Who knows what o.g. wolverine has in their pants? They may as well be hermaphrodite... The question assumes too much :)

[–] baines@piefed.social 3 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

in comic universe, wolverine’s power works off of some metaphysical idea of what his existing body should be and so the dick would grow back

now if someone wanted to argue there was a mental component that'd be fun but i don't think we’ve had any story evidence to that affect

Wolverine does sound quite feminine. Should have called them Vulver

[–] mech@feddit.org 2 points 4 hours ago

Vulver sounds like Vulva, which sounds very feminine.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 50 points 18 hours ago (4 children)

Not to sound like a chud but he's biologically male. His Y chromosomes aren't just gonna disappear, he's gonna grow his dick back.

And it'd happen before the surgery was even over

[–] Quexotic@infosec.pub 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

He was blown it a bunch of tiny little bots once and restored to his prior shape. He's trapped in that body.

[–] galacticboy2009@lemmy.today 1 points 4 hours ago

Little bits I'm guessing?

[–] Nouvellalia@lemmy.world 40 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

Y doesn't contain "dick information" it contains "dick infrastructure schedule information". The infrastructure builds and maintains dickindustry.

The only thing that makes a dick and balls is a hormone signal at a specific stage in a fetus' life. Wether or not a fetus gets that signal dickindustry or pussyindustry will continue as the existing structures dictate. There are plenty of XY pussy-ovary births and XX dick-testes births due to this fact. The people usually never find out, as they lead normal lives.

Though I agree with you that her dick would show back up, that's because her regeneration is magic, not science, and the comic gods said she had a dick and that's that. It would take a big arc for her to get a pussy, old gods or time travel or dimension hopping or something.

Maybe a deal with Loki that gave wolverine a snarky, chaotic neutral pussy with its own agenda? Also, stop misgendering our beautiful wolverine!

So you're saying we need to dismantle the Penile Industrial Complex?

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 2 points 5 hours ago

dismantle the dick PIC ? that's a tall order

Big Penis cannot remain in the hands of the few! The thrust of history must bring the boons of big Penis to the masses!

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca 2 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Why saying her? Wolverine is a male and uses he. Or did I miss a comic story line.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

If Wolverine had bottom surgery, what would it imply ?

[–] baines@piefed.social 3 points 4 hours ago

isn’t the whole point to not associate plumbing with pronouns?

if we're taking this thought experiment to the logical end we should continue to use existing directed pronouns until told otherwise, or ask for clarification politely

[–] Nouvellalia@lemmy.world 9 points 13 hours ago

Yeah sis, you missed the arc in this thread.

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 2 points 13 hours ago

Or have someone else pick up the mantle. They probably changed it back to Logan by now though. I'm not been up to date in the comics

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 13 points 18 hours ago

Yeah, I think trans Wolverine would be even more trapped by biology than other trans persons. She would need some cutting-edge gene-editing treatment to remove/replace the Y across much of the body. As a native CA person, I believe she'll have quite the wait to get that treatment, and I don't think there's a DIY option that could work for her.

Trick question. He is a futanari and already has a vagina in addition to his cock.

[–] Fleur_@aussie.zone 16 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

At first I thought dick, but then again their bones regenerate as adamantium so maybe regeneration does preserve surgical modifications.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Wolverine's bones would like to regenerate, but the adamantium is in the way. This prevents regeneration. The implications of this should be obvious. Wolverine's gonna need an adamantium dilator.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not deep enough inthe lore, I assumed they just burned his flesh/muscle away and plated the bones letting everything regenerate back over them

[–] FrChazzz@lemmus.org 9 points 13 hours ago

In The Wolverine, his claws are sliced off by an adamantium sword and the bones regrow. The adamantium does not regrow.

[–] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 8 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

I don't think the bones usually regenerate

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 10 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I think they do when they are bones. The adamantium doesn't break, so it don't need to regenerate.

[–] Fleur_@aussie.zone 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

What happens if you cut wolverines arm off then? Does he need to get the bones back and hold them in place before it heals?

