Durability for me, I don't like pain
Originally posted by -Pr-I don't know if that automatically follows. I never got the impression that Wolverine, eg, developed higher and higher pain tolerances. I think, though, one might just get used to hurting, but it still hurts. You just b1tch less about it.
Healing factor would also allow you to build up a better tolerance of pain, which is good too.
Also, if I jump off a tall building, say, with durability I can just get up and start running. With a HF, you'd have to wait til your broken legs heal, hoping that in the meantime, someone is not inflicting still more damage on you.
The problem with both is that with the durability, you can still get sick, or if injured beyond your power threshold you're screwed.
With the healing factor, you can be hurt past the point of being able to heal, or be killed by something that you might be able to survive if super durable. Wolverine has a frame(adamantium bones) that means his HF gets a free pass of sorts.
But he does have a rather high pain tolerance. He still gets hurt, but he can pretty much ignore/fight through pain at this point no matter how severe it is.
So this is limited durability, ie, limited to macro trauma? Cuz every description of a character's durability I've ever read has always included not just macro toughness, but also greater resistance to diseases, extremes of temperature, etc. Basically, you're just harder to harm, by any means.
That's basically how I'm looking at this: being tougher to harm or damage in any way VS you recover faster from whatever ordinary harm or damage you suffer.
Prevention vs fast recovery, so to speak.
Put it this way
Wolverines Healing factor Vs Supermans Durability
Put them to infornt of a powerful attack powerful enough to harm both, who would survive it with least harm? Well logan would, because he healing factor would bring him back to normal health very quickly, whereas supermans HF is diddly squat compared to logans HF
Healing Factor ftw

With Superman's durability then there is nothing in the REAL universe that can harm you. He survived the core of stars, black holes, supernovas, etc.
With Logan's HF you can die easily. A nuclear bomb will disintegrate you. The only reason Logan can survive is because his skeleton is still in tact (adamantium).
Durability ftw

pretty bad comparison tbh, considering what will hurt logan much easier than it will hurt superman.
