    There seems to be a bit of confusion in the comments regarding this video. Just to clear things up, Wolverine isn't real. He's a fictional character. There is such a thing as an actual wolverine but that's an animal.

      Thank you for saying that.. Back in the 90's (When I use to read the comics) Wolverine's healing factor wasn't as powerful as Deadpool's because of the adamantium. Due to Wolverine's popularity now a days he's able to heal like deadpool and more.

    Wolverine's adamantium bones gives him a weight of 300 lbs instead of his normal 195 lbs. I assume with this he would suffer internal tissue damage due to the adamantium weight in his body. So his regeneration power is working constantly clearing the poison and repairing any tissue damage of his internal structure.

    I never liked the added in weakness because it goes against biology and what we're told about mutants in general. Basically, the more you use your power the stronger it becomes. And Wolverine's healing is so good that it pretty much restores to a pristine condition of what it was formerly and so the power should never weaken or age based on everything we know about aging. It seems that the writer/editor just threw it in just to give him a weakness, whether it made sense or not.

      Well, yes and no, One concept is to see the power like a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it gets, but muscles have limits and people are capable of being much more fit in the their 20's than say their 70's.

    • @Durakken
      @Durakken 7 років тому +20

      Yes, but the problem is that Wolverine should never age beyond his prime because aging is as far as anyone can tell a result of things breaking down causing errors, garbage piling up, etc which if we take Wolverine's power for what it is, this should never happen thus he should never age and as a result should remain at maximum fitness.

      Not necessarily, lets pretend a normal human male at the age of 18 ate nothing but healthy foods, drank nothing but distilled or purified water, and exercised vigorously yet not over doing it, every single day. It is more than possible for this individual to look 18 years of age at 70 years of age. Granted they have never intaken anything bad or detrimental to their health. Drugs, cigarettes, any form of narcotic, over drinking, popping pills, you name it. This phenonominal feat would become a reality. This would also do with living a stress free life. There are many people at the ages of 40, 50 & 60 who still retain the age look and prowess they did in they're early 20's. They are extremely rare, but they are out there.

  • @aaron108
    @aaron108 7 років тому +89

    I think this video is somewhat inaccurate. He pretty much didn't age at all until after he killed all the x-men, and the implication here was that he was no longer using his healing factor and that is what caused it to degrade, and throughout the story old man logan, it seemed to return to an extent. This means, should he keep being active and stressing his healing factor, he pretty much would not age (see romulus). Another thing not mentioned, is Wolverine is constantly fighting Adamantium poisoning. So even though he is one of Marvel's top healers, with arguably the best healing considering speed and consistency, he is doing all this while fighting that sickness. The point being that without the adamantuim removed he heals almost instantly (as seen in comics when Magneto turned him to a pile of sludge after removing the skeleton). He was able to fully reconstruct his body and in one frame, he was hit by a truck, but by the time the truck had passed over him, he was healed. The bottom line is he will never die of aging, likely he would remain the same age as depicted in old man logan as long as he ''exercised'' his factor ( I actually think he would de- age a bit). It was once shown that he was held captive by a person that tested his ability, and one test was allergic to oxygen.. Which he overcame with his factor. It is alot more powerful than is being given credit for here.

      Aaron Darst although I'm not a biologist, I'm pretty sure he would die of old age at some point in the future. I mean he went from a 16 year old kid to a 20 or 30 some year old man over the course of, roughly, 200 years.

    • @koncan5
      @koncan5 7 років тому +8

      Is it possible he aged normally until he reached a 'prime' age, after which a normal person's body would begin to degrade? Instead of aging visibly, his body would heal any degradation faster than it would appear. Old Man Logan is a result of his healing factor having been lessened at some point, so much so that he is no longer healing faster than the normal aging process.

