A long-lived mutant with the rage of a beast and the soul of a Samurai, James "Logan" Howlett's once mysterious past is filled with blood, war, and betrayal. Possessing an accelerated healing factor, keenly enhanced senses, and bone claws in each hand (along with his skeleton) that are coated in adamantium; Wolverine is, without question, the ultimate weapon.
Also, wasn't there an issue where Wolverine was laughing off Spider-Man's punches and it was implied Parker would have to kill Old James in order to put him down? Thanks.
That does not matter. People who get their neck snapped and die, don't die because their neck bones are shattered. And yes, Wolverine should die if someone 'snaps' his neck, because even his head should be turnable to an unhealthy degree and his nerves would be badly damaged = he would be near death, but probably instantly regenerate again. At least that's how I see it.
You wouldn't have to. The vertebrae in the spine are not fused, they are separated by cartilage disks, which are the things that usually fail when someone's neck is snapped. As far as I know, Wolverine's cartilage isn't reinforced like his bones are. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't matter, though, as his healing factor would fix the disks and his spinal cord after a break.
Mary Jane asked Pete if he could beat the Hulk, to which he replied that he could, but in order to do so, he'd have to kill him. The method was never specified. It was during the JMS/JRJR run on Amazing Spider-Man.
Wolverine is the person who stated Parker would need to snap his neck to put him down. It's from Spider-Man vs Wolverine #1. It's the same issue in which Ned Leeds was murdered.
Spidey knocking out the Hulk by throwing a truck on his head and trash-talking him afterwards is one of the funniest things I've seen in comics, anyway.
Wolverine bones are Adamantium but not the tendons, muscles and joints that connect each bone.
With the hip bone connected to the back bone, and the back bone connected to the neck bone, and the neck bone connected to the head bone, Oh mercy how they scare!
Oh those bones, oh those bones, oh those skeleton bones. Oh those bones, oh those bones, oh those skeleton bones. Oh those bones, oh those bones, oh those skeleton bones. Oh mercy how they scare!

BTW, the question I am asking isn't whether or not neck-snapping would work on Wolverine. It's whether anyone has ever tried.

Yes, people tried, but he would still heal from it. However, no one has tried to rip his head off, probably because he can guard his head well. But if Wolverine was asleep or in a coma and someone with a hack saw is able to hack each limb off by the joints.
@Morpheus_: DUDE, that is awesome. On live TV no less. Thank you so much. It's a shame I couldn't read the tiny text of whatever Spidey says after the fight.
@tron_bonne: I believe his entire skeletal structure is bonded and fused on a molecular level with Adamantium in such that it doesn't inhibit its natural abilities.

Hi Skeletal structure, yes but not the tendons, fat and muscle that connect each joint to each bone. Logan got his forearm permanently cut off before because of what I've mentioned.
Wolverine's ligiments and such are as indestructable as his bones. I want to say it Beta Adamantium or something. That his healing factor altered it when it was introduced to his system so he can move and be unbreakable and all that lameness. Otherwise Ba'al and others who have tried to tear him limb from limb would have pulled an Ultimate Hulk. Tronne, Logan seems to me like he was humoring Pete. At the end of that faceoff, Logan would have dusted himself off and Pete would be drinking a beer with Uncle Ben and Saint Peter.

I think you're thinking of Ultimate Wolverine. I recall reading in one of the Marvel Bullpen Bulletins at the back of a comic someone asked why Wolverine's bones don't pop out his body after he falls off a building or something. The editor answered that each of his bones were connected by microscopic Adamantium chains.
@HughJass: I think Stan Lee went on record in one of those to say Mjolnir isn't magnetic. It clearly is.
I thought Magneto moved it by creating a thin electromagnetic forcefield around it (or something similar), which doesn't necessarily make it magnetic. If that's the instance you're referring to.
Well if he does have those adamantium mircoscopic chains linking his bones then he can't we can assume his skeletal structure is virtual unbreakable (particularly if his ligaments are also adamantium beta) which seems to be indicated by the times he's had his flesh stripped from one of his arms etc and his bones have remained in place. So dislocating any bone truly would appear to be impossible though it might still be possible to move/twist his neck vertebrae enough to snap the spinal cord. Whether that would kill him or just take him done for a bit I'm unsure, it probably might not kill him outright though and I assume he would heal.
In the Wolverine vs X-Men arc recently in the Wolverine book Cyke had a plan to kill Logan (assume he got out of control) that involved Maggie stripping him of his adamantium, and then having Namor rip his head off.

616 Logan with adamantium has not been dismembered ever.

Didn't Sentry dent the claws against Wolverines 'bones' and easily knocked him out thanks to that move? Besides that sorry for bumping, but here is an interesting scan!
@Chibio: Sentry was squeezing the blades together which pushes them together inside his hand which is damaging the tendons in his hands, but he didn't tear the claws out or bend them at least that's from what I remember.
And I've seen that scan dozens of times, it doesn't prove anything and if you really think Wolverine can't heal from a snapped neck. I don't know what to tell you.

I already said before that I believe that Wolverine could heal back from a broken neck, since the deadly thing about it are the destroyed nerves and he could regenerate them very quickly. It still does not change the fact that Wolverine himself says that the only way to kill him would be to break his neck. Of course there are other ways like cutting his head off =D But yeah, I don't know either. Wolverine is not immortal, don't forget that. Deadpool wouldn't have any problems with his neck being badly broken, but if Wolverine actually dies of for good, he should also stay dead.
@texasdeathmatch: Spiderman is capable of beating them but he's not going to because it's not his nature to just attack someone to prove something. I don't know if this counts but he's stalemated Logan in Spiderman vs. Wolverine and he slammed his face into concrete while he was SpOck..
