“I call it the dangerously conductive electrical unit. Or DCEU”
I agree, putting Wolverine in the DCEU would DEFINITELY kill him forever...
I started laughing a loud when he said that 😂
Ha!
Because Batman... er I mean science.
"where heros go to die"
Of all the quotes I've heard in the day that youtube randomly suggested I watch this channel. This has been without a doubt the most SAVAGE.
you just made the signature evil antagonist error of telling the hero all your plans before actually trying to dispatch of him -.-
also, id like to think that that is actually how wolverine reads his scientific papers. like shish-kebab.
Didnt Magneto try to drown Wolverine in Days of Future Past?
Just tied him up in steel beams and dropped him in a lake.
It worked, he went into a coma-like state until he was found. He was dying and only the leftover oxygen in his body kept him alive long enough. How long it would be necessary in order for him to completely die off is unknown but that would work given enough time.
He didn't intend for Wolverine to land in the lake. He just restrained him and tossed him away like "Begone THOT".
But he had to at least be in there for an entire day because a news paper had already been printed on the events that magneto caused
@@Squaroot yeah he was in there for a long time. Days. And still lived without any permanent negative ramifications
@B N. yep
The problem with the oxygen solution is that as soon as you re-expose him to normal air, he'd probably come back because his healing factor doesn't work like a mere human's. It's like a separeted thing besides the regular healing; maybe it would work if one waited days or months to make sure that not a single cell would be alive at all to start the regeneration;
The concussion problem is that his healing factor would still regenerate the brain after some moments and he would be back on his feet.
I think that cooking him would work if NO TISSUE AT ALL survived. But as far as one cell is alive, he can come back.
Just make a permanent room without Oxygen
I would think that cell needs a food source to replicate itself, and therefore has to hunt. Would he restart as like a predatory single cell? I think it would be interesting if, in order to heal, he has to have the available protein in proportions to his injury.
Wolverine gets knocked out all the time. Sometimes it takes 6 punches from World War hulk, sometimes Spiderman can do it. 🤷🏽♂️
wolverine regenerated completely after being hit with a nuke
I think the real answer here, is that it depends on who is writing.
I laughed when he said, "Where heroes go to die... DCEU."
Ok
It took me a minute for that to sink in. It was like "Where have I heard that before?.... oooohh!"

If oxygen so important to healing, then deadpool's movie has some questions to answer...
Алексей it could just be a more complicated chemical healing that his genetics developed
@@AmxDude1969 Now that I think about it, that might be it, since he was "suffocating" for so long, his body maybe went; "You know what? Screw this oxygen crap"
Atlas he died over and over agin but his healing factor saved him over and over agin
@@atlas2061 Actually a very possible scenario, his cells might have adapted to using some other oxidizing-like molecule that wasn't oxygen, since I'm not very good with chemistry, I wouldn't know what sort of replacement that would be, but its possible.
No it’s not
Dangerously Conductive Electrical Unit :DCEU
I have never laughed so loud
This should be a new series. A “How to defeat...” series.
How to defeat T series, WITH SCIENCE
Enderblaze Animations Yeah, basically how to defeat them w/ Science
@Enderblaze Animations There are many ways to defeat superman without having to get into an actual battle with him. You could vaporise kryptonite. You could fire red sun rays at him to depower him quickly, you could find a way to make him sun dip and then alter the constitution of the star into a red star instead. Effectively disintegrating him. A lot of these ideas have probably been employed in some fashion. I know the kryptonite gas and red sun rays has been used to great effect and has even defeated evil variations of superman because they aren't protected by plot armour.
@Enderblaze Animations If we're pulling from Dragon Ball, a better one would be Cell. He has the healing factor to regen from a single cell and the ability to exist in any environment (so no oxygen deprivation). Main hurdle is not really knowing his physiology and having to come up with something or assume he's humanoid in terms of organ location and structure.
How to defeat procrastination tempt.

I laughed out SO loud.... savage.
Total coincidence -- kH
Wolverine's claws are strong enough to carve his way out of any box we might want to put him in, so trying to maintain a vacuum- or water-tight chamber would be very difficult. If he saw the room flooding with water, or heard the turbo pumps turn on and suddenly couldn't inhale under vacuum, he would go straight for the walls and cut a hole, foiling this plan. However, there is a more reliable, affordable, dangerous way to end the mighty Wolverine. If you can replace even half of the atmosphere with an odorless, colorless inert gas like nitrogen, Logan would become euphoric, content, and eventually pass out with a smile on his face, never once thinking he needs to escape. Destin Sandlin of Smarter Every Day shows a great demonstration of what happens when you suffer even a mild case of apoxia. All it would take is an abandoned warehouse where you have replaced the entire atmosphere with nitrogen gas and made up a good reason for him to go snooping around in there. Maintaining a good seal on the door isn't even necessary - once he starts exploring, the little bit of oxygen from the door he opened and leaks in the building wouldn't come close to reconstituting the 8% O2 minimum needed to survive.
Sources:
www.geography.hunter.cuny.edu/tbw/wc.notes/1.atmosphere/oxygen_and_human_requirements.htm
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inert_gas_asphyxiation
Having said that, I want people to be aware that entering inert environments causes a tragic number of deaths in the chemical industry every year. According to the Chemical Safety Board, at least 80 people died due to nitrogen asphyxiation between 1992 and 2002 in the US alone. All it takes is two or three breaths before the victim passes out, never realizing that anything was wrong. That's why the CSB recommends that people in my field NOT try to save anyone passed out inside of or near process equipment. Almost half of all asphyxiation deaths are would-be rescuers who didn't realize the danger and stepped in to help, only to fall victim to the same fate.
