The reason Wolverine's hand didn't grow back was because at that point of time in comics his healing factor was no where near a strong as it is portrayed now. In the original Marvel handbooks it stated that if he got shot it would take him up to an hour to fully recover as long as it didn't hit any major organs. Over time and different writers they started making it stronger and stronger.
@@Rob_-_ I don't think that would have been the case, because Cyclopes' optic blast aren't heat based, they're suppose to be beams of concussive force. Also, I don't think adamantium can be melted after it's formed and stabilized. Even the Human Torch's' hottest nova flame can't melt it. Once it's formed the only way to damage it is if you affect it on the molecular level.
nope he choose to cover his hand up with that metal stuf so it couldnt grow back as a reminder to what cyclops did,if he removed that metal arm thing his hand would fully grow back. personaly i think its stupid because he chooses to fight with a handicap on purpose.
I don’t remember that being stated in the original series, maybe it was in later stories or some kind of recon, but then again, I’m not gonna go back and read them.
Yeah idk why they did that in the 90’s! Haha…that’s when that hairstyle became a criteria for prejudice on a certain group of people , I’ll never forget “super man returns” 😂 even a s a kid, I was like “looks wack. Don’t like it, don’t kno if story bad or good cuz hair iz distracting”
It was a good and powerful trademark...the second movie I remember him having a real hammerhead infused style that's less akin to wolverine, but be honest ridiculous or not that head of hair is there to stay even after Wolverine. 😅
fact!! The Best was the beloved John Byrne Brown & lighter brown suit. That suit is just classy. All that's missing is his amazing Xforce black & grey one... ~~I always wondered the story behind the one with crucified Wolverine.. i assume it was Days of future past'ist or "Extinction agenda" from 90's... DO you know bro? Anywasy Age of APoc cameo was EPIC! I love that he knew who deadpool was and instantly beat his ass.. EDIT= I would watch a whole movie of him just doing 5 minute cameos to all worlds. ~A cool one was WOlverine in Dark Ages. sad WOlvie ending but still a dope world.
He knew the claws were there because when the fought, Weapon X had that hand. It was Cameron hodge of the Reavers that didn't know there were claws still in there, amigo.
That wouldn't be a smart idea. That would be Disney money and that comes with so many stipulations that it borders on selling your soul to the devil. Well, you would probably get a better deal from the devil itself. You could kiss Robs opinions goodbye...
Age of apocalypse was easily my favorite story arc in comics. I still have the foil covered comics with the crazy art, just great work all around. It was so fun to see a different timeline where different people lived, turned good or evil, and crazy desperate world
Please more Age of Apocalypse stuff! Along with Spider-Man 2099 it was one of my favorite stories/alt universes as a kid. Still is to this day! Hoping to one day collect a good amount of those comics myself! Cheers
Long time viewer here, big fan of you covering these older stories. if I may be so bold, I think it will be good for you, rob, as it seems like the modern stuff has been taking a toll on you. You sound much happier and genuine in this video, as well as the nightfall video from earlier this week. Anyhow, keep up the good work, keep the spirit strong, and remember to take of yourself. Thank you for your hard work
Great video buddy. Keep them up. I don’t care how you doing. I remember reading all these when they first came out. I still have all my copies. Love the recap !!!👍👍thanks a lot.
@daelenevans2934 Hey man, i don't disagree. I'm just saying it's hard to write a good story when the mc can literally shatter the multiverse with an accidental sneeze
More AoA! I truly believe it's the best of all X-men stories in the (one-shot/what if?) style that still managed to affect the main timeline. The art was amazing. The stories and character changes were brilliant. It's the only comic series I physically own in the gold-top embossed covers.
This is one of my favorite storylines from 90s X-Men. The last battle where everything goes to hell and people are jumping ship is great. Loved the fool cover for the last one too.
When dont we want more? I would love to see the full story arc explained by you. Even if i have read it myself. Oh 1 thing you did not cover but we saw at the end of this video. Logan still has the claws in the stump and uses them near the end of the story.
His hand didn't regrow because back then, Wolverine's healing factor was just that...a healing factor. He wasn't Perfect Cell. It was only in the early 2000's and onward that Wolverine could regrow his body after a nuclear blast, or regrow organs.
Dude I’ve been waiting for rob to cover age of apocalypse for a long time. I hope he also covers the part where wolverines x- force goes to age of apocalypse
So disappointing that the book did not show it. That got me triggered when Rob mentioned that it doesn't show how Wolverine lost his hand and Cyclops lost his eye. 😠
Man. I would absolutely love for you to do the entire AoA arc. This was one of my first full event events I collected when I was young. This and Maximum Carnage.
Great video rob! I know you covered age of apocalypse but i don't think you ever covered the continuation of that universe that comes after. Would you be able to do that?
