Can someone tell me every character that has thrown Wolverine as part of a Fastball Special?

[u/SorakuFett]

Obviously there's Colossus, and of course Hulk and Thing have done so too and I know of that time She-Hulk did it and commented on Wolverine's butt to his chagrin, but have any other characters done a Fastball Special on Wolverine?

[u/Connolly1227]

Colossus, rogue, armor, thing, hulk, I think maybe Luke cage?, magneto, Jean, captain marvel

Polaris has done it with x-2

I’m sure there’s more

[u/Discount_Lex_Luthor → u/Connolly1227]

She-hulk pretty famously did and commented on Wolverines butt.

[u/Connolly1227 → u/Discount_Lex_Luthor]

Ughhh I knew there was someone that commented on him doing it with a dude normally and couldn’t remember who it was it was totally her!!!

[u/BlackTeckel → u/Connolly1227]

luke cage also did fast ball special with iron fist, that shit is scary

[u/woodrobin → u/BlackTeckel]

Yeah. I believe Danny punched a flying troop carrier to death in that instance.

Spider-Man also once used his webs to hurl Iron Fist at an opponent whilst yelling "Fist him!" which caused Danny to grumble "I hate when people say that" as he charged up for the attack.

[u/dizzyapparition → u/woodrobin]

Pretty sure it was the Thor clone Ragnarok on the receiving end of that.

[u/Synth-Pro → u/BlackTeckel]

I don't know why I find the thought of a rich, white, New York boy with a glowing hand being hurled at me at high speed more terrifying than a small, angry, furry Canadian with literal metal claws being hurled at me

But somehow, I do

[u/Shellfish_Treenuts → u/Synth-Pro]

You must live in the suburbs…

[u/A_Queer_Owl → u/Connolly1227]

Spider-Man and She-Hulk have also thrown X-23.

[u/sparkster777 → u/Connolly1227]

Didn't Storm do it once with wind?

[u/dread_pirate_robin → u/Connolly1227]

Luke Cage definitely did in their New Avengers era, during Dark Reign, against a Frost Giant.

[u/jan_67 → u/Connolly1227]

Rogue did the fastball special with Wolverine, Colossus and Deadpool, maybe more.

[u/Kooperking22 → u/Connolly1227]

Luke Cage has done similar fastback special with Iron Fist before btw

[u/Speedster1221]

There is one special version of the fastball special called the 'Magnetic Fastball Special' where Magneto throws Colossus.

[u/Shabolt_ → u/Speedster1221]

Magneto throwing Collossus and Wolverine only for Colossus to send out Wolvie even faster is like making a mutant railgun lmao

[u/DrScorcher → u/Shabolt_]

I love that in Marvel Rivals, he has a line with Logan asking him to let him know when Colossus will do a fastball special because Magneto can throw both of them. 

[u/Marik-X-Bakura → u/Shabolt_]

Could Logan then throw Laura? That would bring a tear to my eye

[u/pacostacos7 → u/Marik-X-Bakura]

Might need to be slightly smaller, so Gabby would work.

[u/woodrobin]

Not Wolverine, but Squirrel Girl has occasionally hurled one of her squirrel friends at an opponent. She calls it the "Fuzzball Special". It apparently caused MODOK to have a panic attack, screaming "Not in the face! Not in the face!". Which does make sense -- I don't think his arms can reach all the parts of his face, and his telekinesis projects from his headband, so I don't think he can aim it at his own face either. That squirrel could pretty much have free reign to gnaw chunks off of the poor floating head terrorist with impunity.

And remember, these are Central Park squirrels. Central Park squirrels are like Russian toilet paper: rough, tough, and won't take shit off of anybody.

[u/A_Queer_Owl → u/woodrobin]

damn, being MODOK would suck so hard.

[u/BeemerGuy323 → u/A_Queer_Owl]

"I'm not a dick!"

[u/k3ttch → u/woodrobin]

Not to mention a real pain in the ass. The toilet paper, I mean. Maybe the squirrels too, but I think they use gerbils for that.

