Wolverine #55: The Death of Sabretooth - For Death Week

[theanswer]

Wolverine and Sabretooth's healing factors have become so ridiculously over powered that writers have created a deus machina in the form of a sword called the Muramasa, which is composed of special materials that kill mutant healing factors, just in case they need to kill one of them.

Wolverine confronts Victor with the sword and cuts his arm off with it. Victor picks it up and tries to press it back on so his healing factor can reattach it, but he's horrified when it falls off. Logan explains what has happened and Victor just responds with, "Do it."



And he does.

And he's been dead since.

The bit about all of the hurt women amuses me because this is written by Jeph "Red Hulk has beaten every woman ever" Loeb.

Switched personalities? They're basically the same character only Logan's a little bit country and Victor's a little bit rock and roll.

In that Wolverine's like "Yay, torture and kill a dude! Uh, I almost feel sorry for him because I have a conscience rly, but WOO MAIMIE KILL! Leave body out for the dogs!"

...Whereas Wolverine SHOULD be like "Hey, a chance to kill him," *DOES SO* "Thank fuck that's over with. And now I burn the body and bury the ashes. Because fuck if I'm letting him come back again..."

And Sabretooth is begging for mercy and shit, whereas he should be pulling more of a "You don't have the balls to kill me," etc. bit.

but i am asking for characterization, i have forgotten who i am dealing with here
