Wolverine's bones/ adamantium bonding; Logans muscle build

Just moving this topic from the Wolverine's Claws, because I would like to hear people's thoughts on this.


I think that adamantium bonding process caused unbelievable trauma to Logan's body. Primarily I think in the bonding process the hot metal severed the tendons that attached Logan's muscles to his bones. At least temporarily anyway, because think about it...the adamantium was boiling hot to remain in liquid form and mostly burned the muscle connections like meat on a spit. Therefore Logan's body was in overdrive because it had to re-establish all those connections, in addition to repairing all the other damage that his body was suffering at the time, like preventing poisoning from all the sedatives the docs pumped into him to keep Logan unconscious during the proceedure.

Basically it was amazing that Logan survived at all.

I'd imagine that the embryonic fluid soup that Professor Thorton devised helped with the healing process/sterile environment, but I totally agree. Logan's survival, even with his healing factor, is a certified miracle.

Does the severing of the tendons and muscles from the bones make sense? Because it would explain why Logan was so lethargic in the bonding vat. Even if he had regained consciousness and wanted to move he probably couldn't.

Wolverine would have been cooked from the inside out. Adamantium requires extreme heat to be made liquid and only remains that way for eight minutes. It would have needed to be heated quickly and then pumped into his body through the pores at it's hottest temperature.

Feeds had been arranged ahead of time to evenly distribute the metal over the bones but certainly any tissue that connected directly to a bone (muscle, tendon, lingament) would have been fried. Keep in mind that the largest damage would have been to his head (the skull touches all the tissue, his brain, in particular would have heated to an extraordinary degree).

Wow, good point! Poor Logan, his brain damn near got fried. That could have explained why he almost a vegetable for a period of time afterwards.

Yeah, I figure that's why it was so easy to condition him after the events. His mind was still trying to heal so he was susceptible to influence.

Indeed. The sedatives in his system would have slowed whatever brain activity there was, but since there was no brain to affect, any effects the drugs would have had were delayed. The brain had to regrow itself before it could be affected.

Although....*pondering face* I'd imagine that his liver would filter out all the drugs in his system once they passed through it. Maybe because of the damage due to the Adamantium bonding, the extra heavy metal in his system, and the nanomachines in his body, the liver considered sedatives to be "small potatoes" compared to the rest of the problems.

The healing deals with the most lethal issues first, so brain, heart, lungs (scaled by the ribs) would have been the priority.

Just throwing something in here.

In Agent of SHIELD they had to keep pumping sedatives into Wolverine's veins to keep him knocked out while they fixed him, so I guess Weapon X should've done something similar?

I think they were afraid it would slow down his healing and cause him to die during the procedure.
