What Are The Limits Of Wolverine’s Healing Factor?

One of the most recognisable things about Wolverine’s character is his healing factor. It’s his primary mutant ability and he can recover from a variety of wounds. Some might assume that his healing factor makes him indestructible, but it’s important to note that Wolverine’s abilities don’t make him immortal. Many times he’s been pushed to the brink and here I take an in-depth look at Wolverine’s healing factor, including what he’s survived and what his limits are.

Logan Review

Superhero films are as popular as ever, bringing people of all ages to the cinema. There have been so many that it could be argued a familiar pattern has emerged. There’s action, banter, big CGI battles and plenty of fun. And then there’s a movie that comes along and transcends the genre completely. Logan is that movie. Here is my spoiler free review that looks at Hugh Jackman’s final outing as Wolverine.

Understanding The Legacy Of Wolverine With X-23

With the release of Logan just days away, Wolverine Week comes to an end with a look at X-23. The character will be making her screen debut, played by Dafne Keen. Before the movie comes out I feel it’s important for people to understand who she is and what makes her different to Wolverine.

Wolverine: Back In Japan Review

In the run up to Logan, I decided to visited my local comic store and picked up a Wolverine graphic novel at random. I chose Wolverine: Back In Japan because I have a fascination for the country, where some of the greatest Wolverine stories have been told. It’s written by Jason Aaron and the art is handled by a number of people including Adam Kubert, Ron Garney, Billy Tan and Paco Diaz.

The Pop Culture Playlist: Wolverine

Wolverine Week continues with everyone’s favourite feral mutant getting his own music in The Pop Culture Playlist. Logan has seen a hell of a lot in his long life, so I wanted to create a playlist that reflects the man and the animal inside him. Here are ten tracks that describe the journey of Wolverine.

Who Is Wolverine’s True Love?

As someone who’s lived for over a century, it’s only natural that Wolverine has been in love with many women. From Jean Grey, to Silver Fox, there have been many who’ve caught his interest. A common trait that binds these women is that they die tragically for being close to him. Some have survived, but their relationship with Logan has never been the same after. But out of all of them, who can be considered Wolverine’s true love? Here I examine some of the women he’s loved and lost and give my opinion on who holds that place in his heart.

Manipulation, Bisexuality And Badassery With Daken

Throughout his life, Wolverine has loved many women and developed many fatherly roles. He’s acted as a father to Kitty Pryde, Jubilee, Amiko and Pixie. Logan will also be the debut of X-23 on the silver screen, who as his clone can also be considered his ‘daughter.’ But I’d rather put the spotlight on another of his children. Daken is Wolverine’s biological son. He was born in Japan in 1946, when Logan settled down with a Japanese woman called Itsu. Daken is everything his father isn’t and I’ll explain why.

What Japan Means To Wolverine

In the run up to Logan, I’m going to be doing Wolverine Week. This will be a week of Wolverine related content, ranging from the people around him, to understanding who he is as a character. All of this will lead up to my review of Logan when it comes out in the UK on March 1st. To kick off Wolverine Week I’m going to be focusing on his relationship with the country of Japan. The Land of the Rising Sun has been a home and battleground to Wolverine over the years, and here is what it means to him.