In X2, they show his claw marks on the walls. In The Last Stand, he slows his fall by scratching walls. And in X-men Origins: Wolverine, his claws slice through concrete like butter.
.
But why people keep saying fill the room with gas? It takes too long. And Wolverine has super smell.
@@ninjahombrepalito1721 I agree that filling with other gases like CO2 or some other asphyxiant / poison would be a quick sign that he should run away, but I don't think he would be able to smell nitrogen. It makes up 79% of the air we breathe, and is completely inert. Since it's inert, then by definition his nose won't be able to detect it, since nitrogen can't bind to any olfactory receptors. As for how long it takes to fill a warehouse, just buy a truckload of compressed N2 bottles, put on a rebreather, open them all to vent, and close the door on your way out. Each bottle can displace 44 cubic meters of atmosphere (2200 psig in 300L bottles), so for a 5000 m^3 warehouse, that's 120 bottles. At 40$ a bottle, you would knock him out for under $50K USD (well within a villain's superhero-termination budget).
@@donniemorrow Wolverine opens the door; realizes the inside of warehouse smells like nothing; figures that probably means it's full of a gas he can't breathe; walks away.
@@ilovethelegend not exactly, but it would get harder to breathe, or he would start feeling weird. And then he would seek fresh air. Gas can take between minutes and hours to kill a person depending on the gas. And Wolverine is no ordinary person.
Actually, if the wall was thicker than his claws are long, he would have a really hard time getting out. Think about it. You cant cut a hole in it if its thicker than ur claws. You would need to cut chunks out of the wall, or smash through it.
The concussion thing depends on how his healing factor works. In the comics it's practically magic so I assume he could recover from even brain injury almost instantly.
"You can't heal without oxygen" deadpool "Am I a joke to you?"
Ebin Cain That's magic, though. Not comparable.
@@djrocksgaming6255 I think they were talking about the movie, where he was in a vacuum chamber to unlock his powers, but still survived.
Which burn is more severe: Wolverine melting in the DCEU, or the DCEU being named as such?
I like the DCEU naming convention. "A Place where heroes go to die..."
'DCEU' is a name coined by a columnist as a joke. Neither DC nor Warner bros. use the term or acknowledge it, it's still stuck though.
Already subscribed, but you got a like for the DCEU joke.
One of the problems with any sealed chamber for Wolverine is that he is fast and sharp, as you mentioned. That means you need to be quick in killing him once in the chamber, or immobilize him. This leads to a couple modification suggestions to your ideas. For the O2 deprivation tanks, it would be faster to use an airtight chamber, and then release Halon, FM-200 or some other Oxygen binding material to quickly make the O2 unavailable.
For the DCEU this problem is (mostly) self solving. The electric field will suspend him in the center of the chamber leaving him (if your chamber is big enough) unable to reach the sides to claw his way out. You might have to alternate the directions you send the electricity, thought, or else you risk propelling him out the end like a rail gun. I'm not sure if the current methods for induction heating work better with AC or DC or a mix of both. (Though with the right orientation of his body, sending him rocketing to the plug end could help by creating concussion damage and keeping him incapacitated.) On the other hand, if your DCEU was a loop like the supercollider then don't bother, just rocket him around until he cooks. then open the end and propel out the remains at whichever of his friends has come to rescue him. Two problems, one stone.
I could imagine Victor just sitting down eating a snickers and watching this, just giggling to himself.
Lost it at the DCEU joke. Lol xD
Fear the dceu
He has healed under water already. Comic logic, residual oxygen in his system, is what did it. As far as the concussion, he heals almost immediately.
Bet way to kill him, would be heavy metal poisoning. Which is what was killing him in the old man Logan novel.
But incasing him in the antimatium casing didnt kill him from the lack of oxygen, it was the heavy metal poisoning.
If he was under there long enough, wouldn't the residual oxygen deplete as well?
@@FueledbyFaith Comic logic says he would have healed by then lol.
@@alexandergreene461 his body will push it out through his pores. The only reason the Adamatium was killing him is because it couldn't get rid of it. After he healed from having his adamatium ripped out by magneto, they even found out it was slowing his healing factor
I had thought about infecting him with a retrovirus like AIDS which kills off your immune system.
@@ginnyjollykidd Give him lot o' sweats, enough to give him diabetes
Sweet sweet thought juice. Best quote of 2019

All of these videos are very well made, and entertaining. IMO, one of the best science channels on UA-cam.
Great video, as always, Kyle.
My answer to everything is...
... *Shoot it into outer space coordinates: The Sun.*
-Queue Maniacal Laughter
This would be the most surefire means of killing Wolverine. The intense heat and pressure of the sun would rip his very molecules apart. Your DNA can't help you regenerate when you, uh, don't have DNA anymore.
axe693axe heroes that aren't wolverine comes back
U mission failed XD
@@evilCODrays but only cosmic characters like Superman and Silver Surfer, otherwise not even the Hulk would enjoy that steamy bubble bath...
axe693axe the hulk jumped into space once he lasted 6 mins and came back without any side effects from being in space even though the hulk could survive anyway due to how durable he is but ay oh who cares XD although hulk is my fav marvel character also superman isn't cosmic btw unless ur talking about a alternate superman if ur talking about the normal one he isn't cosmic so yeh XD and let's face it any character that isn't human can go into space simple as that characters just can
@@evilCODrays I was taking more of a Death Battle approach with feats and abilities...
