[Mr. X]

The thing that bothers me most is their length.

 

[Nostremitus]

Thanks for these links. I like science angles on fiction. Subscribed!

No problem, he also does one where he discusses how Cyclops can see despite having beams coming from his eyes.

 

[Mr.Shrugglesツ]

That's what she said.

 

[Fancyarcher]

They're absolutely powerful, and also thanks to some experimenting his claws are much stronger than they might have been previously.

Also, it's fiction.

 

[Teggy]

If Wolverine's body is incinerated, his bones are magnetized so that they fall in exactly the right place so that all the tendons and muscles form back in exactly the right way. Or something.

 

[Hades Hotgun]

Yes, but that was also Ultimate universe.
He's had pretty much all of his tissue incinerated before, lol. I think I remember him regenerating from one drop of blood in an X-Men annual, lol.

I don't remember that being a feat of his healing factor. Unless I'm mistaken, a drop of his blood hit a nearly limitlessly powerful gem that regenerated him.

In that same issue Havok unleashes his power and becomes a living star and Psylocke becomes a metal warrior.

 

[Joel Was Right]

Because they're layered on top of his retractable bone claws that are part of his mutation.

I thought his mutation was the healing?

 

[Wingfan19]

I thought his mutation was the healing?

They retconned his mutation when Magneto ripped his metal out. He had bone claws all along as part of his mutation, which they explained because he already had the feral senses and look.

 

[One Eyed Willy]

It's all 100% make-believe and nothing matters.

 

[caliph95]

I thought his mutation was the healing?

You can have more than one mutation, alot of mutants have more than one because of secondary mutations and to quote tvtropes Required Secondary Powers

 

[Finaika]

It's not made up. Check it out.

Woah, so adamantium actually exists?!

 

[Wingfan19]

If you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you.

 

[BKatastrophe]

Is he more beast than Beast?

They're about the same, but Beast just maintains significantly more control. Higher intellect and he wasn't brainwashed into a murder weapon with some brutal triggers.

Another question for the punch dimension a meta one. What is the story for that explanation why not give him the same explanation as his brother Havok especially since they are both immune to each others powers.

Because Scott and Havok absorb solar radiation, which they both shoot.

Except Scott, who also shoots punch beams from the punch dimension

Which makes no sense considering that Deadpool is based on Wolverine's healing factor, and X-23 is a clone of Wolverine, but whatever. Comic books are bullshit. Wolverine bleeds all over things all the time, and yet he can regenerate his entire body from a single drop of blood.

Deadpool's healing factor is significantly higher because it's merged with his cancer. Or something to that effect.

I think is because his healing factor is always on because of the cancer and they always fix damage from his cancer. Technically without the cancer he would die.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Right. He's kinda overloaded because it's always trying to heal the cancer but the cancer won't go away, thus why he looks like a big tumor.

SCIENCE.

Same thing with Wolverine with his adamantium skeleton?

 

[BKatastrophe]

Same thing with Wolverine with his adamantium skeleton?

Adamantium is poisoning him, so without his healing factor, he dies. It hinders his healing.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Same thing with Wolverine with his adamantium skeleton?

No. Wolvies healing factor is good, but it's not always turned on? Like wade is. The reason Deadpool looks like a pizza is because his healing regeneration won't turn off, so it ends up warping his skin because...it grows mass of skin that shouldn't be there.

Wolvie's healing factor is as strong as the writer will allow him, but it doesn't overheal him like Wades. So technically Wades healing factor is stronger, the downside being how he turned out looking.

Adamantium is poisoning him, so without his healing factor, he dies. It hinders his healing.

I forgot that aspect. Wasn't that retconned in? i dunno. I like Ultimate Xmen.

 

[Freshmaker]

If I understand correctly he has claw naturally that are made of bone and he always had them like claws on a feral animal. The Adamantium seemed to line them to make them the claws we know today.

So would Captain American or someone of similar strength swinging a adamatium katana have the same slicing power? Do Logan's bone structure provide some type of structural advantage?

Even when his Adamantuim was removed, he sliced through a car door with the bone claws.

No. Wolvies healing factor is good, but it's not always turned on? Like wade is. The reason Deadpool looks like a pizza is because his healing regeneration won't turn off, so it ends up warping his skin because...it grows mass of skin that shouldn't be there.

Yeah. Wade's healing factor is basically enhanced cancer. Wolverine's is more orderly in general. Though Wolvie's is always active due to the Adamantuim poisoning so it's actually depressed from where it'd be without the metal skeleton.

 

[Teggy]

Wait, didn't Wolverine kill

Spoiler

himself

during Age of Ultron? I don't remember how that happened.

