A lot? Sure. Problem is, as issue 73 showed, Wolverine goes through a lot on a pretty much daily basis. And while his healing factor can handle a lot of punishment, there are certain factors that can increase or decrease the effect on it. For instance, if he bleeds out, it takes more energy for his healing factor to replace those blood cells then it does to heal internal bleeding. Also, if he is in a desert, and gets gunned down, the harsh environment can cause his healing factor to empty earlier, such as in issue #67 of his first ongoing solo.

Basically, it's important that when you talk about what it takes to put Wolverine down, you have to list more than just the knockout punch; all the blows he took before did leave their toll, just not in the same way it does most people.

the thing I'm basically wondering is how long it takes his healing factor..to heal itself.

No, it's Yukio, the woman whom he was attracted to even while engaged to Mariko Yashida and with whom he left Amiko Kobayashi, his foster daughter. Yukio has always been his 'sometimes lover' after he had to kill Mariko when she was being poisoned. 🙂

Yeah errr that's what I meant... I thought she was scarred and crippled since her fight with LD and OR.

Thats what any sane person would deduce however if you've been to debates with jinzin if Wolverine sustains any damage then its all over Wolverine isnt at 100 percent. I think Trackz questions are very good but maybe we should take this discussion to a Vs thread.

Personally I would like jinzin to answer the question though.

Well Ize just answered it.

It's only sensible to YOU because you have no idea what you're talking about.... and we talk about something happening "before that" because it usually did.
When you're using examples of Wolverine being put down by 1 or 2 class 100 punches in several fights to pretend that this is some standard of Wolverine's performance but ignoring that Wolverine before being rendered unconscious in those fights had to heal from: Being burned to a skeleton, having his head nearly cut off and bleeding out through major arteries for minutes before anyone came to help him, or having a hole punched through him the size of a Lady Deathstrike hand.... Then you're readily ignoring what Wolverine's HF has already been subjected to (with no time to eat, rest, replenish etc in between)..... Of course we could just call PIS on those moments because they ARE outside the status qua, BUT because most of us actually CARE about context we choose to tell you bafoons WHY the example's are skewed in the first place rather than simply writing them off.

Again... you use skewed examples, you ignore why they're skewed and indeed don't even consider them to be skewed and then whine about it when the context is explained back to you... it's rather ridiculous protocall.

Look, I understand you have your agenda, and I get that you hate hate HATE Wolverine and his fans but when is this crap going to stop huh?

Your constant attempts to discredit Logan or argue him being below what he is, are nothing but a joke anymore and it's certainly not getting any better for you.

When we've got you guys telling us you're not ignorant about the character but asking for examples of him being taxed out....... SERIOUSLY?
It's like you never read a Wolverine/X-men comic in your life. Which in your case, STILL, Alfeim would not surprise me in the least.

Now I see that this is all just some grudge you have and especially due to the Wolverine Cap fight in Origins, but you need to get it through your thick skull.... either it was Wolverine being sleep deprived and malnurished as was made a plot point MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE STORY... and directly proven by the same writer, using the same artist in the same half dozen issues...... OR.............. that Wolverine was unable to heal his forearms for 3 minutes was an utter load of PIS. Your pick, though I know you'll readily ignore that choice as well as if there was some other option to better serve your insane unending agenda... It's what you've done afterall.... for the last 4 years.

Now when it comes down to it, Wolverine's HF has been proven to need hydration and food to work at optimum levels, he's stated that he has phantom pains, that healing wounds hurts just as much as being wounded, he's stated that he even needs to meditate in some cases to help parts of his body recover that have already healed days to weeks after the damage was done, and at the end of the day.... THAT. HE. GETS. TAXED. OUT.

And that's really the debacle here.. If he didn't get taxed out, if he never became hindered by previously mounted damage.... if healing previously created wounds meant nothing for newly inflicted wounds.... He would never get taxed out, never reference it, and indeed he would be far far far more difficult to immobilize as nothing would ever wear him down... which is how his entire roagues gallery tends to try and beat him. 😐

This whole misconception that you knitwits decided to start supporting about previous damage not inflicting his healing factor to any serious degree goes against so many facts, statements, feats, proof and COMMON KNOWLEDGE that it almost sickens me this many people have even bothered to address the issue.

