Wolverine Proves He Could Kill Superman, But Not Batman

Wolverine-Hyperion.avif 107.65 KB
In the alternate reality depicted in "Heroes Reborn: Weapon X and Final Flight #1," Wolverine demonstrates his prowess by taking down Hyperion, a Superman analogue, but faces a crushing defeat at the hands of Nighthawk, the Batman counterpart. This narrative unfolds within the broader context of Marvel's "Heroes Reborn" event, which reimagines the universe without the Avengers and introduces the Squadron Supreme as Earth's primary defenders—a group reminiscent of DC's Justice League.

Nighthawk, Marvel's version of Batman, is portrayed as Kyle Richmond, a congressman who adopts a vigilante persona. Despite possessing supernatural abilities unlike Batman, Nighthawk closely mirrors the Dark Knight's persona. Hyperion, the Superman equivalent, possesses all of Superman's powers but lacks his moral compass, twisting American ideals to justify his actions and engaging in merciless killings throughout the series.

In "Heroes Reborn #7," Wolverine seeks vengeance for the death of Jean Grey by defeating Hyperion with the aid of a magical enchantment on his claws. However, in "Weapon X and Final Flight #1," Nighthawk easily overpowers Wolverine, explaining that Hyperion's downfall stemmed from his overconfidence and lack of preparation, unlike Nighthawk who meticulously studies his adversaries' weaknesses. Although Wolverine is teleported away before the fight's conclusion, Nighthawk emerges as the clear victor, leaving Wolverine battered and defeated.

This clash between characters from different publishers offers fans a unique opportunity to witness their favorite Marvel and DC characters intersect, albeit indirectly. Through Nighthawk and Hyperion, Marvel provides insights into hypothetical battles between Wolverine and DC's iconic figures. While Superman's immense power would seemingly overpower Wolverine, his underestimation of his opponent's specific skill set would ultimately lead to his defeat. Conversely, Batman's strategic brilliance and knowledge of Wolverine's weaknesses would secure his victory, showcasing his mastery as a combatant and tactician.

In "Heroes Reborn: Weapon X and Final Flight #1," Marvel offers fans a definitive, canonical answer to this hypothetical scenario, shedding light on how these iconic characters would fare in battle.
