[@Nerdist]

Thank you Eric! It's really important to me in terms of framing. Thanks for noticing. -- KH

[@crackpapa_]

There's an anime called "Ajin", a new human looking race where when they die, they regenerate and live again. And when they lose a port of their body, only the part with the biggest mass regenerates and the other seperated part decayes, meaning if an ajin gets decapitated the body regenerates a new head, but with a completely new brain and the seperated head dies! It's an interesting anime -Also there is a type of matter which surrounds them and can use them. This matter transforms into nutrients, cells and bodyparts. They also only regenerates when they die.

[@frank215]

If you read the manga, they go a little further on this idea. Definitely an interesting series!

[@D.A.-Espada]

Ceyhun Dursun 7

[@Hoops927]

Denis Garley Yep, that's a big part of the show. Since you can't permanently kill an Ajin, people found a way to torture them. To literally cut off their head and let them watch as a new head (with all his memories and experiences) grows back and takes his place. It's a really creepy thought...

[@carlr6586]

awesome show

[@arkvoodleofthesacredcrotch6060]

I know I watched this befor, but I can't remember all these details... the blessings of bad memory lol time to find it again

[@NeutralGuyDoubleZero]

Wolverine specifically would grow back from his head as his healing factor stems from his brain. Its also why he can die from drowning. How underwhelming...

[@alexdhamp]

and how he suffocated to death...

[@zachdohdohbird9624]

NeutralGuyDoubleZero he would die, he even stated it himself in the comics

[@NeutralGuyDoubleZero]

+Zach Doherty-Smith I dont doubt that, but that doesnt make sense to me. He can survive being burnt to a skeleton with none of his organs supporting his brain, yet if his spinal cord is cut from his body he is unable to regenerate. I get why he can die from asphyxiation since thats pure oxygen depravation that affects only his blood and brain, thus preventing regeneration auto fixing it, but getting decapitated is pretty similar of an injury in terms of scope to being burnt down to his very bones.

[@zachdohdohbird9624]

NeutralGuyDoubleZero true. continuity is hard

[@charlescourtwright2229]

Can tou even decapitate Wolverine with the adamantium spine and all?

[@jlynec]

I realize this video was 8 years ago, but hear me out... There's an issue with the "resources" part. Deadpool's superpower is essentially unbridled cancer - stated in DP2 (yes, I know this wasn't out yet at the time of this video). Where a normal person's cells can only divide so many times before the telomeres run out and the cells become prone to mutations beyond repair, DP's cells would be able to regenerate the telomeres - making the cells of his body an immortal cell line, so they could divide ad infinitum to create a whole body if just the head remained. Although in DP2 they just put him back together and he heals with the severed part. Immortal cell lines already exist - a woman named Henrietta Lacks had a sample taken from cancer cells in her body (cervical, iirc?). These cells just kept dividing and were taken for research without her consent or being paid for the use of her cells. Her cells (HeLa cells) are one of only two known immortal cells lines in existence.

[@arkvoodleofthesacredcrotch6060]

Actually his super fast healing was reduced at some point, also I know I've read comics where when his head is destroyed or he explodes himself, he IS pretty much dead for a while. He uses this to visit lady death, but his body is regenerating while he does so and he gets thrown back into his body

In case anyone really wants to know how he draws, watch closely. He's right-handed, so he draws and writes with his right hand, but when he writes, the editors flip the image so that we can read it too.

well the way we create more banana plants is by cutting the apart and replanting them. so if we can do it with bananas why not Deadpool? lol

[@limiv5272]

Because biology!

[@maxmustermann1455]

cuz bananas don't bleed to death...... seriously (assuming the question was somewhat serious): cuts from a plant can absorb new resources. When you put it into a glass of water, the pressure inside the plant still continues to pump new water and stuff into it. It doesn't need roots to absorb resources. Also, this functions without any instructions. Plants don't have a nervous system. Most of the stuff a plant does, happens automatically. Capillar pressure, osmosis..... Photosynthesis not so much, but it happens on a cellular level. Plants do not have organs.... But even with plants, it does matter which parts you take. If you take any plant and cut off all roots and leaves, it'll die. If you decapitate Deadpool, the body does not have a brain telling its hard to pump, its lungs to breathe etc... The head doesn't have a digestive system providing new resources, no heart pumping those resources into the brain, no lungs enriching the blood with oxygen.... Healing factor alone doesn't cut it once vital organs are lost.

