Hey Guys, I'm new here on Loganfiles.com, but not at all to the ol Canucklehead.
Anyways, I was just wondering what happened to Wolverine? His powers have become Godlike! I remember back in the early 80s, Wolverine could die just by getting shot enough (MCP) or by getting his throat slashed (What If...?). In the 90s, he could lose limbs (AOA).
Now, however, he can get all his flesh blown away by Nitro and still regenerate from just his adamantium skeleton.
I've heard of this happening with different Marvel characters (like the Hulk or even Deadpool), and I just wanted your opinion on the changes Wolverine has made.
Thanks!

welcome to loganfiles bestatwhatido!
for me, only the writers and editors of marvel can answer your question.
i'm shock too that wolverine heals very fast after the explosion of nitro in wolverine 43!
but the editors have the explanation in wolverine 48.
so i'm waitin' for that one!
welcome again!

Part of the increase in the effectiveness of Wolverine's healing factor can be traced to either Apocalypse or Malcolm Colcords' Weapon X. Wolverine's adamantium skeleton was dampenning the efficiency of his healing factor (his body constantly fighting adamantium poisoning). Either Apocalypse renderred the adamantium innert when he re-laced Logan's skeleton in Wolverine #145, or Colcord's scientists did something to him when they tried to re-recruit him that negated the poisonous effect of his adamantium.
Wolverine's fully-functional healing factor (without adamantium) was first measured by Henry McCoy (et.al.) in Wolverine #92. He was run over by a speeding car (breaking bones and rupturing organs) then got back up and began sprinting like an Olympic athlete a minute later.
The Nitro incident in Gugenheim's most recent arc is questionable because Wolverine seems to be incinnerated except for his inorganic skeleton then regenerates his whole body (memories intact) in minutes or less. How can organic cell replication occur without any remaining organic tissue? Hopefully Gugenheim's explanation in #48 will be a good one. (Personally I'm still hoping that was an LMD that Nitro fried).

Glad to see you here at LoganFiles.com, I will not give my opinion the the healing factor thing, until I read Wolverine #48, the current writer on Wolverine, Marc Guggenheim has promised to explain the whole "burned down to his adamantium" scene in the comics and he said that it was not Ramos's fault. Marc said that he told Ramos to draw it that way, so I will post my opinion after #48 comes out ;D

(Personally I'm still hoping that was an LMD that Nitro fried). Marc has said that the brain was intact and thats how he kept is memories and was able to regenerate, plus wouldn't bone marrow and bone its self have the the cells and DNA to start regenerating from? anyway, just some thoughts, I'll give my opinion on the subject when the arc concludes. |

I'm assuming that Adamantium - like most metals - is a poor thermal insulator, and that heat sufficient to vaporize his flesh would incinnerate all organic tissue contained within that metal skeleton, including any remaining organic bone.
But yeah, we'll see how it plays out next month.

But yeah, we'll see how it plays out next month. If adamantium was a poor thermal insulator, I don't see how it could be nearly indestructable. Or am I thinking of something different? I suppose conducting heat and electricity and breaking down the bonds between particles are completely different subjects... Wolverine CAN regenerate gray matter, right? The stuff that brains and spinal cords are made out of? |
