I was wondering, when Wolverine cut off Deadpool's head, do you think that, had Bob, Agent of HYDRA, not been there, Logan would have put Wade's head back on his neck where it belongs?
I mean, on the one hand, Wolverine did know exactly how long Wade's head could be separated from the rest of his body before lethal brain damage would be achieved (or he knew how to act like he knew how long that takes). And he admitted that he really only wanted to keep Deadpool out of commission for a few minutes, until he could kill the Penatraitor (what a name, criminey). That sort of indicates that he didn't really want Deadpool to die, at least no more than all the other people who don't hate Wade and only sort of want him to die (so he'll shut up, you see).
On the other hand, this is Wolverine we're talking about. The guy doesn't exactly have the highest regard for human life, and can be a bit vindictive. And Wade has screwed Wolverine over a few times (I recall a Wolverine story drawn by Liefeld where Wade captured him so a weirdo could get ahold of Logan's blood to run experiments on it. At least that story gave Siryn the use of her vocal cords again, so not all bad), so Logan might just be inclined to figure Wade's done enough crap that he deserves death. He's kind of a jerk like that sometimes.
I'm pretty sure that even if Wolverine had put Wade's head back, he would have put it on backwards (like Bob did) and left it that way. Just because. Then he'd go smoke a cigarette off-panel, because Quesada can't control what Wolverine does when he's not actually in the picture.

Hey, now there's an idea. Marvel Adventures - Off Panel. See Tony Stark wonder why he's such a dick these days. See Thor take four or five months to pick up a hammer. See Logan, Ben Grimm, Nick Fury and Howard The Duck light up stogies!
It's a winner!!!
I think Wolverine, after being forced to slaughter hundreds of people thanks to HYDRA, was so angry he wasn't going to let Deadpool crimp his Millar-style murderous rampage, so he lopped his head off, and if he had still been in berzerker mode, likely would have forgotten.
Wolverine and Deadpool never have gotten along much. I mean, he did punch Kitty in the face. Although I think Wolverine could have forgiven him for the Liefeld story, since he WAS trying to give Siryn her powers back. Wolverine's not one to cock block.
Don't forget Reed smoking.
Guy's one of SCIENCE's top pipe smokers.
Also, he and Ben would reminisce about the big one.
I now have, stuck in my head, an image of Nick Fury opening up one of the super-secret SHIELD bunkers for himself, Ben, Logan, Reed and Howard to use as a humidor/smoking room that their wives/partners/nagging friends/Marvel editors don't know about.
Well, maybe Wolverine just LIKES cutting people's heads off! He started with Sabretooth, and has apparently gotten to like it lately.
Which is probably going to be a little awkward for him at the next Avengers meeting, when he decapitates the pizza boy for being late.
fortress keeper: I like the sound of that. We can watch Wade try to DVR "Maude" reruns he doesn't have time to watch!
dan coyle: True, Wolverine doesn't take kindly to people hurting Kitty Pryde, so I guess it could have been worse for Wade. Logan could have gotten Wade suckered into fighting Juggernaut (or current Conan-Hulk).
bret: Yeah, I always liked Reed with the pipe. Maybe Will Magnus complained that Reed was ripping him off? (I'm uncertain which nutty scientist-type puffed the pipe first.)
matthew: You think they'd let Kingpin in there, so he could enjoy his cigarettes (with FDR-style long cigarette holder) in peace? Probably wouldn't have to worry about spider-fists or billy clubs there.
sallyp: Well, when you find a shtick that works, I guess you milk it for all it's worth.
