Death of Wolverine #2

[flint_marko]

Wolverine wants to know who the client is, and Viper tells him he'll have to earn it.




They battle, and Sabretooth apparently scratches out one of Wolverine's eyes. He's about to kill him when Lady Deathstrike arrives and stabs him in the back. Wolverine stops her before she can finish him off, saying he's poisoned and chained, and when he dies it's not going to happen this way. She lets him leave.

"Wolverine stops her before she can finish him off, saying he's poisoned and chained, and when he dies it's not going to happen this way. She lets him leave."

Which makes the second time in the last two months Logan had a chance to nail Creed and passed.

Fuck. This. Story.

I tell you... some villains really are like mad dogs, and it would be doing the world a favor to put them down once and for all. ESPECIALLY if you're an ex-soldier, ex-government agent, ex-ninja, etc, with a history of killing opponents.

Sabretooth is an example of someone who doesn't learn, doesn't change, doesn't "get better" and doesn't stop murdering innocent people. Logan can try to live up to lofty ideals, but at what point is it just plain ridiculous for him to keep letting Sabretooth live? He's not Captain America, who believes everyone has a seed of redemption buried within him. He's not Spider-Man, who doesn't believe in killing and who has sworn a no killing around him oath.

Hell, he's killed Sabretooth before. Finish the damn job, Logan. Before Sabretooth kills and possibly eats another person you care about. Leave the damn morality plays to other people.

Creed's come back from everything including having his soul destroyed, so maybe Logan's just starting to figure out the genre conventions. What I still find more incredible is that Viper didn't off the guy when she had the chance.

Has Viper got personal beef with Sabretooth?

[cainofdreaming]

Kinda, yes. She married Logan after all. And what's happened to everyone he's married since Silver Fox? Add to that the fact that Creed's attack gave a joint Hydra/Hand team a chance to kidnap her and try to brainwash her into Madame Hydra again and there's really no love lost between them.