Concussing him wouldnt do much since his brain would just heal any damage tho
No, but after you cause the concussion(and knock him out), you could move him somewhere that he could die. Such as a car with the exhaust running back into it or into the bottom of a lake or just by having a giant tank of water. Like Kyle said, if he doesn't get oxygen, he won't heal.
We see him get dropped by concussion in the original Trilogy.
As they are exiting Bobby’s house, a cop shoots him in the head dropping him.
The bullet couldn’t penetrate his Adamantium skull. So the only damage would be the concussive force on his brain knocking him unconscious. It takes him a while to recover and wake up.
He would heal from any amount of concussion, the most traumatic of which he's ever suffered probably having been in "World War Hulk vs X-Men" which had the Hulk pick him up and then just hit him in the head repeatedly over and over and over, at his essentially strongest level. He healed from that as well however, as he was on his feet in what looked like 10 minutes or so later, even if he was hardly all there yet... but it still works to prove you can use that to knock him out, then do something as simple as put a plastic bag over his head once he's out to kill him from oxygen starvation.
@@NinjaBearFilms Go rewatch the movie and count the seconds it takes Logan to get back up after being shot in head. And then watch rest of the x-men movies and count how many times he has been shot in head and how few time he went down for the count.
It’d be a while before I can go back and review all the movies. But I can think of two times he gets shot in the head and goes down. And while he heals and gets back up. He’s down long enough for my evil henchmen to attach a piston helmet to his head to keep concussing him and keep him unconscious. Allowing me to transport him to another location for more thorough disposal experimentation.
And if the concussion piston helmet breaks, his brain will probably be so scrambled he won’t remember who he is again.
The brain might heal, but the memories won’t.
This is absolutely one of the best shows on UA-cam! You are amazing and so fun to listen to Kyle. Keep up the great work!! 👍🤯🔬⚗️
Through the comics it has been shown you can “kill” him in all these ways but as soon as you remove him from that trap he regenerates. He always has some cells that go dormant and can rebuild him completely within days.

Thus lulling him into a false sense of security
Oh, but there is a much, much cooler way to destroy Wolverine. Adamantium implies that a principle component of the alloy is the adamantane (melting point 270 degrees Celsius) arrangement of Carbon atoms. Much like a diamond (the simplest form of diamond, actually), each carbon is attached to 3-4 other atoms of carbon forming tetrahedral shapes. One would assume that instead of Hydrogen, these carbon pyramids then attached to some sort of metal, possibly Chromium. Hexavalent Chromium, incidently, is a know healing factor retardent (see OSHA references, www.osha.gov/SLTC/hexavalentchromium/), which might be what was slowing Logan's healing factor in "Logan" and might be why Wolverine's claws are so... Chromely and shiney. Hexavalent Chromium is used in chemical coatings to promote metallic adhesion to organic molecules.
The great thing about this is that we also know that Carbon is a principle component of nearly every part of the human body, especially DNA. Yep, the very same thing that Logan has to make lots of in order to regenerate. Destroy the DNA, no more Logan.
Here's where we get devious. A focused beam of microwave energy (think "laser" but in the microwave spectrum, or MASER) would first heat up Logan's outer tissues. Because Microwaves are invisible to the human eye, he would have no idea from precisely where the beams were coming. Home-use microwaves only use 1 kilowatt of energy-- but imagine a 100 kilowatt microwave focused in a rather small dot on poor Wolverine. It would energize all the water and oils in his skin, causing massive ablation of tissues as steam explosions blew out his tissues.. until the Adamantium was exposed. Then the real fireworks start!
Certainly if you've ever accidentally put metal into a microwave you know where I'm going with this.
The carbon bonds within the Adamantium would then also break down, forming a plasma ball (www.sciencealert.com/how-artificial-diamonds-are-made-microwave-methane-gas-lab-ethical) that would leave only metallic structure behind. As the metallic coating on his bones ionizes, Wolverine's skeleton would then become a giant sparkler, firing off electrical discharge in all directions as the remainder of his tissues were consumed either in steam explosions or the Adamantane-induced plasma balls The adamantane would act as diamond-seed for the reaction, raining micro-diamonds, emeralds, and rubies everywhere.
Okay, that's pretty gross-- but as a supervillian, who doesn't want to make a jewel-profit on the side?
mw3809 , Awwww, jewel rain! Pretty!
Honestly, this comment it's gold. Super-Nerd plz
I think you just won the comments
Foot notes alert!
That is the most selfish and evil way to kill a super hero I've ever heard... I love it.
Oddly enough, Wolverine seems to be immune to drowning based on the movies
he drowned it just once he was taken out of the water his cell was getting oxygen again and his healing power kick in bring him back to live, his healing work even if he is die he most likely die several times before finally running out of oxygen then once there bring him back up he come back to life.
Based on the movies storm is very weak
@@giulianoaaronfrancoynsfran4858 Yeah she got the short end of the stick
You had me cracking up at work, Kyle. I needed that. Thanks!
