Wall Banger/Comic Books: Difference between revisions

** To put that in perspective: the creators of the ''X-Men Origins: Wolverine'' game considered having a scene where Wolverine was skeletonized by a nuclear meltdown and could briefly be controlled as a walking skeleton. They dropped it because it was too over-the-top. For a ''video game.''

** According to the 2008 ''Logan'' miniseries, on August 6, 1945, Wolverine was in Hiroshima when the nuclear bomb dropped on it. He was in the blast radius. This bomb killed 140,000 civilians, but Wolverine survived - and no one else in the blast radius did. Mark that in your history books.

** In the early 1990s, Wolverine nearly '''died''' in the "Fatal Attractions" storyline when Magneto ripped the adamantium out of his body. That's far less an injury than what Wolverine would effortlessly live through later.

*** He has been [[nerf]]ed down. Shortly after the aforementioned battle against Nitro, Marvel pulled an [[Author's Saving Throw]] with a convoluted Wolverine arc, which explained that a supernatural entity (some kind of [[Our Angels Are Different|Angel of Death]] guardian) used to [[A Wizard Did It|magically bring him back to life every time]] (after the blast from Nitro in "Civil War", after the "Fall of Avalon", during "Enemy of the State" and many other times), but only if Wolverine managed to defeat him in battle. After a conversation with this guardian, Wolverine at last told "death" that he didn't want its help anymore, even if that meant (as the guardian warned him) that his healing factor would return to what it used to be (that is, ''not'' at a "regenerating from a single cell" level).
