Marvel's Wolverine is one of the toughest opponents to face out of the entire X-Men roster thanks to his powerful healing factor, but the films left out the darkest aspect of his ability. Logan is a fan-favorite thanks to many elements of his character, including his gruff personality, his mysterious past and his antihero persona despite standing firmly on the side of good when evil threatens the Marvel Universe. But even his long-time fans may not know that Wolverine must fight the Angel of Death himself whenever he cheats the grim reaper — which is quite often.
Wolverine was first introduced not as a hero, but as an antagonist for the Hulk to fight in The Incredible Hulk #181 in 1974.

Wolverine's healing factor would steadily increase in potency to the point where he could survive absolutely anything — with a small caveat. If Logan ever suffered an injury that would have killed him were it not for his mutant powers, he must fight Azrael, the Angel of Death.