These would only work based on who’s writing wolverine cause we’ve seen wolverine regenerate from being just a skeleton after a nuclear blast and regenerating just from blood so depending on what writer all of this could be ineffective
Exactly. To kill some heroes you would literally have to kill the real life writer handling them :p
@@johnturtle6649 You kill the character by holding the writer at gunpoint. Works every time.
@@saltefan5925 Except it doesn't, because theres always another writer to take that persons place. and usually for less money
@@johnturtle6649 ... and so the cycle continues
That’s against logic
wouldn't he regenerate from concussion?
Most likely, since he already did that in the Scene we're shown from X-men 2
Yes and no. He would probably regenerate damaged brain cells; however, they would only be physically regenerated. He could still suffer from personality changes and memory loss, like he does after being shot in the head in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
@@chrysalizubeth88 thank you, this never really made sense for me until today
@@chrysalizubeth88 I think Kyle talked about something similar on "could deadpool regrow his head" spoilers
He can but it wouldn't be the same deadpool because he would have no memories or things that make you you
@@chrysalizubeth88 i know but still he would remain alive
Great video, as always. The vacuum and electro-magnetic induction methods sound legit, but as for the acceleration (concussive force) option.... surely his healing factor applies to his brain also, and would rapidly nullify any bleeding, bruising or shearing of the brain. Am I wrong?
It would fix the damage, sure, but it wouldn't put the blood back in his brain; if nothing else, you can just keep concussing him until there's so much discharge that it causes sever enough cranial pressure to keep him unconscious, then put him in the vacuum chamber
@@tdcalverley99 I think it would (possibly) put the blood back into his brain. His healing factor regenerates cells, blood cells included, but maybe not fast enough to deal with repeated concussive blows. Fair point Sir.
Stumbled across this video in recommended, love your style! You got my sub for sure, alongside a handful of my buddies who I show your channel to!
LOL... giant vacuum box... might as well try sharks with frickin' laser beams.
That's ridiculous. Unless you have blue/green lasers which penetrate the furthest into water.
Jonny Bravo Dude he literally shows an actual giant vacuum box owned by nasa in the video... in real life.
One is _slightly_ more plausible -- kH
Mythbusters have used vacuum boxes that can hold people in.
@@freeway1823 he does indeed. He also states it has thick concrete walls, which Wolverine wouldn't be able to get through. I disagree with that assessment, since concrete doesn't provide much of an issue for Wolverine's adamantium claws. Additionally, Kyle states you'd have to construct the box in such a way as to be able to completely pump out all the oxygen extremely quickly, which in turn would only give Logan a few seconds of consciousness in which he could attempt escape. Let's assume the average human expectation of 15 seconds before loss of consciousness in space, and also a virtually instantaneous removal of all oxygen from the chamber. Kyle points out that Logan is stronger and faster than a normal human. I'm pretty sure Logan would be able to extricate himself from that chamber in that timeframe.
Anyway... hasn't anyone ever seen Austin Powers? Come on... sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads. :P
Wouldn't wolverine's brain regenerate in a few seconds from a concussion? It's bruising and bleeding, we see him heal gashes the size of a hand in like 3 seconds. Also, as long as there is a single cell, he can regenerate completely and in fact has regenerated from only his skeleton
I agree but at the same time wolverine had this done to him by the incredible hulk in the world war hulk series and it incapacitated him until hulks fight was over. Wolverines healing factor is basically only as strong as the writers want it to be tbh
In the video clip (and lots of comic panels) the hairy little fire plug does heal from being knocked out in mere seconds. The one cell regeneration thing doesn't preclude the oxygen point as all your cells use it.
We see him get dropped by concussion in the original Trilogy.
As they are exiting Bobby’s house, a cop shoots him in the head dropping him.
The bullet couldn’t penetrate his Adamantium skull. So the only damage would be the concussive force on his brain knocking him unconscious. It takes him a while to recover and wake up.
The WWHvsX-Men thing was a bit different than just shooting him in the head though, Hulk was holding him and bashing his head repeatedly over and over and over, just ONE of those punches likely far above the G-forces of a damn tank shell. It is canonical (and logical) that bigger injuries take longer to heal from. But yeah, you can't kill him this way, though you should be able to stir up his memories quite a lot (again).
@@CharlieClearwater97 not to mention that in the movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine (which is a Prequel of a sorts to the first movie in the X-Men Trilogy) Stryker at one point says "his brain might regenerate but his memories won't" in response to someone saying "wouldn't his brain just regenerate?" and later in the movie shoots Wolverine in the head and just as Stryker said Wolverine didn't keep his memories when his brain finished regenerating and didn't recognize Gambit who was the person who had brought him to the island.
I see Loki tricking us and turned into Thor
no you cant concuss him due to his healing factor which would heal the damage practically as he suffered it
He can be concussed in cannon. It takes varing degrees of force depending on writer and plot but in general you're right it's hard. It took WWhulk like six straight punches to the dome to do it.
I'm still eagerly awaiting finding out how Wolverine consumes and stores enough calories to heal as quickly as does. I need to know the science Kyle. I NEED TO KNOW.
Chris Krause he doesn’t.
