Killing Himself Off-Panel

Who knows Wolverine’s weaknesses better than Wolverine himself? So the mutant must be pretty effective when it comes to offing himself, even if it happens off-panel. In 2013, Age of Ultron featured this manner of death – in addition to time travel, which just made everything even more confusing.

After Ultron finally succeeds in his quest, Wolverine teams up with Invisible Woman to travel back in time and kill Ultron’s creator, Hank Pym. Upon doing so, Wolverine sees that the future is even worse without Ultron. So he travels back in time again, this time to stop himself from killing Hank Pym.

Which is great, since Pym comes up with the idea of inserting a virus into Ultron’s program, just in case the AI goes rogue. So what happens next? Well, after stopping his past self from killing Pym and avoiding a terrible future, the main Wolvie (who travels back in time to stop himself) decides that he needs to die.

And this happens off panel.
