Can't wait until some madman tries to amplify that power to cover the entire globe or something.
Note, this is just a random villain idea I pulled out of my ass. This is not a spoiler for the game. Made you look.
Heavy metal poisoning is a slow process so a single night being completely nullified wouldn't kill her or Logan. Not to mention only Laura's claws are metal, not her entire skeleton like Logan. A few minutes with their healing factor reactivated would quickly clear any issues.
unless their healing factors work like Deadpool's
Depends on the substance and the dosage. Arsenic poisoning can kill in less than a day, and toxic dosages are usually expressed in micrograms, not kilograms. Given the extremely toxic nature described for adamantium and that it takes the majority of Logan's healing factor to counter it, we should probably compare it with the worst examples.
That too.
For Logan it might be different because it's his entire skeleton, but Laura only has the claws so I really doubt she'd get so terribly ill in just a few hours. Also not to mention that near the end of chapter 1 Null can turn his nullification on or off at will.
Depends on the substance. With arsenic, for example, it is toxic because chemically it acts the same as phosphorus, but it forms weaker bonds. Your body uses it like it would phosphorus to construct different proteins, etc. but those proteins break and don't work properly, messing things up. Different heavy metals are toxic for different reasons, so it kind of lazy to lump them all together as "heavy metal poisoning."I'm not sure I get why Adamantium is toxic. The stuff is supposed to be virtually indestructible, where as the toxicity would have to be tiny amounts (single atoms probably) bonding with (probably) blood to make some new chemical which has deleterious effects, but given that it is (virtually) indestructible single atoms of it can't be breaking loose or it wouldn't have this property. I suppose it could be acting as a catalyst to form something really nasty, or it might give off some form of extremely localised radiation which is super harmful, but that would imply that Adamantium has a half-life (although granted it could be extremely long and still dangerous, like some of the radioactive waste products from Fission)
When Magneto ripped out his adamantium his healing factor ramped up a ton because it took so much of it just to keep him alive with all that shit on his bones. He's not the first they tried to put adamantium on and it killed all the other patients because they couldn't heal to keep themselves alive like Logan.
As an English as a 4rth language person let me offer some advice. Don't try to read it first, skim it then imagine someone actually talking like that.
Wait, did they really make adamantium toxic (I don't read the modern garbage Marvel excretes), that's just dumb. Radation posioning would be much more dangerous to someone with a healing factor.
To be fair, the grafting process itself is extremely invasive and traumatic. Given that adamantium is "indestructible" once set, I always imagined it involved pouring or injecting molten metal directly onto the bones. When I was younger, I assumed it was due to the nature of the procedure itself that Logan was the sole survivor, not due to the nature of adamantium toxicity. I wasn't the most avid reader, but it wasn't until Magneto ripped out Logan's adamantium and his healing factor became supercharged as a result that I became aware of adamantium toxicity being a thing. Does anyone remember exactly when that happened, because . . .
if it became canon after the point in which the game is set, and the creators are willing to ignore canon events that occur later in the storyline, it is possible to just ignore adamantium toxicity. As I mentioned, I never liked the idea anyway.
As Paracelsus wrote, "Alle Dinge sind Gift, und nichts ist ohne Gift; allein die Dosis macht, dass ein Ding kein Gift ist." or "All things are poison, and nothing is without poison; the dosage alone makes it so a thing is not a poison." Even oxygen and water are toxic to humans in high enough concentrations. The human body produces trace amounts of formaldehyde which is necessary for its proper function but becomes extremely toxic even in dosages slightly higher than that necessary amount. So, yes, it is reasonable for something acting as a catalyst accelerating normal metabolic functions resulting in some usually benign chemical being produced in such quantities that it results in it being toxic. Without knowing which metabolic processes are influenced and what chemical is being produced, it is impossible to know how toxic it would be and how quickly it would produce ill effects in the individual. That being said, I still think adamantium poisoning is stupid and would prefer it to be non-reactive. Okay, I'm going to bed for real this time. Hopefully by the time I wake up, someone smarter than I has figured this out or one of the devs gives us a word-of-God answer so I can stop wasting so much of my very limited cognitive function on this. Sometimes I hate being a nerd.
If they add Gambit they'll also be trying to write a Cajun accent along with the others. Being born and raised in the American south myself I've grown used to hearing our speech get completely slaughtered by actors in movies and TV shows giving us Hollywood's poor rendition of our dialects, so I've let their little faux pas with Rogue pass. They're just minor compared to the butchering Hollywood does.
Which is why I prefaced it with "occurs in the bones, joints, ligaments or soft tissue that contacts those". There are tons of reactions that occur in major organs (especially the digestive tract) that could result in a lethal imbalance but the biggest thing I could see when it comes to bones would be something related to T cells given the functions bone marrow serves, since Logan doesn't die from a common cold means that his bones must still be porous or at least not be completely encased (assuming adamatium itself isn't porous) so there is still a fluid exchange of some kind going on. I was just trying to imagine what it might be.
fair point, unless we know the catalytic effects of adamatium we can't diagnose it... still fun to talk about it though.
The damage from radiation poisoning comes from mutated DNA or damaged proteins (prions), which should make caner 10x worse.
I have the same problem with Slavic accents. Seeing American actors speak like any Eastern Euro is cringe-worthy, especially when other characters look in the camera and say how perfect their pronunciation is. It's especially bad with Russian. I just look at it like people from Kazakhstan look at Borat.
Fascinating insight, however might you not get some sort of evolutionary effect whereby, if your healing factor made all cells, good and bad go into overdrive, then you would be almost immediately destroyed by damaging cancer cells, thus that particular mutant line would be cut from the gene pool (no relative of Deadpool
), thus making "positive" mutations much more prevalent?