You guys forgot one more thing:
You could also starve him to death. The body requires glucose, a monosaccharide sugar absorbed by the body after digestion. This is an essential as to obtain the energy required to carry certain life processes, like wound healing, not only does the body need oxygen but glucose, which reacts with oxygen to release Energy
- *Glucose* + oxygen -> *energy* + water + carbon dioxide
- *C6H12O6* + 6O2 -> *38ATP* + 6H20 + 6CO2
However, it's likely that if his body is as efficient as we're assuming, that any attempt to starve him would take so LONG that he'd inevitably be able to escape his prison before he got in real trouble. I mean, if we assume that his claws can cut through anything short of more adamantium (I'm not an expert on Marvel, so can anyone confirm that he can't slice through adamantium?), of which there's virtually none on Earth besides what's in his bones, then no matter how strong you made his prison he would *eventually* cut his way out.
They’ve tried that too and he lived. Trapped him under a mountain and he survived by cutting off chunks of himself and eating them while he dug himself out for a couple of months. Yes that makes no sense.
.... That's not how the conservation of energy works. THAT'S NOT HOW ANY OF THIS WORKS!
@@rollingthunder1043 From the comic's point of view, the law of conservation of energy doesn't apply to him... because plot convenience.
Yea or you could damage him to death. It takes energy to heal, so at a cretin point he would become hypoglycemic and pass out. Plus he's always healing because of the adamantieum poisoning so he would always be expending a large amount of energy. If he was alone without food for even a day he would shed pounds like crazy.
After this video, this dude is starts getting multiple calls from various villians around the world. For possible employment opportunity.
Out of so many I've watched, is there one on energy attacks? Like from Dragon Ball Z and other shows like it?
And I must say, I do enjoy the wittiness. Makes these a pleasure to watch. Wish I had this guy as my science teacher when I was in school
For the fun of it Kyle should do an episode on Flat Earth and explain in many easy to understand ways on how a flat earth is impossible.
He said a few times now that he's not into debunking anymore, the discourse wears him down emotionally.

@@kennymartin5976 yes it would especially online. You ever debated a super religious person? At least you can go home after lol.
Wasn't the flat earth theory created as a way of out of the box thinking for mathmatics? A trying to explain and understand impossible to solve problems or something.
I think the flat earth discussion is interesting. If anything it reveals how much trust we place in others to garner our perception of reality. NASA really could be a big Hollywood production and we’d never really know

Thanks
I've heard that his fear of water isn't because it's a permanent way to die. The little oxygen in the water would be enough for him to stay alive, but also die. So he's trapped in an endless cicle of dying and coming back to life.
But isn't Wolverine's healing factor just going to heal his concussion?
But you get some seconds, during this time you can shoot him again, then again, etc.
Until you can put him in a water container or put something between his cervical vertebra and break his cervical column while cutting the flesh of his neck.
@@thomasfplm Why couldn't his super healing absorbe the water and break the bonds of water to extract the oxygen?
Am So why not just use rogue, Jean, kitty pride, jubilie, or mega sonic teenage what the £μ©# to lure him. He is such a sucker for saving those ladies
The concussion is just to knock him out. Then you just give him a concrete bath, or whatever you want to asphyxiate him.
@@the88thdarcstar you use oxigen to produce energy, you'd need even more energy to break the bonds between oxigen and hydrogen.
thomasfplm. There is no need for breaking the bonds between oxygen and hydrogen. Some oxygen is always solved in water. That's how fish are able to breath, remember? Wolverine has been shown to survive being submerged for prolonged time (Origins movie).
You can also use the Philadelphia Experiment and just fuse him to a wall
One thing for the concussed Wolvie theory: if you can keep him concussed for long enough, the best way to kill him would be to disembowel him and cut him up at the bone joints (because they wouldn't be covered in adamantium, in order to be able to move and flex and stuff); in fact, the Xavier Protocol for killing Wolverine specifically states to separate his head from his body (likely by incapacitating him then cutting it off at a spinal joint), and burying it far away from the body.
The water one seems less likely, but to make it more effective you can boil the water not just hurting him with the heated water but also removing oxygen from the water
One big problem with your plans for putting Wolverine in a box. Unless you're going to line the box with an adamantium lining he can cut out of it in a short time using a lumberjack technique. Start cutting into an area at 90 degree angle and pieces will fall out. Water could probably still work though, put the room underground and rig the hallways leading up to the room to collapse and the room can still fill faster than he could cut a way out
Water only works in some depictions of wolverine. In days of future past, wolverine is thrown into the bay and 6 hours later revived.
It seems an electromagnet would win.
You could even induce a current in the metal and cook him.
Then, seperate him from his intrinsic field.
James Neave ok. And? That wouldn’t kill him
j p Cooked meat can’t heal like living tissue, so it would kill him by killing every single one of his cells

STRAIGHT UP SAVAGE 🤣🤣🤣
a more subtle way to deprive someone of oxygen without resorting to a sturdy containment vessel would be to pump nitrogen gas in a closed room.
quicker to take air out, or pump in a noble gas, or even carbon monoxide.
cause pumping in nitrogen a) doens't effect the O2 in the room, and b) doens't effect your breathing as much, given you're probably breathing in more nitrogen than O2 right now...
essentially, you're just increasing the air pressure. they'd still need to run out of O2.
unless i'm thinking of something else and nitrogen isn't the gas that mostly makes up air, and is instead heavier than air. googled it) nope, 3/4ths of the air you're breathing in now is probably nitrogen. i think i know what yo might've been getting at, but i don't think nitrogens quite the answer.