[@richardconaway1687]

because plants have no brains.

[@justinmathaba8482]

[@crazylarryjr]

Brendon Hutton, A lot would depend on Wade himself. More than likely, he had a genetic marker for the cancer. Much like diabetes and heart disease run in genitics. if so the HF could recognize the Cancer as part of Wades self and heal accordingly

[@freefallillustration844]

yes yes it would hence the ol hamburger dead and his overall body lol

[@echoseven8580]

+crazyjr Then again, it doesn't matter whether or not the cancer regens, he heals too fast for it to hurt him, plus he just straight up can't die.

[@crazylarryjr]

Da Wulf I understand that, i was just saying that the Cancer is part of him, so the healing factor recognizes it, and does not attack it

[@Bleats_Sinodai]

But Kyle, if Thor's Hammer just gets heavier as an unworthy person tries to wield it, how come the hammer didn't bring the SHIELD plane down (even if a little) when The Hulk tried to lift it in the movie? Wouldn't it's weight have affected the plane if it got heavi enough for The Hulk to not be able to lift it? And why did the ground only break around his feet, and not around the hammer itself (considering both exerted the same amount of force downwards at that moment)? Also, if it worked with a gravitational field, wouldn't it just attract anything that got near it (perhaps even the person trying to lift it)? I mean, you can't just create a focused area of gravity on the part of the hammer facing down...

[@kevindavis5966]

That's why their theory is wrong. It's magic, period. No physical explanation works.

[@m8eee]

best guess from a non nerd. it changes its gravity to just past the point of lifting so hulk pulls up he is holding all the weight and the portion on the ground is then very little. also the gravity changing properties could change the gravity how it chooses, aka the point facing down and not the entire thing. that could explain the last 2 questions. lastly kevin, magic and since have always walked hand in hand throughout history. in our realm, magic is just unexplained physics until we advance put knowledge

[@Bleats_Sinodai]

+Devin Laviolette the main problem with magic is exactly that we can't explain it. it can't be gravity because it works as a field, and affects anything around it. how could it hold Loki down to the ground but not attract him to itself? how can it attach itself to the plane floor but Hulk can't just pull with enough force to break the ground around it and lift it?

[@kevindavis5966]

Devin Laviolette In the DC universe, Superman is vulnerable to magic, AKA it is a force without known or reproducible physical properties. In the comic universe, magic is not unexplained physics, but actual mystical manipulation of time/space/matter. That said, do I agree with your definition of magic in our universe? Absolutely, but it in no way applies to the fictional universe of comics.

[@Bleats_Sinodai]

+Kevin Davis reasonable, I just want to try and see this from a scientific point of view

[@volksdude1970]

[@Arek15Arek]

wasn't it Lobo tho?

[@hobowithnogoodyoutubechann9707]

Or a drop of blood

[@gucci_flip_flops]

like jordan said, they are very inconsistent lol

[@nonname1239]

But if the body regrows the head, is he deadpool anymore? I mean the brain creates memories right? So if he got decapitated and the body grew a new one, he's no longer deadpool and he won't gonna know who he is neither talk because you gotta learn language or even know what''s happening. So in conclusion, you can't him by decapitation but if his body grew a new head, you basically kind of neutralized him because his memory won't cary to a new head

[@thetoxickor4557]

I know someone who still needs to learn the english language...

[@petersminecraft1316]

this is prettymuch what matpat figured out in film theory

[@polterghost_]

I heard somewhere that his cells carry the memories. Doesnt make sense but its an explanation.

[@williamsimpson4348]

Maybe his memories have something like an auto save so when it regrow she it just copies his memories

[@FaeChangeling]

That's basically the end of X-Men Origins with Wolverine. Unfortunately Deadpool doesn't follow the same logic and somehow retains his memories when his entire brain is destroyed, not just shot through a specific part.