Wolverine 73 is an injoke to Wolverine's overuse throughout the Marvel Universe and it should be obvious. As you often say not every writer thinks so in depth about using Wolverine in their stories, there's not even the consideration of what he's doing in other books and with the exception of a couple tie-in issues, Wolverine Origins is a perfect example of this point. And if we're going to take 73 completely seriously (I.e. Wolverine looking to be having some extensive fight with Juggernaught)..... then YES Wolverine's healing factor is quite hindered.

Ok, then I didn't miss anything as I was confused by that as well. What was carved into her back again? Been awhile.

It doesn't. The only things that can restore Wolverine's healing factor are rest, nutrition, and time. This is why malnourishment, lack of rest, and a busy schedule reduce it's effectiveness, although it does its best to compensate for it.

Yeah, but when it is subject to extreme damage, it can short circut and cut out for awhile like when Logan had the adamantium ripped out. The only reason that hasn't happened since is because during the time Logan went ferel, his healing increased to unreal levels. He went human again but kept most of this enhanced healing and it never really died down too much when the adamantium was put back in. This explains why his healing has been so insane since.

Yeah... I know. What I'm saying is, that once it has "short circuited," the only way for it to recharge is for him to eat, rest, and allow time for it to come back to full strength. I acknowledge that the time required has decreased over the years, but it is still part of the equation.

so battling for weeks on end doesn't effect it?

Uncanny X-Men 510

Wolverine trashes Psylocke and Lady Deathstrike. Psylocke manages to hold her own briefly but as soon as Wolverine get serious he takes both Psylocke and Lady Deathstrike down instantly, before Maddie can finish walking across his room. Psylocke is mindcontrolled or something... but she is literally no threat to Wolverine at all in this fight, and I can't imagine the discrepancy in power / skill between a mind controlled Psylocke and a non-mind controlled Psylocke being that significant.

Yes, it effects it. Don't know if anyone else is going to reference that, but at least for the purposes of Jason Aaron's parts of 73 and 74, it should be reduced.

Wolverine vs. Hulks

Logan had been accidentally sent into future by Punisher 2099 and faced an army of Hulks. Didn't fare too bad, considering that he killed/incapacitated (with their HF you can never be sure) some of them and was still conscious after taking a massive beating. On the next page we see him he seems completely fine and even threatens GR 2099*.

Sorry about the delay. So apart from certain factors eg lack of food, dehydration and poison I think we could assume unless stated that his HF is 100%.

Wait a sec I thought you just stated apart from certain factors it takes alot for Wolverine HF no to be 100%?

Wolverine: Weapon X #1

Drunken Wolverine is still too fast for an untrained eye. What he does to the other thug is... well... a little terrifying 😘

Wolverine: Weapon X #2

Wolverine vs. The Adamantium Men

These guys are no joke. Armed to the teeth. Superhuman senses, strength and reflexes. Artificial healing factor. Their bones laced with synthesized adamantium. Energy blades. Still, just two of them can't take down Logan. They get some reinforcements, probably more than 10 men. Wolverine retreats and it looks like he's going to resort to many sneak attacks in the next issue.

Can't wait to see his reaction when he meets himself. Well, both of their reactions.

It's shit like this that make Logan look like a bad fighter - nerve strikes sure did a number on him during his practice fight with Shingen why not here?

1) HF is much stronger now.
2) Wolverine was nearly dead when he had that 1st fight with Shingen, and his HF was tapped out from poisons.
3) And being so physically slow and mentally muddled from his near death experience he couldn't stop Shingen from using pressure points.
4) Wolverine still took A LOT of pressure points and kept fighting even in that issue.
5) Maybe Shingen is just better than Echo.
6) People that shrug off Hulk hits should not go down to humans with pressure points.

time streams cannon correct.