    • @Balloushop13

    • @aaron108
      @aaron108 7 років тому +18

      If you read the old man logan story, you will see that at the beginning, his healing is slow (from non-use). This is shown when the hulk offspring beat him up, and it takes a few days to heal.... But by the end, he is eaten by the hulk, reassembles himself in what I can only assume is a vat of acid in hulk's stomach and tears out in less than a few hours, this shows that his healing factor's effectiveness is affected by amount of use it gets, along with need. As far as backing this up with science, its a comic, science is blurry at best, we are talking about a guy who kept himself alive once by eating strips of his own flesh and then having it grow back-----His lack of fighting is what caused the slow.

    • @aaron108
      @aaron108 7 років тому +10

      There is a long history to Logan's line, this includes wildchild, logan, and sabretooth to name a few... Oh, and romulus, the guy who is basically wolverine without the claws and is at least several thousand years old. Funny thing about him, is at the end of that Arc, it was shown romulus actually wished he was as good as wolverine, and that wolverine was the pinnacle of that line. Also, if you read that arc, it stands to reason, in Wolverine's later years, meaning after a millenia or so he would develop new powers and abilities.If you read the old man logan story, you will see that at the beginning, his healing is slow (from non-use).

    @BrotherhoodsCreed 7 років тому +102

    Hey Rob, I was wondering if you'd be willing to a similar video on spideys spider sense. How you think it functions in the MCU and how it's changed and its interpretations. In the early days, he used to use it be able to locate all kinds of dangers, could warn him of a very specific danger, and could even pinpoint villains with it. Sometimes it's just quick second warning. And in the ultimate universe it was just a general warning for danger and was never very specific. I hear that Miles' is a bit different and that it's like precognition.

    • @DXCZouk
      @DXCZouk 7 років тому

      It's intensity of buzzing in a direction which triggers early. I like to think of it like sound, where sometimes the sound is general and sometimes it's obvious; you can pinpoint it based on proximity and volume.

    • @BrotherhoodsCreed
      @BrotherhoodsCreed 7 років тому +4

      DXCZouk that's a great way to think of it. But it seems more analogous to the ultimate Peter's spider sense. In the 616 comics though, it's just been a whole bunch of different things. One of the craziest examples is that when a person being saved by superior spider man, I think it was, was preparing himself for their death, Superior spidey reassured him that even though they were in immediate danger, his spider sense wasn't blaring. Because somehow, it seemed to have known that the ff was going to save them. Like it foretold the future. And in another story, spider man states his spider sense only senses danger pertaining to himeslef specifically, yet there have been multiple instances where he senses danger imminent upon someone else. And in like issue 2 or something when he fights vulture, even though vulture isn't even attacking him or even aware of him in someway, Peter relies on his spider sense to lock on and tingle him towards the direction of the vulture. So not only could it just be targeted or whatever, it also could specifically tell Peter if it was the vulture, or in the case of the next issue, if it was like electrical impulses from electronic equipment in the next room he hadn't seen. not only that but that level of his spider sense seemed to have went away. obviously for story telling reasons but still. and why does it not warn him of his cartridges being empty? It just seems like a great topic to delve into since it's such a random and unEXPLAINABLE power and topic, that I'd love to see Rob tackle.

    • @DXCZouk
      @DXCZouk 7 років тому +5

      It definitely senses the immediate future. Writers are inconsistent with it and anyone could make up an origin... I guess I prefer to think of it as some subconcious clairvoyant ability. Along with sound, another good example would be if they made vibration controllers for a Spidey game simulate the Spider Sense. The Vulture flies behind you. You don't hear him. You don't see him. The controller buzzes right before he attacks you. Or the Chameleon escapes into a crowd. The controller buzzes towards the crowd. You get closer, and narrow it down. Mysterio in a smoke screen. Why haven't they done this already?

