Wolverine metal claws vs bone claws

hey guys do you like Logan with metal claws or bone claws. to be honest i never liked the bone claw idea cause in my opion its kind of stupid. i like that weapon x gave him his claws along with his adamantium skelaton cause to me it sounds more grusume and more gritty then the metal just covered his bone claws. which if that was the case it would not be all sharp but would be boney like. love to hear your opion.

At first, I was very excited when everyone first found out that he had bone claws underneath the Adamantium! But the story lines resulting from that were pretty weak and are probably my least favorite out of the ones Ive read so far. I understand the trauma involved and the reasoning behind it, but it wasnt handled well. Overall, I like him with the metal claws, it fits his moniker as the ultimate killing machine!

I like the bone claw idea quite well, metal claws though is his trademark.

Bone "Claws" doesn't make much sense, biologically. Let alone for cutting.

"proper (re)bonding" made for a more healtastic wolverine... but without adamantium he'd heal even greater.

Wolverine has always had bone claws, weapon x never gave him the claws, they just gave him the adamantium and i think the bone claws make him look more feral and make him a more realistic character, but the adamantium makes him more unkillable soo

well in the x-men 2 movie stryker said he gave Logan his claws and in x-men 1 Jean Greys x rays of Logans bones clearly showed his claws were metal implants yet in the Wolverine origins movie there bone claws makes no sense to me. i thought in the comics that weapon x gave him the metal claws but when Magneto ripped the metal out of him the writers gave him the bone claws cause Logan without claws would be weird or something.

I like the idea that he always had claws but I hated it when he lost his adamantium despite the fact that it was one of the most awesome scenes in a Marvel comic ever

his adamantium claws are like 10x better. if he had bone claws then he couldn't cut through near as many things, thus making him much less a threat.

does anyone have a scan of Magneto ripping out Wolverine's adamantium I know its off topic but it looks cool

Metal claws.

@Sir_Deadpool: Yeah, Wolverine's healing factor has literally gotten so strong it can regenerate his limbs, organs, and braincells but his claws as well, so even if you broke off his claws he'd just grow new ones sooner or later.

I understand that, but if those stories of old future Wolverine are to be taken into account, shouldn't his healing be getting worse with age? Surely he can't still be in the prime of his healing, can he?

@Sir_Deadpool: yeah, but its pointless because that problem wouldnt happen in the first place with adamantium ones.

#18 Posted by Sir_Deadpool (461 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago - Show Bio

@infonation: thanks a lot. did not know that his healing factor is this strong

@marvelftw: Yeah you're right. I prefer adamantium claws too

i like the fact that the claws were already part of his skelinton and that the metal was added to them.

If he had bone claws he would be faster since he lost 100 pounds of his antimantium exoskeleton and his healing would be faster too. We all know the metal claws are his theme maybe it should be down for Laura. wouldn't healing bones and making them as weapon mean he be little bit like Marrow. He will have to ask how she does it

@LordHuntingrathII: Actually, I think Wolverine's healing factor steps in and out, when he was first intruduced he was able to heal minor injures very quickly, but after awhile he became able to recver from some very nasty wounds indeed! Sabertooth was the same way, when he first appeared he was a main enemy of Iron Fist and he wasn't much more than a very strong thug with a costume and a gimmick that loved to give poor Irin Fist a hard time. Now he's capable of going toe-to-toe with Wolvie like it's all fun and games. Yes I know we can just blame writers and editors for this, but it could actually lead to some pretty decent character development! After all, for the most part, Wolverine needs his healing factor just to SURVIVE! So what happens if it ever goes away?...
