Wolverine's Secondary Mutation?
In reviewing the Origin mini-series, watching the new movie and reviewing what a secondary mutation is, as described in X-titles of Marvel, I think Wolverine's secondary mutation are in fact the bone claws he has had since childhood. His primary mutation is his healing factor. It could have acted upon his mutation to accelerate the onset of his secondary mutation simultaneously with his primary mutant power's manifestation. It would explain why he was sickly when his powers first began to manifest. It was so much going on, including the formation of his claws, that he was weakened and strengthened at the same time while his healing factor fully developed. What do you other fans think?
What would happen if Wolverine regained all of his memories?
He did. The story was documented in the Wolverine: Origins ongoing series.Unfortunately, it also wasn’t a very good comic. They should have just left it a mystery.
Can anything kill wolverine?
In one of the comic books (I'm blanking on which one, exactly), you find out that Wolverine actually was at either Nagasaki or Hiroshima, so an atomic bomb wouldn't do it. His adamantium skeleton protected him and his healing ability took care of the rest. However, in one of the comics (Fatal Attraction), Magneto sapped the adamantium from his skeleton, which made him more vulnerable and in fact came the closest to killing him. He was without his healing factor for quite a while. But eventually in returned to him. Now, without the skeleton, he'd be possible to kill. My guess, if you were somehow able to capture him and threw him through a meat grinder or something, then yes - he'd die. I don't think there'd be anyway to come back from that. But, if you're asking if there's a way to kill him while he's got the adamantium skeleton - probably not. If you go off the movie, even Rogue couldn't kill him. Well, actually she did in the first movie (or you could say he died willingly for her), but eventually his healing factor came in and brought him back. So I don't believe there is a way to kill Wolverine so long as he has the adamantium grafted to his bones. You couldn't chop off his head (his spine is protected and so is skull). And from the way I understand it, so long as there is a piece of an organ left, he can regenerate it. Though, I think there might have been a comic book in which he eventually died from old age - hundreds of years later. His healing factor isn't perfect and, like all of our systems, it eventually failed him - but he lived much longer than the average person. So, I guess your options are to either somehow remove the adamantium or wait a couple hundred years for nature to work its curse. Also, the answer depends on what writer/cannon you are looking at. Classic Wolverine (like seen in Fatal Attraction) could be killed. But the new Wolverine seems to only be able to die by mystical powers or some crap like that. So, yeah.
What was Wolverine's second appearance?
I'll list 'em in order, Wolverine's first five appearances. And no, while he was contemplated to be part of Alpha Flight and has made guest appearances later, he never was part of the Canadian team. 1 - Incredible Hulk, 180, Oct. 1974. Last page, kind of a darkhorse entrance. 2 - Incredible Hulk, 181, Nov. 1974. First full comic intro of Wolverine. 3 - Giant Sized X-men 1, 1975. Fans of comicdom know THIS ish. 4 - X-men 94, Aug. 1975, and further - (now what is formerly Uncanny X-men) - Wolverine joins the team. Claremont and Byrne develop the beginnings of the character into what he is today. 5 - The first mini-series, Sept. to Dec. 1982, with Claremont and Frank Miller at the helm.
Which Wolverine Comics should I be reading?
There are three mini-series that I would suggest. It would be hideously expensive to buy all the individual issues, but you can pick up trade paperbacks for each of them fairly cheaply:Old Man Logan was a very good series written in 2008 that appeared in Wolverine ongoing series three; pieces and parts were used to create the recent movie.Frank Miller did a four issue miniseries in 1982 that preceded the first ongoing series mentioned below.Wolverine: The Origin was a six issue mini-series written in 2001–2002; do NOT confuse this with the muddled ongoing series from 2006. After reading this series, try to pick up a copy of Wolverine #176 and read that issue - it finally explains Wolverine fascination with Jean, and it’s not what you think.If you are looking for more Wolverine comics, simply pick up the issues in the first ongoing series, 1988–2003 issues #1 to #189. With the exception of issues #1 and #10 (the first Wolverine-Sabertooth battle) you can find all of them for $1–$2 or less if you’re patient.
How fast is Wolverine's healing factor for different injuries?
Everything nowadays depends on the writer, but someone who isn't going to be bias, would make his healing factor how it should be, he can heal and survive a decapitation, as if you separate his brain and his body, he'll die, this theory has been proved wrong.In the Civil War storyline, Wolverine is blown up be Nitro with increase powers, he power is to become a bomb, and he took the Mutant Growth Hormone, it increases the mutants powers, and he became a nuke.Wolverine had everything blown up, except his adamantium skeleton. His brain was disintegrated, this is proof that he can survive a decapitation, as it was believed that his brain couldn't send signals to heal his body if it was destroyed or separated from his body.Wolverine with his adamantium skeleton, his healing factor is weaker than without the adamantium, so it is possible that he can survive a decapitation without the adamantium. His healing factor is also adaptive, meaning it can get more powerful, so eventually he might and could become immortal.Now his healing factor at the moment, in the Civil War storyline, we saw that he can heal everything in about 5 minutes at the most, at the least it would be about 2 or 3 minutes, but let's go with 3 minutes. His healing factor is up on Deadpool's level, meaning it is one of the best in the Marvel Universe, though not the overall best.Also, in the Civil War storyline (again), these guys try to ambush Logan. He gets one but another gets ahold of Logan and cuts his head, he is near decapitated. His head is holding on by a thread and they believe that he is dead, and seconds later, he's back and fully healed.
If wolverine were to have a younger sis or brother, which would be funnier?
James Howlett,Wolverines real name, did have a younger brother and he had claws like Wolvie, but he died according to the mini series 'Origin.' Then in the mini series about the end of Wolverines life he had an older brother. Don't quote me, but I am at work and check my comics right now.
What is your favorite Wolverine film?
The Wolverine is very close to the comics depiction of the character. It brings Logan out of his element, introduces many characters from Wolverine’s mini-series from the 1980’s, has him matched up against different foes, and has some really great action sequences.Old Man Logan I would rate second and I’m not a big fan of X-Men Origins: Wolverine although I really liked the more intelligent portrayal of Sabretooth in that movie.