@@leeman27534 ummm maybe I was a bit imprecise in defining a closed room: I didn't mean air-tight, just as a regular room would be if windows and doors were shut, but they'd still let out some of the original air, which nitrogen would gradually replace. Not that I'm looking to asphyxiate someone, I was just remembering an old episode of the Lady in yellow. :D
I always thought it was weird why no one just tries to DROWN Wolverine. Seems a lot easier than other things they try in comic books.
I mean, he can theoretically swim (even with adamantine skeleton- just roll with it) and cut his way out of easier-to-make containment stuff. Though of course all you have to do is lure him down into your underground secret evil base that (oh no!) he recently learned about... then flood it. So as long as you make him have too much stuff to cut through in a couple minutes... you're probably fine.
I suppose you could also drown him in something more viscous than water, which would reduce any force behind his claw swings, making him unable to cut anything due to lack of force. Also who needs a lair or anything like it, just strap a few adamantium coated lead weights to him and throw him in the Atlantic ocean.
Days of future past magneto tried too drown him
He killed his son draken by drowning him ina faking puddle...
Hasn’t he drowned in the comics and “died” but regenerates to life once someone pulls him out of the water?
Hey Kyle! Love the video, could you make another one about the T-1000 and how to defeat it? Or maybe just explain why it doesn’t melt into goo?
This should be a series.
That induction thing us used in metal foundries a smelters for that exact reason. There's a UA-cam video that shows exactly what you described. Dude dropped a piece of iron into the coil and the iron heated up until it was hot enough to lose its magnetic quality (something like, 1200°F to 1400°F) and falls through the other side of the coil.
Except there's oxygen in water, and Wolverine has come back from just being a skeleton after being hit by a nuclear blast, which presumably should have been more than enough to vaporize his bones and marrow therein. Yet, it did not, thus in all likelihood Adamantium has incredible thermal insulation properties. In fact, that's where the image of his skeleton came from that you copied. A vacuum however may just work, assuming it's 100% perfect.
He was powered at the time by the same crystal the Juggernaut normally uses. So he was supernaturally empowered and not his usual strength.
Water has oxygen, yes. But last I checked Wolverine didn't have gills.
@@RocketDragons fun fact in the ultimate timeline his mutation is extreme survival, meaning Nick Fury separated Wolverines head from his body for days and Wolvering was still alive and breathing from his skin
@@DerpEpicFace32onXbox I wasn't aware of that, but can his skin separate O2 from water? I know fish, etc. have specialized biology that can separate the oxygen and *then* they breathe it.
@@RocketDragons his mutation is literally made for being able to survival anything, I'm hes been repeatedly drowned before by his own son for a few months I think
So quick thought: if you shoot wolverine in the eye; since there's no bone behind his eye ball would the bullet enter his eye and bounce around in his adamantium skull until it found an unlocked path? More than likely his other eye?
Are you stupid ? There are bones behind the eye balls with only a small hole.
QQEQQ exactly ikr
You killed it in this episode. In so many levels :D
Wolverine's claws could cut through your silly oxygen deprived box. ...Because comics.
his claws are not long enuf
@@davankrueger1725 Wanna bet, bub?
@@jalderink yes
@@davankrueger1725 Really, bub? It doesn't matter how long his claws are. Even if Wolvie had 1" claws, Adamantium cuts through concrete like butter and he would dig his way out, easily. Go ahead, argue some more. You got nothing!
Jeremiah damn someone has a big ego, Wolverine is still human remember, he needs to breathe just like any other person, being in that box isn’t going to be great for him, he can “dig” through it? (Despite his claws not being a great enough angle to do so) He won’t have enough time before oxygen deprivation kicks in, movement requires oxygen, if he tries to dig faster, he’ll pass out faster, trust me even an Olympic athlete wouldn’t last 20 seconds inside the box, it’s going to take him a solid minute or so to get out of it, more than enough time for oxygen deprivation to kick in, checkmate kid
Hey Kyle, big fan of the show btw.
Two things:
If you shoot wolverine in the head and he gets a concussion, he would heal from it as he do from every other wound.
Second, I see what you did there... When you were explaining about the eletromagnetism, your arms where about the height of your neck, but you were looking a bit above it, so you thought your editor would put other shape of metal to you, maybe a curved one, but instead you got a bar. Shame on you! ahahaha
Magneto wrapped metal rebar through his body and chucked him in a river. That seemed pretty effective.
The REBAR was for effect, Wolverine would have sunk anyway. Why stop at a river? Chuck him in the ocean. Why stop at just any ocean? Chuck him in the Marianas Trench and let him sink 6.8 miles under the ocean and see how he deals with 1,000+ bars of pressure, on top of darkness, and drowning, and sinking into very soft silt that cant support his weight.
@@fubarace1027 Dark, but effective
@@fubarace1027 better keep him that way cause once he his body get oxygen again he is back alive.
I loved and love electromagnetic physics back in the university love it
I could just imagine kyle hill as a student at xavier's school giving school reports about studying mutant powers and how to defeat them .
