The most distinct cause of death in each state. WTF? "legal intervention"? -- (link) - Mop Jun 24, 14:03 5

  - Oregon! Where "death by cop" is tops! -- nm - Mop Jun 24, 14:24

  - Mop has standards. he would never sleep with Wolverine :) -- nm - Peglegpete Jun 24, 14:34 2
    - well, I would not say he would be sleeping. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 24, 14:35 1
      - true. :) -- nm - Peglegpete Jun 24, 14:36
- Can a Wolverine blood transfusion cure you, like a Khan blood transfusion can resurrect the dead? -- nm - Mop Jun 24, 14:28
- When he regrows skin or bleeds out and needs more blood... where does that tissue come from? Does his body cannibalize itself? -- nm - Mop Jun 24, 14:19 4
  - I recall on one story he was eating and drinking a ton of food to provide material for the healing factor to convert it to new material -- nm - Remlik Jun 24, 14:21 3
    - They addressed this with the Flash in the early issues of the Post-Crisis Wally West Flash. He used to eat *a ton*. -- nm - Mop Jun 24, 14:23 2
      - yeah Wally needed to fuel all the time before he could actively tap the speed force. -- nm - Remlik Jun 24, 14:24 1
        
        Which was pretty funny on the tv show -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 14:31
- this is one of the most amusing, if slightly disturbing, threads in a while. -- nm - i.b! Jun 24, 14:17
- yes. but he can come back from that. and drown again. but come back from it. -- nm - Remlik Jun 24, 13:52 46
  - Can he survive lava? -- nm - Mop Jun 24, 13:52 45
    - or decapitation? -- nm - Peglegpete Jun 24, 14:06 11
      - Can he starve or die of dehydration? -- nm - Krusty Jun 24, 14:14 10
        
        How would he handle living on Mars? -- nm - David Jun 24, 14:15 9
        
        He'd calculate the proper orbits and trajectories, strap himself to a rocket and launch himself back to Earth. - TWuG Jun 24, 14:33 5
        
        Comic Book Logic. Yeah, that's rather the point. Also, he's Canadian. - Beryllium Jun 24, 14:34 4
        
        The most hilarious part of this being that Weapon X was a top secret Canadian military project. -- nm - Reagen Jun 24, 15:37
        
        The more ridiculous it gets, the less I care to try and suspend disbelief. -- nm - TWuG Jun 24, 14:41 2
        
        Well, like I said, the ridiculousness is the point. You can't have fantastic without there being at least some ridiculousness. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 14:43 1
        
        Like, take iPhones for example. Lots of us carry around these amazing computers in our pockets ... - Beryllium Jun 24, 14:44
        
        he would die from lack of oxygen. But I suspect once brought into an oxygen atmosphere he'd revive -- nm - Remlik Jun 24, 14:21 1
        
        "Logan Howlett of Mars" just got the green light -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 14:30
        
        "I'm gonna have to stab the shit out of this." -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 14:16
    - I want to say possibly. He got melted in some story but it took A LONG time to heal -- nm - Remlik Jun 24, 13:58 11
      - spoilers for X-Men 3, The Wolverine and Days Of Future Past - Beryllium Jun 24, 14:12 2
        
        more spoils - Roger More Jun 24, 14:22 1
        
        I actually have a theory about that (spoilers) - eag Jun 24, 14:26
      - If he was blown to pieces, would he reassemble or regenerate. And if he he regenerates, which part would it start with, or would he create multiple - pmb Jun 24, 14:10 5
        
        If that happened and you put each piece in a completely sealed adamantium box could you prevent his regenerating? - TWuG Jun 24, 14:13 3
        
        correct. He's had limbs cut off and the don't regrow. However reattach that limb and it heals -- nm - Remlik Jun 24, 14:22 2
        
        So, literally, you can't defeat Wolverine, you can only hope to contain him. -- nm - pmb Jun 24, 14:29 1
        
        yeah for the most part. that's why they depowered him and he eventually was killed -- nm - Remlik Jun 24, 15:15
        
        Have you learned nothing from The Iron Giant? -- nm - David Jun 24, 14:11
      - Can he survive a thousand paper cuts? -- nm - David Jun 24, 14:06 1
        
        for sure yes. -- nm - Remlik Jun 24, 14:07
    - I think it depends on whether he has his adamantium skeleton or not. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 13:53 20
      - Does he have infinite stamina? That is, can he run forever without getting tired? -- nm - Mop Jun 24, 13:56 19
        
        he gets tired. that's not healing factor related. -- nm - Remlik Jun 24, 13:57 8
        
        If he gets an STD, does it heal? -- nm - David Jun 24, 14:07 7
        
        yes. -- nm - Remlik Jun 24, 14:27 3
        
        What if his brain is removed, and put in a blender, and then mixed with pig slop, and then fed to pigs? - Roger More Jun 24, 14:35 2
        
        Now you're just being silly. - pmb Jun 24, 14:39
        
        Basically, is he more T-800 or T-1000? -- nm - Mop Jun 24, 14:38
        
        I'm really curious about this one. What about a parasite? -- nm - Mop Jun 24, 14:24 2
        
        depends on how severe it is. -- nm - Remlik Jun 24, 14:28 1
        
        He defeated the Brood like this once, right? -- nm - Mop Jun 24, 14:29
        
        I don't know, but I bet there's a wiki for this. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 13:57 9
        
        And many, many sites that argue about this and much more as it related to his abilities. :-) -- nm* - Krusty Jun 24, 14:02 8

        See my post below. I wasn't suggesting this isn't the place for it. -- nm - Krusty Jun 24, 14:11 4
        
        don't you have a flag arguement to lose? - gronk Jun 24, 14:19 1

        And why can't this be a site like that? -- nm - Mop Jun 24, 14:04 1
        
        Oh, it is. I wasn't suggesting the discussion end. I enjoy these like most comic book fans. - Krusty Jun 24, 14:10
