How Wolverine's Healing Factor Works (With Science)

How Does Wolverine's Healing Factor Really Work According To Real Science?

[antonioaugustus]

He has a high immune system, high PH levels, high metabolism, more open proteins than a regular human. Plus his blood is way more potent due to these factors which make his healing factor are or more quicker than any man or woman, just look at more reptiles.. they heal and regrow things very fast. On the spiritual side he as more open amino acids within his dna/ rna to release those amino at an accelerating rate… and having a high testosterone helps out greatly for his mental and physical states.

Best channel on the Tube. The analytic breakdown of the Dark Knight had me hooked, I will watch anything
(although a Miller-esque Daredevil physio breakdown would be next level)

I would love to have this as a superpower.

What I have thought about why he could go heal so fast,
Is that he's taking all the energy of stuff around him to grow so rapidly.
Or every cell stitches itself together

I thought the healing factor is also a math coefficient that can be compared to humans average one, thus a simple flash wound that in humans take for example a month to completely heal, this X-man is healed in about 15-20 seconds so as it can be calculated at at least 50, 000 times bigger!!!! :O

A couple of comments.
I have to assume that, as well as a super-fast metabolism, he has a super-efficient one otherwise he'd starve to death.
I've also wondered for a while how Wolverine manages internal bleeding. Given how many times he's been hit in the head, he's almost definitely had a brain bleed at one point or another and, considering his impenetrable skull, there'd be no way to get the blood out. He should be in a coma by now because his brain wouldn't be able to heal until the blood was drained and the pressure was alleviated

Which metal implant is perfect for Wolverine? Adamantium or Vibranium?

[ZephyrBW]

I didn’t realize Wolverines healing factor was so advance he has with many people would kill and sell their souls, for he’s basically a fountain of eternal healing

Ok, so I have a question. I have a theory about Wolverine's powers. I've always looked at him as the ultimate adapter. Because his healing factor literally adapts to whatever his situation is. For instance, when he is stabbed, his body adapts using his healing factor to fix the problem by regenerating the stab wounds. And when he's been shot, his body pushes the bullet out ( much like when the tip of a thorn breaks off, and the skin creates a pimple to push it out, minus the pimple) and then regenerates his wounds, and same for broken bones, scratches, burns, etc. but, to prove my theory, can he go without food and water and still stay at his physical peak? Because if his body adapts to almost everything to survive, could it produce it's own nutrients for hydration, energy, etc, if needed?

One time I cut my finger down to the bone it was healed in 2 days but he takes bullets like nothing

this topics is I hope the film theory would elaborate, but I found this amazing channel instead

Great facts by the way I love the explanation I didn't know a few things and this answered them. But we had a debate one time if wolverine got bit by a zombie would he heal and be immune to zombie infection? Or would the virus mutat with mutant cells? Lol just random talk but it turned into a good question during the debate

[jonathanjenkins]

His healing is not from his cells only

[Eco-VillePatagoniaChile]

if molecules would move at that rate, him and the environment would catch fire :)

[justin]

Does he feel pain like a normal person?

[FightingIsLife]

I don't get how Wolverine is considered a match for Hulk.

Imagine the Hulk squeezes Wolverine, to the point where he crushes and bends his adamantium skeleton.
Hulk should be able to do that with his immense strength.
Now Wolverine is deformed, not dead but severely deformed.
How does he go about rectifying that? 🤔

[pillowman]

He still got his ability taken away by a regular human 😂

[reetakbhandari]

How serious discussion on a fictional character!

[HellGOD-zejj]

His abilities contradicts with the stories so many times but again it just comic stories. Doesn't need to make any sense

[Boggzy]

How come when am the adamantium was removed, and then when wolverine was offered it back how come he didn't just get adamantium claws so that his healing Factor would be a lot better and it would just be a lot lighter? I know it's comics and a writers writing but just a curious thought.
