From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

These are the actual marvel universe entries for Wolverine from the Marvel Universe that specifically state that the character has a Superhuman regenerative healing factor, not a metahuman regenerative healing factor. This is official Marvel canon.

The information provided in those links is more than 15 years old. The version of the OHOTMU was written years before the storyline in which the Adamantium was forcibly removed from Wolverine's skeleton by Magneto, his healing factor burning itself out to keep him alive, and the eventual return of his healing factor operating at higher levels than ever before. Also, if you read the definition of a Superhuman Regenerative durability rating it states: "able to regenerate injured tissue and brain cells to an extraordinary degree; but not able to regenerate missing limbs or organs."

Metahuman Regenerative durability states: "able to regenerate injured or missing brain cells, tissue, limbs, or organs."

Now, Wolverine has repeatedly regenerated eyes that have been completely gouged out on multiple occassions, and eyes are listed as organs in any Anatomy and Biology book I've ever read. In fact, Wikipedia also lists eyes as organs under their article on the eye itself. The Marvel Handbook doesn't state he can heal certain organs, but not some others. A Superhuman Regenerative healing factor states that an individual isn't capable of regenerating limbs or organs at all. Now of course, since this is a fictional character, it's all of course open to interpretation. However, given what I've seen and read about the character over the past 15 years or so, his healing factor simply operates on a higher level NOW than it did when the information provided in the links above was written.
