Death Battle! Chapter 47: Wolverine VS Dante
Harry: The badass... a title only held by a chosen few.
DAM: Like with Wolverine, the vicious anti-hero of Marvel's X-Men.
The Doctor: And Dante, the legendary dark knight of Capcom's Devil May Cry.
Harry: He's The Doctor, that over there is DAM and I'm Harry.
DAM: And its our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills to find out who would win a, Death Battle!
Harry: Born in Alberta a young boy named James Howlett came into the world sometime around 1886.
DAM: He was tiny, pathetic and sick all the time. However he wasn't sick for too long. Because as he grew up he realized he had mutant powers.
The Doctor: Eventually he discovered he had retractable bone claws hidden within his forearms. Using them to avenge his father's death. However, he wasn't really his father and actually ended up killing his real father.
Harry: Try wrapping your head around that one.
DAM: James ran away from home with his childhood friend Rose, that is until he accidentally killed her too. Man that sucks I know how that feels whenever you kill your best friend. He later took on the name Logan to hide his identity.
The Doctor: Wait... what do you mean that you know how it feels to kill someone you care about?
Harry: It wasn't his fault of mine. He just wouldn't shut up about the Adolf Hitler and Jew jokes. Anyhow he eventually joined the Weapon X program.
DAM: While he under the Weapon X program, Wolverine was experimented on constantly. And even had his bones laced with Adamantium. A rare artificial metal that is very dense and is considered virtually indestructible. Not even Thor nor a nuclear blast could break it.
The Doctor: His body was later updated to Adamantium Beta. Which is still Adamantium but simply better. Somehow, I don't know.
Harry: Wolverine's mutant powers make him one of the most dangerous men in his the World. He's got superhumanly acute senses, superhuman strength+speed, insulated weather adaptation, and animal empathy. Allowing sense animal emotions and communicate with them.
DAM: Old Wolverine is also immune to Adamantium Poisoning, that is until he became infected by it. But please ignore that for now. His most prominent power is his healing factor. With it he has decelerated aging is immune to most poisons and toxins. Heck he's even healed after being nearly disintegrated by a nuclear explosion.
The Doctor: With his decelerated again Wolverine has lived over one-hundred-twenty years. Using this time to become a master tactician, martial artist. He's also an expert marksman, swordsman, acrobat, mechanic, and driver.
DAM: Unlike you Harry. Wolverine is also advanced in covert operations and is a multilingualist.
Harry: Wait how do you even know that about me.
DAM: Not important. What is important is Wolverine's years of unparalleled combat experience. He's a super soldier to be honest. Fighting in both World Wars, Vietnam and even the Cold War.
The Doctor: Wolverine has survived blows from Thor and the Hulkbuster. Regenerated after being nearly disintegrated in a nuclear blast. Survived battles with the Hulk. And tanked blows from Mjolnir a 1,000,000,000 ton hammer.
Harry: He's strong enough to hold up a falling two ton elevator, skilled enough to match Captain America is combat, and reacted fast enough to strike Speed Demon. Who is fast enough to reach the speed of sound.
DAM: Despite all his skills he's got plenty of weaknesses. For one his superhuman senses make him vulnerable to extreme noises and unnatural sound-waves. He can be killed through decapitation, severe spinal damage or by drowning.
The Doctor: He also has specific Adamantium-related weaknesses for example Adamantium Allotropes. His healing factor is extremely inconsistent. And he has even died his fair share of times.
Harry: Weaknesses aside Wolverine is virtually unstoppable. The only person who can prove too much for him. Might in fact be Dante.
Wolverine runs into a room confronted by Jean and Cyclops.
"Hey! It's Me." Wolverine stated.
Cyclops prepares to blast him away, "Prove it!"
"You're a dick."
Cyclops lowers his hand and unwillingly responds, "Okay"

Harry: Conceived by a human mother named Eva and an all-powerful demon Sparda. Dante was destined to live a life unlike most.