Age of Apocalypse is still one of the best storylines X-Men has ever had. It was something really different when it happened, it turned into something really special
I Recall Wolverine wearing the Cap over his hand as a reminder of his battle with Cyclops saying I took his Eye and He had nothing to show for that fight cause his hand would simply grow back. It was in one of the back story's and I cant remember which book it was in. There was way to many AOA storylines around this time but it is stated as such in one of them. He said something like a Hand for and Eye in play with and eye for an eye
I freaking loved the AoA so much, its one of my favorite story lines, and I never knew why it got so much hate for many years. I still have the entire saga from alpha to omega and each 4 volume that unfolded to reach omega. I freaking scream Age of Apocalypse when Weapon X showed up in the deadpool movie!
Loved this miniseries. The fight between Wolvie and Cyke, was awesome. But, Logan, willfully capping off his hand, so it wouldn't grow back was pretty stupid.
I have this whole series of comics, the legion ones leading to it and the alpha/omega special covers. The last few panels where Magneto fights Apocolypse are super cool.
I have these books but I forgot all about how this story came to be. I also didn't recognize Age of Apocalypse Wolverine in the Deadpool movie and enjoyed reading them on screen here
I've still have the old Gold Foil trades of the AoA stories. There was something about the original AoA run that is nostalgically fantastic. Peak 90s X-Men. But every AoA story after 1996 suuuuuucks.
I Have a answer that makes sense on why he doesn't grow his hand back. When Cyclops melted his hand, the adamantium on his bones fused together and prevented him from healing it, since the amputated hand is coated in adamantium.
If i recall at the time Age of apocalypse was done before Magneto removed the adamantium from prime Wolverine so it wasn't yet established he would regrow he hand but normal bone, as well as in some panels after scott took his hand before the stump it was depected that his wound was still glowing or affected by the optic blast, so the adamantium cap help cope with that, but back then we didnt look that deep into it just knowing it connects him and scott in a cool way
Always thought Cyclops' blast just destroyed Wolverine's hand on some cellular level that his body just assumes there was nothing there in the first place and thus the stump.
Nice dystopian story right there and they were right to not give further explanation/illustration for the fight between Logan and Scott, since there are some logical holes there: 1) This Wolverine wouldn't stop in getting one eye from Cyclops 2) The optic blasts shouldn't be able to mutilate an adamantium skeleton 3) Hand growing up/healing as mentioned.. That being said, unfortunately that series was 3 levels above anything that includes X-Men the last 3 years...proceed
I had all of the AOA comics. This, alpha, omega and all the #1's for each sub group. Never found xman #1 so got the book of the series. One w the gold cover. Age is by far my favorite story
My theory for where his hand went is another world/universe. Only thinking about this since Cyclops’s beam comes from elsewhere so could be he teleported his hand.
The reason Wolverine's hand didn't grow back was because at that point of time in comics his healing factor was no where near a strong as it is portrayed now. In the original Marvel handbooks it stated that if he got shot it would take him up to an hour to fully recover as long as it didn't hit any major organs. Over time and different writers they started making it stronger and stronger.
I always thought it didn't grow back because the adamantium melted over and cauterized the wound.
@@Rob_-_ I don't think that would have been the case, because Cyclopes' optic blast aren't heat based, they're suppose to be beams of concussive force.

@@chrisc4216 Damn, my whole life is a lie! Lol, I'm 35 now and have thought that for years!!
I love how in the movie they showed how ridiculous Logan’s hair was in the 90s
80s hair was BIG but the 90s was just unnecessary lol
Yeah idk why they did that in the 90’s! Haha…that’s when that hairstyle became a criteria for prejudice on a certain group of people , I’ll never forget “super man returns” 😂 even a s a kid, I was like “looks wack. Don’t like it, don’t kno if story bad or good cuz hair iz distracting”
It was epic!
It was a good and powerful trademark...the second movie I remember him having a real hammerhead infused style that's less akin to wolverine, but be honest ridiculous or not that head of hair is there to stay even after Wolverine. 😅
I think you mean, “ridiculously awesome.”
This version making a cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine had me FLIPPING!!!! "OMG, AGE OF APOCALYPSE... DOPE!!!"
ME TOOOOOO 💪🏽💪🏽😂😂
I literally hopped in my seat trying to show my excitement to my wife.
fact!!
The Best was the beloved John Byrne Brown & lighter brown suit. That suit is just classy.
All that's missing is his amazing Xforce black & grey one...
~~I always wondered the story behind the one with crucified Wolverine..
i assume it was Days of future past'ist or "Extinction agenda" from 90's...
DO you know bro?
Anywasy Age of APoc cameo was EPIC!
