Wolverine may be short in nature, but Wolverine is a respected mutant whose legends stand tall. Logan has lived for many decades due to his mutation, and his near-immortality has allowed him to make all kinds of lasting enemies over the years. These enemies range from powerful arch-rivals who have similarly spent decades fighting against him to advanced technology created to destroy mutants.
While Wolverine has dealt with villains like Nitro and Silver Samurai whose powerful abilities or skills make them more than a match for the ol’ Cancucklehead, some of his best battles are still with physically strong characters. They push his healing factor to the limit. So now we will be exploring 10 villains of Logan which one can call themselves the strongest enemies.
10 Strongest Villains of Wolverine
List of Content
10 Ogun
The highly skilled ninja known as Ogun knew Wolverine for years and helped him train as a samurai warrior, though his obsession with dark mystic arts — including the ability to cheat death-soon turned him against his student.
Ogun was able to develop a technique of psionic possession that he attempted to use to first take over Wolverine before he sets his sights on Kitty Pryde.
After Ogun’s death, his spirit returned to possess a few other hosts until he settled on an enhanced soldier named Sharp, leading him to take on the name Shogun. He now had possession of not only his years of martial arts tranining and dark mysticism but the skills of Sharp and many others he had possessed.

As a spirit, Ogun was able to possess the bodies of other sentient beings, usurping their consciousness and manipulating their body as if it were his own. He was able to cast convincing illusions and seemingly resurrect the dead, among other unseen abilities. Being without a corporeal form, Ogun was immune to harm from any physical attempts at injury. | Ogun was an incomparable martial artist, being a master of thirteen different styles including his own, Ogun Ryu. He was also a brilliant swordsman and a gifted tactician. In his spirit form, Ogun was able to impart into those he possesses all of his skills and knowledge. | In his physical form – Ogun wielded a samurai sword as well as other traditional samurai weaponry.
