Wolverine (finally! The Revamped Respect Thread!)

Wolverine: The Best There Is #7

Wolverine mocks X-Men strategies.

Oh, and even when he's been mentally regressed to a child by Nova in Whedon's Astonishing, he still made feral Beast run away with a single stab (off-panel) 🙂

Wolverine has been infected with every virus, bacteria and illness known to man courtesy of Contagion (will post more scans later). He wakes up eventually in X-Men infirmary and needs food to speed-up the recovery process. Putting it here because there are still some people who believe his healing factor doesn't get taxed and runs on infinite energy.

so you could drown/starve Wolverine to death? I dunno, writers always seem to disagree with the strengths/weaknesses of his healing factor.

Seems ok to me. It is actually pretty cool IMO.

Yeah, it is quite confusing and depends on the writer. Guggenheim and Aaron come to mind. After the deal with Azrael was made (no more eternal soul), Logan was shown taking ridiculous amounts of punishment in Get Mystique with taxed HF already and still not dying.

I believe his healing factor can be significantly slowed down via conventional means given enough time, but not permanently turned off. It needs a time-off to operate again at high capacity. Nourishment and sleep are pretty essential to restore it quicker.

Here's my problem with this, going by marvel canon, he should barely have any time at all to restore his healing factor, since he has his own adventures, his avengers missions, x-men missions, and x-force missions.

Plus guest appearances and team-ups. It kinda explains why it fluctuates so much 😉

His mutation is an adaptive one, i.e. HF gets "used to" the type of damage that is inflicted on Wolverine and thus he recovers faster than in earlier incidents. I think it's safe to say his regeneration is now powerful enough to handle that many appearances. And remember, Marvel doesn't always tell us when exactly the story is taking place.

Yea alot of comics actually take place far apart but becasue of the way they are released seems at the same time. i mean some comics take a years worth of issues for 2 days and others months go by in 3.

But anyway does wolverine have a large presence in the x-23 comics?

Exactly.

Large presence? No. But he does appear from time to time, in the recent arc he got more panel time than before.

but that one Wolverine one-shot showed that Wolverine is constantly travelling maybe getting time to rest every other day, in my opinion I just think an editor at Marvel needs to lay the framework of his healing.

which one shot?

Not one-shot, he's talking about that issue from Wolverine ongoing in which he one-shotted Wrecker and went toe to toe with Full-powered Juggernaut.

when was this?

Wolverine #73 and #74.

I'm kind of mad that the last three issues of Wolverine were essentially the same book. I get it, every member of the Red Right Hand has a tragic past evolving Wolverine, but I figured that out three issues ago. I don't need to walk through the origin of every one of these cultists, especially since they are telling the same story.

I enjoy it, but at the same time I can understand why you're annoyed about it. Tragic past thing was already shown/hinted in Daken iirc and beating Mongrels is getting really boring.

Roger's story was the best imo. Widow seemed to be mentally unstable from the beginning and the "old man" story seems implausible to me.

It was the best one so far, and really the only one that caused me to fell any sort of sympathy for one of the characters... but it should have been the first issue of the arc, because by now I don't care. It always irks me when a story gets artificially drawn out like this for no apparent reason. The end of the story started to draw me back in, and gave hints that maybe Satan wasn't such a pussy after all but I'm ready for this story to resolve.

Who are these people? Thats not what anybody believes, you just can't keep saying he's not 100% every time he takes any damage. All that scan proves is if he takes ALOT of damage he needs to replinish his HF (which everybody already knows).

I'm not gonna point any fingers and I wasn't necessarily talking about just KMC. But yeah, there are guys who think Logan got one-shotted by Namor despite him getting reduced to the skeleton, fighting Royal Guard, stating there is no much fight left in him and taking hits from Namor before the last haymaker.

Probably going on a year or so now (can't find my original inquiry) since I last asked, so sorry in advanced for asking again.

But what's the ETA on this thread's remake?

Wolverine: 13

Hand Ninja talking about hows she's trained from birth, to fight and kill in between seconds... Wolverine effortlessly blitzes her and all the ninja behind her.

Anyone thinking the Mongrels that Wolverine has killed the last couple issues were all Wolverine's bastard children?
