Stupid Questions and Hopefully Stupid Answers!!!

[cenquist]

With the talk about the shape changers on the podcast it got me thinking. What other items out there make good questions? Throw one out there and go from there, when that question is answered well enough....or not well enough. Ask another one!!!!

First off!

If a character is invincible, what happens to his finger/toe nails and hair? Do they grow? And if they do, how does he cut them?

[labor_days]

What are the rules, exactly, for Zatanna's magic?

Does she need to reverse only the words or the grammar as well?

I.E. "siht si diputs" or "diputs si siht"?

Because some writers do reverse the grammar. Others, just the words. Very frustrating.

The question has weighted heavily on my soul for decades.

I know that Superman has to use a special reflective mirror from his kryptonian ship to reflect his heat vision. he uses it to shave (i have know idea where i know this from though)

Mr. Fantastic does it all stretch ?

[enragedostrich]

When the Thing poops, does it come out as a rock or actual poop?

If it comes out as poop could you imagine trying to clean that up with huge stony hand? He MUST use a bidet. That’s the only way I see that it’s possible to clean it up.

If it's a rock where does he poop? He can't in a normal toilet, and if he does the next guy walks in and says "What the F*** some one is dropping rocks in here for.”

There you go, the stupidest question ever asked.

[kahunablair]

The rules of Magic allow her to do it either way. It's not the words, it's there intent.

Yes.

Regular Poop. He uses a specially created bidet/toilet system built by Reed.

Last Son.

Okay not to split hairs but... that just tells us that he can't have a child with a human. It says nothing about if sex would kill said human.

Just sayin.

[labor_days]

How/why would Superman kill someone during sex?

Supes is capable of incredible control over his power field. He can manipulate it through willpower alone.

The guy is, um, careful.

[xyzzy]

Okay, so I know Wolverine has an unbreakable adamantium skeleton (most of the time), but why doesn't someone just pull him apart or slice him up? It's not like his tendons are made of adamantium, right?

This thread is nerdy as hell.

I am ashamed of myself for putting so much thought into the question of the Thing's poop.

Although, there is some comfort in that Kahuna knew the answer. Which is both gross and fascinating on a number of levels.

Awesome. Okay, so follow up question: Assuming that he can regenerate, wouldn't the bone regenerate sans adamantium?

[labor_days]

Question: If you rip Wolverine in half, does his torso grow a pelvis and legs, while his bottom part grows a torso?

Wouldn't that imply there are multiple Wolverines?

Could one, theocratically slice off Wolverine's toe and grow a wholly new Wolverine for their own purposes?

[charlie-blix]

Awesome. Okay, so follow up question: Assuming that he can regenerate, wouldn't the bone regenerate sans adamantium?

Damn. Thats a great point.

Another one is, If you rip off his head does he grow back from the neck down or from the neck up?

Conan once cut off Wolverine's head in a 'What If?' and it reattached itself. I think the way his powers work, he'd just pull himself back together.

[kahunablair]

Luthor's right. They don't show him regrowing like a Starfish. It seems to be more of a healing back seperated peices.

[labor_days]

Conan once cut off Wolverine's head in a 'What If?' and it reattached itself. I think the way his powers work, he'd just pull himself back together.

So, if I cut Wolverine into 5 pieces, and lock each piece in an adamantium vault separated by a 1,000 of miles each- Wolverine will not be able to regenerate?

Or would I wind up with 5 Wolverines inside adamantium vaults?

BURNING QUESTIONS

I think that the top half would grow legs but the legs are fucked. I mean, even if they still have super regenerative powers, where are they going to get the mass to grow a top half? The top half can at least eat food.

Conan once cut off Wolverine's head in a 'What If?' and it reattached itself. I think the way his powers work, he'd just pull himself back together.

He's like a T-1000?

[kahunablair]

Which ever Vault has the head will get the new Wolverine. The rest of the body parts just die.

[charlie-blix]

Or would I wind up with 5 Wolverines inside adamantium vaults?

BURNING QUESTIONS

I'm guessing he wouldn't be able to pull himself together. He wouldn't be dead... just indisposed.

[luthor]

I've never read it, but I think that's why Wolverine only has one hand in Age of Apocalypse. Didn't it get cut off and kind of fall away.

[kahunablair]

As I remember it, yup.

[xyzzy]

Why doesn't Scott Summers get some Ruby Quartz contact lenses?

[labor_days]

Which ever Vault has the head will get the new Wolverine. The rest of the body parts just die.

This is the kind of no nonsense answer I needed.

Does everything grow back in proportion? Or is Wolverine forever stunted when say an arm grows back just a bit shorter than before?

Also, did his package grow back as it was before the Hood shot him?

[paper]

Iconography.

EDIT: Also, he'd look like Gambit.

He slowly grows back to his orignally old self.

Yes, Lil' Logan is just fine.

[kahunablair]

But what about contact lenses? Why couldn't Scott just do that?

For years, dedicated readers of the X-titles suggested this very idea,
only to be confronted with the facts: Scott can't wear contact lenses
because the beams come out of all of his eyes, not just the iris area.
A number of back issues regularly showed Scott covering his eyes with
his hands if his visor was broken, with red energy seeping out from
around his eyes. Apparently Scott isn't susceptible to the damage of
his eye blasts, just like he and his brother Havok were shown to be
immune to each other's powers; something in his DNA ensures that his
eyelids are not immediately blown to bits, so covering his eyes with
his hands makes enough sense.