    "You can't just take a knife and chop his head off"
    Yes...yes you can. That's the thing everyone keeps forgetting about with Wolverine. His BONES are made of adamantium, not the connective tissue between them. A strong person, not even mutant strong, but just like bodybuilder strong, could snap his neck. Someone like The Hulk, Juggernaut, Strong Guy, The Thing, or hell even Spiderman can punch Wolverine's head clean off of his shoulders. I'd imagine that his cartilage and other connective tissues are a bit tougher than a normal human's, but they're still there. His neck isn't fused. You don't even need some Macguffin blade to do it, either. You can take just a normal run of the mill kitchen knife that's been sharpened well enough and cut the Canuck's head off...if he can't kill you in the process, at least. You can break his limbs by hyperextending the joints. You don't have to break the bones.

      Derek Skinner So, it seems ppl only use "real world physics" when it's only a negative for Logan considering your theory! Wolverine has never had 'his head punched off" by the likes of Hulk or anyone else you throw into the mix! In fact, I seen an actual robot (idk what it was) try too cut his head off (full neck exposed) an it was an epic fail when the blade connected!! The battle took place in a forest setting. Maybe someone can actually give the 411 on the attacker. It had a huge tri barrel gun arm that put huge holes in Logan but that healing factor is "beastmode!" The day they lop off wolverine's head is the day Superman suffocates in the void of space, an Deadpool's cancer actually kills him for being quiet! No, your not cutting off his head! Just like his body shouldn't be getting poisoned by the Adamantium, considering its unbreakable grade an molecular make up. But that would be me adding real world physics to him an that's a no go. Adamantium poison his body? Then Adamantium poisons his body!

    I humbly request, Gambit's Powers Explained. Most comics nowdays write Gambit's powers off as "explosive projectiles" which makes people think his powers are useless in most situations and dumb to have as a master thief. There is a lot of misconception about his powers among the community. Nowdays, you ask someone about Gambits powers and they say "oh the guy who can only throw explosive cards?" This makes him seem like a shallow character that can only do one thing. Where as in other (earlier)comics, and more accurately in the marvel database and his wiki, his powers are referred to as Bio-Kinetic Energy Manipulation which really expands on what his powers really are and what he can actually do. For example tapping into the potential energy objects (not just cards and can be organic as well as shown in multiple issues which the writers seem to forget), enhanced/quickened reflexes (blocking bullets shot by Forge), super agility (on par with daredevil), amplifying attacks (charging his bo staff and leveling a house), telepathic resistance, delicate deconstruction of materials he charges windows ect. Most people just don't know these days, and how he has been written recently makes him seem like a very shallow character that is a one trick pony with his cards. There is a reason Gambit is feared and also the King of Thieves. Just think it might make a decent video. Thanks a bunch. Really like your content and also the "Who is Gambit" video you did.

    • @SFtheGreat
      @SFtheGreat 7 років тому +4

      He cannot regrow a limb for sure, he needs to have it reattached for both parts to integrate. Though when most of the body is lost the remaining fragments will grow it back, but what happens when there are separate pieces remains a mystery, for example there exist his blood and tissue samples in storages, so would they start to grow new body if all cells from the otiginal were atomized? He was covered in adamantion and suffocated, but the samples did not activate, though he can be cloned from them, maybe because the body is in dormant hibernation awaiting being taken out of the metal and the access to oxygen to awake. Unlike Deadpool, whose healing factor is faster to the point of creating new cells faster that normal cells die, thankfully his cancer can keep up with killing the cells. Deadpool can regrow lost limbs, head, body, etc. Now to the question how do the cells know when to recreate, maybe it has something to do with presence of the brain, because there was an arc where all his limbs lost over time were gathered in one place and they fused toegther to create an "evil twin", so when decapitated the body might grow another head and be the main one and the head would just hibernate itself rather than grow another body.
      As for nutritients, it's the comic world conveniance not to explain it, how else the few cells could regrow entire body without supply of atoms...

