Hey Everyone! If you want to check out: How Do Wolverine's Claws Work? kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnSafKCMo8Zkg7M Let me know if there's a character you want to see analyzed. Got a few on the list from you all! Appreciate you!🥰

[@Oldschool1943]

his name isn't james logan it's James Howlett. Logan is his alias, not birthname.

[@Oldschool1943]

Weapon X is also his other alias

[@endershepard7117]

But did you know that some snakes 🐍 bodies can also still violently attack after death?

[@TheRambler-pz1gx]

Wolvy's "strength" can fluctuate almost instantly due to his healing factor. Imagine a weight lifter that recovers instantly. So when Wolvy struggles at first he is building muscle instantly to overcome being too weak. hence why one moment he cant lift the 80k elevator, and in the next second he can.

[@coldfire22]

Yeah… imagine that. Take a pic of yourself now and compare it to yourself in 20 years. I’m sure there will be some aging. 🤷‍♂️

[@Ork_Boy]

I still want to know what would happen if Wolverine was infused with Vibranium instead of adimantium

[@tricktheorists]

Written down, and looking into! Thanks!

[@Ork_Boy]

No problem, I hope you find out!

[@thrasherfoo]

First of all, he'd be a lot lighter, which of course means he'd be faster, quieter, and more agile. Secondly, he wouldn't be constantly poisoned by the adamantium in his system, which would kick up his healing a notch. (He's still got metal bones though, which isn't exactly healthy) Other than that, I don't think you'd notice a significant difference. It might hurt less when he gets impaled, thrown out of buildings, etc... But his bones absorbing more of the kinetic energy he receives on a day to day basis doesn't really change the end result. He's still a short, angry, brawler with metal claws. And Canadian.

[@CaptYid]

It should be a what if comic book

[@xXBallistic82Xx]

Marvel has been pretty vague about his strength level. they have him listed any where between 800lbs - 2tons. He has some great feats of strength. Having unbreakable bones with an amazing healing factor, he has nothing limiting his strength like normal humans do so they don't tear their muscles. In one comic he ran 100 mph and blew past Captain America. He can abuse his healing factor and push his body to its limits.

[@satnav1980]

I would love to see a film about Wolverine in which he only has bone claws and is a lot more feral than what we have ever seen. But I would also like to see his healing slowed down so that he has to sleep or even hibernate in order to heal really bad injuries. And I wouldn't mind if this feature film was fully animated. But if they was to go this route I'd want it to be next level, like the details are hyper realistic. Think of something groundbreaking in the same way Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within was when it was released. I think that would be awesome. And I'd like to see a really hairy Logan to add to his animalistic and feral nature.

[@AGENT00CULO]

Any chance of making a what if video. Like what if Wolverine's bones were covered in vibranium instead of adamantium, or how powerful might he be with vibranium instead of adamantium

[@tricktheorists]

Man that's an interesting idea! I'm writing that one down thanks! (I'll do another "science of power" video and put a video like that or one/going into a specific character's power in-between).

Wolverine been one of My favorite characters since I was 10 years old I'm 40 now

[@rinzler224]

[@davewebster5120]

Wolverine as actually tremendously weak to psychics. All you have to do is levitate him a few feet above the ground and all his rage and all his berserking won't be able to save him when you drop him into the ocean and he drowns because his bones aren't at all buoyant. Hulk could also probably die in an ocean after swimming for awhile and all his anger turns to panic and he drowns as Bruce Banner.

[@blackc1479]

This (or something similar) may have already happened, i havent followed comics closely for a while. But i like the idea that for instance logan can recreate his brain, but actual memories are lost due to being electrical vs somehow dna based. Yeah, they did it in origins, to a certain extent. But im thinking taking it farther. Every time his brain is destroyed, he should come back with zero memory, and so whatever the situation is when he does, should heavily effect his worldview. He could become a total wild card anytime he gets stomped because hes going to come back in a different situation each time. and whats "right" would depend on what he comes back to.

