SNIKT! WHY DON'T WOLVERINE'S CLAWS HEAL THE WOUNDS HE MAKES?
Edited By Cervantes
Bear with me, people! Granted, he will have a different blood type than most people he slices up. (unless he's type O, I don't know, where should I go, to get the info? Blood Bureau? Can't stop this flow, OH NO...) And the foreign cells may be targeted by the victim's body. But given the questionable science of "healing factor," it seems almost like a mutant energy revivifying field -- especially now where he can regenerate from practically nothing. He's come a long way...
(Incidentally, when he regenerates from just a few cells, he should lose his mind or at least his memories when that happens; but in current continuity, I guess his soul won't leave his body no matter what, somehow renewing these features for him. This is more evidence that there is some field that targets his blood at work)
So I ask you, is it too outlandish a suggestion that Wolverine's BLOOD, spilled onto his blades as they SNIKT! through his skin, enters the wounds he creates, proceeds into the victim's body through the wounds, and HEALS THEM?
I say thee, NAY!
Think of how useful this could be, considering that a big problem in the past was Wolverine can't use his bad @$$ claws on the bad guys 'CAUSE THEY'D DIE, and X-Men don't kill! (this was BX, "Before X-Force" where they are currently a kill squad targeting superbads) He could really cut loose, pun intended, and it's like, villain, heal thyself.
You could also buy back the killing he's done so far -- ARE THEY REALLY DEAD? Having been revivified by Wolverine's healing factor (I would have this be a one slice, one healing deal -- not a permanent acquisition of the H.F.), are they out for revenge and a chance to experiment on him as DRUG X???
Wolverine could be good again, which would make his mentoring of the X-Teens less awkward, morally:
JUBILEE: I just don't know how long I can fight my desire for human blood, Wolvie! I've been watching the Twilight movies like a friggin' zombie, but nothing seems to help...
WOLVERINE: Ehh, why not indulge in a blood breakfast? I gut people all the time -- waist deep in their blood, runnin' like a red river...
JUBILEE: Uh...
WOLVERINE: In fact, I'm going after that Edward guy -- you with me?
JUBILEE: Y-ES!
Now, I know people will say you can't just wish this and make it so. But having researched Peter Pan lore and ancient rituals, I've foudn that WE CAN get Wolverine...
If all the Viners out there just clap their claws together and say "I BELIEVE IN HEALING!" Wolverine will LIVE!
...as a more interesting character! (maybe not in continuity, though...:P)

No.
@ComicMan24 said:
Well the amount of blood transfered this way is so miniscule that no healing could be done. Plus from what I can remember Wolverine's knuckles don't bleed after releasing the blades.

I'm not even sure what the question was after reading this. Something about Wolverine stealing Emma's heart or something?
The answer is: turquoise.LOL.
I don't think wounds from Wolverine's claws heal people because he's not mingling blood when he cuts them.
No offense Cervantes but I think you would have made things clearer for everyone if you hadn't of intertwined so many pictures.
Great responses! Since we've got G-Man and Babs for SERIOUS, hard-hitting blogs, I take a
*somewhat*
tongue in cheek approach, the gimmick being that the actual person the blog is about, writes it.
And Wolverine frequently veered off topic into haikus about his "immortal beloved" Emma just when I was getting to answers about his HEALING FACTOR. Maybe he'll write some turgid fanfic or something...
THIS BLOG'S OSBORN AWARDS: (Oscars are for acting, Osborns are for twisted genius!)
BEST ANSWER OSBORN: Shadow_Thief, definitely, in a tie with justafan! Plus, justafan saved me time, since my response to y'alls postings was VERBATIM this (especially the teeth-gnashing chest pound):
MOST COGENT OSBORN: CATPANEXE and ComicMan24!
Due to the bad economy, your Osborns will be completely virtual. But you can clutch at the screen and feel free to give a speech...
In closing, I have to agree that his claws WOULDN'T heal wounds they make (too little time and too little cell material) , except I don't know that capillaries wouldn't have shed blood not visible to the naked eye. To know if his HF could ever heal those he wounds, I need three questions answered:
1) HOW LITTLE BLOOD, on a cellular level, can still heal? 2) Does the HF operate INDEPENDENT of Wolverine's mind or soul at a cellular level? I need some RPGers here, I've heard conflicting reports about the "soul rooted in his body" thing... 3) Does the HF work like a FIELD POWERED BY MUTATED CELLS (by their mitochondria, for ex), or like THE MUTATED CELLS ALONE? Any feats you can relate would help...
But should Marvel make it heal his victims, for story purposes? What do you guys think?
LOL. Physical distress, and yet you soldier on...
@DoomDoomDoom:
"No offense Cervantes but I think you would have made things clearer for everyone if you hadn't of intertwined so many pictures."
None taken! Wolverine - big surprise - wasn't one for listening to constructive criticism. He demanded final cut, or I'd get a final cut...
Maybe I'll credit the character as author next time I do a blog like this -- my bad, guys...
@Avenging-X-Bolt:of course. didn't y'know i have my own healing factor
LOL. Physical distress, and yet you soldier on....
Thank you, thank you all !!!!!!!!@Avenging-X-Bolt:
"of course. didn't y'know i have my own healing factor"
LOL. Physical distress, and yet you soldier on....
ROFLMAO!
AND THE OSBORN FOR BEST JOKE GOES TO... AVENGING-X-BOLT!
