do they have adamantium on them? someone i was talking to said that you can chop off woverine's head by slicing through the tendons and ligaments and such...i was under the impression that those are coated somehow too. could someone provide me with a scan showing that i am right? i'm pretty sure i am...

his skull is still linked to his spine and such, so no, you really can't...

afaik, it's the skeleton that's laced, and nothing more...

His bones can not be seperated with the amount of force we've seen thus far, I don't know if his ligaments and tendons have shown to be as strong as his bones, but they are indeed stronger than normal humans.

he wouldnt be able to move.

theyve never been shown to get separated in 616, but his arm got blown off in AoA and part of his spine knocked out in a What If?
by the Hulk.

That was just one dislodged vertebra.

AoA and others aren't usually accepted as canon.

i stated they werent. but it makes logical sense that that would work.
plus, its not like your going to find an example in 616, and those stories are written by people who write the actual statement. in other words what you just said is a cliche overstatement.

Actually 616 Wolverine had his neck snapped by NC and Sabes... but that doesn't mean you can decapitate him. His skeleton works like an action figure... hell it was even depicted like that in Days of Future Past (not canon, I know, just saying)...

Ultimate Sabretooth got decapitated by Wolverine, both have adamantium skeletons... I KNOW! not canon... bah!

Wow, really? Good thing I already lost any respect I had for the Ultimate universe awhile ago.

Ultimate Wolverine doesn't have a modular/linked skeleton, his joints are his weak points. Which really makes more sense.

Why Hulk was able to rip him in half, though he was able to put himself back together.

That part was bullshit, IMO.

Ultimate Wolverine is a loser. Just look at this:

It's a comic.

I don't know, surviving being torn into pieces and being able to put yourself back together doesn't sound so "loser" to me. Just look at the guys who torn him up, they're not light-weights.

thanks for all the responses everyone. i just remember battlehammer claiming that wolvies joints and stuff had adamantium or something. i don't remember, i just remember him and some others claiming that wolvie's head can't be sliced off at the joints, or any of his limbs.

I know, I know. He's a loser when we compare him to his counterpart, though. The Real Wolverine literally laughs off bullets, can't be ripped in half, survived decapitation, two nukes, regenerated from a single drop of blood (to be fair, his HF was amplified then), got out from a vat of molten metal and just walked away...

And that's true. Some bad guys in Sentry suits tried to decapitate him with an adamantium buzzsaw. Guess what? They failed.

Ba'al tried to rip him apart only to find out he can't.

The Hulk didn't even succeed in tearing one of his tendons responsible for the claws, let alone rip them off.

The Hulk had leaped and landed on Wolverine's fingers and they stayed connected.

Silver Samurai arguably tried twice to cut him between the vertebrae with no effect.

Do you have the scan for this?

Cool scans, cool scene, actually. But .. there's a kid's life at STEAK here?!? Augh! Don't they have people supposed to catch friggin' errors like that? What's he trying to say, that a kid's currently being tenderized and readied for BBQing or what? *grumbles about incompetence*

facepalm

No, it's from Hulk/Wolverine: Six Hours.

If you thought I was serious. . .

I didn't, but someone else could 6 hours story is canon, like it or not. There is also another example when Classic Cyber took hold of Logan's claws and it didn't hurt him at all.

And Classic Cyber had some insane strength feats, like throwing a rolled up piece of paper through a window, breaking it

I recall reading in one of the Bullpen Bulletins at the back of a comic someone asking the editor (Bob Harras?) why Wolverine's bones don't pop out his body after he falls of a building or something. His answer was that each of his bones were connected by microscopic adamantium chains. I've been trying to find it in the back of my old comics but can't locate it.

to reinforce this, another character with most of his bones laced with adamantium had his neck snapped-Bullseye. True it's not his whole skeleton like Wolverine but definitely his entire spine.

I thought he got his neck snapped before the adamantium.

Logan's not able to free his claws from Hulk's grasp via all his major arm muscles, but pulling them in does the job???

After too. American Eagle snapped it and left him as helpless as he was before until Osbourne found a way to replace the damaged section of his spine and brain from that encounter with prosthetics.

No, it's not.

The tendons responsible for his claws are vastly stronger than other muscles. It's common knowledge.

Yeah, climbing & walking when all his muscles had burned off, no one else have a problem with that?

Merely saying that he has better feats than Ult. Logan.

And yeah, actually that makes sense if you take into consideration Guggenheim's story. IMO that just wasn't under his own power. He must've won another fight against Lazaer.

The only other person who moved after becoming a skeleton was Juggernaut. Logan walked off being incinerated by molten steel.

awesome, thanks guys. does anyone have any scans of silver samurai or sabertooth trying to cut off wolverine's head or sever his spinal column? those scans would totally own this guy i'm arguing with.

Heard about that chains theory, too. That would explain why some of his bones can get dislocated but not severed.

thanks dude!

You're welcome.

I think it boils down to how his individual bones are connected to one another and the degree of the tensile strength that holds the connecting bones together. you have to understand human anatomy and physiology to appreciate the complexities behind wolverine's adamantium skeleton and the ultra high tensile joints. Having an adamantium skeleton will be extremely hard to decapitate, why?, because the distance of how two individual bones connects is extremely small, meaning there is less space for connective tissues like tendons and ligament, that explains why a sword will stop and not cut through his spine, fingers, joints, because the blade will hit two connecting adamantium bones, hence it will break or stop the sword's force.
99% of the time, the blade does not get to hit in-between two connecting adamantium bones, especially bones as complex in structure and shape. ones with irregular shapes; vertebra, ribs, humerus, radius, tibia, phalanges, scapula, patella etc.. but in most cases the blade gets to hit individual bones covered with adamantium.

like before another explanation is why he is indestructible is the tensile strength of his joints, especially his tendons and ligament. you have to understand that the weight of the adamantium will put pressure on his tendons and ligament, hence his body has to keep up with the new weight of his highly dense bones. fortunately for him, is constant regenerative healing factor allows his body to either make new tendon packed tissues to support the weight or it constantly tears and repairs itself to hold his joints together, so this will explain why his ball and socket joints ( femur and humerus) gets popped out but not ripped out, that is why baal couldn't rip his arms out, the tensile strength holding two bones is too strong.

Adamantium chains holding his bones together is the best explanation I have read so far because they have nothing to do with tendons or ligaments and allow full motion. Mind you, the answer I read was from when Wolverine got his adamantium from the weapon x program and since then he has lost it and had it returned by Apocalypse. The process may not have been the same.

Basically it is up to the writers. So far we have seen that Ultimate Wolverine can be torn apart and the 616 version has resisted it... but that can change at any time. Honestly, I hope they don't have this happen in the 616 universe because once it happens the first time, it becomes a recurring theme and you'll see his limbs getting ripped off every other issue like in the Ultimate Universe.