DAM: When he was 8 years old, he and his family were attack by demons. His mother was killed and he was separated from his twin brother Vergil. After this Dante met Enzo, and later became a demon hunter.
The Doctor: Enzo? Dead mother? Separated twin brother? Anybody else thinking of The Godfather?
Harry: No! How did you come up with that relation? You know what no no no no, more interruptions. I'm sick of you two, we've been working all day. Let's just get to his powers and abilities.
DAM: Okay, as a demon Dante possesses powers like any other demon which include immortality, teleportation, telekinesis, a regenerative healing factor, superhuman strength, speed, stamina, agility, reflexes and durability.
The Doctor: Despite being a demon Dante really loves guns and swords. He wields a large arsenal of murder machines all at once designed for combating demons and other powerful beings. This includes his Rebellion sword, Sparda, Alastor, Cerberus nunchakus, Agni+Rudra scimitars, and three different kinds of gauntlets.
Harry: These gauntlets include Ifirt, Beowulf and Gilgamesh. Dante also has an electric guitar called Nevan which can also be used as a scythe.
DAM: His firearms include his iconic Ebony & Ivory pistols, a Double-Barrel Shotgun, dual Submachine Guns, blue rose, grenadegun, needlegun, missile launcher, artemis and Pandora's box.
The Doctor: This "box" is more like a suitcase, a suitcase that can transform into any kind of firearm most notably a gatling gun, rocket launcher, and laser cannon.
Harry: Dante can clone himself with his Doppelganger style, dodges an enemies attacks with Trickster style, boost his speed and reflexes with Quicksilver style, and teleport using his Dark Slayer Style.
DAM: His deadliest weapons are his Devil Trigger and Majin Form. While in his Devil Trigger form his powers are doubled. And while in his Majin form he attains flight and earns an unimaginable power increase.
The Doctor: Dante has survived being impaled, shot pointblank in the head, and endured beatings from massive opponents, he's defeated Sid, Mundus, Vergil, and more demonic beings than I can count. And is one of the most powerful characters in the DMC Universe
Harry: Dante is strong enough to lift over one-hundred tons while in his normal human form, his powers increase by a thousand-fold in Majin form giving him far beyond hypersonic speeds, and he can fire bullets so fast they stack on top of each other!
DAM: Dante is considered by many to be more powerful than his own father, and can slow down time and make it appear that he moves than the eye can track.
The Doctor: Don't let his godly status confuse you. Like anyone Dante has a weakness. Opponents on his own power level give him a hard time, he's cocky, careless, and temperamental. And powerful blows can shake him out of his devil trigger.
Harry: He also constantly miscalculates and underestimates his foes leading to many defeats, and cares for human life enough to sacrifice his own.
DAM: Even with his weaknesses he's still a badass and is one of my inspirations in life. But, will his powers and arsenal be enough to stop Wolverine? I know the answer but I'm not saying anything.
"You are not human, are you?" Cerberus asked.
Dante coldly replies, "Who knows. I'm not even sure myself."
"Regardless, you have proven your strength. I acknowledge your ability. Take my soul and go forth. You have my blessing."
Cerberus shatters and his soul travels into Dante's hand, turning into an ice nunchaku, Dante practicing some swings before uttering, "Too easy!"

Harry: All right the combatants are set, time to settle this debate once and for all.
The Doctor: Wolverine, the indestructible X-Men. Or Dante, the Son of Sparda. Who'll be left standing?
DAM: Only one way to find out. It's time for a DEATH BATTLE!
A small group of thugs blindly shoot their machine guns, each being cut down one-by-one until only one remains. As he surveys the area, a short man in a yellow-blue-black spandex suit runs him through his chest with six metallic claws. Wolverine smells the air and turns towards the source of foot steeps. A white-haired middle aged man approaching him a sword sling over his shoulder.
"Who the hell are you!?" Wolverine questioned.
