Lots of people on this site wank profusely over certain characters and their healing factor.
I would like to put that to the ultimate test of HF (and perhaps of loyalty).
In this scenario...
Take a being such as Hal Jordan as Parallax, and have him completely decimate his victim.
This is done in three ways:
1) Dismembered into separate body parts, like quartering a chicken, (head, arms, legs, torso, trunk all separated), and separating the parts over ten square miles.
2) Taking it further as the body is separated into 1" x 1" pieces and scattered over the entire Earth.
3) Even farther, victim is completely atomized, and the residual particles are separated across the solar system from Mars to Neptune.
The list of potential victims are as follows:
1) Wolverine
2) Hulk
3) Plastic Man
4) Superman
5) Deadpool
6) Lobo (no cloning)
7) Captain Marvel
8) Martian Manhunter
For scenario 3, does the character have to reform from the atomized remains?
For instance, Man-Thing passes 2 with ease, and would pass 3 if reforming in his swamp counts.
I'd say it still isn't beyond his power to pass 3, just that whenever something like that has occurred in the comics he has just reformed in his swamp.
Wolverine is the only one out of the group that has been burned all the way down to nothing and healed everything back. This happened more than once. Does anyone else have fts like that?
Maestro reformed from atoms but he had to absorb a lot of gamma energies. Also ironically, a rookie GL has had one of the best HF showings out there. Lobo basically rips him apart limb from limb after covering himself with yellow blood after the GL beats him and had him on his mercy. The ring heals him back from that. I remember GLs being actually worth a damn, **** you Johns for ruining GLC.
Deadpool would die if atomized. Lobo can't die too. Cap would die.
Deadpool wouldn't die. Death won't allow him to die, similar to Lobo being barred from every form of afterlife. He'd be in some weird form of existence since he couldn't pull himself back together under his own power, but he wouldn't die since he can't. He might even eventually grow himself back as I believe he's grown back body parts before.
As for Cap, he's healed from some pretty gnarly stuff as well as Adam, and considering the magic at his disposal, it's not a stretch to think he could pull off a God move and eventually reconstitute himself.
deadpool would survive, it would just take a long time for him to regrow. he is barred from death's realms
@kingd DP has grown his head back more than once. last time the hulk punched him, only a part of his legs survived desintegration. he had a brief moment with death (whom he wanted to stay with or thinks he does) but got dragged back as his body reconstituted itself
I think he died when Stryfe killed him in the future. Meh, its Deadpool either way. Who cares about what loony tune stunt he's going to pull next time.
The only thing I've seen cap healing from is when he re-constituted himself from getting turned inside out. Commonly, he doesn't even possesses a HF.
