Slicing it up will just make the problems worse as now he runs the risk of fighting multiple things and potential to be infected by the blood that will splatter. Wolverine isn't soloing it. however fire users like gambit, magma and some others will be more effective

Have you seen The Thing? Each cell is an independent organism capable of taking over an entity and creating a perfect imitation from the inside out. When Wolvie slices it, if even one cell gets onto him, he's screwed. Chopping it up won't work, you'll just make more monsters.

The Thing really can create perfect copies to the point where the Thing doesn't even realize it is a copy.

That said I would pick the X-Men pretty easily. They'll figure out something.

That part where you said it won't realize its a copy is pulled from thin air. That was never hinted at or mentioned in the movies. It knows what it is but keeps "hidden" until its ready to strike.

Yeah the fact it knows what it is means that anyone that can peak into its mind will know what it really is.. My only concern in that is the whole 'every part of it is alive' like a separate thing (blood running away. Limbs escaping danger by breaking off and becoming its own 'thing'😉.. If they are alive like a collective then does that mean it all thinks? How much information is really bouncing around in there? Doesn't mean finding out what or who it is will be any harder I'm just curious how that would work and if that would be enough to make some sort of static to perhaps not telegraph all it's moves and intentions. Some sort of anti tp defensive type fake out it might or might not be capable of.

This is where the debate gets interesting. It may have been in the book where a character stated that this thing may have visited a thousand planets and imitated thousands of life forms. We don't really know what the hell its capable of mentally. it was flying a frickin space ship so we can assume that its smarter than a person but to what extent, we don't know.