"I'm the guy who's gonna end your reign of terror here." Dante replied.
"Are you now? Let's get this over with bub!" Wolverine boasted.
"Fool! Do you really think you're a match for my powers!?" Dante said as he produced his sword. Wolverine approaching him with his claws at the ready.
"Don't get your panties in a wad playboy!" Wolverine quipped.
As he said that Dante rushed him and slashing him across the chest before kicking him onto his back. Wolverine stood up his wounds healing instantaneously. "Lousy choice bub. Now you've got me angry!"
FIGHT!
Wolverine charges Dante his claws at the ready, Dante sheathed his sword and unholstered his Ebony+Ivory pistols. Wolverine slowed his charge as the bullets passed through his body, the bullet holes healing immediately. As Wolverine neared him, Dante put away his pistols and replaced them with his rebellion sword. The two clashed blades, sparks flying into the air with each swing. Dante spun his sword around his head, Wolverine's smaller build proving more than he expected, Wolverine sidestepping this attack and stabbing Dante in the stomach. Dante hunched over in pain as Wolverine slammed his other clawed-fist into his chest. Dante screaming in agony, Wolverine lifted him off his feet and slammed the Demon Hunter on the pavement. Before he could stand up Wolverine unleashed a quick combo on his opponent. Dante's wounds healed over time as Wolverine slowly approached him, Wolverine looked around in absolute confusion as Dante disappeared in a flash. Wolverine sniffed the air searching for his foe. While Dante teleported behind him slashing Wolverine across his back. As he fumbled forwards he teleported again stabbing him in the chest. Wolverine was left unfazed as the blade stuck out the other side of his body. Dante jumped back dodging Wolverine's left hook. Unfortunately he wasn't able to react fast enough as Wolverine slashed him across the stomach. Dante grit his teeth in pain lifting Wolverine off his feet and throwing him off his sword, Wolverine crashing into a metal trash can, the box getting smashed by Wolverine's sheer wait.
"I'll end it here!" Dante shouted taking out a missile launcher firing a single rocket that flew towards Wolverine exploding on contact.
Dante lowered his missile launcher surprised to see Wolverine sprint towards him from the smoke and flames. Wolverine threw Dante backwards and brandished his claws. Dante jumped to his feet drawing his sword, the two clashing in another spectacle. The two locking blades entering a battle of strength. Wolverine growled as he pushed back against his taller opponent. Dante tried head butting Wolverine, only to be left stunned. Wolverine seized his opportunity, kicking Dante in the stomach stabbing Dante in the stomach with his claws. Ripping them out while backflipping and kicking Dante under his jawline. Dante crashed on his back, Wolverine jumping on him and stabbing him multiple times. As the dust cleared Wolverine slowly walked away from Dante laughing to himself. He didn't make it far as Dante fired his pistol, the bullet slicing through Wolverine's ear. Wolverine whipped his head around as Dante fired another barrage of bullets. Wolverine's wounds healing instantaneously, Wolverine whipped his head around as Dante fired another barrage of bullets. Wolverine's wounds healing instantaneously, Dante rushed his opponent slicing him with his Agni & Rudra swords. Wolverine was left defenseless as Dante began an continuous assault of swords swings and kicks. Dante stabbed Wolverine in the chest with his blades sending him flying backwards with wind and fire blasts. Wolverine struggled to stand and slowly regained his senses. Dante approached him teleporting behind Wolverine, he reacted by throwing a single backhanded punch. Dante blocked this attack and countered throwing Wolverine into the air. As Wolverine flew into the sky Dante fired his pistols, Dante let his opponent fall to the ground. Before he landed, Dante took out his shotgun and fired hitting Wolverine in the face. Wolverine was sent flying across the ally crashing through a brick wall.
Wolverine rose to his feet and looked at Dante revealing his claws while shouting, "Okay! Bud, now you've really pissed me off!"
