Who has the highest pain tolerance?

Just for the sake of arguement, do we count healing factors? I've always had the impression that a healing factor helped mitigate pain and make it more tolerable. or at least give the mental comfort of knowing it will heal.

I'd put Orion in if we count those. He's been stabbed in every fatal area on his body, and he was still able to get away to Himon. Not to mention having his energy drained for over a month and still having enough juice left to overload Metropolis's power plants.

Not counting them, Joker. Gordon shot him in the leg during No-Man's land. Joker wasn't even phased. He just started laughing after he realized it was because of what he did to Batgirl. Or when Jason Todd beat him with a lead pipe. He shrugged that off too.

I could count Azrael, but I think I'm the only one who actually liked him. 🙁

According to Wolverine, his healing factor doesn't lessen the pain...

... also according to Wolverine his adamantium skeleton keeps him in constant pain, his claws hurt every time they come out (and continue to hurt the whole time they are out) and the actual process of healing is extremely painful. Wolverine is the winner for pain tolerance?

Healing factors by nature have to lessen pain due to the wound only lasting a couple seconds, as opposed to someone without a healing factor who's wound would last several days or weeks causing increased pain. For example, Wolverine gets stabbed, feels pain for maybe three seconds, then heals, as opposed to a regular human who gets stabbed, and deals with pain for several days. Furthermore, pain often times arrives several seconds after the wound has been created depending on the nervous systems ability to process what has happenned. I.e How many times have you cut or injured yourself, and not felt the pain for several seconds, minuted or even hours later? Thus, there are probably times when Wolverine gets injured, and doesn't even feel pain because he is healed before his brain has time to process what has occured.

Then you have the whole mental aspect of a healing factor which makes things much easier.

On the other hand, a healing factor allows a person to withstand a sustained assault without passing out from shock, which obviously can make a painful situation last much longer. Such as Wolverine getting his skin melted off by Nitro which would of killed a normal human almost instantly, while he had to endure that pain until he was whole again.

It just depends on the situation I guess.

batman wolverine punisher or deadpool.

I'm sure it's been mentioned numerous times, but Black Bolt's gotta be up there.

Personally, I feel like it should be one of the peak humans without a healing factor such as Captain America, Batman, Joker, Punisher or Daredevil etc...

Batman dislocates his shoulders like I crack my knuckles.

"When the claws come out...Does it hurt?"

"Everytime".

Juggernaut is not suppose to feel any pain whatsoever. So, I guess that would put him at or around the top.

If he feels no pain then it makes it impossible to judge his pain tolerance, because there is no pain for him to tolerate...

I said he's not suppose to feel pain. There have been some on panel showings where it looks like he's feeling some level of pain. I don't think he's completely immune to it.

Very true-Juggernaut should feel pain worese than an ordinary person, if his complete invulnerability is taken away, as he never has to deal with it, and so is not used to it.

For a normal human I'd say Herr Starr.

He wasn't born the juggernaut...

Barracuda from the Max Punisher comics.

Yeah-I know that, but he is accustomed to being indestructable, and so isn't used to pain.
