    I've read about this a few times but I can't  acknowledge it. Besides why Bullseye isn't sick. He has adamanium in him  and no healing factor to help. I think it's a stupid idea the comic authors came up with.

    Imperfect vs perfect formula.
    Bullseye's adamantium was inserted by Lord Darkwind, the creator of the Adamantium bonding process

    Adamantium has been stated to be poisonous many times in canon. Wolverine was dying from adamantium poisoning when the High Evolutionary stripped all mutants of their powers (X-Men #99).

    Wolverine has had dense bone claws since he was a child. They weren't coated with adamantium until Weapon X coated his skeleton. Wolverine was also better without the adamantium, by all accounts. He could run faster, jump further, heal quicker, etc.

    I'm confused.
    Is it because of the poisoing ability adamantium can cut anything so easy ?? Like muramasa blade but weaker?? 
    It is indestructible but that doesn't mean it can cut through anything very easy, I think  x_X

    No it isn't. It was just done right.

    It's simple. Wolverine's original adamantium bonding process wasn't done perfectly, thus the adamantium became poisonous.
    His current adamantium does not poison him, and as such his healing factor is more effective.

    The prevous adamantium was meaking Logtans healing factor weaker. Without it he mutated. Now he has not poisoning adamantium. So why he isn't mutating again.
    This part of Logans story is the most confusing for me X |

    So in conclusion: 
    -adamantium itself isn't poisonus
     -the bonding proces was too primitive and the result of it is health impairment
    - if you insert a small sample of adamantium under the skin of the normal human then nothing would happen
    Right ?

    it was an ongoing story that spanned various issues not just taking place in one comic.
     
    in wolverine issue #102 logan was still bestial both physically and mentally. he ran into a drug dealing kid and killed the supplier out of self defense and was about to kill the kid too but chose not to he felt pity for him and allowed him to live. compassion was the 1st sign of the man reasserting over the beast. logan was able to recall a woman crying and piece together that it was the boy's mother. he made him go home. also memory was another sign that logan was slowly regaining self awareness and not just the gibbering beast personal he had for a while after the feral transformation.
     
    at the end of the issue he ran into elektra   and went into issue #103 
     
    she was sent by stick to retrain logan back to the path of the warrior in hopes of helping him remember who he was. he trained with her and traveled with her to Greece where logan was now able to talk and stand up as well as use MA skills instead of the animal personal taking over...
     
    logan just kept improving little by little throughout various titles and storylines.

    I was wondering about this a while ago. Apparently there was an explanation of sorts. 
     
    @k4tzm4n said: 

    " I decided to search through my back issues because I've also been curious about this.  Here's the dialogue:

    Dark Wind:What is next is the combination of the old and the new.  You will submit to surgery.  Your damaged bone will be replaced by metal...That is the new.
    Bullseye: An' the old?
    Dark Wind: Treatment with herbs to insure that your body will not reject the artificial parts---And prayery to his Kami...The god of my household...A warrior god. (holding up a head)...Either you will die or you will recover very rapdily---within a week. "

      Adamantium, like any other metal or foreign object is poisonous to the body. Logan's HF had to work constantly overtime to keep the poisoning from killing him, which it managed to do while slowing down his HF to other injuries. It doesn't matter where the metal is, as long as it is in the body, it is causing some form of harm to him one way or another because that's just how it works. As far as Bullseye, MArvel almost never fully explains everything, but if that herb thing is true then there is your answer. But that's the benefit from having an alternate universe from ours. Not everything for us applys to them because they can make up whatever they please and leave answers open ended for that very reason.
     
    And as far as the abilities for Adamantium. It is a supersharp fine metal, meaning it is keen enough to cut through anything as long as you can put enough force behind it. Things like flesh and bone don't need a lot fo force, but Wolverine has been seen cutting through some pretty tough and thick material over the years. And if you look at the guy, he's really built. So the effectiveness only depends on the strength and skill of the bearer, not so much the metal itself.

    wait wait wait, so wolverine was basically gonna end up looking like sabretooth but they put the adamantium in him and it stop his mutation then the adamantium got taken away and he stop his mutations from porceeding just by pure will power and not he has his adamantium back again? Also adamantium isnt poisonous just the primitvie process was?  
     
    That sums up the questions i htink

    Whait !!
    I get the whole idea. Everything is clear for me, answers above are very well-chosen. 
    But I have one question.
    When metal gets in body.
    Does his presens makes people sick or his decomposion.
    Because it makes difference.

    He is not mutating again because the adamantium is still on the skeleton. Even though it is not poisoning him anymore, it is still preventing any physical changes.

    There are several grades of adamantium and several different ways we have seen it grafted to skeletons. It is possible that Apocalypse has also created a new type of adamantium or bonding process that no longer kills the body in which it is contained.

    or.... you can also think of the process used to make adamantium as the reason to the adamantium poisoning. the original weapon X project required a nuclear reactor as part of the creating and bonding process. it could be argued that method could cause adamantium poisoning due to the radiation process. i'm just throwing it out their since i recall prof cornelius dumping radioactive waste on logan when he escaped and was hunting him down.

    @Mr.AllAboutWolverine:  
    Marvel Comics Presents issue 83. Although we see in issue 84 that it was an illusion, they were using actual environmental settings for the memory implants in the Weapon X base. So it did have a nuclear reactor.

    Very interesting theory. I like it.
