Non-canon feats are distinctly marked in that thread. It has to be canon. I'm sure jinzin knows what issue it's from.

It's canon from X-men classics 10 IIRC.

And with the tigershark fight, Tigershark drove Wolverine into a reef at the bottem of the ocean and stuck his claws in it. Wolverine started to panic at not being able to breath but he was also curious how long he could last underwater. an hour apparently.

I'm not sure I could handle immortality with so little perks. I'm already pretty cynical and have little value in human affairs. The Shade went through something similar when facing his immortality and not being able to relate to anyone anymore. I would feel like I'm living in a world ran by children.

I think if I did have Wolverine's powers and I decided to do something positive I'd end up as the world's most generally knowledgeable bums, donate some blood, then end up laying around the woods fighting and eating animals.

Wolverine is for intents and purposes immortal, so I'd rather be him. I would spend all that extra time buiding up my knowledge and skills to Mr Fantastic/Doom levels.

Bats level, then. 😎 I would get a lot of hate filled posts on KMC, but would sweep almost every other "Versus" forum.

Yeah.

You can live to be 50 and still lose a lot of loved ones.

I'm only 28 and have lost quite a few. Most recently my Dad in December. It's just part of life. If I was immortal I don't think it would hurt any more or less to lose someone. There's no time limit on grief, but there's also no maximum quota on how many people you can love in life. If you can live forever you can love forever.

I'm sorry for your loss man.

And I couldn't have said it better myself.

Also losing kids has got to be really rough, not that losing other family members isn't, but I suppose it may be a different kind of pain.

You would also lose more, over and over and over.

You can't calculate the rate at which you'll lose loved ones.... He could go 200 years without finding someone he really loves.

Or he could go 1 year, but it's more likely that he will find others to love within 2 lifetimes than not, imo.

Naturally.

So there's an increased chance, but a healing factor is not necessarily akin to becoming 500 years.

Wolverine is now what, about 150-200?

And he is like a man in his 30's.

Way to not connect the dots.

I'm doing multiple things at once, I only glance over what ppl say.

My point was that life is incredibly unpredictable.

It's still very possible for us to die, even with a healing factor like Wolverine's.

Most people die from disease, that is not a problem.

Gun violence, etc. also not a problem.

What would kill you that is actually likely to happen?

I'm not entirely sure an indefinite life span would be good. Anyone watch Doctor Who? Not only would you lose loved ones, but the one lingering certainty of such an existence is that you will essentially be alone in your life, unable to share it with another human the way "normal" humans can. Once the people from your current life died off, finding lasting love at all would be hard if not impossible.

I pick Spidey. I'd go absolutely nuts with his power set. It would be absurdly fun.

Ah, but that would be highly unlikely.

Your durability wouldn't get much of a boost.

Do you know how easy it is to crush a human skull? Or get someone in the heart? Fanboy Wolverine notwithstanding, the loss of major organs should kill you.

You're underestimating the probability of accidents, car crashes, etc.
