Someone explain Hulk tearing Wolverine in half
Was this an actual event? Was it some kind of 'What if?'

In Ultimate Hulk vs Wolverine, Hulk rips Wolverine in half (lower body from upper, not down the middle) and tosses said halves in different directions. Wolverine wakes up, sniffs out his lower body and starts slowly moving towards it so he can reattach himself.
It was no What-If or even a joke, it's in the normal Ultimate Marvel continuity, and therefore canon regarding Ultimate Wolverine's endurance/healing factor.

The miniseries is still unfinished. It was supposed to be five issues and it's been like a year since the second issue came out.
Also I'm pretty sure that Wolverine got ripped in half because his spinal column non-Adamantium-plated discs in between the vertebrae.

WHAT THE FUCK!?? How the hell can he re-attach himself when he's torn in half. Does his regeneration power have limits?In Ultimate Hulk vs Wolverine, Hulk rips Wolverine in half (lower body from upper, not down the middle) and tosses said halves in different directions.

Limits on Wolvie's healing have been discussed before. The answer is no, there are apparently no limits to his healing.

Ultimate Wolverine can die, but apparently there was some stupid retcon of 616 Wolverine that makes him truly immortal, so if he dies he goes to this limbo dimension, and he can choose whether to "step into the light" or not, and if he chooses not to, he ressurects. That's apparently how he regenerated when Nitro burned him down to a skeleton.

So then why does he need to eat? I seem to recall a similar thread describing him coming close to starving to death (although, he did save himself by eating his own flesh and having it regenerate, but that's not the same thing). Wouldn't his cells simply "heal" from nutrient-deprivation?TheDarkling wrote:As absurd as it may be, he would most likely heal the damage caused by oxygen deprivation.Superman wrote:Why not just drown him?

Or, it could be him hallucinating on account of his brain being totally cut off from all sensory input on account of every part of him not protected by adamantium getting turned to ashes by Nitro.OmegaGuy wrote:Ultimate Wolverine can die, but apparently there was some stupid retcon of 616 Wolverine that makes him truly immortal, so if he dies he goes to this limbo dimension, and he can choose whether to "step into the light" or not, and if he chooses not to, he ressurects.

Some of us would prefer that Wolverine's cellular regeneration not being the cause of his survival in that instance.Matt Huang wrote:Or, it could be him hallucinating on account of his brain being totally cut off from all sensory input on account of every part of him not protected by adamantium getting turned to ashes by Nitro.

While I'm no expert, I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night. I recall hearing some comicky friends talking about this, and they seemed to say that the only way to kill him would be to somehow chop his head off and separate it from his body in such a way that the two can never be rejoined. Like, chuck them into deep space, or something.
Of course, maybe Wolverine's head will just grow a new body, or vice versa. Like I said, I'm no expert on the subject.

Disintergration, no molecules, nothing to heal, end of story. I think its fairly preposterous that Wolverine's healing factor went from almost killed by a sword through the chest and heart wielded by Kitty Pride that then put him out of commision for months while he healed to ripped in half or completely incinerated save for his brain protected by his adamantium skull and coming back in minutes.Bluewolf wrote:Is there any way to kill him?!
Can we call this Silver Age Wolverine as opposed to the Golden Age Wolverine of the Claremont/Miller era?
I have always wondered how a character that was always meant as a second stringer hero at best got to be the flagship character of Marvel. He's an interesting character but really in the end, Spiderman summed him up right in a classic issue where he casually bitchslaps Wolverine (and the rest of the X-Men for that matter) "You're nothing more than a thug with pig stickers in your hands."

In one of the Early ultimate X-Men arcs Sabertooth claims the only way to kill him and Wolverine is by drowning them. He attempts to drown Wolverine in a river but gets clawed in the nuts. Wolverine doesn't really comment on how effective the drowning was though.TheDarkling wrote:As absurd as it may be, he would most likely heal the damage caused by oxygen deprivation.Superman wrote:Why not just drown him?

I think that the difference in healing ability -- from the merely extraordinary to the completely ludicrous -- was explained by the fact that the admantium in his skeleton was holding it back. Once it was removed, it got way more effective. I don't know what happened when he got the adamantium back, since I wasn't following events at the time.Stravo wrote:Disintergration, no molecules, nothing to heal, end of story.

73% of all statistics are made up, including this one.

Really? I haven't read the stupid issue in question, but from what I've heard it was some mystical bullshit about where Wolverine's soul goes after his brain IS destroyed.Matt Huang wrote:Or, it could be him hallucinating on account of his brain being totally cut off from all sensory input on account of every part of him not protected by adamantium getting turned to ashes by Nitro.OmegaGuy wrote:Ultimate Wolverine can die, but apparently there was some stupid retcon of 616 Wolverine that makes him truly immortal, so if he dies he goes to this limbo dimension, and he can choose whether to "step into the light" or not, and if he chooses not to, he ressurects.

Given the guys ability creates blood cells in lieu of his bone marrow and presumably grows all his flesh in premium condition I can't really see any reason why it wouldn't just heal the damage.Crazedwraith wrote: In one of the Early ultimate X-Men arcs Sabertooth claims the only way to kill him and Wolverine is by drowning them.

Of course that is ultimate Wolverine so he may be different (although the thread is about ultimate wolverine).

From what I've heard, in one of the comics he actually survives in the wilderness by eating parts of himself.
