Nice try, but that is obviously a duct-tape approach by Clarement to cover Penn and Kinberg's asses because they screwed up and he knew it. I want to hear Penn and Kinberg's explanation for this. Oh wait, they don't have one. And we all know it's silly. Look at the above post by Bishop2. Wolverine surviving an atomic bomb, ALL hes flesh being burned off. How do you explain that? Was Jean there to loan him some of her amazing powers to help him heal too?
Let's be clear on something. Jean is a TK wielder and telepath. Nothing about her abilities would make it possible for her to "loan" her powers to make another mutant stronger. I'm sorry but it doesn't work that way. The writers establish her as such, and end up contradicting themselves in the movie. She is not a battery that another mutant can plug into. She can heal wounds, she can read or control minds, and she can move objects around (both large objects and molecular-level objects now), but as such there is nothing about her powers that would give her the ability to make another mutant's powers stronger.
This is what ticks me off. We realize that this is out of character and an abuse of Wolverine's abilities. Just like we recognize that our other favorite characters have their flaws and limitations. But in the case of Wolverine, some people just use this as evidence to show how cool he is. The more impossible things he survives, the more that is treated as an example of how awsome the character is. And tha't's just wrong. People accused me of unfairly bringing up Storm's abilities to that of the Phoenix. Well, these people are certainly unfairly bringing up Wolverine's abilities to that of God.
That comic scene above and the battle in X3 is a perfect real-life illustration when you play a game and punch in the cheat code to make your character invulnerable
I only mention this here because, man, I'm really getting tired of how they oversell that little Canadian munchkin...
