Actually, all rifle bullets travel faster than the speed of sound. That’s why they can’t make silent rifles. You can silence the bang of the bullet being fired, but the bullet itself will still make a sonic boom as it flies thru the air.
Green Lantern: A firetruck and a tanker of liquified yellow cheese. Drown him!
I still say a machine gun loaded with yellow bullets’d be quicker, thereby allowing less time for help to arrive.
Well Metamorpho is pretty much invulnerable and immortal. The way to kill him is psychological…get him to realize what a hideous freak he is and how horrible his life is, until he begs Ra to destroy him. This is how the identically-powered Element Girl was killed, after all.
Metamorpho, huh?
Incarceration in the core of a nuclear reactor for 99-life.
or, the aforementioned nuclear bomb.
Mmmmmm…liquefied yellow cheese…[drooooolllll]
Actually, Green Lantern isn’t that hard to kill. The key is to break his concentration.
As seen in a couple of recent random JLA issues, you can hit him with an oderless gas, then shoot him, or bombard him with microwaves or sonic waves in the right frequency to disorient him. The military did him like that when he was at the bottom of the ocean, and it was only because Aquaman was right next to him that he lived. This even worked on Hal Jordan, as Sonar used to cause him all sorts of difficulty with his…ummm…Tuning Fork Gun.
Aquaman? Isolate him from water.
Batman? You have to outthink him. He’s had his ass handed to him on plenty of occasions. It just takes planning.
In an issue of John Byrne’s She Hulk miniseries, it was shown that attacking Spiderman from all directions caused a Spider sense overload, making him helpless.
The Hulk: Everyone knows the Hulk’s deal; just stay out of his way and follow him until he turns into Banner. A bullet to the head should finish him off.
Wolverine: Presumably, a nice nerve poison would be the best way to kill him, failing that just destroy his brain somehow (Microwaves)?
Juggernaught: He’s no longer unstopable, but even back in his prime he could be taken out by putting his ass in orbit and letting him starve.
The Flash: Trick him into running through a minefield, or between some trees with a piano wire stretched between them, or over an ice slick where he slides into a big spike.
Wonder Woman: She’s vulnerable to arrows for God’s sake. There’s plenty of ways to kill her.
Martian Manhunter: Get Xavier to shut John’s brain down. Failing a convenient crossover, weaken him with fire then blast his ass into the sun.
I guess if you wanted to be reeeeally sadistic to the post-Crisis Marvel Family, you could hire Captain Nazi to beat ALL their known friends and relations into a comatose pulp. This would force Cap, Mary, and Junior to confer the power of Shazam upon all those people to save their lives, as Cap did for Freddy Freeman. Since the strength of a Marvel is inversely proportional to the number of people who are currently using it, some day there will come a time when so many people have invoked the power at once that a well-planned assault could fell the Big Red Cheese and Co. Of course you’d have to get them all at the same time because the survivors would take back the power of the deceased ones. A good nuke at the Marvel Family Bar-B-Que should do the trick.

Heh, heh, heh!

In Days of Future Past (I think), a Sentinel killed Wolverine n the future by blasting all of the flesh off his bones. His adamantium skeleton survived, but nothing else did.
Barring that, I suppose you could just throw him into the sun. His adamantium skull can protect his brain from bullets, but it can’t protect his brain from the laws of thermodynamics.
The trick to killing Wolverine is to subject him to punishment that kills him before his healing factor can compensate for it.
Pin Wolverine in place with a big magnet and hack at him until his healing factor starves him to death.
“If you shoot him, you’ll just make him mad.”
Wolverine- dump him in the LaBrea Tar Pits. Let his healing factor and adamantium claws deal with breathing hot liquid tar for the rest of his life…
The Punisher - Two words…sniper shot. Get him in a place where you can see him, take careful aim at his head, and don’t miss. Don’t rush him head on or even from behind, don’t spray a lot of bullets at him and hope you get lucky (you won’t), don’t even bother with any kind of explosive or incendiary, don’t try to overwhelm him with force of numbers, and, above all, don’t let it drag out. Get it done with instantly. Don’t even consider anything else.
Alternatively, if you happen to be a lot bigger, stronger, and tougher than him, and especially if you’re able to get the drop on him, don’t waste a MOMENT beating him to death. Pound, pound, and pound some more until he’s pulp. Don’t let up for even a few seconds, and don’t even think about cracking jokes or thinking of a “more creative” way of dispatching him; all that does is give him time to turn the tables. Speed kills…lack of speed kills *you[/i[.
Hulk - You know that chemical that stifles his rage and makes him fall unconscious? As soon as it works, cut his head off. Or shoot him in the head. Or poison him. The exactly method doesn’t matter, but finish the job. After all the damage he’s caused, why the frag does anyone even want to take him alive anymore? Kill him and extract his blood or tissues or whatever. You might not get as much out of it, but at least you can complete your research without worrying about some green monster ripping you in half.
Spawn - Create a lose-lose situation where he has to violate one of the conditions for remaining on Earth in order to do some great good…say, saving a friend from terminal cancer. (Of course, there’s always the chance that he’ll eventually defeat his evil master and come after you for revenge, so always watch your back.)
Superman - Make an android of Lois Lane wearing a kryptonite wedding ring.
(No, wait, that’s been done…)
