Healing Factor Hierarchy.

Aside from abstracts and cosmics, who has the fastest, most efficient healing factor?

My rough list would look a little like this:

1. Mr. Immortal/Iceman?
2. Classic Juggs?
3. Deadpool/Morph
4. Cassandra Nova
5. The Lizard
6. Deadgirl?
7. Current Wolverine?
8. Savage Hulk (enraged)/Beta Ray Bill/Thor/Hercules/Gladiator (confident)?
9. Abomination
10. Mr. Sinister
11. Wendigo/Sasquatch
12. Classic Wolverine w/o Adamantium
13. Sabretooth w/o Adamantium
14. Sabretooth/Classic Wolverine with Adamantium/The Native/
15. X-23/Angel
16. Lady Deathstrike
17. Wild Child
18. Omega Red
19. Classic Cyber
20. Mystique

Shit, that wore me out. Honorable mention: Spider-Man, Green Goblin, Luke Cage and anybody else I missed. Feel free to adjust the list as you see fit, so we can arrive at some consensus.

Just Marvel?

OK. After him?

Darwin?

Mebbe.

Agent X

**** no.

darwin seems like he'd have more of a pre-emptive healing ability, in that he changes before injury so as not to get hurt. so, as far as basic survival goes, he'd be tops. but not really as a healing factor, i wouldn't say.

mr. immortal just can't die permanently. he's still been busted up for lengths of time, like just before tricking maelstrom into committing suicide. killing himself would be an easy and efficient way to heal back to normal, but it's sort of a contingency the others don't have. again, for pure survival, he'd be up there.

iceman's another one where he can take damage and injury to no end, and "heal" from it. but it's not really a healing factor [in the sense that it would be an automatic function of the body to heal injuries,] it's more of a conscious decision.

I'd say Darwin is in a class by himself.

He should be on par, or just below Deadpool.

i think they determined that deadpool's healing factor was marginally better than agent x's in cable & deadpool [issue 12?]

anyway, darwin did heal/create himself a body after having turned into an energy being. that's a testament to his ability to heal, to some extent. it's just that that's the only time i'd ever seen darwin "injured" in any way.

Then he should be at the top. 🙂

Too lazy to look it up, but does anybody remember the name of the leader of The Children of The Vault?

The one that was made of water. He had a top notch healing factor.

Also, Hydroman and Sandman should be at the top. 🙂

I think that comic book creators read these versus threads...

Darwin has the ability to heal damage before its sustained... that sounds like some of the taunts that people use against the wolverine supporters in certain threads.

You don't suppose that helped with the idea behind Darwin do you?

i dont think people whose bodies dont heal by themselves, but rather through conscious effort, really qualify as having "healing factors."

darwin's body reacts to avoid injury, whereas those with healing factors' bodies react to repair injury. again, his only real "healing" feat was when he created a body for himself.