[u/woodrobin]

Younger, time-displaced Cyclops used an optic blast to fire Hulk) and on another occasion Hulk and Hercules) at an opponent. He wanted to call it a "Fastball Special" until he was informed the name was taken. I think he settled on "Cannonball Special" although he did stubbornly insist on sticking with his first choice for a bit.

Adult Cyclops has used his optic blast to hurl Wolverine at least once, I think.

[u/KarmaSpidr]

I know Spider-Man did the Fast Ball Special with Laura during their first team up.

[u/Mace_Thunderspear]

I don't remember what issue it's in but Logan at one point has commented that Warpath, of everyone that's ever thrown him, was easily the most mindful of his body and "could throw him anytime"

[u/Scoob1978]

Wolverine threw Colossus once on the moon

https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Glossary:Fastball_Special

[u/the_greatest_story]

I remember a comic where war path or thunder bird were reflecting on themselves and the question was "what is a compliment someone gave you?" " wolverine told me that I take the most care throwing him of anyone he's ever done a fastball special with"

[u/DarlingIAmTheFilth]

I think people might have forgotten the time Carol (then-Ms. Marvel) threw Wolverine? Also technically there was a variation where Nightcrawler threw Wolverine.

[u/Insecure-Classroom]

I have vague memory of Beast doing a fastball special.

[u/bertboxer → u/Insecure-Classroom]

i may be misremembering but beast does it in the 92 cartoon

[u/notthe1stpervaccount → u/Insecure-Classroom]

During the Blue Gold era Beast used to throw him if I’m remembering correctly.

[u/k3ttch]

Spidey did it with Laura if that counts. With webbing.

[u/Insecure-Classroom → u/k3ttch]

Phrasing!! 😳

[u/k3ttch → u/Insecure-Classroom]

I regret nothing. 😁

[u/RayRodSD]

IMO it’s only a Fastball Special if Colossus does the throw. ‘Nuff said

[u/Driftmoth → u/RayRodSD]

Otherwise it's just sparkling acceleration?

[u/TheBalrogofMelkor]

X-Manhunt might have sucked, but the Fastball Special variant where Cyclops shoots Magic while she surfs on her soulsword was awesome.

[u/Little-Efficiency336]

She hulk did it once.

[u/Smeagol_saves]

Wolverine threw Colossus once when they were off the planet in lower gravity. Pretty sure it was the OG Phoenix Crisis. 

[u/notthe1stpervaccount]

Beast used to do it during the X-Men Blue and Gold teams era iirc.

[u/Funnythinker7]

its colossus and wolverines special move but all these other turkeys copied them.

[u/imadork1970]

Shulkie

[u/CartesianCS]

Has juggernaut not done it yet? He’s on the x-men now, but not with Wolverine.

[u/Touchgetmejetfire]

Hulk in rivals

[u/AterJT]

I remember in X Force, Archangel tossed him at a bunch of dudes

[u/7ni4F]

I think the algorithm is literally reading into my activities, recently read an Exiles issue where Juggernaut fastballs Nocturne.

[u/gunner172]

She Hulk but Logan still doesn’t want juggernaut’s sloppy seconds

[u/Marik-X-Bakura]

Pretty sure “fastball” is a baseball thing, but baseball isn’t even popular in Russia or Canada

[u/notthe1stpervaccount → u/Marik-X-Bakura]

Russia you’re probably right, but at the time the Fastball Special was introduced and prominent the Toronto Blue Jays were formed and through the 80s and early 90s the team was a huge draw, culminating in about 4 years where they were they had the top attendance in the major leagues after Skydome was opened and they won back to back World Series in 92-93.

Then the ‘94 strike killed interest in the team for several years.

All of that is a moot point however, the X-Men often played baseball in Westchester for fun.

[u/Cliffy73 → u/Marik-X-Bakura]

It is however very popular in the backyard of Professor Xavier’s mansion.

[u/rufusatrazzmattaz → u/Marik-X-Bakura]

Baseball was huge in Canada back when the Fastball Special was first put on the page. It is true that it's no where near as popular now.
