaking of characters who would be disadvantaged by the lack of a killer instinct, Wolverine would likely fare well against Spider-Man too. In the comics, the two had a rocky start to their relationship, mostly because Wolverine found Spider-Man to be excessively annoying. Over time, however, they became close friends and allies. How the MCU would deal with a fight between the two is hard to determine, but Spidey is new to the battle arena, and Wolverine has been in the game for quite some time, so the latter certainly holds an advantage.
5. Wolverine Would Beat Captain America
After serving humanity with all he had, Steve Rogers abdicated the mantle of Captain America, designating Sam Wilson (Falcon) to take over. While Sam now has an upgraded suit for his Cap adventures, he has the infamous shield and years of extensive combat experience. But even with all that, Wolverine is far too aggressive, vicious, and ruthless in a fight. The new Cap is more about mending ways with people than starting conflicts.
Who Would Wolverine Lose To In A Fight
1. Wolverine Would lose to Scarlet Witch
If Wolverine thinks he can take down Scarlet Witch, he is dead wrong. Of the known characters in the MCU, Scarlet Witch is easily in the top 5 most powerful beings, and at present time neither she nor the audience knows the full range and scope of her power’s vastness. If Wolverine stood a chance it would only be from a sneak attack that results in a well-placed kill shot. That is assuming that surprising Scarlet Witch with an attack she does not expect is even possible…
2. Wolverine Would lose to War Machine
As an expert of weaponry, Tony Stark went to great lengths to outfit his best friend James Rhodes’s War Machine armor with a stockade of armaments. Adding to the fact that Rhodes is a first-class fighter pilot, it makes him in the War Machine gear incredibly powerful and dangerous. Wolverine does have claws that can slice through anything given enough time, but even if he tried, it’s doubtful he would have the time he needs to do so while Rhodey is unloading weapons into him.
3. Wolverine Would lose to Black Panther
When Wolverine makes his MCU appearance, it is more than likely that many other heroes won’t see him coming. But that does not apply to Black Panther. His intelligence, training, and the powers endued in him by the Black Panther spirit will simply not be something that Wolverine can reasonably deal with. Though Wolverine’s adamantium make-up makes him one of the planet’s most durable creatures, Black Panther’s access to loads of Vibranium makes him more than capable of being a formidable and likely, insurmountable foe.
4. Wolverine Would lose to Gamora
After killing half of Gamora’s homeworld, Thanos kidnapped the young Gamora and raised her to be a vicious, powerful woman. Growing up with such a challenging childhood made Gamora an immensely strong character and adversary for anyone who dares to confront her. Not only does that put her as a fighter who might be formidable enough to face off with Wolverine, but she also has access to a universe stock-full of advanced weapons and technology that Wolverine, in all his healing essence, would not have an answer to.
5. Wolverine Would lose to Hulk
While not yet seen in the MCU, in the comics Wolverine and Hulk have a highly tumultuous history between them. In fact, the first issue that Wolverine appeared in Marvel’s lore, he had an all-out battle with the green gamma giant. Over the years, they have smoothed things out to a degree, but when it comes to the two meeting eventually in the MCU, we can only imagine the level of conflict that might be produced by such a confrontation. Wolverine is strong and resourceful, but Hulk’s utter brute force will just be too much for him to handle.
Conclusion:
The question of which MCU characters Wolverine could beat and lose to is a matter of speculation and interpretation. While Wolverine’s abilities and experience make him a formidable opponent, there are certain characters in the MCU who possess unique powers or skills that could give them an advantage in a fight. Ultimately, the outcome of any hypothetical matchup between Wolverine and another character would depend on a variety of factors, including the context of the encounter, the characters’ motivations, and their respective levels of preparation and resourcefulness.
