X-23 is a product of the Weapon X program, born from a damaged sample of Wolverine's DNA. She has recently aged up, being saved from the Vault.
Does a Healing Factor heal EVERYTHING?
The mutant Healing Factor repairs the body in ways no normal human can dream of! Missing limbs grow back, third degree burns are gone in minutes, Wolverine even came back from being just eyes and brain. So as the only female character I know of with the Healing Factor (Lady Deathstrike doesn't count as hers is artifical) does this mean that Laura's hymen grows back?
Now I'm not asking this for a perverse Mallrats-esque reason. It's just that if it does heal back, and since X-23 was introduced to comics as a prostitute, and would therefore know that sex would hurt each time, it makes me wonder if:
1: Laura would now save sex for someone she truly cared about.
or
2: As a character who cuts herself when she is emotionally confused, would sex have a different meaning to her?
Did you get this idea from True Blood because a character on there, Jessica, has that same problem.
She was 'changed' when she was a virgin, so everytime she has sex, her hymen is broken :/ poor girl !
but I don't see why it wouldn't grow back, it makes perfect sense since she heals. But yes, if this is true, then X23 will have a serious strain in any sexual relationship she encounters. I hope Hellion is prepared for tantrums.
Wait, wasn't X23 a prostitute for a while?
And yes she was a prostitute
So, I think she's already experienced sex before ... so maybe she knows about it? maybe she's not too bothered then
Oh fer cryin' out loud. Has geekdom not evolved passed the obsession with super hero sex lives yet? Go watch Mallrats... This is not original.
What people think about these days
But yeah it should fully heal
Or maybe it heals in the shape and she doesn't need to -- You know what this is rated R talk in a PG-13 forum. There kids watching and goggling Hymen this instant and wikipedia and encyclopedia dramatica can be very graphic. I know there are classes at school but still I feel Im traumatizing their small sensitive brains, so see ya
haha, this thread is so funny, though I agree. I'm no biologist but I don't see a reason it wouldn't grow back. :/ Though she does have a really high thresh hold for pain so I doubt it's a big deal to her. >.>'

"I think it was stated severe spinal damage could kill wolverine ......or severing his head "
That was when he only had a healing factor, not regenerative abilities; he can now regrow from just a few cells (ala Civil War).

Kids are having sex-ED at 10 years old. I don't think it is a big deal in a PG-13 forum.
And I never actually thought of this. This is actually really interesting. Makes you think. What about her eggs? Do they keep producing or stop when it hits a certain number?
You are born with as many gametes (eggs) as you will need. They mature as you cycle through the menstrual cycle and then are released so you don't 'make' eggs. Humans females have about 2 million eggs, so eventually - provided that Laura does not go through menopause, which does not seem likely - she will eventually run out.
...that's a long way off though...
"it can't heal a broken heart! "
LMFAO!!!!
it can heal anything the human body can eventually heal. It is supposed to be called "accelerated healing factor"
It cannot heal mental damage. Anybody's healing factor is only a physical mutation, so only physical damage can be heal.
" So this would also mean wolverines uncircumcised no? "No. Wolverine's healing factor activated when he was in his early teens (see Wolverine: Origins, the six issue mini series). Can't say whether he was or not...just that his healing factor would not have been in play at the time. The wound would have already been healed (if he was), meaning it would not have grown back.
Depends. Deadpool can heal from anything because death made it so he cnat enter her realm by cursing him with immortality to the extent that even somebody like thor cant kill him (any normal guy thats just immortal could still die by a random guy with a 9mm though) Hulk's healing factor probrobly ends by the poitn he is distergrated to dust scence thats the worst state he has been in...meastro to be more specific.
" wouldnt it depend on whether or not the Hymen was broken before her x-gene activated in during puburty or since she is a clone has she had the healing ability her whole life? Either way i think she would be able to easily tolerate the pain "They forced her healing factor to active when she was just a kid, so she should still be a virgin since its doubtful she had sex yet or she was molested/raped which wasn't mentioned in her origin
But it does suck if it keeps growing back because it ties even more emotional baggage considering her past as a prostitute and the healing means she ties sex with pain/abuse, further closing her off from a romantic relationship

You know I thought about this the other day, especially with regards to Laura "never being able to lose her virginity."
By the same token, Daken and Wolverine would never be able to have a vasectomy because it would just heal. No wonder there are so many little Wolverines -_-
