IS IT POSSIBLE: Can Wolverine's Claws Stab Through Superman's Skin?

Very good question. I'm sure that they could damage him, but barely. Not enough for serious damage. Make this a series!!!

I think they will give Supes a good cut or three but no actually stab through him.

Who hasn't had this debate with a buddy! Its a good one. I'm a classic DC nut and my buddy is a die hard Wolverine fan. We agreed there is nothing in either universe or actual "science" to suggest adamantium would do little more than a few cuts. Sorta like Doomsday's bone-fists. It'd break skin but probably not much else.

@TheMarvelite "Superman is overrated. Of course Wolverine's claws can stab through Superman's skin." - Have you ever read a Superman Comic???

@jjk2814 - I have had this conversation, and similar others before and the answer is inevitably always the same. Its up to the writers. If they want to show how dangerous wolvie is, supes would get cut, if they want to show off Superman's invulnerability, then he wont.

That is the only undisputable answer there could ever be to a question like this.

I mean if you type these character's powers and feats in real world physics, no way could Wolverine do anything to Superman. But by those same rules, he shouldn't be able to scratch hulk or thor, but he can...

...or how can Hulk take everything Mjolnir has to give and still get pierced by wolvies claws...?

Very true, MoondoggyX, very true.

According to Michio Kaku, the answer is no...

If Doomsday's bone claws can cut Superman, then yes, Wolverine's claws could too.

Adamantium can cut through anything, Superman's skin cannot protect against everything. Its that simple.

It wouldnt matter anyway. Supes could move faster than Wolvie can perceive. Not only that, but he could just float in the air continuously burn Wolvie with heat vision. This fight would last all of 4 seconds.

@ moondoggy

Very true. Hulk's invulnerability is actually due to a super healing factor that heals him almost as instantly as he's hurt. Yet Wolverine's claws always seem to leave lasting cuts. Its all up to the writers in the end.

But with Supes, we've seen Doomsday's BONE claws cut him. Of they can do it, then surely adamantium can.

(sorry Moondoggy, did not see your Hulk comment before I commented)

What about a lightsaber? Would that cut through superman or Wolverine's adamantium skeleton?

@CDB - thanks. And doomsday strength >>>>> wolverine strength. Lol

@ghost - supes has been around for 70 years, so in all that time he's survived almost everything. At his most ridiculous, he's survived direct hits from planetary death-rays, doomsday missiles and even in the middle of a freaking star(billions of tons of pressure and millions of degrees) and black holes virtually unscaved. Stuff like that makes it hard to believe wolvie would have any effect.

good question, adamantium is alien in origin so it should be possible that the metal could cut Superman. However Supes has gone up against other metals from alien worlds that have been said to be similar to adamantium and they didnt do shit to Supes.

Since Superman has never actually gone up against anything with adamantium before its a complete unknown, but yeah I gotta agree with most and say Wolverine himself does not have the muscle/force to actually do so.

I never compared Doomsday's strength Wolvie. The question is whether or not Wolvies claws can cut Superman. Yes they can. That doesnt mean Wolvie is strong enough to make them, though.

But is bones are capable of doing it, then so are adamantium.

Well the picture is definitly not possible... even if Superman's skin is to thick for the adamantium to penitrate, Wolverine stabbing motion does not have enough force to bend the claws... what would most likely happen is the claws would be forced back up into Wolverine's forearms

Wolverine's claws were able to slightly cut Thor, and IMO, Thor has greater durability than Supes. It's possible

If it wasn't a clash of different superhero universes it would still be a case of an unstoppable object meets an unmoveable force.

Impossible Argument Invalid.

@Sagemode - "Wolverine's claws were able to slightly cut Thor, and IMO, Thor has greater durability than Supes. It's possible." - Perfect example of writer's BS!

"Godlike Invulnerability: Being a god whose heritage is half-Asgardian & half-Elder God affords Thor absolute invulnerability and immunity to such human ailments as diseases, toxins, poisons, corrosives, fire, electrocution, asphyxiation, lead, and radiation poisoning.[60][61][62][63] Thor can drink mead all day long and not get drunk. He has withstood direct blows from beings with vast superhuman strength such as the Hulk, Hercules, Gladiator, Silver Surfer, Thanos, and the Red hulk. Thor can survive in the heart of the Sun with no discomfort,[64] has flown through the heart of stars,[65] and survived point blank range energy explosions capable of destroying entire planets.[66] He has survived a supernova blast of an exploding star unharmed,[24] the gravity of a Neutron Star,[66] and withstood the weight of a score of entire planets.[67] Thor was able to survive direct multiple blasts from the Asgardian Destroyer (the weapon created by Odin and the gods from multiple pantheons to battle the Celestials).[68] Thor also once took a glancing hit by a Doomsday Bomb that was capable of destroying an entire planet, and soon after that explosion he fell from space (leaving a crater miles wide) to a planet called Pangoria.[66] He has withstood a blast from Odin (who is far more powerful than Thor),[69] attacks from Celestials,[25] and even withstood attacks from the leader of the Celestials.[70] With his powers reduced in half, Thor was able to withstand a blow from the Executioners axe (a weapon that wields the energy of an exploding star).[71] Thor is extremely difficult to kill as his life force is considerably augmented by his godlike heritage, powers, Mjolnir, and the Odin Force - even if it is only relegated within Mjolnir as a smaller portion at the moment.[72]" - marvel.wikia.com/Thor_Odinson_(Earth-616)

The fact that wolverine was able to even scratch something that could survive all of that goes against every law of physics... The only thin in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE more powerful and dangerous than the center of a star is BLACK HOLE. So really no one should be able to hurt thor unless they were at least that powerful... Wolverine's claws more damaging than the center of a star, I think not...

WRITER BS!!!

My dad can beat up your dad. ^^

NO. GOSH HAS ANYONE READ THE COMICS. SUPERMAN, CAN FLY THROUGH THE SUN. NO.

the only things wolverine hasn't been able to cut are things with magical enchantments or energy charge. like mjolnir or the black knight's ebony sword
