If you think about it, deadpool isn't technically getting healed, he is just replacing his lost body parts with cancerous cells. If you compare him to Wolverine, Deadpool is in a constant state of dying while Wolverine is regenerating to peak performance of his cells. That's why in the movies, Deadpool starts dying from cancer when he got the collar. If Wolverine got inhibited the same way, he would be fine

Putting three pencils between each space of the fingers is how it feels to be like Wolverine.

[jehhhGames]

Their healing isnt the same though. Wolverine's is a true healing factor. Deadpool's healing factor rapidly creates dead cells to replace other cells that are perpetually dying, as opposed to healthy ones like Wolverine, as his healing factor was artificially linked to his terminal cancer during his Weapon X experimentation.

Deadpool has more of a dying factor than a healing factor as opposed to Logans healing factor reaplacing dead cells with fresh living ones.

0:43 deadpool was mutated artificially (kind of) on his quest to try to save him from his cancer. He was locked in the oxygen tank thingy by Francis where the oxygen level was brought down suffocating him which brought out his mutation. This is different to wolverine because Logan was born a mutant, but wade wasnt.

Wow seeing behind the door is crazy after all these years

The problem with using regeneration genes, is that it can cause cancer (uncontrolled cell growth).

For example regrowing a lung can be a problem because they help transport blood and oxygen through out the body. So if you put a stem cell injections into the lung it can spread throughout the body and grow more cells in the wrong places, which can lead to cancer.

We are there, we just have to figure how to keep it growing in one area, at a controlled growth rate

1:06 ok a stormtrooper that nailed a shot is probably the most unrealistic thing in this video. Since stormtroopers have terrible shots

[alolaz]

It's pretty cool to see these guys that I've watched since middle school make a video about Deadpool and Wolverine

[optionzmenu]

I thought a “mutate” was always someone with dormant mutant genes that get activated due to insane stress or a stimuli. This happened to Spider-Man with the spider bite and Bruce Banner with the Gamma Rays.

With this logic, I don’t see how Deadpool is a “mutant” in the movie verse anymore than in the comics? All that being said though, I don’t think the movies touch on things that deep.

Just get Wolverine to pick his nose and hes pretty much a goner! 😆

[danimationsanimated]

Fun fact: deadpool actually has a dying factor he replaces dead cells with even more dying cells cool right

[Shady_br]

1:03 despite the video talking about a fictional super power, a storm trooper hitting his shot is still the most unrealistic thing in this video

Today's Fact: The world's largest spider is the Goliath birdeater, which can grow up to 12 inches in leg span.

[peytonkersee]

Supe video idea: What if you gain superpowers from Compound V, like in the show The Boys?

[Munchkinmc]

My favorite super hero film is Testificate Man: the movie.

[Kyleplaysgames]

When they heal the matter has to come from somewhere. So it likely steals matter from the rest of his body. Maybe Wolverine is only 5' 3" because he shrinks a little everytime he heals. Of course when he eats he slowly grows back to normal size.

[FtOfAnger]

One of the best is X-Men Days of Future Past

[marlonmoncrieffe]

'Spider-Man 2' and 'Batman Begins' are the best superhero movies.

[FtOfAnger]

Okay what about the axolotl they can regenerate some parts of there body

[AlanWalkerFan]

I can't wait to watch Deadpool and Wolverine!