    Actually, you _can_ cut Wolverine's head off, because there's no Adamantium on his Cervical Vertebrae. When the scientists who coated his bones with Adamantium did it, they left it off those vertebrae, because it would've fused the bones together, and he wouldn't be able to turn his head. There's even an old comic where Charles Xavier is sitting in front of a computer screen with Woverine's body & skeleton showing in x-ray form, and there's a big circle around that part of his body, because that's the only place _on_ Wolverine's skeleton where there's no Adamantium. The only problem is, even if you manage to decapitate Wolverine, if you don't destroy his brain, you can just put his head back on his body, and it'll begin to heal.

      In fact it wouldn't be any harder to pull Logan's arms off than a normal person, nor rip him in half along his spine or anything else. Our bodies aren't held together by bone but by connective tissues. That's why skeletons used for study have to be wired together or they'd just fall into a pile on the floor. It doesn't really matter what you'd coat them with your bones are still just individual objects in your body held together by ligaments.

    A BIG problem of turning off Logans healing factor is he would get metalosis poisoning from the overload of adamantium in his body that his healing factor actually staved off so he would do probably in a year or less in guessing his organs would soon just start shutting down one after the next anemia strokes etc.

    After wolverine had his admanantium removed by Magneto they should have just re-laced his claws instead of his entire skeleton. That way he would still have the faster healing factor that he has without the admantanium skeleton, but also have the claws which would allow him to cut through anything.

  • @alanrussette2819
    @alanrussette2819 7 років тому +29

    Have they ever addressed why/how Wolverine heals from brain trauma. If his healing factor is merely a multiplier of a normal human's ability to heal, then he shouldn't be able to recover from multiple concussions (which he would definitely received over the years). By all rights, he should be a vegetable, albeit a vegetable in peak physical condition.

    • @tylerjaynes822
      @tylerjaynes822 7 років тому

    • @alanrussette2819
      @alanrussette2819 7 років тому +2

      That's just it. People's brains recover from trauma by ADAPTING, not by healing. The brain doesn't heal. It essentially creates different pathways since the original ones are effectively destroyed. Considering the number of battles he's fought through, how much healthy matter would be available to be rewired?

    • @Harie0
      @Harie0 7 років тому +7

      I don't think they've ever really gone over brain trauma. But the whole amnesia sort've explains that he can't recover from everything perfectly. I don't think he'd ever be a vegetable. His healing factor would help him recover from it though he may not be the same. Highly similar and practically the same, but he would recover. He's been able to recover from many things no one else could.

    • @alanrussette2819
      @alanrussette2819 7 років тому

      I think the amnesia is a good place to start. When I think of how many times he's fought superhumanly strong characters, I can't help but think that his brain would essentially have been turned to mush. One solid punch to the face from the Hulk is all it would take, really. I also vaguely recall a fight during the Spider-Man vs Wolverine stand-alone where Spider-Man is repeatedly cracking Logan across the face. Spidey isn't a slouch by any means. That fight should have been good for pretty significant brain trauma.

    If he is aging at a rate of 15:1, Logan would look like someone in the mid 20's. Now given that with the addition of adamantium to his skeleton may cause the healing factor to continuosly heal him from poisoning, this may cause him to age a bit more than if there were no adamantium coating. We know as he gets older his healing gets weaker and his aging may start to be at a quicker rate.

    You should be able to cut off Wolverine's head with a precision strike. His bones might be laced with Adamantium, but in order for him to move, his bones will still have to be held together by cartilage, like the cartilage in between his vertebral discs.

  • @Marcara081
    @Marcara081 7 років тому +17

    Okay look, bones aren't fused together - especially in the neck. If they were fused (especially through adamantium) then Logan couldn't move. So you can cut Logan's head off easy peezy. Hell, you could knock it off by hitting him in the right spot with a truck.

