[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [qb] AndrewR: [i]"Isn't Miss Marvel another name for Jean?"[/i] No, Ms Marvel was Carol Danvers, an old name long forgotten by kids these days, from the golden days of the 80's. There are a whole heap of Marvel-women with "Marvel" in their names so it's easy to miss it, actually. [i]"All these people with Adamantium implants must be healers like Wolvie - well we saw Deathstrike have that ability."[/i] Healing factor is not a prerequisite for adamantium grafting. I don't remember if Deathstrike has it herself in the comics, but it cannot be added to a person, that would totally tear down the uniqueness of those fortunate few. It's bad enough with all this increased adamantium-activity... Logan has (along with the animal senses) the healing factor since birth, it's why he's a mutant. That's also why no one knows how old he is. [/qb][/QUOTE]Actually the Admantium grafting process was made by a crazy old failed kamakzie pilot named "Lord Darkwind" (crappy comic translation, no doubt) and was first seen when Daredevil broke Bullseye's back for him killing Electra (sound familliar?). The Kingpin smuggled the paralized bullseye to Japan for the process and DD follows. BIg Frank Miller story about honor and stuff results in Bullseye gaining Admantium bones and Darkwind and his son dying...leaving Yukio the sole surviving family member a bit screwy and without purpose in life. Yukio learns those shifty Canadians in he Weapon X program stole her dad's research and that's a big slap inn her family's name and honor. Yukio shows up in Alpha Flight as Lady Deathstrike sometime later to kill Wolverine (as he's the living embodiment of the theft and her father's dishonor) and guess what? she fails. More dishonor. Deathstrike sometime later strikes a deal with Spiral (of Mojoworld) and is re-created in glorious cybernetics and her arms "grow" into claws as strong as Wolvie's but not made of Admantium. She now has a nice machine like healing factor and super strength and regularly gives the midet mutie an ass poundin' in the comics. So you see: no healing factor required for admantium bones if done correctly but the Weapon X 'ers either have a bad japanese translator or never got the whole formula. Watch Deathstrike nearly end Wolvie's life in X-Men 205 (with barry Windsor Smith Art to boot!) As to Rogue: she was originally a mean bitch that took on and almost beat the Avengers in Avengers Anual 10 and her powers work just like the movie except in the comic she gains all that person's memories for the duration and sometimes a strong personality can do a posession thing on her and take over. If she uses her powers on avictim (like Ms. Marvel) too long she'll permanately gain all that persons powers but also their personality: resulting in multiple personality disorder under pressure.
