Lightning Strike

Regarded as a true soap opera, X-Men: Forever featured quite a few plot twists, including one that revealed that Sabretooth was Logan’s father. But this came later in the story, after the Canadian proved again that he doesn’t do so well with electricity.

After clashing with Magneto, Wolvie was already down on his luck. His luck ran out completely when Storm hit him with a massive lightning strike. Sure, it was later revealed that it was actually Perfect Storm who killed him, but the point is that Logan died just from that.

This is a bit weird, considering how resilient Wolverine is. After all, Magneto burned him to a crisp in Ultimatum, and he still didn’t die.

Sure, this was just the beginning of Forever, and his death was used for other reveals, such as his relationship with Jean Grey, one of his claws fused in Kitty Pryde’s arm, and so on. But still…Just a lightning strike?