[@Desklamp1234]

what if he can close off the arena of the wound thats bleeding straight away, then regrow the head, or if hes left as just a head, the head literally pulls atoms out of the air for new material, like a dehumidifier does with water...*SURPRISE KATANA*

[@Uatu-the-Watcher]

Kyle, Morphallaxis is the regeneration of specific tissue in a variety of organisms due to loss or death of the existing tissue. The word comes from the Greek allazein, which means to exchange. The classical example of morphallaxis is that of the Cnidarian hydra, where when the animal is severed in two (by actively cutting it with, for example, a surgical knife) the remaining severed sections form two fully functional and independent hydra. The notable feature of morphallaxis is that a large majority of regenerated tissue comes from already-present tissue in the organism. That is, the one severed section of the hydra forms into a smaller version of the original hydra, approximately the same size as the severed section. Hence, there is an "exchange" of tissue. Researchers Wilson and Child showed circa 1930 that if the hydra was pulped and the disassociated cells passed through a sieve, those cells then put into an aqueous solution would shortly reform into the original organism with all differentiated tissue correctly arranged. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morphallaxis

I've always thought that if an immortal or someone with high healing capabilities were to be decapitated the head would go flying off and regenerate a new body, and the body would grow a new head. Since the body had to grow a new head it made more sense to me that it would not have any of said person's memories. I also believed that if the new head did keep any memories, somehow, than that would be a gruesome way to clone yourself. Also, also watch Ajin: Demi Human it also supplies some good information on this context and a really good show and in Naruto Shippuden there's a guy who is immortal and the only way he can die is if his head is severed/separated from his body and he isn't feed then he would die of starvation.

Everyone knows the REAL defining factor to Deadpool is... Well, in his pants... So the parts that regenerate from that are the real Deadpool. Which is why the head turned evil.

[@nickrffpatellis852]

No deadpool isn't a potato he can't be used a a corp

[@savagenature1]

Well as far as Wolverine is concerned, he has to reattach the missing body part. In Ultimate Wolverine vs Hulk, the Hulk tore Wolverine in half. As Wolverine pulled himself along he commented to himself that his legs aren't going to grow themselves back. Later Wolverine is decapitated by S.H.I.E.L.D. and he's still alive and able to talk. Despite his lungs being in another room, he is still able to breathe through his skin. Even in a room deprived of oxygen, he still didn't die. His brain just went into stasis. In order to permanently kill Wolverine you have to destroy his brain.

[@CopiVT]

Wolverine also regenerated from a single drop of his blood

[@savagenature1]

Grasp My Malok Never read that story but I have heard of it. Has that happened multiple times or just the once?

[@crazylarryjr]

Wolverine has said at one time, he thought drowning might actually kill him. Since he had the adamantium he's been deathly afraid of water

[@savagenature1]

crazyjr Since he would be deprived of oxygen his brain would likely go into stasis but he wouldn't be completely dead. Pull him out of the water and pump the water out of his lungs and he should revive, as is implied in the movie version of Days of Future Past

[@crazylarryjr]

I have seen both DOFP and the origins movies, yes in the movies it's hinted that he could survive. I'm refering to a comis i read a while ago. Wolverine was in an underwater faculty (lab, hideout, IDK) and reading his thoughts, he was afraid, if the mission failed he'd definitely die. So at least in his mind he thought it was possible

[@clarkkent1473]

Tho that is assuming the cells are dividing non normally and making 2 cells while consuming one, under normal conditions the cell would only make 1 copy of itself, and that copy could either replace the consumed cell, or replace the destroyed cell, either way you now end up with 3 cells when you started with 4 cells as one cell is destroyed, and another is consumed to attempt to regenerate the destroyed cell

[@megabyte22334488]

Deadpool doesn't need air or resources to regrow, he had been completed deatomized and regrew, therefore, no matter what part is or isn't left, he will regrow no matter what

[@pieceofgosa]

Did Kyle throw shade at NDGT ? #ShotsFired

[@timogul]

The real answer here has to move beyond conventional science and take into account metaphysics. The part that survives is the part with a "soul." There is one Deadpool soul, that is the thing that comes back, and the body it attaches to is the vehicle it rides. I mean the human soul is an established fact in the Marvel universe, numerous characters have been to an afterlife and back, including Deadpool numerous times. It would be no more scientific to ignore the existence of souls within the Marvel universe than it would be to ignore the existence of particle physics in the real world. So that,'s the answer, whichever part ends up with the soul, no matter how small, will eventually regenerate and live again, the other bits stay dead (outside of evil Deadpool, who's an anomaly). And as for "if the head came off, it would die before it can regenerate," that assumes that it requires basic biology to stay alive. Deprive a brain cell of oxygen, for example, and it would die, but deprive Deadpool's brain cells of oxygen, and they just keep on chugging. They get the job done. I would take a while for a body to regenerate solely from a head (although reattaching it would speed things up), but it wouldn't need lungs to breathe, a heart to pump, a stomach to digest, it would just be able to convert raw materials into new body parts directly.