2:13 it doesn't have to be a vacuum, it can be high pressure co2 or any other unbreathable gas
How to defeat the Winter Soldier with science. Love your videos by the way!!:”)
Hi Kyle, great show! Just a thought - to deprive Wolverine of O2, instead of putting him into vacuum and pump it, we may just flood the chamber with another gas, cheapest option being pure nitrogen. This would work just fine and wouldn't require extensive vacuum pumping of a large volume. Or even more effectively, we could use more expensive argon that due to its higher density as compared to air, would sit at the bottom of the chamber and would intermix with the air to a much lower degree than nitrogen, gradually filling the chamber up completely.
Cheers!
10:03. The best joke he’s ever said
Hi Kyle, why don't we put him in a giant microwave? Apart from boiling him, it would ionize his adamantium claws, also creating electric arcs that would electricute him (maybe). By the way, love the show.
Exactly my thought.
If they can make an adamantium skeleton. We can make an adamantium microwave. Trap him inside with no way out since that shit is super strong. And turn his body into human mush~
Besides... without a functioning brain, he can't heal. #brainmush
Wolverine can get through those walls
Kyle, your explanation of Induction was wonderful and reminded me of a very interesting story. Induction was used in such a way years ago and it actually forced the province to change or amend a law.
The story goes that a dairy farmer, annoyed that the power company decided to run overhead transmission lines across a piece of his property attempted to file an injuction to have them go around. This was defeated because money talks.
It just so happended that this farmer had taken courses in electrical engineering and after studying the laws of the land built a barn where the transmission lines were running but did not tap them 'physically'! He set up an induction coil and was drawing enough power off of them to run his entire farm, free of charge. : ) (sorry about the pun) The law stated he could not be billed because he was not connected to the lines and the company lost time, money and effort getting the law amended to include non-physical means of tapping their power. Because Science!
THOUGHT JUICE MUST FLOW
D.C.E.U ...Kyle you're the hero (or well...hero killer in this case) that we deserve!
Nice video Kyle! Well I have always wondered if Wolverine is able to climb at all because if his claws are so sharp, wouldn’t they cut the wall as he tries to climb but making him stay in the ground?
He could actually. Only the leading edge is stupid sharp. So if he stabbed the walls so his knuckles go up and down he there wouldn't be an issue with just slicing through the wall. Though I doubt it would be comfortable
@@seana4106 Or just stab the wall with his hands don't facing down.
Concussion is useless if he heals over time again right?
I guess it would depend on how fast the target can heal.
Hey Kyle, Love that DCEU Reference.
So, a Co2 fire extinguisher could kill Wolverine?
Lel
If oxygen is really the best healing catalyst ...than we know why Logan was scared of flying everytime
no. imagine being in a plane crash, knowing damn good and well this is gonna hurt BAD, bt you'll live.
This would be a really awesome series of because science where you defeat heroes and villains with science.
Always a good day when Because Science uploads.. This should be a new series. A “How to defeat...” series..
In X-Men: Days of Future Past Wolverine is left at the bottom of a river and impaled and survives so the tank of water idea wouldn't work, and by extension lack of oxygen wouldn't work so that leaves out the vacuum chamber too.
The reason why he survives is because he is brought back to the surface (presumably before total cellular death). Had he been left there long enough I would think whatever the fish didn't eat would have just decayed.
@@ChrisZacho that's not how death works. Your body works to keep oxygen flowing to your brain and heart at the detriment of everything else when neccessary. In the movie, wolverine blacks out in minutes the same as any other human would. This means he ran out of oxygen hours before being rescued.
Let's assume s single cell survived in that time frame, he fully lacks circulation of oxygenated blood to even get oxygen to that single cell when rescued. He dies due to apoxia yet is revived while not being able to oxygenate the last living cell....doesnt add up.
The only explanation is that he didnt in fact die in the river.
FlyingFree333 pretty much you have to destroy all cells. Issue is even a nuclear bomb fails to do this. So sure boil off the flesh via induction. Ok move quickly because when does regenerate your dead. So now you have to get magnetto to rip away the metal then induction to finish the job. Assuming a cell is in some blob of metal. We still don’t know the level of regeneration his cells can work at.
Actually, while Magneto is stated to have “magnetic powers” the actual displayed power is equally effective on magnetic and non magnetic metals.
Including the range in which he can stretch out and control metal without influencing the metal around it.
Magneto’s power would be more accurately described as a form of Telekinesis that can only influence metal. (Mental block on Magneto blocking his true potential?)
So we cannot actually make the assumption that Wolverine’s skeleton is magnetic just because Magneto can control it.
Other comment was made before I could actually watch the video because work and meetings only allowed me to read and reply to comments.
I think on a previous Because Science Kyle goes into the specifics of magnetism and magneto's powers. It is magnetism, but all of magnetism and not just one type.
I remember he did one on Magneto, but I didn’t think he covered how he can use his “magnetism” on non magnetic metals like lead or gold nor how he can use “magnetism” on a satellite dish on the horizon without also affecting all the metal in between.
Both of which couldn’t be done with traditional electromagnetism that he’s talking about in this video.
well, that's what I'm saying. Gold *is* magnetic, lead *is* magnetic, even frogs famously can be levitated by magnetism. Just not the normal kind of magnetism you're thinking of. There's ferromagnetism, paramagnatism, diamagnetism, and more. These each respond and interact with magnetic fields differently.
about the satellite thing, If we were using real world forces for that, it would have also ripped the ground in between to shreds from the absolutely stupid strong magnetic forces at play. I attributed his ability to focus on specific magnetic materials and move magnetic materials to him being able to create a magnetic field anywhere he wants to, meaning that the origin of the magnetic field that moved the satellite could have/ would have been dramatically closer. Of course, that's a theory. A ... fan theory... thanks for reading.
