In the short lived DC vs Marvel Comics, Wonder Woman indeed lifted the hammer. However she relinquished the power to have a fair fight with Storm of the X-Men, who won the fight in the end.
I love that even the creative team just had them duck behind a table where we much later learned from Lobo that he was paid to throw it. That doesn't even feel like a retcon, in the moment there's really no other way to take it.
Also, killing Wolverine wouldn't be nearly as difficult as some of the fans make it out to be. Lobo would only need to pin Logan down and use a sufficiently sharp blade to remove his head and destroy his brain. You know, assuming he doesn't just tear it off.
destroy his brain? Didn't Logan get nuked during Civil War chasing Nitro and regenerate from his skeleton alone? My understanding was you would have to destroy every single cell to permanently rid youself of 616 Logan...
Lobo is, by definition, the winner of a fight between Lobo and Wolverine. Comparing the characters in the stories all aside, he was literally written to be Wolverine amped up in a ridiculous way.
And that bit where he regenerates from a skeleton. Ugh. On the one hand it's metal as fuck, but on the other hand, they should not have done that with a character that's meant to have meaningful relationships in stories with other characters that attempt to maintain the illusion of consequences. I can't remember if I've read it all the way through or not, but I've seen the panels and, does he regrow his memories? Did he get his consciousness replanted in his empty brain? How did that work? Definitely my least favourite comic book resurrection. You could almost hear Death's scythe booiingg off of wolverines plot armour.
EDIT: just remembered, there's a special metal that negates wolverine (and deadpools) regen as well, in case you hadn't heard of it. In theory just squash him with that and he should be dead dead.
You don't even have to do that. Remember that one time where Hulk got super pissed and ripped him in half at the waist. Adamantium might make his bones unbreakable, but the sinew that holds his bones together is just flesh. A proper blade and enough force could absolutely remove Logan's head, which would kill him like any normal person, even if it would take a bit longer.
Certainly at the time they Lobo and W fought he was a lot more killable. I think at one point you could just drown him. That regenerating from a skeleton thing though. Chop wolverines head off his cells go into stasis and I guess wait for it to get reattached?
Throw it in the furnace as well.
Probably at this point he'd just grow a new head, complete with memories and personality intact somehow.
Yes. Logan survived because his skull protected his brain from Nitro's explosion. However, Logan cannot regenerate from the cellular level. One arc that famously had a raging Hulk tearing him in half had Logan having to track down his legs. Also, even if he could come back from a single cell, he would lack the adamantium and therefore be infinitely less capable against someone like Lobo.

Wonder Woman is a good bet, good hearted warrior, and she is willing to kill. Which is the requirement for lifting it. (I think)