And now we are back to the problem with how his bones grow back covered in adamantium

[kahunablair]

And now we are back to the problem with how his bones grow back covered in adamantium

Nope. Regular old bones. That's why they always show him plopping his limbs back on.

[xyzzy]

Okay, so Wolverine bits won't grow a new wolverine. But do they die? If you chop off Wolverine's finger, will it decompose like any other piece of tissue, or is it ageless like Wolverine himself?

What if you grafted it onto another person?

[owlboy]

If Jack Knight made it a point to wear welder's goggles when he had his cosmic staff; why doesn't Courtney Whitmore who's now using the exact same staff do the same?

Only in comics...

[charlie-blix]

Just so everyone is aware... this is the best thread ever.

[labor_days]

http://i32.tinypic.com/aky33n.jpg

Last Son.

If this is so... In Kingdom Come why does Wonder Woman get impregnated?

Did Batman sneak one in? Or is it perhaps because Aphrodite, the goddess of love, gave her the power of Wonder Woman and super fertile breeding powers? Cause no other human can have Superman’s child?

[owlboy]

Diana's technically not a human; she's living clay.

[labor_days]

Wonder Woman is not human. She is a wholly magical being*.


*Recently, the Wonder Woman of New Earth was given the ability to transform into a human when as she wished. But her true nature is still magical.

Thats what I was going for in my Mr. Fantastic man junk question. I love that movie.

[kahunablair]

I would love to see a villian that got so desperate he sews Wolverine's cut off ear to his back... OR he goes to that bar and grabs Lil' Logan and that stitched to him!

If Jack Knight made it a point to wear welder's goggles when he had his cosmic staff; why doesn't Courtney Whitmore who's now using the exact same staff do the same?

Just started this series. He wears the goggles because of the wind when he flys. Nothing else.

Wait, so Wolverine can't regrow bone?
How does that make sense?
Wait... so you buy a man can regrow entire areas of his body, but you stop at bone? Seriously?

[owlboy]

Really? I thought it had to do with the brightness

[labor_days]

Wait... so you buy a man can regrow entire areas of his body, but you stop at bone? Seriously?

I think you misread me.

What I am saying is if the metal that coats his skeleton prevents the bones from regrowing; how does he regrow his arm after it's been cut off?

[kahunablair]

Really? I thought it had to do with the brightness

Nope. He grabs them while he's putting the "costume" together and mentions the fact that the wind is killer.

[kahunablair]

I think you misread me.

What I am saying is if the metal that coats his skeleton prevents the bones from regrowing; how does he regrow his arm after it's been cut off?

If the arm is cut off, won't that mean the bone was cut? He just joins the two visible bone sections.
If it's cut at the joint/tendons, he just holds the arm in place until the tendons re-grow and reconnect the bones.

[labor_days]

I could have sworn Jack Knight wore the goggles to protect from the glare of his staff. They were anti-flare goggles specifically.

Where did I read that? Hmm.

[kahunablair]

I'll have to double check when I get home. I could have swore the wind was the reason.

Suppose Wolverine's arm got blown off in space by a Skrull battleship. A Kree spaceship picks him up afterward. There is no way for Wolverine to recover his arm, it's been sucked up by a black hole...does Wolverine regrow a new arm entirely including the bone & tendons?

[xyzzy]

[luthor]

I'd imagine it would. It just wouldn't be unbreakable.

Then why didn't the hand grow back in AOA?

[kahunablair]

Then why didn't the hand grow back in AOA?

Praise be to Wiki!

Apparently it had to do with Cyclops shooting his hand off. It cauterized the wound or something and caused his body to heal over the hand rather then regrow.

Kind of like the time he had all his bones broken. They just healed. It didn't matter that they didn't heal right. He was a weird crooked cripple.

[labor_days]

Wait, so how did Wolverine come back when all the skin and muscle in his body was burned away by that one guy in CW issues?

[paper]

What if Wolverine were encased in metal. Let's say that he was then broken into pieces and those pieces were immediately encased in metal.

Done?

[esophagus]

Wait, so how did Wolverine come back when all the skin and muscle in his body was burned away by that one guy in CW issues?I think the "official" thing was that the adamantium around his skeleton protected his brain, and he regenerated from there.

[kahunablair]

There's a difference between a burn and cauterizing. I'd imagine they'd explain it away like that.

[valoharth]

He would just heal into the shape of the container.

[esophagus]

What if Wolverine were encased in metal. Let's say that he was then broken into pieces and those pieces were immediately encased in metal.

Done?Yes. From Xavier's Xavier Protocols:Code 0-2-1 (Wolverine): "Since the loss of his adamantium, Wolverine has become both more and less of a threat. He is divested of his unbreakable skeleton - but his senses and his mutant healing factor have been increased to incredible levels. What would have been a lethal wound to Wolverine three years ago would now be a momentary annoyance. Any assault on Wolverine, in the event of his sanity breaking, would have to be long-range and decisive. His head would have to be severed, and removed utterly from the vicinity of his body to prevent swift flesh and nerve regrowth."

Edit: That's obviously dated, though. Comics + Continuity = Always changing.

[kahunablair]

What if Wolverine were encased in metal. Let's say that he was then broken into pieces and those pieces were immediately encased in metal.

Done?

His body would regrow like the Liquid Terminator and we would get Iron Wolverine!

I did indeed. You had much better seats than I did. I was in Row Q, orchestra. Had to deal with people getting up for beers every 15 seconds. And it was a little difficult to hear some of the banter between songs. Still a blast though. Loved the new songs. And I was so glad they played Bus Driver Song. One of my favorites.
