Wolverine hypotheticals

Mutant abilities usually manifest at puberty.

Well, then it comes down to if his powers heal him back to the state in which his power manifested, or to the state his body is “supposed to be” genetically. In other words if he, say lost a hand as a toddler, would it have grown back when his powers activated?

It seems like the answer would be, “sort of”. He ages more slowly than a normal person, but he still ages. I would think that if his healing factor reverts his body back to how he was when it manifested, he’d have stayed a teenager. So, in all likelihood it would grow back.

Logan was born in the 1830s in Alberta, and raised in a wealthy household. I believe his father (or the man who raised him as a father at least) was English. I don’t think he was likely to have been circumcised anyway but I’m not sure.

Also, he reportedly has gotten tattoos many times, but every tattoo is a temporary one because his healing factor undoes it.

Here is an interesting article on ramifications of his powers, a number of which were already touched on in this thread.

Same characters, and even the same actor with Hugh Jackman, different timelines.

Was it? Or is that just hand-waving?

Well, Last Stand/X3 is apparently modern day (post-2000). Dark Phoenix takes place in 1992. Jean Grey does not survive Dark Phoenix.

Add in things like Wolverine being vastly older than Jean Grey and Cyclops and having zero romantic interest in the former, and it’s pretty clear.

What about the latter?

Made by Banner’s Pant’s for Men.

I didn’t realize Banner was a grocer.

Banner’s always a big man when it comes to greens.

How do his pants stay on in the comics? Seriously, has this ever been discussed?

It has, at great length. I hold to the tale of Reed Richards gifting Bruce a pair of pants made of the same material the Fantastic Four use for their outfits.

“Unstable molecules” is what they called it in the comics.

Seriously, I would never wrap my groin in something called “unstable molecules”. But then again, these are people mutated either through “gamma radiation” or “cosmic radiation” so I guess the damage is done.

I keep imagining if in The Incredibles Edna had had a throwaway line about having to pay “an enormous licensing fee” to make the family’s costumes out of “unstable molecules”.

Great side hustle, best part of the job is no one ever asks to speak to the manager.

It’s important for Banner to have easy access to snacks. You wouldn’t like him when he’s hangry.

They could vastly reduce the amount of damage the Hulk does if they’d just start carrying ads for Hostess Fruit Pies in Marvel comics again.

Well, if we take into account the Incredible Hulk TV series (of which I have fond memories of as a child), Banner has been in addition to a doctor and scientist…

A valet, worker in an arcade, casino worker, bartender, handyman, race track utility worker, horse track racker, groundskeeper, disco club worker, assistant football trainer, dishwasher, oil rig worker, car wash worker, janitor, sanatorium orderly, dry cleaner counterman, magician’s assistant, rodeo worker, taxi cab driver, clinic nurse, stock room employee, apartment caretaker, carnival act stage manager, orphanage handyman, newsdealer, GROCERY STORE WORKER, library assistant, librarian, volunteer firefighter, worker for travelling skydiver show, power plant worker, mob driver (unwittingly), restaurant worker, waxwork museum worker, construction worker, clothes manufacturer worker, laundry truck driver, convent caretaker and lumberjack!

(leaving out many duplicates, and god knows what else I couldn’t guess from a quickie review of the episodes on Wikipedia!)

All in good fun of course.