[@lordm91]

@tricktheorists Thanks. I can't wait 😁

[@HK47_115]

This makes me have so many more questions. Some of the major ones being, if he can regenerate from a single drop of blood, how he doesn't leave behind a bunch of Logan clones every time he bleeds? And I thought it would be easier to tell who's the original if they all have the exact same memories that are written into their literal cells. I can't even begin to comprehend how the hell that would even work. Honestly reminds me of that transferred my consciousness into my body excuse made by Reiner in attack on Titan. Where the fuck did that come from and how the hell with that even work? And on top of all of that if that's the case then what makes a difference if you decapitate him? Won't his head grow a new body? Won't his body grow a new head? And before somebody says know he has to attach it first, then why the hell can you regenerate from a drop of blood but his head or body can't regenerate a new head or body? Maybe this is different continuities, but it just seems broken and kind of contradicts the whole point of having this super super human factor. I mean, can regenerate from full blown disintegration with nothing but a drop of blood, but his body can't grow a new head or vice versa? And for as long as he's been alive how is his body not adapted to its claws better to where it's not as excruciatingly painful when they're ejected from the knuckle spaces? Weather going to get that could be put up with healing Factor constantly repairing to how they were previously. I'm surprised through all the extreme shit he goes through it doesn't cause his extreme to go through further mutations.

[@Zero-tk1hb]

From what i remember the "Heal from a single cell" was from a history where his healing factor was beeing super charged by magic. Usualy he heals a lot, but if you cut his head he is dead or at least incapcitated

[@ProBlossom]

@@Zero-tk1hb in comics fury kept wolverines head in a container and he was still alive

[@crewcutter2030]

wolverine can now superheat his adamantium, means he can now avoid being magnetized.

[@chanerian_yt]

Trick, what are your personal reccomendations for someone who knows nothing about wolverine but wants to get started? (Animated Series preferred)

[@tricktheorists]

Hey chanerian_yt! There's one called Wolverine and The X Men I saw one time (a good amount) that was pretty good. Faster paced than the original 1992 one that's getting continued soon.

I thought Wolverine couldn't swim they got them down there in the ocean fighting great white sharks crazy

[@tricktheorists]

Thought that was interesting too! Lol

[@magazineretriever9036]

In X-Men (1992) It took Wolverine several days to heal from Sabertooth slashing his ribs.

[@TheMrBig8]

Yeah it used to take days for him to heal from big wounds. But it’s got faster and faster as the years hav gone. Almost like the more damage he accumulates the better he heals

[@thedoc7184]

The most impressive thing is that his dna was unaffected by the radiation from a nuke

[@mr.mediocregamer9653]

If I were wolverine, you wouldn't catch me ever on an ocean crossing boat. You know for a fact, someone's going to toss him over the side and there's no way he can swim. I don't know if he'd stay dead under the pressure of the water, or if the water would just squish him like toothpaste out of his skeleton... but I wouldn't want to be him finding out.

[@focusnfinesse]

So is this channel a rip off of Film Theory or part of that group?

[@tricktheorists]

Hey focus fitness! Others may answer here's just my two cents. I just put science to things like Kyle Hill and a few others that inspired me. I'm guessing it's because I added myself to the video with the googly eyes that justifies the "rip off" for most people. Thumbnail is mine. Video structure may come from the same teacher/acquittance I have that Matpat also knows. I can change the cutout, just hard to green screen myself into the video vs a picture of me! Good question.

[@eggplant9479]

i think, when healing factor comes in, deadpool is above him

[@EdgbertPrice24]

Well, Deadpool in the comics is immortal. He was given immortality by Thanos.

[@ImGonnaShitYourPants]

Has anybody ever thought to just bring homie into space with no suit to kill him? You need oxygen to heal, and being in a vacuum is naturally damaging, so you could just trap him in space, or lure him into an adamantium vacuum chamber.

