He's a determined healer, a lodged bullet was forced out of his skull before it healed.

So stupid in that movie.... do you actually think the bullet would have penetrated far past the skin? it would have hit the adamantium and got smashed flat, damaging his skin but not his skull or brain.... but of course they get it wrong and the bullet forced out is in normal shape (not that a bullet entering a skull would even preserve that shape.

it was a slow bullet

Dear CRXican:

Please read the thread.

Sincerely,
PingSpike

maybe my sarcasm meater is broken.

But the question is how it was grafted onto his skeleton. Wich CRXican answered.

The WeaponX story line goes into more detail on it. Though i wondered why his body didnt try to get the adamantium out of his body. hmm maybe that was covored and i just forgot it heh.

The question was how could anyone do surgery that required bone to be exposed for long periods of time on an individual whose skin would heal almost immediately during the surgery. The X-men movies introduce the concept of the adamantium being surgically grafted rather than fused to the bone through some unexplained technology like in the comics.

No one questions that his ability to heal quickly was the only thing that made him capable of surviving such a surgery.

he was drugged. and drowned

The increased healing for wolverine was always there BUT the adamantium enhanced it greatly after being grafted to his skeleton. At least I remember reading that from the comics. Also, I try not to think to hard on fiction... otherwise I'd turn into one of those stupid Star Trek dweebs that question the physics of every show.

So stupid in that movie.... do you actually think the bullet would have penetrated far past the skin? it would have hit the adamantium and got smashed flat, damaging his skin but not his skull or brain.... but of course they get it wrong and the bullet forced out is in normal shape (not that a bullet entering a skull would even preserve that shape.

length of bullet > thickness of his skin against his skull.... how did it enter all the way in, without getting smashed flat?

it was fired from several feet away 😉 😛

Maybe they cut his arm off, did the surgery on the arm...then returned it to his body.

I remember reading that through the course of his many adventures, wolverine has survived at least one beheading.

How did that work, did someone reattach it for him so it could heal? I dont think his regeneration extends to growing new limbs/heads

Yeah, some one put his head next to his body and it healed together. I guess he was still pretty fvcked up for awhile afterwards though, as I understand it. But this is second hand info so don't quote me on that.

QFT they didn't just take his muscles and skin off and put adamantium on the skin.

how come scorpmatt can use the f word in his post? i couldn't quote it. He's a mod!!!!!!1

heh, I now have a mental image of a headless wolverine body trying to find its head "Over here, no, left, left! Whoa! Wait a min.." *head gets kicked, rolls away*

edit: Just realized that his spined would be fused with teh metal, it wouldn't give way would it?

I assume you meant bone not skin.

If you look at the X-ray shown in the first x-men movie, his skull is braced, rather than covered, with what look like clearly crafted bands of adamantium. You can't just put a dab on his skull and have it turn into that shape...it looks like it was custom made for his skull and then attached.

Of course...the movies do seem inconsistent on this.

Not now, but Wolverine is very old...he didn't always have his adamantium skeleton...and he's actually lost it before IIRC.

 

[iwantanewcomputer]

the movies are wrong and inconsistant. and yes, magneto did rip the adamantium out of him in one of the comics...now that's hardcore

yeah, what that other guy said, magneto ripped out all of wolverines metal. just about killed him. ended up with bone claws hat were supposedly sharper and harder than the metal ones 😕

Yes, by Magneto and he even had bone claws for that time.

he has always had the claws.

there is a series that have the orgin of Wolverine and Sabertooth. set in like the 1800's (or so. cant remember the time period but around there).

As a child he cut his mother with them. Also in a not to recent comic it is found that Wolverine's brother is alive and he had claws.

Yeah, I read the graphical novel on wolverine's origin story. He was a weak sickly kid until puberty when his mutation kicked in.

The comic I remember reading where wolverine didn't have adamantium he got one of his claws smashed/broken off.

I missed all that, though I've been out of the comic scene for many many years now, my one friend who is still really into them will give me an update from time to time or loan me one if its a must read.

I had no clue though that he was born with the claws or that he had a brother. 😕

I don't know about the brother thing, I don't think he had any siblings in the origin story. He wasn't born with the claws either, they didn't manifest until puberty...and they were shorter than they are now at that point.

I'm not that into the comic scene really...I read a lot of my soon to be brother in laws comics when I'm over there, and he's a pretty big buff. I like them, but not enough to spend money on them.
