Was old Wolverine healing factor able to let him regenerate another limb?
Probably not. In the 80s he would be disabled from a bullet wound for hours.
>>144635958Thing is, his adamantium skellington protects his bone marrow so he wouldn't be regenerating the whole thing.
No. Originally it really was just a healing factor, something that let him heal from regular injuries a bit faster. If he got shot by a bullet, instead of taking months to recover, it'd take him weeks and it'd still leave a scar. When his adamantium was removed in the 90s, they turbocharged it so that he could regenerate from injuries within moments and from there they just kept jacking it up to the point where he could regenerate his entire body from a skeleton as long as there are some cells left like Lobo.
Like what >>144637242 said, it just gave him the ability to heal from things that ordinary humans could survive a lot faster. Wounds that would take months would take weeks, weeks, days, hours, minutes, etc. He would still die if he were lit up by a dude with a machine gun because his organs would be too torn up to heal from the trauma, then the 90s got a bit retarded with it and they kept upping the ante since then.
>>144635970>>144637242>>144637538As always Claremont got it right and then people fucked it up.
>>144637242The ideal set up should have been no adamantium, claws in gloves.
>>144637564In the just-published Madripoor Knights Claremont himself used the regenerate-from-a-skeleton healing factor even though it doesn't even make sense for the time period.