[@ikmnification5737]

I was going to write the same thing, but your comment was longer and explained more. After being completely destroyed/exploded, I could imagine a Deadpool spirit asking, "Now should I regenerate from the toe, that piece of eyeball or that pixelated mess that use to be my dick?"

[@S3PT1M1]

Oh man, i bet deadpool would love having a bitch stewie XD

[@Elsif_]

Soul? Fine. But the rest? Well it is easy to just {talk bulls**t} say oh well his brain cells do not require anything and he will just regrow from raw materials. What you here are talking about is magic. Yes he is a mutant and not magical, so his powers are based in biology (mostly human biology as that is on what he is based of) and stuff. But lets try to for example try to come up with something that makes sense. Lets assume that in response to critical damage most of his body cells would just go into hibernation, and just some cells would try to regenerate and check for status. And even then considering the basic cells are human he could not hibernate endlessly. We still have resource problem, even if his stem cells (or what ) could readapt to function as one cell organisms for the time being (which would result in his regening parts being partly a mass blob of cells (hmm what would happen if you separated some, would they just lose coordination signal?) like algae) where would they get resources? His head does not have much. Those regen cells could try to devour the non critical parts (tongue,jaw), but that would be totally off from the speculation of how his powers work. So unless his head is left in a big pile of flesh.. Air? Asphalt? Dirt? Lol... A lot of ifs and even then we have problems and we make new assumptions on how his powers work. P.s. Don't read superhero comics (actually I think they are inconsistent clusterf**k), still consider all this interesting and because science!sorry tried to keep short, that tends to be a problem for me.

[@timogul]

Lol, IKMN. And yeah Flamingo, it is possible for both parts of his body to fully regenerate, but if that's how it works then there would basically be hundreds of Deadpools wandering around, because he gets dismembered A LOT, and if each piece then became a full Deadpool then we'd be swimming in them. There has to be something to decide which piece regenerates, because so far the only time where there have been two functional Deadpools at once was the evil "Frankenstien" Deadpool, and he didn't even regrow from one piece, he was a collection of numerous pieces grafted together and somehow brought to life. The nature of his motivating force is as yet unexplained. It's possible that what happened is that at one point, Deadpool was decapitated, but for whatever reason his "soul" decided to stay with the body. The body regrew a head and moved on, leading a dead head lying around. This head would never rebuild an entire body on its own (or it would have done so), but since it was lumped together with all the various "deadbits," it was able to sew together a semi-functional body, and also contained the stored brain memory that you discuss, but not the actual soul behind it, so it's basically a bit like a xerox copy of Deadpool with lower fidelity. Btw, the "each piece becomes a whole" angle was applied once to Lobo, where each drop of his blood shed grew into a fully formed Lobo. It was a weird storyline.

[@timogul]

The thing is, most mutant powers have a dash of magic to them, most involve science that is way outside the realm of human understanding. I mean, Emma Frost converts her entire body mass into DIAMOND, and not just diamond, but diamond that is fully flexible, and also solid throughout (ie no visible organs, just clear from front to back). Science that. So Deadpools cells can live indefinitely without air or other resources, or at least for extremely long periods of time, and be revived once the right materials are present, and can presumably process those resources on the cellular level, rather than requiring specialized cells to process and transfer those materials. Basically each cell in his body would be biologically capable of turning local oxygen and free-floating nutrients into more cells. He could not regrow in a vacuum, would take a long time to regrow in a desert, but could regrow eventually in a normal livable environment. I think at one point he was just a head and grow some vague tentacley things to move that head around until he could find enough organic matter to build more of a body with.

[@csfreak51]

he draws on glass how he normally would draw and then they flip the image around so it doesnt appear backwards to the viewer. some people are simply ambidexterous which is why he can use both hands to draw.