[@ChineduOpara]

Same as being drowned. I heard that he would just go into a coma, not actually die

[@ImGonnaShitYourPants]

yeah but water has oxygen in it.@@ChineduOpara

[@tepangora1388]

Hulk and Wolverine both do not need Oxygen to heal. Wolverine has been drowned and left to die in a vacuum type space before. He suffocated over and over again due to his healing factor kicking in. He's had molten Adamantium poured over him, which turned him into a statue for a couple of years which technically worked. It would have been one of the most expensive statues too lol. Remember, this is a Universe where people have Super Powers that rival Gods.

@@Eheth1958 Nothing has a soul, it's just genetic memory. But yeah, Deadpool wold be the exact same, 'what would happen'?

[@blackc1479]

Seems like they did something similar with Lobo way back. Basically every drop of blood spawned a new lobo. (And yeah, lobo is basically parody) I would guess in universe it would be whichever half had more mass/cells. Which implies that both halves are communicating about who is bigger....which implies even weirder questions...

[@blackc1479]

​@@Eheth1958but for instance DP getting ripped in half would leave 2 substantial chunks. I guess you could make the argument that the top half gets precedence since it has his brain, but what if it's vertical like the op said?

[@KatanasDream-n7r]

See, in terms of fantasy "reality" wolverine beats Batman on the Martial Arts front, Wolvie had decades to train with the greatest teaches through time, Batma had lerned all his skills in the space of say 10 years to make him able to become batman at a relatively early age

[@wingsoffreedom3589]

That's because in general DC is far Dumber than marvel at least if they gave Batman photographic reflexes like task water it would make sense why he can take on Ra's Al Ghul. Realistically wolverine should be around Ra's level of skill from all his experience and training.

[@Gemoroda]

I never understood this outside of the writers choosing to do this how can pumping Wolverine full of bullets puts a strain on his healing factor but he is able to regenerate in a few moments 3 minutes whatever from a speck of blood? Is there any logic behind this or we just have to dismiss it as the writer wanted this to happen so here we go?

[@brandonkingcantwell3718]

#TrickTheory Wolverine also blocked his mind from Prof x to the point Wolverine got with in an inch away from him and could have killed Por x by his own statement so even people with Mind controlling abilities can not stop him you really cant drowned him either cuz he will still stay alive but suffer and his healing factor is not weaked just takes him longer to recover however alot of that that happend where what if comics were Wolverines healing factor failed

It always tickles me how the sliding scale manages to creep into even "serious " analysis. It cant be escaped in comics. Just gotta chalk it up to multiverses. Logan can regenerate from a single cell in a short timeframe...but if hes hit hard enough you can knock him down for a while. I swear, the comic creators hate analytical types. Theyre just seeing how creative we can be to make sense of their characters.

[@wingsoffreedom3589]

For context the drop of blood fell on a magic gem that increases powers so it degree his whole body it was an exception circumstance. Generally his healing stems from his brainstem hence why his adamantium skull is so important. If you got around his skull and nuked his brain to ash he might stay dead.

[@sawboss5794]

[@silverslider562]

The background music in the beginning of the video *Chefs kiss* 👌 But one correction, The Incredible Hulk did rip Wolverine in half in Ultimate Wolverine vs Hulk issue#1 Also, I don’t think this vid mentions his ability to communicate with animals. That ability is another result of his mutation which falls under the classification of Feral - Canines.

[@tricktheorists]

Looking at that issue now, and oh yeah, Hulk succeeded. That's awesome he has that as a power!! Saving that for the next video then, thanks!

[@silverslider562]

@@tricktheorists Yeah, the image of Hulk tearing Wolverine in half was a very memorable cover for issue #1 but he was only able to rip him in half during that fight because in the Ultimate Universe (Earth 1610) where the event took place, adamantium is not unbreakable. Personally, I prefer the other Marvel universes where adamantium is unbreakable. I’m a bit of a traditionalist in that way BUT, ☝️ with that said, Ultimate Wolverine Vs Hulk tells a VERY kiss @$$ story and has phenomenal art.