I love that he knew who deadpool was and instantly beat his ass..
EDIT= I would watch a whole movie of him just doing 5 minute cameos to all worlds.
~A cool one was WOlverine in Dark Ages. sad WOlvie ending but still a dope world.
The Age of the Apocalypse is probably one of the best X-Men runs if not one of Marvel's best runs in the 90's.
I loved Age of Apocalypse. Was my favorite series when I was a kid.
Still my favorite X-men arch
@@juggz143
Still my fav also
I still have them hiding somewhere in my attic (i hope)
@@earplug7940 Same. I still have the collection minus a few issues
Thst cartoon series was the best. Storyline were awesome.
Please keep covering all of age of Apocalypse!!
When Wolvie fought Cycke for the last time and Cycke assumed Wolvie had no claws in that arm - THAT was amazing. 😎😎😎
That is exactly why Wolverine capped off his hand. It's the hidden weapon no one is expecting.
He knew the claws were there because when the fought, Weapon X had that hand. It was Cameron hodge of the Reavers that didn't know there were claws still in there, amigo.
I'm lost. What are y'all talking about.
@@TotalDec Gotta read Factor X #1-4
Beautiful panel!
Your videos are getting me through my break up! Thank you.
Its crazy to think how old this story is.
Deadpool: "Someone give Logan a hand!"
✋✋✋✋👏👏👏👏👏
✋✋✋✋👏👏👏👏👏
Knee slapper
That was a good one😂
I really love your explanations of everything! Great video!
I'm always a sucker for AoA content. This is the story line that got me into Comics back in the 90's.
Legion quest and age of apocalypse was my fav arc ever!!!!
Man, you are killing these videos, lately! With all the news in comics and the MCU on front page, @marvel should just sponsor you atp
That wouldn't be a smart idea. That would be Disney money and that comes with so many stipulations that it borders on selling your soul to the devil. Well, you would probably get a better deal from the devil itself. You could kiss Robs opinions goodbye...
More AOA! Grew up with that run being a big thing. Keep killing it Rob! Such a good channel.
Age of apocalypse was easily my favorite story arc in comics. I still have the foil covered comics with the crazy art, just great work all around. It was so fun to see a different timeline where different people lived, turned good or evil, and crazy desperate world
4:27 Rob accidentally said Cyclops took over North America lol
I read your comment as he said it
@@robertgriggs4534 damn The boy scout finaly became a man
Well yes of course more , I collected the entirety of the age of apocalypse storyline , man the ending!
Seeing Age Of Apocalypse Wolverine again after Deadpool And The Wolverine is so sick!🔥⚡️
Please more Age of Apocalypse stuff! Along with Spider-Man 2099 it was one of my favorite stories/alt universes as a kid. Still is to this day!
Hoping to one day collect a good amount of those comics myself! Cheers

This is a great video Rob, it's like another f****** classic homie
Great video buddy. Keep them up. I don’t care how you doing. I remember reading all these when they first came out. I still have all my copies. Love the recap !!!👍👍thanks a lot.
AoA is such an awesome story!! Hope you cover more. I still have a gold foil AoA Weapon X in my collection
Great video!!!
With Deadpool & Wolverine released; you should do videos connected to each variant
100% agree
There are so much iconic variants!! I am very interested to see their comic origins!!!!
A Complete Nate Grey story would rock!!!!
Sadly he's just so OP thst it's hard to really wrote him
@@wintertrooper7918The more power the better he, Franklin Richards, and Legion can have a story together for all I care😎👍🏽😏
@daelenevans2934 Hey man, i don't disagree. I'm just saying it's hard to write a good story when the mc can literally shatter the multiverse with an accidental sneeze
Thank you Rob been wondering this since the movie
Age of Apocalypse is one of my favorite Marvel story arcs. I look forward to more videos about this era.
keep going Rob!! this is awesome stuff man.
Another Comic book BANGER by Rob!!!
When I was a kid when this came out I spent a lot of time in the hospital and this series always made me happy during those times
You da best Rob!
Just keep it up you're doing a great job
More AoA!
I truly believe it's the best of all X-men stories in the (one-shot/what if?) style that still managed to affect the main timeline.
The art was amazing.
The stories and character changes were brilliant.
It's the only comic series I physically own in the gold-top embossed covers.
90s Wolverine hair was amazing. In live action they made him shaggy but don’t hate on the 90s hair because they didn’t do it justice in the movie
This is one of my favorite storylines from 90s X-Men. The last battle where everything goes to hell and people are jumping ship is great. Loved the fool cover for the last one too.
Rob always knows what I wana see next man wild!
I collected this whole arc as a kid as it came out. I was so obsessed with it at the time
Do more by team this series of comics was one of my favorites from the 90’s
7:57 Monk Juggernaut looks awesome. Could see them even doing an Iron Fist variant of that.