[@Phizzo4real]

“#InfiniteDP” yeah that is so wrong 😂😂😂

[@TheZenytram]

have you ever saw the reeaall deadpool in nature the planaria, you cut an 1/200th piece of'em and still grow a full body of that piece.

[@markcobuzzi826]

I heard that if you also partially slice a Planaria’s front end in half, you could easily end up with two heads connected to one body.

[@taravati181]

because science is the only reason I subscribed because it's the only good show on this channel because :D

[@Nerdist]

I'll allow it. -- KH

[@OCNerf]

So in line with decapitation, in Ultimate Wolverine, Shield cut off his head, but both Shield and Wolverine were surprised that he survived. His body didn't grow a new head, nor head a new body, but rather the cells in his head adapted to breathe through his skin and continue blood flow with his heart. Ultimate Wolverine is different, apparently, in that his healing factor is actually a survival power of sorts that allows his body to adapt as needed to stay alive.

[@jwilder47]

you can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think I've ever seen a video where he has a shirt with a design on it. It's possible that he's drawing normally and they're just flipping the video left to right

[@maGiCpinkBear]

+Josh Wilder I think so too You know the magic of editing xD But I do see sometime he write backward too.

[@evandroa4845]

+Josh Wilder That's exactly what they do. In some videos you can notice how his shirt buttons flip from one side to another. When he writes or draws something that has to be in a certain direction he does it normally and they flip the image, but when he draws something simetric they don't have to flip it so it seems he uses both hands when he actually doesn't.

[@evandroa4845]

This video is actually a good example. At 1:50 his top button is on the left side but at 2:50 (when he's writing) it's on the right side.

[@maGiCpinkBear]

+Evandro A Yeah...That's right. I see it now. Thanks! But anyway this show is still awesome though. It have become one of my favorite series lately :D

[@lonniehammock1352]

I have a really hard question to answer about his regeneration. If he regenerates from the biggest part left I don't really see how that makes sense. How does the parts of Deadpool know which part to regenerate from especially if his brain is destroyed and he can only regenerate from a body part, and how do his parts know which is the biggest part to regenerate from. My thinking is that if his body parts can recreate his brain, then any part of Deadpool would regenerate a new being ultimately creating infinite Deadpools.

[@josephlane5529]

so what would happen if the wound was cauterized? like from the animantium sword in wolverine

[@josephlane5529]

i mean every limb he loses and regrows is spurting blood out of it, but if it wasnt bleeding would it regrow?

[@Oddi0]

It would still run out of oxygen.

[@Sl0thb0yy]

then, like that really shitty deadpool that couldn't even speak, I'm p sure he would die if it was decapitation

[@josephlane5529]

i more meant with his regeneration for every limb not just his head.

[@kaelanirevyruun1676]

lol I only just got the reference in Deadpool where Francis threatens to sew up his mouth and he;s like "Oh... I wouldn't do that..." :P he's not meaning cos it would have any lasting effects in regards to him as a person in-universe, but rather causing the attempted reboot of the character to be written off as just a reskin. And then of course Deadpool would have ended up being the crappiest R-rated film in history according to fans lol

The resources thing. I think it is an unexplained part of both wolverines and deadpools healing factors but they have both at times sustained injuries and regenerated lost biomass without a obvious source. So they have some source of matter to draw on like the hulk or giant man.

This is a question I asked on Facebook so enjoy. "Something crazy just occured to me. When Cell blew hismelf up tp kill Goku one of his cells remained and that cell mutiplied until he was whole agian. But before he blew himself up he was in his second form because Gohan had punched Android 18 out of him. After he regenerated he came back as his final, 3d form. Now we know that because he was blasted so many other times, and because of the nature of the absorption Android 18 and 17 had to fully merge, and, in a way dissolve... into Cell. Yet Cell somehow came back in his 3d form. What if after regernating from that single cell Gohan punched Cell agian really hard. Would he regurgitate Android 17 or even another copy of Android 18? Could Gohan theoretically almost detroy Cell countless times, and each time he came back he, or some other stronge fighter could just hit Cell so hard that he regurgtated a copy of one of the androids? Since Cell will always come back as long as one cell remains, could you just keap hitting him after coming back and make countless androids? "
