This might just prove to be one of the biggest and most dangerous fights that Echo would have to fight in her life, sinceHugh Jackman’s performance for 17 years as the Mutant already shown us that Wolverine is not the kind of hero you mess with, especially when he brandishes his Adamantium Claws and means business. Thus many fans have also called out her wish as being nothing but unattainably ambitious.

While her wish may be something that may or may not happen in the MCU in the future, fans have already conceptualized how it might go about, which has most of them believing the outcome may not be in Lopez’s favor.

Seeing what Wolverine is capable of with just his animalistic nature alone, it is hard to imagine Echo being able to even stand near the hero’s capabilities in battle.