 

[cpp_is_king]

Yea i mean it's right there in the video

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Oh shit yeah. I remember when Mags removed his Addy, Wolverines healing factor was completely insane. Almost instant regeneration. Bone Wolvie I believe would outheal Wade easily.

 

[Spladam]

You should never bring science and logic into your comic book shit. I mean, the superman movies claim his flying is achieved by jumping.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Knowing the DC universe, that's probably true.

...And he probably farts in order to stay afloat in a spot.

 

[caliph95]

Technically he has bio-electric field (Not a scientists just quoting the wiki) that gives him his powers.
Because comics like over explaining powers at times.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

His claws were forged by the great Masamune.

 

[Finaika]

Wouldn't Superman destroy his toilet everytime he takes a shit?

 

[Nostremitus]

Which makes no sense considering that Deadpool is based on Wolverine's healing factor, and X-23 is a clone of Wolverine, but whatever. Comic books are bullshit. Wolverine bleeds all over things all the time, and yet he can regenerate his entire body from a single drop of blood.

That whole regenerating from a drop of blood thing wasn't technically Wolverine's healing factor. It was (I think) cosmic energy reanimating the blood and forcing it to grow into a clone of Wolverine.

Dead Wolverine's blood landed on the crystal and got powered up with some next level Deus ex Machina...

 

[Professor Beef]

Wouldn't Superman destroy his toilet everytime he takes a shit?

Yes, if one assumes that Superman has no control over his strength.

 

[caliph95]

Yes, if one assumes that Superman has no control over his strength.

Otherwise he would be creating city to country destroying earthquakes every time he walks.

 

[Nostremitus]

Otherwise he would be creating city to country destroying earthquakes every time he walks.

I mean, he killed trillions when he sneezed away a solar system...

Edit: sorry, he flew to a "long-dead universe"

Apparently he can jump between the multiverse at will...

To be fair that is Silver age Superman, who might as well be Supergod, considering he like hundreds of different powers and can destroy a planter by breathing too hard.

 

[BKatastrophe]

I forgot that aspect. Wasn't that retconned in? i dunno. I like Ultimate Xmen.

Probs. Fuck if I know.

Wait, didn't Wolverine kill

Spoiler

himself

during Age of Ultron? I don't remember how that happened.

He went back in time to kill Hank Pym so he could stop Ultron from ever being created. Then he traveled to the future and it was completely different, so he traveled back AGAIN to kill himself to prevent Hank Pym from being killed. Hank then programmed in a special code to keep Ultron from...Ultron...ing.

Age of Ultron was bad.

You should never bring science and logic into your comic book shit. I mean, the superman movies claim his flying is achieved by jumping.

He originally could only jump. Flight was added later on down the line.

His claws were forged by the great Masamune.

Wolverine's son, Daken, actually had one claw on each hand coated with the Muramasa blade, which has the power to wound people with healing factors, since it ignores the healing factor.

 

[Linkstrikesback]

The recent Xmen movies make it seem as though Quicksilver is always perceiving time at hyperspeed.

In which case his perspective of time must be completely fucked up, if he isn't able to "turn off" the speed then i don't understand how he could communicate with anyone.

They try to say that it's the reason he's an asshole, but to be completely honest, if he's just a regular human who operates on a clock that's like 1000 times faster than everyone elses, i don't see how that wouldn't drive him insane.


His power is a curse lol

At least how it's portrayed in the movies, he has to be able to at least reduce the effect on his perception. He'd never ever be able to walk at a normal pace or talk at a speed normal people could understand otherwise.

 

[caliph95]

He can control his speed but can't control his perception. Which is why he is major asshole because he is constantly perceiving everything in slow motion.

 

[DeathyBoy]

I know Johns was trying to infer it was tactile telekinesis But that doesn't explain the speed aspect.

I thought that was Byrne

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Telekinesis

Man Superman is fucked up. Like, I don't know how people like it, if he can do everything.

Now Nuclear Man, he was awesome. He was able to turn off atleast.

Doesn't it effect his own healing?

 

[dead_lighter]

Ok, so all three of these videos are really cool, and I have two new Youtube subs, thanks.

 

[mrklaw]

I just imagine they'd dislocate really easily. Like they'd want to tear themselves out of the top of his hand/arm. For swiping and slashing at things it is really badly positioned for strength. You'd probably want them coming out under your hand

Also why bother with an adamantium skellington if you have healing powers?


Edit: because science video was great - subbed and thanks for the link.

Lol, can't he consider any other plan than killing people ? Like, having a little chat for example ?

 

[DrSlek]

I think it's the Punch Dimension, which is doubly stupid since the most recent Secret Wars

 

[Rymuth]

Fuckin kek

 

[VAD]

Doesn't it effect his own healing?

He had sheaths installed inside his arms to avoid contact with his body.

 

[caliph95]

I love this.

Now we're getting into the stupid territory.
