on the other hand, Wolverine doesn't seem capable of being killed through blunt force trauma due to his healing and the fact that his bones/skull wont break.... whereas Superman has been killed this way
If wolverine got hit with a nuclear bomb there wouldn't be anyting left but a smoking skeleton. Every part of his body would be instantly vaporized. Now if he was far enough away he could survive the initally blast and radioactive fall out but not at ground zero.
The reason Superman can fly near the sun is that as he nears the sun, his body absorbs more solar energy which in turns makes his aura stonger and thus allows him to get closer to the sun. Now with a direct nuclear explotion wouldn't give him the time to gradually build up his aura so he would be hurt. But I don't think it would be enough to kill him.

You have to remeber that Nukes come in different yeilds and are either fission or fusion. So Superman might could handle a smaller one but I think one of the higher yeild weapons would hurt him IMO.

If he is invulerable how did Doomsday kill him by punching? Superman's aura can be overloaded by either blunt force or releases of lots of energy both of which is exactly what a nuclear explotion will give off. It would take a big one but it could hurt him http://www.starnet-database.com/dba...n/superman.html

The last paragraph says:
High Energy Attacks or Radiation: High energy radiations of a particular wavelength can also cause injury by overloading the field at a single point, hence the reason he can be harmed by high energy weapons such as blasters, lasers and plasma weapons. Kinetic kill weapons with sufficient force can also overload the field at that point.
which is way strong physical and high energy attacks can hurt him