Yes, but para and diamagnetism are extremely weak reactions and wouldn’t be moved in the control Magneto demonstrates.
And this really plays back to KH comments about why the bombs in SW:TLJ would be very ineffective to use “magnetic attraction” for the purpose of delivering the payload.
Take for example the gun scene in the X-men movie. Even if you assume he can create magnetic fields anywhere and not centered on any one thing.
To have the fields to levitate all the guns, separate fields to cock them. A single field to apply enough pressure to fire a single gun. Another field strong enough to stop a diamagnetic bullet traveling at bullet speeds and stop it in a few feet. The magnetic field for that feat alone would have to be so large that it would attract all the other metal in the area towards that one cop.
Pretty much impossible with any kind of magnetic manipulation.
And even if you give Magneto that level of making huge magnetic fields and able to negate/stop them beyond the isolated area of effect. So just because Magneto can pull it out, doesn’t make it “extremely susceptible to magnetic fields”. Because by the logic if Magneto can pull it out it must be extremely susceptible to magnetic fields, then all metal would be highly susceptible to magnetic fields. And we know that’s just not true.
I believe in the comic they established it was not normally susceptible to EM. That panel was also a demonstration of how powerful Magneto had become at that point after he melded with the EM of Earth. I believe at that point, they were showing off Magneto's power and he was not affecting the metal as much as the EM fields of the individuals atoms.
So, lure Wolverine into a large super powerful induction coil built into the walls of a room. Within seconds flat, his metal would be white hot, incinerating his bodily tissues. funny, I wrote this before the 9 minute mark of the video. LOL!
Wouldn't molten iron or liquid nitrogen do the trick as well?
Loved the diabolical sciences implemented!
But why not just use a giant catapult to send him into space?
Sure it still wouldn't nessissarilly kill him immediately, but he ain't coming back without help either.
The catapult needed to hurl someone into space would have to be, like Mt. Everest huge. Would make for an interesting show!
the acceleration from such a catapult would turn him into a bloody pulp anyway
How do you defeat Wolverine? You can't unless something happens to the writer. To wit: ua-cam.com/video/j0LKpAro8Bk/v-deo.html
10:00 You my friend deserve an award for that joke 😂
Here's a tough question how do you defeat science?
HugeDingDong Just like in interstellar with “the power of love” lol.
With idioticaly strong believe to religion and denying facts. Half of the world is full of example countries and cultures.
Stupidity and misinformation.
Magic.
With science
Instead of a large vacuum chamber, wouldnt it be easier to pump in pure nitrogen.
If you fill a room with pure Nitrogen, lure Wolverine into it, he would be incapacitated in seconds, and dead in minutes, without ever know anything was wrong.
I'm no expert on nitrogen, but unless it removes oxygen from every cell, he could still regenerate unless kept there indefinitely.
Hi Kyle! Awesome video!. May I ask, does the induction heating kill anybody no matter if he has or not adamantium skeleton? I mean, in the higher values used to kill Wolverine.
A series of how to defeat X hero would be awesome.
Nice work
The other way to kill Wolverine is with women. He can't heal a broken heart
Good one 😎
Redheads seem to be lethal to him
True
He came back from killing his own kids multiple times. So maybe?
You told us who can defeat Wolverine last week.
Link!
Wolverine charges, he parries with the Hylian Shield, which given it’s durability in both Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild I would argue that it can withstand Wolverine claws, (plus successful parry doesn’t damage shields).
After the successful parry his power to slow time triggers and he rushes in with a flurry of blows.
And from the end of the last video, his strength applied on the edge of the master sword could cut through anything.
Link wins, Wolverine is sliced to pieces trying to regenerate back together.
That all sounds good but Wolverine is trained in many different martial arts he would find his way around the shield. He could use Judo and just throw link around
Like Deadpool, slicing Wolverine to pieces doesn't actually do that much, both of them have survived quite a while even decapitated (in Deadpool's case, as far as I know this hasn't happened to Wolverine but their powers are fairly similar in this regard) or torn in two and left that way for a long time (Ultimate Wolverine).
Beyond that however, there's the slicing itself, the adamantium bones being as close to indestructible as you get in comics unless you have specific metal-manipulation powers. Even other super-tough or even magically strong or sharp swords or similar have failed to slice through his bones, same goes with impact-pressure from tremendously strong characters like Thor with Mjolnir, which outdoes in terms of power both Link and the Master Sword quite easily.
And while you could argue you could go for the joints, Wolverine has had his entire body except the bones atomized by attacks in the past, and the skeleton stayed intact and connected to each other, rather than a pile of shiny bones, so presumably there's some manner of adamantium joints involved as well.
Well sure, but once he’s been chopped up, just pick up the pieces and deprive him of Oxygen in water or vacuum.
What if his mutation has become more powerful and he can regenerate from blood. We are talking about different version's of wolverine
So a fight that would last forever because he would just regenerate over and over and over again.
Sweet sweet thought juice lmao loved this!