Wolverine entered his berserker rage and rushed Dante swinging his claws cutting Dante's shotgun in half while also cutting into his stomach. Dante fumbled backwards, Wolverine continued his assault slicing Dante with every passing second blood poured out of body. Wolverine ended his combo with a two-handed stab to Dante's shoulders.
"Sweet dreams pretty boy!" Wolverine shouted.
Dante growled in anger, his eyes glowing red as he accessed his Devil Trigger form. Wolverine walked away from Dante ready for another fight. Unfortunately Dante had slowed down time, as Wolverine charged him. Dante ran behind Wolverine slashing him multiple times across the back. Time began to run at its normal speed, Wolverine screaming in pain as his wounds healed somewhat instantaneously. He turned around only to be met by a bare fisted punch from Dante wearing gauntlets. Wolverine counterattacked slashing Dante across the chest multiple times. Dante slowed down time once more running behind Wolverine slashing him across the chest with his sword, before kicking his feet from beneath him. Wolverine got back to his feet and blinding swung his shoulder backwards nailing Dante right between the eyes. Dante shook this attack off and ran around Wolverine numerous times swing his sword with every passing heart beat. Wolverine endured this attacks before slicing Dante across the face Dante preforming a mid air backflip. Dante teleported away appearing a few yards away from Wolverine his Pandora box by his side. Wolverine charged his opponent, his feet cracking the pavement beneath him with every step. Dante swung his suitcase knocking Wolverine into the air. Pandora transformed into a gatling gun and Dante opened fire the continuous barrage of bullets sent Wolverine crashing through the garage door of a building, Dante's weapon morphed into a laser cannon and he fired it. The building Wolverine crashed into exploding and collapsing on top of him.
Believing victory was in hand Dante exited his devil trigger form and began to walk away. Wolverine jumping from the rubble and picking up a large intact brick wall throwing it towards Dante. Who had no time to react as the wall took him off guard and crushed him between the ground. Wolverine walked towards his downed foe, as Dante lifted the wall off of him and unsheathing his rebellion sword. The two men charged each other once more, clashing blades, each landing consecutive blows on the other, only to have their wounds healed. Wolverine spun around in a double lariat. Dante blocking his claws, before his sword was kicked out of his hands. Wolverine cracking an evil smile while going to deal the final blow, Dante slowed down time, and sidestepped Wolverine kicking him across the face while continuously slashing him with his reclaimed sword. Time began to flow again as Wolverine and Dante entered another sword 'n' claw fight. Wolverine ducked a backhanded sword swing from Dante and proceeded to slash Dante across his chest ending his attack by kicking him in the groin. Dante sprung to action quickly slashing Wolverine across the chest and face. His wounds healing instantaneously, Wolverine caught Dante's blade with his bare hands and shattered it while head butting him knocking Dante backwards. Wolverine ran towards Dante prepared to stab him in the face, Dante blocked the attack and slabbed his alastor into Wolverine's stomach. While Wolverine rammed his other hand into Dante's throat. Dante coughed up blood, Wolverine's victory was near. Ready to finally end the fight Wolverine swung his other claw about to decapitate his opponent. A blinding flash of light proceeded this Wolverine fumbled backwards rubbing his eyes and ears. Majin Dante emerging from this and entering a fighting stance.
Wolverine entered another berserker rage and the two charged each other, clashing blades in a blinding spectacle. Ending with Wolverine screaming in agony as he was left with lacerations all across his body. As his wounds healed Dante threw him into the air and unsheathed his Sword of Sparda. Attacking Wolverine with another barrage of sword swings. Wolverine countered those attacks he could, before Dante kicked him in the stomach sending Wolverine plummeting to the ground. Dante teleported in front of Wolverine slowing down time and flying into the air at speeds far beyond hypersonic. Wolverine defenseless as Dante swung his sword cutting through his neck. Wolverine's eyes widened as his head detached from his body. Majin Dante watched as from above as his opponents corpse fell into a body of water. Wolverine's body sunk to the bottom of it while his head slowly followed gasping for air before finally succumbing to his wounds.