      @jmulchrone1 7 років тому

      Cutting through flesh isn't easy, It can be pretty tough and elastic. You would have to put a lot of force behind a sword to cut off a limb or behead someone, if the blade were to hit a vertebra (say you went from the back execution style) his healing factor would likely be stopped but all you would have managed would be giving him a little scratch and he wouldn't be likely to give you another swing at it. So yeah I'd say possible but very unlikely. As for joints like the shoulder or elbow they are interlocking so it's not really possible to cut them apart.

      @CBrown 7 років тому +1

      Some Guy Maybe but that's assuming someone is strong enough to cut through the Hulk. The blade has the ability to shut down the healing factor but I don't think it has magical properties to cut through just anything and bullets and shit bounce off the Hulk so unless that blade is also sharp enough to penetrate him, you'd need someone incredibly strong to cut him with it. Otherwise he'd still survive a fight long enough for its effects to wear off from a simple flesh wound.

    • @thatoneguy8604
      @thatoneguy8604 7 років тому

      Son Goku It'll still cut since it is flesh regardless, his claws can cut through almost all metal. Like 99.98 percent all metal. But the Muramasa blade stops any healing factor I assume, so it should be able to stop Hulk's healing factor as well.

      i think it also depend on how many injury he got during the time, I just imagine cell regeneration is like a bank. wolverine just got 10-15 times more cells in the bank than normal ppl, if he keep getting injure then he is going to use the cells faster. This is actually the reason why war veteran tend to have more body problem at old ages, because they are kind of using up their future cells when they recover from wound at a younger age. Of course having a healthy diet and life style increase your life expectancy . But I don't see wolverine being the kind of healthy guy, if anything he is more like abusing his ability by doing a lot of things that wear the body.

    The film explanation (Logan) worked pretty well for those who haven't read through fifty years of comics that gradually explained how his healing factor worked in a piecemeal fashion.
    The adamantium in his body was slowly poisoning him resulting in the gradual reduction of his healing ability which previously counteracted the natural effects of aging. He was turned into Weapon-X in the 80s (Return of the Jedi from 1983 is in theaters during Age of Apocalypse), Logan takes place in 2029, which would be about 50 years of exposure to adamantium, slowly being poisoned.
    In Logan, he looks to be a man in his 50s (a very rough 50s, due to all the punishment taken over the years) despite being about 197 (James Howlett was born in 1832), making the aging ratio about 1:4 compared to an ordinary human. Clairmont's 1:10/1:15 ratio would mean Logan would live to be 800-1,200 years old which pushes the willing suspension of disbelief, even for Wolverine. With a 1:4 ratio, Logan would have naturally died in his 320s, which is still hard to fathom.

    near as I can tell, wolverine was born some time in the mid to late 1800s, and the new movie, Logan, is set around the year 2030, which means that he would be about 300 years old (give or take). Logan doesn't really explain much about what happened, but from the looks of it, there was some sort of man made virus that was created to eliminate mutants. my guess is that, in addition to his healing factor simply slowing due to age, wolverine also grew old due to being on the run and hiding away for many years. my theory is that back in wolverines X-Men days, all his battles and the injuries he sustained, helped keep his healing factor active and extended his life, but when wolverine went into hiding after humans decided they were tired of mutants, his healing factor slowed down A LOT. sure his life would still be extended simply because he heals faster than normal, and cells in the body need to be replaced constantly, but that simply wasn't enough to keep him going for much longer. also: at the end of Logan, wolverine mentions something about someone "putting poison inside him". my guess is that he is either reffering to the man made virus, or perhaps the adamantium inside his body was slowly poisoning him. either way: his slowed healing factor due to age, and not being very active, combined with a virus/adamantium poisoning inside his body was essentially his undoing

    His healing factor seemed to come back once he got super pissed, seeings how he was eaten by the Hulk, and DESTROYED him like he was nothing. ALL of his wounds healed and he was almost on par with his younger self.
    I feel Logan's domestic life compounded with his guilt for murderering the X-Men put his body into a sense of shock that shut down his healing factor, much like his rage turned it back on.
