4. Father and Son
Comic book: Uncanny X-Force
Even after Daken found out the truth about his mother’s death, his disdain for his father (Wolverine) didn’t end. Logan tried his best to get his son to see the truth, but decades of hate and abuse from Romulus couldn’t change him. It wasn’t until Daken threatened to kill the kids at the Jean Grey School of Higher Learning that he realized the truth. No matter what, his son wasn’t going to change.
Wolverine and Daken fought, and Logan won. It wasn’t just a fight. In order to get Daken to stop, he had to kill him. The fight concludes with Wolverine drowning his son in a puddle. This is one of the many moments that Wolverine will never forget or forgive himself for.
