Well in the comics, and somewhat scientifically, his healing factor does make him immortal. A person ages due to the slow damage and death of cells and organs in their body. Logan's cells and organs repair and regrow that damage, meaning he won't age and since he can repair any other injury he sustains due to drinking, fighting, or accidents; so long as some part of his DNA still exists he is effectively immortal outside of total disintegration.SomebodyNowhere said:while I would like to see it, I just can't get past how bad origins was. Also it kind of irks me that they imply in the trailers that wolverine is immortal. He can heal at an enormous rate, yes, but that does not equal immortality.

No the Silver Samurai is still a dude in armor, it's just more mech then traditional armor.Retrograde said:Awww, Silver Samurais a robot?
Origins was piss poor and yes I am gonna hold it against this movie. Days of Future Past gets the go, this is a DVD-on-a-sale jobby.
Naw, I think the "human descended from wolves" one was worse.DVS BSTrD said:Dumber then making him an ACTUAL wolverine that had been genetically engineered?

He's also been alive since at least the Civil War in some continuities, and more than once has regenerated from virtually nothing. His healing factor does, for all intents and purposes, make him immortal.SomebodyNowhere said:while I would like to see it, I just can't get past how bad origins was.

And yet, the advertising is still preferable to Blip's.Eicha said:Also, I appreciate that the Escapist needs revenue, but my enjoyment of this episode was marred by an ad for Blue Moon that WOULD NOT GO AWAY and blocked a third of the video window.