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 8 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (3 children)

The more you ask questions the more the unreality of the situation shows, so I guess it would depend on the writer.

You couldn't normally cleave or smash an adamantium bone, so it would much harder to dismember Wolverine. You'd have to cut ligaments and tendons carefully to avoid the bones, while fighting the regeneration at the same time. But, I think if you figured out some way to separate part of the adamantium skeleton from Wolverine, when the a new part grew to replace the removed part, the new part would contain "normal" bones.

That’s what happened when Magneto stripped him of adamantium. It fucked Wolverine up bad but he recovered and went back to how he was until Apocalypse put it back in him.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 4 points 14 hours ago

The bones are coated in adamantium if memory serves right so presumably if you cut through his bone it would just regrow normal bone then everything else. Wolverine has had the adamantium ripped out before and while excruciating he did heal back up, he has also been disintegrated down to just his adamantium skeleton at least once before which seems to have effectively killed him but that was also the days of future past storyline so who knows maybe he could've regenerated from his eyes, but also there's a version of wolverine who's down to a stump on one arm but then again Apocalypse was involved so who knows what was going on with that.

So in summary, data inculclusive.

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

You'd have to cut ligaments and tendons carefully to avoid the bones, while fighting the regeneration at the same time.

What about a powerful explosive device? Perhaps delivered with a significant amount of kinetic energy. Like a HEAT round from a 120mm cannon? To that should be able to rip limbs off. Maybe we'd be entering "ship of Theseus" territory here? Or multiple wolverines, each with their respective adamantium parts?

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

multiple wolverines

I can only imagine that some part of the brain has to be involved for the regeneration to produce a Wolverine. But, I could imagine at least two Wolverines, one non-verbal, regenerating from different parts of the brain.

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Wouldn't the brain regenerate completely? That is if the cranium is split.

The premise for my thought experiment was, that every bone was intact, and they were just separated at the connecting tissue.

Wouldn't the entire body is able to regenerate from a single part, without every tissue type present? I mean not much point in regeneration, if all it takes to disable you is removing both your eyes simultaneously. Actually that would answer the original question on the removal of external sexual organs. I mean, cut off the balls and there are no balls to regenerate from. Remove the penis and there's no cavernous tissue etc.

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 2 points 12 hours ago

I disagree that there "no point" if destroying the brain (not the eyes) is death.

I disagree that any part has to be able to regenerate, we lose cells all the time, and being able to cut off a toe and create a new person is, to me, a very different power from regeneration.

I agree that regeneration can create tissue types that are not present. The edges of the regeneration are probably the stem-iest of the stem cells and capable of "becoming" any other cell.

I think the "person" of Wolverine is most strongly embodied in the physical "shape" of the brain created through experience. New brain matter would would like not "contain" a Wolverine (at least initially). Parts that were only bones, tendons, ligaments, muscles, etc. might regenerate, but the don't "contain" a Wolverine to grow into. But, we also know there are (at least) two thinking things inside each brain, one in each hemisphere, so I can imagine if the Wolverine brain is separated we might get multiple Wolverines -- or we might get a Wolverine and some other things.

Would be easier to answer if his regenerative powers were consistent

I'd like to see a surgeon attempt any kind of surgery on Wolverine. As soon as he is cut he immediately starts healing.

Wolverine's healing factor only takes a few minutes to go from bare bones to nerves, blood vessels, muscles and skin.

[–] Lojcs@piefed.social 47 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Damn, when does it get so buffed? Reading 80s comics and his healing factor is "can sleep off a knife wound in a couple days" strong, not "regrows muscle in the middle of a fight"

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 47 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I think you're misremembering. In 1978 the X-Men went to the Savage Land and a dinosaur seriously chomped his arm. He basically shrugged it off saying he "heals real fast"

Wolverine's Healing in 1978

His healing has been dialed up and down over the decades, but unless it's disabled (and he starts getting heavy metal poisoning), he heals from serious cuts in minutes at the most.