I literally just came across a short and got really interested in the story, and then you come out with this video an hour ago😂❤
Always want more x men from you sir.
Beyond omega level: The Comicstorian
Also the Divine Creator
More please this was a huge part of my childhood
What a bummer.
*Hey, Rob, maybe a video focusing on ; ‘off-panel’ references or ‘throw away lines’.
The 'Age of Apocalypse' outfits were my favorite ones to use in X-Men Legends 2: Rise of Apocalypse. They all looked so cool.
Would you consider doing a vampire hunter D video 😮❤
Woot Woot I see Rob I CLICK AND WATCH !
When dont we want more? I would love to see the full story arc explained by you. Even if i have read it myself. Oh 1 thing you did not cover but we saw at the end of this video. Logan still has the claws in the stump and uses them near the end of the story.
Best Variation in the new movie.. loved the big hair.. have off Escape From New York vibes..
Do them all! I love it. Also maybe in future 2099 explain

Yup. Need more my dawg...lots more..
Let's go. I need more of this story.
Do moree rob!! Do moreeeeeee plsssss lol
was genuinely surprised how many people have not read "age of apocalypse" it's so great! def recommend to ones who haven't
Loved the Age of Apocalypse storyline!
Thank you for doing this!!!!!!!!!
Age of Apocalypse is still one of the best storylines X-Men has ever had. It was something really different when it happened, it turned into something really special

*WHY WOLVERINES HAND NEVER GREW BACK*
Thank you
Cuz
It only heals wounds, not cut off limbs.
the metal cap
Pre-2000 Wolverine would actually take damage.
Please do...cover the entire Age of Apocalypse 🙏
Is one of my favorite stories ❤
Please keep covering Age of Apocalypse!
Yes please finish the story. Loved it when it came out
I LOVE comics and figures!!!
Loved this miniseries. The fight between Wolvie and Cyke, was awesome. But, Logan, willfully capping off his hand, so it wouldn't grow back was pretty stupid.
I own all of these comics. I read them in the original run. Loved AoA
I have this whole series of comics, the legion ones leading to it and the alpha/omega special covers. The last few panels where Magneto fights Apocolypse are super cool.
That artwork is so iconic to that era
Could you cover Gambit and the Externals?
It's never shown. Got it. Thank you for having the decency to do a guilty chuckle about it at least.
I have these books but I forgot all about how this story came to be. I also didn't recognize Age of Apocalypse Wolverine in the Deadpool movie
and enjoyed reading them on screen here
Definitely need more, nice story.
I've still have the old Gold Foil trades of the AoA stories. There was something about the original AoA run that is nostalgically fantastic. Peak 90s X-Men.

I Have a answer that makes sense on why he doesn't grow his hand back.
When Cyclops melted his hand, the adamantium on his bones fused together and prevented him from healing it, since the amputated hand is coated in adamantium.
Cyclops fan here and I'm glad they gave my boy his dues finally.
If i recall at the time Age of apocalypse was done before Magneto removed the adamantium from prime Wolverine so it wasn't yet established he would regrow he hand but normal bone, as well as in some panels after scott took his hand before the stump it was depected that his wound was still glowing or affected by the optic blast, so the adamantium cap help cope with that, but back then we didnt look that deep into it just knowing it connects him and scott in a cool way
damn man please do some more videos on this story
More please!!
Always thought Cyclops' blast just destroyed Wolverine's hand on some cellular level that his body just assumes there was nothing there in the first place and thus the stump.
AoA was amazing! Definitely my favourite storyline!
And Generation Next… man… that was the saddest 4 issues I’ve read
Nice dystopian story right there and they were right to not give further explanation/illustration for the fight between Logan and Scott, since there are some logical holes there:
1) This Wolverine wouldn't stop in getting one eye from Cyclops
2) The optic blasts shouldn't be able to mutilate an adamantium skeleton
3) Hand growing up/healing as mentioned..
That being said, unfortunately that series was 3 levels above anything that includes X-Men the last 3 years...proceed
Rob, please cover the whole age of apocalypse!
Just saying in the MCU Henry Cavill as Wolverine, and Alan Ritchson as Sabertooth
Please give us more AOA stories! I loved that series as a teen.
I want the entire story. One team at a time until the end plz
I had all of the AOA comics. This, alpha, omega and all the #1's for each sub group. Never found xman #1 so got the book of the series. One w the gold cover. Age is by far my favorite story
My theory for where his hand went is another world/universe. Only thinking about this since Cyclops’s beam comes from elsewhere so could be he teleported his hand.
I've been searching for that frame since that came out.

Do the entire AOA storyline!
Like someone else said, do all the stories of AOA!
