Joe Quesada Has Crossed The Line With The Smoking Ban

[Doc Destruction]

Here's the hysterical part - smoking ISN'T BAD for Logan. He cannot get cancer in the first place.

So, WHY would he quit at all?

 

[cerealkiller182]

Theoretically, it would slow him down though since his healing factor would be always working, right?

I bet it would only be a fraction different.

THAT's my biggest complaint. Aside from forcing the anti-tobacco stuff down our throats, it makes absolutely no sense given the context.

One of the defining characteristics of cancer is a rapid growth of cells (tumor). Since Logan's healing factor seems to function by the same mechanism, how do you know that he is immune to it? It could be that he's just never gotten it, and if he does, it will progress even faster than normal because of his "healing factor?"

Cuz Cancer hasn't killed Deadpool.

 

[iloveclones]

I don't know anything about Deadpool, but I was thinking that when I was writing that. Don't blame me that Marvel twists science until it screams.

When you typed "Marvel," you meant "superhero comics in general," right?

Do you honestly believe Marvel would ever give Wolverine cancer?

 

[Anubis]

If they really wanted to push that whole "Ciggys is bad" angle, they would. You could even say it effects his healing factor and they could depower him back to his pre 90's level.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

But they don't want to depower him back to his pre-90s level. The fanboys would have a fit if Wolverine suddenly couldn't regenerate from a single cell anymore.

Well, I was commenting on a Marvel character.

Do you honestly believe that I believe that?

I personally would love it

Uh...They did depower him back to his pre-90's levels.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Where was this? He still seems even more immortal than the guys who are supposed to be immortal to me, although I've consciously limited my exposure to him for years now.

 

[Anubis]

Eh, I wouldn't care, and i'd like to think i'm more important to please than Wolverine fanboys.

Denny Crane.

 

[cerealkiller182]

I dont remember them depowering him but i remember them explaining his overpowered healing factor recently in X-Men Origins or maybe his solo

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Denny Crane.

Good point.

In the storyarc before Get Mystique. It was a ****ed up explanation, but the end result (depowering Logan) made it well worth it.

Was that the Angel of Death stuff where it was easier for his body to regenerate but harder for his soul to come back from the dead or something like that?

It didn't really seem to make much difference in "Get Mystique." He got blown up a couple times in that arc, didn't he?

Yeah, and he had to take some time to heal.

Something like that. It was super ******ed. Something about him having to fight Death everytime he "died" in order to come back. But in the end, he finally killed Death, but it took a good chunk out of his healing factor, so it's back to the way it used to be.

 

[Anubis]

And yet, it isn't.

 

[Hans]

Well, like everything in comics these days, it depends on the writer that comes after.
