The Internet Is Debating If Wolverine Can Cut His Own Claws Off
Thanks to mass lockdowns due to the novel coronavirus COVID-19, fans all over the globe are [...]
How Would THAT Look?
This gives me a mental image of an X-Man walking into the room as Wolverine attempts to glue the cut claw back on
"Aww geez, Beast, it happened again"

I mean, Marvel comics would look pretty silly is Wolverine was always having to repair his own claws! And the one thing comic books can't do is be silly!
prevnextWould've Happened By Now...
Can Wolverine cut his own claws off? I mean obviously he could only do one hand....but you’d think if he could he would have fucked up once or twice and cut a piece out of one or whatever

Comic writer Donny Cates makes a great point, which may be the only point needed: If Wolverine could cut off his own claws, he probably would've slipped up and done it at some point, in one of the battles he's fought.

The answer is yes and no.

The writer wants it to happen, it happens.
The writer wants them to be indestructible, they're indestructible.
The writer wants Wolverine to run around in a thong bikini. . . well. . . you know the rest.
Maybe THIS is the only real point to make? It is the medium of comic books we're talking about here - so really, the mythos is whatever each creative team makes it. So look forward to that "Wolverine suddenly cuts off his own arm," storyline, coming soon!

I'd say the amount of force that would take is more than wolverine is capable of, atleast with 1 hand.

Of course, it didn't take long for the science experts to weigh in on comic book fantasy. So if you're interested in what kind of force is required to for a person to sever his or her own arm, follow this thread. Or just watch 127 Hours.

I picture Hulk or Thor takin a big adamantium axe to em, that'd do it.
— Sebastian Wright (@Clouded_Nomad) March 23, 2020
Of course, it didn't take long for a discussion of physics to go right back to being a discussion about comic book fantasy. Apparently, Wolverine could lose an arm, provided one of his powerful friends (or enemies ) swung that Adamantium axe.
prevnextHot Claw Problems
According to the countless places on the internet where people have asked this question— adamantium can only cut adamantium if it’s heated up.
So let’s hope for Logan’s sake that HOT CLAWZ is no longer a thing!
— Steve (@ComicsSteve) March 23, 2020
For a lot of fans, the official answer to this question has long been that heated Adamantium is the only thing (barring mystical or cosmic metals) that can cut Adamantium. So, technically speaking, Wolverine would have to be very careful with those Hot Claws Marvel tried to throw at us.
prevnextThis is Canon
This makes that canon now yeah?
— Justin👈😎👉Richards (@EmoComicWriter) March 23, 2020
If an actual Marvel Comics writer says it, does it automatically become canon? Because if it does, we want a new writer!
prevnextNot Doing Your Job!
Don't they pay YOU to tell us if wolverine can cut his own claws off??
— Kyle Blackwell 🐎 🏀 #MFFL (@kxb3604) March 23, 2020
Some fans point out that coming up with answers like that is exactly what a comic book writer is paid to do. We don't have to do Donny Cates' job for him!
How do you feel: Is Wolverine impervious to his own Adamantium claws? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
