Comics Time to boycott Wolverine

[Max J Power]

I've never read his solo series but I love him in X-Men.

Wolverine has regenerated from nothing but a skeleton before, granted it was with the aid of an alien gem, but still. it has been done. Besides, after he lost his adamantium, his healing factor went into over drive and he became that beastial piece of crap for a few issues. Perhaps this is just residual from that time. If all else fails...secondary mutation. That seems to provide just about any excuse or new power.

 

[Mad Bull]

Does anyone else even have a healing feat that comes close? The only one that comes to mind is Hulk. Perhaps they were trying to top him...

 

[Arach Knight]

Lobo can regenerate from single drops of blood or atoms. He can also replicate by the same process. However, he is obviously a DC character. It should also be noted, that Lobo was eventually turned into a partial paraody of Wolverine, which is why his healing factor is so monsterous.

Yeah, that's true. I was kinda wondering within the MU, though.

 

[The Hill]

Didn't Wolverine survive a ground zero nuke blast in a Venom comic a while back....with some of his clothes still intact?

 

[DoomJester]

Wolverine is kinda riddiculous. I used to love him as a kid, and I still kinda look to see what he's gonna do, but he can be kinda riddiculous sometimes.

 

[Arach Knight]

I think evey kid loved that character, regardless of which comic company you were loyal to. He represents the epitome of bad ass, bad boy, super heroes. He always had lip service, and never took crap off of anybody. Almost a modern equivalent to Clint Eastwood's "Man With No Name." However, a blitz of marketing saturation, has caused the appeal of the Wolverine character, to wain considerabliy.

Agreed. Funny, though, how that makes him more popular than ever...

 

[Halcohol]

The appeal of Wolverine is only waning with the established fans like us. However, tons of new fans are turning their heads towards X-Men because they know & like Wolverine.

 

[Arach Knight]

That is very true. Otherwise Wolverine wouldn't have three books (Wolverine, Wolverine:Civil War and Wolverine Origin) a Fox solo movie and be on three teams (New Avengers, Astonishing X-Men and Adjectiveless X-Men).

 

[Norkie]

Well I am so glad that I only have to put up with one more issue of the terrible art work (that does look like Ramos traces legos or he studies alot on elephantites I know I spelled it wrong) and I wont even speak the writers name simpily cause I hate him hate him for ruining wolverine for me. Come on #50!

 

[Horhey]

Marvel has screwed up big time with their latest issue of Wolverine.

Wolverine healing from nothing but skeleton?? Not only should Wolverine have died, but the speed he healed was astounding! It only took a couple of panels!!! What the hell???

Seriously, you don't have to look back many issues to find Wolverine being in pain and struggiling after a few stabs. So this is incredibly inconsistant.

It's massively inconsistant with Wolverine's established healing times. It's really idiotic. It now means that Wolverine is pretty much immortal. It shows that not just the writer is an idiot, but also whoever was the editor in charge of this issue. The script should never have been approved!! The writer should be sacked.

Boycott Wolverine.

This issue was explained very well by the writer in the fan letter section of Wolverine #47 which does make alot of sense. Theres also a more detailed explanation in issue #48.

And there is always Wikepedia. See.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolverine_(comics)

In Wolverine, vol3. #43, Wolverine is shown regenerating all of his bodily tissue after being incinerated down to his skeleton. In Excalibur vol. 1 #100, the Xavier Protocols reveal that the removal of adamantium from Wolverine's skeleton increased his healing factor to "incredible levels" and that the only way to kill him is to remove his head from the vicinity of his body.

Gugenheim is not the first or the last writer to have Wolverine healing from such injuries. Chris Claremont was the first and many others followed.

 

[Horhey]

"Could be killed rather easily"? I don't know about that, but there was a time where the villains he fought presented a threat to him. After the Nitro regeneration incident though, what could possibly present itself as a threat to him? The guy was reduced to a skeleton and came back in full form in a matter of seconds. There's no suspense now. There's no "Gee, how's he going to get out of this one?". None of that stuff. Because once you've regenerated from nothing, you're completely invincible.

No, Wolverine can still be killed. His brain tissue has to be destroyed or his head has to be seperated from his body. The writer says that Wolverine's brain was not destroyed by Nitro and that is how he survived.

Wolverine's healing powers increased after Magneto removed his Adamantium skeleton.

 

[kguillou]

Jeez, so its official wolverine is invincible... Thank god he's on our side, heh.

I wouldn't say that explains it very well.

I hate when writers explain stuff in fan pages and NOT IN THE BOOK!!

Wolvie's adamantium skeleton was placed back in his body.

And in any case, who wants to read about a Wolverine that is THAT powerful? Not me.

Apocalypse removed the poisons from the Adamantium.

 

[kainedamo]

I'd love to have the issue at hand to see if it actually says that in the book or if it's just something someone pulled out of their ass recently.

Actually, what about House Of M?? The ending of House Of M directly contradicts the "poison was removed" theory.

Look it up yourself if your so hellbent on, well, whatever bizzare mission your on.

Apocalypse removed the poisons from the Adamantium.

Which must be why he was dying of adamantium poisoning when Mr. Sinister and the High Evolutionary de-mutated everyone in the world for a few issues of Uncanny.
