Because...

... that's what a healing factor does? Shocking!!!!

Why wouldn't it? That's what a healing factor does, it heals damage. Wolverine has dealt with tasers, lightening, electrocution, nerve toxins, pressure points, and every variety of attack that targets the nervous system, and he has done it without batting an eye lid. His nervous system isn't mysteriously immune from his healing factor. Read a comic.

Assuming that he's even be able to effectively use such a clumsy weapon against someone with the skill set of X-23, the tazer, if it has any effect at all, it would only last while Batman keeps his finger on the trigger. Once he lets up on the juice to follow up with another attack it would take a split second for her to recover. Batman could connect with Batarangs, judo chops, and thrust kicks all day and still not slow Laura down, while she on the other hand only needs a few well timed claw strikes or toe kicks.

even though the tasers effectiveness actually has nothing to do with damaging someones nerves... it hurts.. and it causes the body to send misinterpreted signals which is what causes the numbness and lack of control.

... HF undoes damage... Tasers effectiveness is not based on the damage that they are doing... it's not damaging the nervous system though that can be a side effect. What a taser does is tricks the nervous system into randomly firing... and it's a constant effect while the thing is active. There is nothing for x-23 to heal from that would stop a tasers effectiveness.

Hey, I get that you like X-23 in this fight, and people have probably been sarcastic to you in the past- but no need to be sarcastic to my question. Yes, a healing factor heals damage - too bad there's no damage being done here. The physical effects will still be present.

I'll put it this way. If Mr freeze froze LAura, would the magic healing factor mean that the ice would magically melt? Sure, damage from the ice would be healed, but shed still be in a block of ice.

You hit the nail on the head. Which is why a healing factor shouldn't affect a taser. Lmao.

Does Laura have any feats of ignoring taser shocks?

Because I know Wolverine does at least once or twice.

I've no doubt that he has, I'm not stupid enough to try and apply the real world to comics lol. It was just a simple question because I genuinely wanted to learn, and asked politely how it would affect its effectiveness.

Are you implying that if Locan can X-23 can?

These fights all take place in gotham. So shouldnt bruce have access to his safe houses/weapon lockers throughout the city and have remote access to batcar/plane.

Batmans also used liquid nitrogen.

Not as good as a Mr. Freeze gun, but should still be worth something.

Also, hasn't Logan had trouble with gasses in several stories? Pretty sure I've read more than one where it messed him up pretty badly, and Batman uses heavy duty gasses (Enough to put down a herd of elephants, according to one story.)

So if he struggles with them, there's not much reason to think X-23 wouldn't too, is there?

No, it doesn't work that way.

With prep he could simply grab a Mr. Freeze gun.

If I was, I wouldn't be asking if she did. But it was being implied that a taser would be equally effective against Laura and Logan.

And if memory serves, Logan tanked a cattle prod when he lost his healing factor and was dying from adamantium poisoning.

Anyone who can keep fighting without skipping a beat while half their body is on fire/melted off will shrug off a taser shock. Even regular human beings can fight off a taser shock if they're big enough or mad enough.

When Logan struggles with a gas it's usually because it was specifically designed to take down someone like him, it's much more powerful than the stuff Batman typically walks around with.

Well, I'd bet Scarecrow or Joker toxin are up there, and he does walk around with that as standard.

Hell, an entire arc called Last Laugh featured Joker Gas affecting everyone in the DCU, including bricks like Doomsday.

He has antidotes with him, but I'm pretty sure Joker toxin is not something he'd carry around.
