As the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues its unprecedented success, marked by record-breaking achievements and continual expansion, a consistent element has persisted—fan speculation. Enthusiasts unabashedly unleash their creativity when delving into the realm of the MCU.
While some fan theories have been proven true, others remain on the precipice of verification within the expansive franchise. Yet, amidst these conjectures, there exists a category of theories that, in retrospect, seem a bit too far-fetched. One such theory revolves around the imagined connection between Thanos and Wolverine.

Some Fans Think Wolverine Is Responsible for the Three Scars on Thanos’ Cheek
Fans had been buzzing about a possible connection between the three scars on Thanos’ cheek and the iconic Wolverine, played by Hugh Jackman. The resemblance to Wolverine’s claws has sparked theories and wishful thinking, with some even speculating it’s a deliberate hint by the filmmakers.
Given the scar, which resembles a similar pattern to Wolverine’s claws, some fans took to social media to share this hopeful theory, like Twitter user Andrew Ivimey.

Certainly, the notion of Wolverine lurking in the shadows of the MCU held a certain allure, even though the evidence supporting this outlandish theory was flimsy at best. The speculation relied heavily on circumstantial details, leaving much to be desired in terms of concrete proof.
Who is Superior Between the Two Incredible Powers?
The Marvel Universe is brimming with powerful characters, but few can claim the strength and influence of Wolverine and Thanos. While Wolverine is renowned for his adamantium claws and relentless fighting prowess, Thanos, wielding the Infinity Gauntlet, has proven to be an unparalleled force.
Thanos, with his near-godlike strength and mastery of cosmic forces, presents a challenge far beyond Wolverine’s capabilities. In their most notable encounter, Thanos, wielding the Infinity Gauntlet, effortlessly defeated the mutant hero. Even without the Gauntlet, Thanos’s superior power and durability make him a virtually unbeatable foe for Wolverine.
While Wolverine is undoubtedly a formidable fighter with enhanced strength and agility, Thanos possesses a power set that transcends anything Wolverine can muster. Moreover, Thanos’ own healing factor, while not as potent as Wolverine’s, significantly mitigates any damage Wolverine might inflict.
Therefore, despite Wolverine’s ferocity and determination, the outcome of a full-fledged fight against Thanos remains clear. Thanos’ superior power and versatility would likely lead to Wolverine’s defeat, even without the Infinity Gauntlet’s interference.
