When has Wolverine beaten the Hulk or Dark Phoneix? I don't recall any occasion where he managed to beat either of them, especially without help in the latter case since this is a superbeing that destroys whole planets.

Dante outranks Wolverine in speed and strength and he's not just sloppily using his weapons; he's proficient in just about any weapon he picks up almost instantly, especially Rebellion.

Still, keeping his head from his body would count as a Death Battle win, unless Dante were to somehow destroy every cell of him, or Dante himself gets decapitated.

Wolverine, on the topic of why he's not invincible, once said, "strap me to a magnet and throw me at the bottom of the ocean. Eventually I'll drown." Not the exact quote, but that was what he admitted.

Yeah, no lie, even as a hardcore Wolverine fan, I don't think he can survive the Penance Stare. Even he doesn't get the "immune to everything" treatment Deadpool gets.
