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.

Re: Why did it stick?

[theanswer]

Because he's a villain, an ARCH villain. Why raise a fuss over a character you know will be back?

Re: Why did it stick?

[nefrekeptah]

Because his death was terrible and the story was awful?

Because he's been dead for about three years now and there's still nothing mentioned whatsoever about bringing him back, or when he'll come back?
