Wolverine
Character » Wolverine appears in 16085 issues.
A long-lived mutant with the rage of a beast and the soul of a Samurai, James "Logan" Howlett's once mysterious past is filled with blood, war, and betrayal. Possessing an accelerated healing factor, keenly enhanced senses, and bone claws in each hand (along with his skeleton) that are coated in adamantium; Wolverine is, without question, the ultimate weapon.
Can Wolverine really be turned into a vampire?
So I was looking around Comic book resources and came across this picture.... and I started to wonder... can Logan really become a vampire?
I know it's a mystical force that makes the undead.. however with his healing factor, would he actually become a vampire, he was able to expel the brood, and other mystical forces with his HF. As well as will out the adamantium process that Genesis was trying to implement to make him the new Death....
Is this possible.. I know all things are possible in comics however I can't see that this would be in continuity
Thoughts?
after reading the arc right before Old Man Logan, where Logan has to fight to come back from the dead / and considering all the times he's died and come back.. i have to think a mystical undead prognosis would put him in a constant state of battle to come back. im gonna have to assume he would be a drooling, padded cell worthy, mess. not docile of course, but psychoactively absent. i could dismiss that arc though - and assume that the healing factor works like Blades serum. and the bloodlust (still present) makes him angry. and that anger fuels him like we find it to with the Hulk. all guess work, really.

Hmm that's an interesting hypothesis... I would like to think his healing factor would be able to be something of an inhibitor to the process.. sort of like the brood... he turns but after a fight for his life turns back to just a regular old mutant... .
"...since vampirism in the Marvel Universe is mystical and not because of a virus like in the Blade movies..."is that true, though? i thought in x-men #1, where jubilee gets splashed with vampire blood by the suicide bomber, she gets diagnosed by dr. kavita rao with what looks to be a pathological disorder.
however, i just saw a promo pic of a full-on vampirized x-23. assuming that it's true - then if she can become a vampire, logan certainly can...
I read the Marvel Comics summary issue's and it says something along the lines of "One of the X-Men's greatest warriors has been turned into a vampire by Dracula." From that I can guess, it's happening.
Well in my opinion, if they really want to turn this vampire strain stuff to be a real threat, thyr should make every mutant susceptible to it, even guys with healing factors.... but that would be hard to explain though. :D
Dracula bit Wolverine in Uncanny X-Men Annual '82, it didn't have any effect other than temporally putting Wolverine under Dracula's thrall... but Marvel has been inconsistent on what it takes to get turned into a Vampire. Sometimes it is just a bit and sometimes ingesting vampire blood is required.
Anyway, Logan has healed from the effects of Lycanthropy (both traditionally and a science based replica), so I would imagine that his healing factor would kick Vampirism to the curb eventually if it ever was allowed to take hold.
Here is the reason why it could happen. Vampires are based in an element of magic so it isn't exactly science hence being the "undead". In comics, at least right now, magic trumps anything just look at Scarlet Witch for this.
@wolverine08, I've wondered this myself.
Being our resident Logan expect, can you give me an answer?
@comicstooge: Nope. This already almost happened to him back during the 90's, and the healing factor saved him.
@comicstooge: Nope. This already almost happened to him back during the 90's, and the healing factor saved him.
So, Blade was wrong?
@comicstooge: Yeah, that's why Wolverine was fairly nonchalant about Blade's threat.
On a side note, that's some crappy art.

Haha, eh, I've seen worse.
America titties.
@comicstooge: I wish I had titties like those!

You'd need a breast reduction for that, bro.
@comicstooge: Nope. This already almost happened to him back during the 90's, and the healing factor saved him.
The healing factor also saved him in Curse of the Mutants. When Cyclops turned his HF back on, the virus went away.
Of course he can!
Oh wait, nevermind.

It is Howard Chaykin's art after all.