K.O.!
DAM: Can somebody please tell me! How the hell did that fussy demon killed the nigh-indestructible Wolverine?
Harry: Calm down buddy, we'll get to that later. For now lets compare their strength, speed, weaponry and healing prowess. First up is strength. Dante has the advantage in this category. Wolverine may be skilled enough and tough enough to frequently battle with the Hulk. However his lifting strength is only 2 tons, as he was capable of holding up a two ton elevator. Dante on the other hand can lift over 100 tons and because his powers can practically double in hie devil trigger form he could easily lift over 200 tons. Even then he further increase his powers in his majin form so that's nowhere near his maximum potential. Speed was another close debate, but, still Dante has the edge he can move far beyond hypersonic speeds and again this isn't anywhere near his final potential. Wolverine may react fast enough to hit Speed Demon who runs as fast as the speed of sound and compete evenly against Spider-Man's spider sense. Even if Wolverine did manage to get a hit on Dante it would immediately heal and Dante could always slow down time to compensate and maneuver around Wolverine or even kill him. On with weapons, again another category in Dante's favor. He's got weapons suitable for all ranges short range, long range, mid range. While Wolverine is a skilled marksman and swordsman he is only effective up-close with his claws which can outmatch Dante's own short range weapons, most of them, but wouldn't have an effect on him from a far. Finally is regeneration or healing factors. Yet another advantage for Dante. His regeneration is instantaneous and with his super dense body he can withstand a lot of force. The same can be said for Wolverine who has tanked a nuclear explosion. However his healing factor is extremely inconsistent both inside and outside of the comics. It has been relinquished, lost, and overall useless more times than I could count. So Dante clearly has Wolverine outmatched in these categories. However the big question DAM had was a little tougher to answer than we thought.
The Doctor: Wolverine's virtually indestructible skeleton made this an incredibly close fight as he could withstand nearly any and all of Dante's attacks. The big question we had was. "Could any of Dante's attacks or could his attack combined break Adamantium?" The answer to this was a difficult one to find. Having said that we discovered that Wolverine's Adamantium body eventually turned on him and that was the reason behind his most recent death. With that in mind and knowing that he was able to withstand blows from Mjolnir a 1,000,000,000 ton hammer, it made it clear that the majority of Dante's attacks would be useless against Wolverine. The majority of these were his firearms and guns. However, his other weapons had stood a chance of at least damaging his body. As they contained the souls and powers of demons. His most prominent weapons were his devil trigger and majin form. While in his devil trigger his powers double instantaneously. Compared to his majin form, when his powers increase to unimaginable levels. Another thing we saw during out research was. "Wolverine would win by simply ripping off Dante's head." This is incorrect for three reasons. Number one Wolverine has no knowledge of Dante and his universe, meaning he wouldn't know that he needs to tear his head off. Secondly Dante's regenerative abilities are far more impressive than one would think whenever he takes a hit it is healed immediately. Not to mention his body superhumanly tough making it harder for even Wolverine's claws to get past. Finally Dante's speed and agility far outmatch Wolverine's. He can move far beyond hypersonic speeds outside his devil trigger form and even if Wolverine did get the upper hand he could compensate by simply slowing down time and setting him up for a counterattack. Wolverine has far more exploitable weaknesses than Dante. At some point during there battle they would eventually come across water, as 71% of the Earth's surface is water. Another thing is decapitation and sever spinal damage. While not strong enough to damage Wolverine in his normal state, Dante would be 'theoretically' capable of beheading him or inflicting insurmountable damage to his spine. At the end of the day. Dante was stronger, faster, possessed the superior regenerative abilities and had Wolverine overpowered in the weapons category.
DAM: Wolverine's experience and near-indestructible body were a tough act to beat. But, Dante had him outmatched. No matter how you look at it. He's got Wolverine beat in every conceivable way.
Harry: The Winner is Dante.
