Wolverine vs Battle Beast: Why Logan Loses This Fight

Wolverine versus Battle Beast: who wins? My answer is Battle Beast. Logan has the tools to make this a real fight, but Battle Beast's strength, fighting skill and weapons mean he can put Wolverine down, or at least knock him out, more easily than Wolverine can put him down.

Battle Beast has beaten Viltrumites, Invincible and the Guardians of the Globe

Battle Beast is a monster. He has mastered every known fighting style and hand-to-hand weapon in the Milky Way galaxy. He took down multiple Viltrumites simultaneously, and those are beings that would make even Marvel's heaviest hitters a bit nervous.

He beat Invincible and the Guardians of the Globe without breaking a sweat. He also went blow for blow with Thragg, the strongest Viltrumite alive, and battled him for days on end. His strength and durability are at a tier that puts him well above what Wolverine typically goes against.

Wolverine's claws make him a genuine problem for Battle Beast

However, Wolverine has centuries of combat experience. He has adamantium claws that can cut through Battle Beast's skin and weapons, and a healing factor that makes him nearly impossible to permanently put down.

He has fought the Hulk before, multiple times. For as powerful as Battle Beast is, the Hulk is stronger and more powerful. Logan is constantly surviving and healing from things that are stronger than him. His claws are a genuine problem for Battle Beast too, because they are able to stab through basically anything.

Fighting above his weight class does not mean Wolverine always wins

Here is the issue. While Wolverine typically does fight above his weight class, that does not mean he always wins those fights, and there are ways to beat him. He has been straight up ripped in half before by people stronger than him, and Battle Beast can do all of this.

Battle Beast's strength, his fighting skill and his weapons mean he can put Wolverine down, or at least knock him out, more easily than Wolverine can put him down. Logan is extraordinarily hard to kill, and I will give him that. But Battle Beast is "just extraordinarily good at killing things." Battle Beast wins.

Does Wolverine's healing factor and his claws give him a real path to beating Battle Beast, or is this one settled?
