Yeah, the healing factor stops the Adamantium from poisoning him. It's not related to protecting inter-bone transfer because his bones aren't covered in an impermeable layer - that was only an additional question to "how do you 100% coat a bone?"

Travis343 posted:I don't know how you guys think joints work but even if every bone was 100% coated in adamantium you'd still be flexible and you'd still be able to lose a limb. The question would be how do you 100% coat a bone with metal without completely removing it from the body, fusing it to the adjacent bone or accidentally coating a ligament with it but Comic Book Science. Yes, that's the point. His bones are covered, but not his joints.

Travis343 posted:I thought that was because Adamantium was toxic, though? I thought the inter-bone transfer thing was brought up in the original Genosha arc way back when (or conceivably in an OHOTMU or other summary of that story), though it's entirely possible that I'm mistaken. E: I have some vague memory of a (IIRC) three-issue series that was basically 'Wolverine's published history' in largely text format with the occasional B&W art reprint; it could have been that. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

It bothers me that adamantium toxicity is a thing. If something is toxic, it is chemically interacting with your biology. If it chemically interacts with things, you can change or destroy it chemically. Adamantium is supposed to be incorruptible eternal-metal.

Real medical science uses silver and gold that way, but if you drink enough of it you turn blue or orange permanently, and according to House, you can poison people with gold.

Hey, given Thor's casting of Karl Urban as Skurge, I'm probably going to be asked questions about the character by my friends who like Marvel films and don't read Marvel comics. How the gently caress do you pronounce "Gjallerbru?"

I think it's like Heimdall's horn, so Yallerbrew if that's the case because I've heard heard his horn pronounced as Yallerhorn and it's spelled the same way (Gjallarhorn). Who knows if that's the correct pronunciation of the horn, but I've heard it pronounced that way more times than not.

Was the Ultimate comics line supposed to have an end date or was it supposed to be on going, it did have a good 15 year run but I wonder if the plan was to just keep it going side by side with the usual comics?

The fact that Bendis/Bagley nailed it made it easier to sell as an ongoing, expanding universe. But then the problem became "Oh, so I need to catch up on 8 years of events+crossovers". Which isn't terrible when your properties have 30+ years of continuity, but at some point the weight of it undoes the purpose of the experiment. Or you got terrible, uninspired series' like XMen or FF, which boiled the Ultiverse into "like {character} but {twist}". They probably would have spent a good deal of effort to rejuvenate it had Iron Man/the MCU not panned out.

They make a really huge deal of it in the Marvel vs the World or whatever book [the prequel to the Punisher one, full of zombies] when Hulk is mad enough to rip off Wolverine's arms, something everyone thought was impossible. I mean dumb non-canon storyline, but yeah.

Yeah, Wolverine has gotten his head hacked off in at least one other What If and I think something Warren Ellis-penned, even though it doesn't really seem possible under normal circumstances.FilthyImp posted:It honestly seemed like a cute little experiment to reinvigorate the line. The real problem is when writers realize they have freedom to do all sorts of things they couldn't in normal continuity, which means diverging not only from normal continuity, but the basic setting of "Earth as we know it, but with capes". And though that might seem interesting to the writers penning it, it creates a whole new level of things that need to be explained on top of all the complicated superhero shenanigans.

In Marvel Universe vs. Punisher/Marvel Universe vs. Wolverine, they have what basically amounts to Hulk with the 28 Days Later rage virus becoming angry/strong enough to tear off Wolverine's arm at the elbow. He then goes on to wear the skeletal hand as a necklace and the Punisher eventually kills him with an arrow fashioned out of one of the blades. Wolverine does eventually grow his arm back, but without the metal.

I think a lot of the tone and ideas from Ultimate ended up getting folded into mainline, so it'll always have a legacy in that sense. Especially since it served as an inspiration for key parts of the MCU, which now inspires stuff in the comics, so it's there by osmosis as well.

Ultimate Marvel was so successful, it became redundant. Regular jumping-on points, easily-collected story arcs, the whole sense that you might love the farm but the cows aren't sacred, even the actual creators involved plus a bunch of people working in the same creative idiom—all that stuff lives in the regular Marvel comic line, now, not to mention the movies.

He was a supporting character in the first two stories where the Punisher one had Wade self-aware about what he used to be and what he's become, but without the conviction to do anything about it. Then the Wolverine one has Wolverine do this desperate pep talk about how he knows Deadpool can hold his poo poo together when he really needs to. The third book really should have brought closure to what world with Infected Deadpool saving the day and probably following up on that whole "Thor lost his mind, killed Hercules and Ares, then flew away never to be heard from again," plot point. Instead we got an unnecessary Hawkeye story that had nothing to say.

One thing that always made me smile from that first miniseries is how one of the first infected incidents was a bunch of children going apeshit at "a Nyack mall." Nyack does indeed have a huge mall and at the time of that story, I was working there.

Okay, here's one that bugged me today while I was watching Apocalypse. When the Marvel logo comes up and flashes a bunch of comic panels, I feel like it used to be panels from the comic of the movie you were about to watch. Now it's just the same random panels for every movie. Am I just seeing things or did a shift occur? Because I swear if you had a keen eye you could tell the panel flash was X-Men or Blade or whatever. I tried tonight and I got nothin. Could've been ROM comics for all the detail I got.

I think it used to be like that in the early days, but maybe Marvel has control of the logo, and makes Fox/Sony use the more generic panels.
