comic question...

[crushallthatiam]

as i was cleaning up the graphic novel section, an old question came up: if bane broke batmans back a long time ago, how did he go back to non-brokey-back?

also, my job is pissing me off bad. i think they seriouslly hate me enough to go out of their way to schedule me badly. jerks.

I'm surprised Zach didn't jump on here the second it was posted to say, "How dare you sass The Bat!" If memory serves correctly it was Dr. Leslie Tompkins who provided him with the surgeries responsible for him being able to get back on his feet again.

Honestly, in a universe where Superman comes back from the dead it's not too crazy.

That sucks that your job is giving you trouble. Sounds kinda like John's in that his supervisor is trying to find things to give him a write-up for. Hopefully it's just some passing phase.

[crushallthatiam]

thanks dude. on the same topic, right after i posted this i wanted to ask about superman too. was it one of those multi-verse things? or did he actually come back from the dead?

and yeah, that sucks for john. i know how that can be.

can wolverine ever die? me and another fake comic nerd were arguing that because he heals he can never really die. and i used to have a comic with him bursting out of the grave so i'm assuming he can't. but he says if you chop off his head he can. ?

[crushallthatiam]

well, if you could get his head off(adamantium skeleton makes that pretty hard to do) i suppose he might. in a comic he's been completely incinerated down to his skeleton and still healed up again. so yeah, not really sure.

[jojoferret]

The Wolverine thing is a little tricky. Since he ages at a greatly reduced rate he would eventually die of natural causes. Things that would kill him, the rate of his healing factor, and the durability of adamantium depend greatly on who is writting the book at the time.

[crushallthatiam]

yeah, i've noticed he'll heal much quicker with certain series.

[jojoferret]

Wolverine has always struck me as being a very story driven character because his personality and the stories he's involved in seem to be the bigger draw than his actual powers. I mean healing factor is kinda lame as far as powers go. It's really more of a fringe ability compared to the rest of his character.

that's one problem i have with him, they're constantly shoving more history at you. i mean, now he's apparently a evolutionary off-shoot that's been alive for thousands of years? i mean, come on. when does this end?

[jojoferret]

Aw man. I didn't know about the evolutionary off-shoot thing. Reminds me of Powers though. I know originally he was supposed to by a Hyper-evolved wolverine and not really in fact a human, but that Marvel didn't like that idea.

[crushallthatiam]

yeah, it's going on right now. wolverine fights sabertooth, wolverine has a flashback to a different time period, sabertooth gets away, rinse and repeat. like the last five issues have been that. apparently, in evolution where we came from monkeys and share similar genes, he had the exact same thing but it's lupine and not monkey. so instead of homo-sapien he's homo-lupine, or lupine-sapien...i suck at that stuff. so yeah, wolverine is a wolf...kinda.

[jojoferret]

I love how once the movies started up he went from being like 4'11" and similar to a wolverine (hence the name) to being like 5'8" and having this whole wolf theme to him.

[crushallthatiam]

kinda like daredevil looking more and more like afleck. i'm just waiting for them to make the thing more like that dude from the shield.
