After watching the Punisher, it made me wonder how the more mainstream superheroes would handle torture, both physical and psychological. I tried to limit the list to the top 3 mainstream heroes of each studio. Here are the superheroes:
Superman
Wonder Woman
Batman
Captain America
Tony Stark
Thor
Wolverine
Prof. X
Mystique
Stipulations: Everyone is stripped of all their powers. Their durability is reduced to that of a normal human being that fits their physique. They are each entrusted with a secret that, if it lands in the wrong hands, would cause the deaths and injuries of an entire city's population. The heroes have been captured by a terrorist organization and are being tortured to reveal this secret.
Round 1: Each hero is put under physical torture of ever increasing magnitude. I'll leave it up to you to imagine what kind of torture. Who breaks first, who breaks last?
Round 2: A group of civilians are brought in and are killed/tortured one by one in front of the hero until they give their secret up. Who breaks first, who breaks last?
Round 3: The hero's loved ones (which can include other heroes on the list) are killed/tortured one by one in front of the hero till they give their secret up. Who breaks first, who breaks last?

I don't know why some of you are going on about being right and winning. Rob and Impediment were in on this gag because I PMed them. Silent and Rao PMed me and figured I changed the post. I highly doubt anybody thought Quan made the post, but simply played along just for the lulz.
Wolverine having Adamantium and Healing doesn't mean he is immune to pain...
Every time the Wolverine is hurt he feels the pain.
Even without his powers, Wolverine has proven that he can take almost any pain (maybe because he has take so much pain throughout his life that he already grown use to it ).
You stated that this secret could cost countless lives
Wolverine has already done something similar when he killed the love of his life in order to save thousands of lives (X Men 3)
Wolverine would definitely be able to secure the secret .
Why, what has DCEU Batman been through that makes you think he'd withstand torture?

But even for Batfleck, he is more used to tolerating pain as a normal human (than most of the others). Even if no major feats of pain tolerance, it's safe to say he has had taken a few hits in his career. For example, he fights through being stabbed without much reaction (relatively, for a human). It's obvious to me its not the first time its happened.
However, I'd most likely pick Wolverine for reasons already stated. He has experience sustaining more pain than a human could (without dying/passing out). I say "most likely" because I always believed his healing factor nullifies pain a little - this is my opinion. An example I would use is the pain of giving birth. People say it's one of the most painful experiences, and that women can tolerate more pain then men. While it's probably true - when women give birth, a pain-killer hormone is released to reduce the pain to a tolerable level. Undoubtedly it is still very painful (*bane voice*), but there is a difference. Even so, I still think Wolverine's pain tolerance is ahead of anyone here.
And all that is for round 1 - I think there are reasons why he is worth considering for the other rounds.
So I watched Dr strange last night fir the first time since it was in theaters and I thought of this thread during that scene where strange traps dormomu and himself in that time loop where he was killed over and over.
He was killed in some pretty gruesome ways, around dozen times and was prepared to continue getting brutally killed over and over again for all eternity.
I was just wondering where u guys would place him amongst other mcu characters for round 1.
