What about when he gets an injury over the tattoo and the flesh gets remade? I imagine with how often he gets injured most tattoo would go away rather quickly.
Hi Cody :)
I think and also what others have said, he would only regen his skin if the skin where the tattoo is located would be destroyed since the ink is a foreign substance to his body.
indeed
Codyyyyyyyy please reply to me
Holy crap, Cody's here!
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
His white blood cells all have tiny little claws of their own.
lol
Exactly.
Actually his claws Are part of his mutation. The metal in them was added.
116 people got the joke, but you managed to miss it. Here's your sign.
Claws are made of bone and are coated with metal.
***** Google words "Wolverine bone claws"
i think they way the tattoo in the comics are temporary is because he gets ripped open and clunks blasted off him so many times that the flesh would just be replaced with not tattooed flesh
how about 'Can Thor learn science and be a TH-camr' ?
First he does need to learn about electromagetism.

#PoopaTattoo
Now we wait for someone to get a tattoo of poop.
Your show is the only reason I subscribed to this channel.
I think the logic behind Wolverine's tattoos having a shorter time to fade has more to do with 'skin pushing out bullets' than 'skin stitches itself back together'. Pigment is a foreign object, often riddled with impurities, and would likely be pushed out of his flesh on a much more active timeframe, rather than being broken apart.
Fine with me. -- KH
if my tattoo is green would my poop be green?
Wouldn't the ink be forced out because its a foreign object like the bullets
I don't think so, because ink isn't a solid object, unlike lead.
One other way that it would be gotten rid of is that he could get damage to the tattoo (like losing a chunk of skin, not like a cut) , and heal the wound without the tattoo. Also, his healing factor wouldn't recognize the small damage from the implementation of the tattoo (see Deadpool vs. Squirrel Girl)
true, but don't forget that with the size of the holes it may take significantly less time to heal, besides as a liquid it will be pushed out due to the space its filling is being shrunk from the bottom to top of the hole
I thought the same & that the nature of his healing factor is that it's perpetually trying to return his body to it's natural state (ya know, without bullet holes or with those missing body parts attached & so it would see the ink the same as a bullet & expel it through the same hole it came in through (I was always kinda pissed that his son Daken, who also has the healing factor had tattoo's because, how would he). I dunno, I'm thinking this time, maybe Because Science might actually be not right(?)
0:50 Wolverines body rejects a bullet.
Why wouldn't it just reject the ink in the exact same way?
I was going to say the same thing.
Kevin Padilla same
Because the body sees the bullet as a foreign object. Melanocytes collect the ink as if it was your body's natural pigment. When those cells die, the free pigments get picked up by new cells underneath. That's why you don't shed your skin color during dermogenesis.
@@WDCallahan Except his healing factor also breaks down any foreign object in his body. They discover this when the adamantium is ripped from his body by Magneto and his healing factor efficiency skyrockets, because they discover that his healing factor was constantly trying to break down the adamantium in his body, but couldn't as it is indestructible. So if you tattooed him with an adamantium based ink he could get the tattoo, otherwise his healing factor would break down the ink as it would be identified as a foreign object because it isn't a part of his base organic make-up. He doesn't just heal damage through cell division, his healing factor also breaks down any component introduced to his biology. This is also why he can't get drunk, because it breaks down the alcohol before it can affect him
@@xiphos8219 Doesn't that just makes things worse for him? If he's healing factor breaks any component introduced to his biology, then it probably kills symbiots bacterias that we don't naturally produce but are essential for our living. So basically Wolverine's healing factor would be more like a "suicide" factor on the real world.
Daken has tattoos and I'm pretty sure he has his father's healing factor
Super Sablei THANK YOU
Steven 30pm ok
Daken has a weird tattoo that's more akin to genetically engineering so that it's part of his DNA when he regenerates. It doesn't really cunt as a traditional tattoo and points out the most obvious reason why.Wolverine cannot maintain a tattoo. It would get physically cut off or disfigured and he'd regenerate his normal unaltered skin instead of keeping it.
Cellular regeneration also doesn't remove bullet from your head. → there is more to his power. Just fast regen would stuck that bullet in his brain, just like it does with wood chips.
Only if the bullet fully penetrated below the skin initially. As it did not, the skin could not come together over it and the regenerating tissues beneath it pushed it out so that the skin could then come together. Otherwise you are correct. Bullets that penetrate completely into his body, such as into his chest or abdomen would likely not be extruded.
Kevin Davis It damaged his brain so one may safely say that it get under skin.
Mr.Vojtik
Wrong movie. You're thinking about Wolverine: Origins where he was shot in the brain with an adamantium bullet. This was in X-Men 2 where he was shot in the head with a regular bullet. Never goes below the skin in the scene; it's pretty clear.
Kevin Davis Of course, normal bullet can't pierce through adamantium.
Since he's been shot a good number of times, during an x-ray we should see a bunch of this, assuming he wasn't man enough to cut them out...which he probably is.
Listen mate, we all know 1:30 was just an excuse to show off your guns, don't hide it. ;)
...maybe... -- KH
+Nerdist so was 3:04
What guns
Burned XD
i saw no guns
That final scene with hugh jackman. that reaction was literally the same as mine X'D
I think all he would need was to have tattoo ink containing adamantium dust so his body couldn't remove it!
or is this too obvious?
but if his skin can push out bullets, wouldnt it push out the ink the same?
I was going to post the same thing.
No it wouldn't unless he lost a limb. He can have tattoos but they have to be applied in a way that would be hard to do
yeah me too. i think its safe to say that in wolverines case its not white blood cells that are pushing foreign matter out of his body. there has to be something else.
the only way the ink could last is if his system would not detect something as foreign matter as long as it merely penetrates the upper layers of his skin, and doesnt go any deeper. that is entirely up to speculation.
I don't think so. In the example I used the bullet is forced out because the wound is shallow (just a layer of skin against the forehead). The closing of the wound is what moves the bullet, not regeneration itself. Plus in the comics he can physically receive a tattoo. Combing those two factors I believe it would stay. -- KH
well Deadpool was once defeated by Squirrel Girl because the squirrel scratches were so small that they didn't actuvate his healing factor. So if you go with the assumption Deadpool's healing is a 1 to 1 comparison to Wolverine then the pigment would be too small for his healing factor to kick in potentially.
It wouldn't last either way, given how often he loses his limbs.
That almost never happens. The only time I can even think of it happening was in Age Of Apocalypse's alternate timeline where Cyclops blasted his hand off. Logan's bones are covered in adamantium, he's not Deadpool.
bf3ram
Over-saturated, more like. You realize that people can correct false statements without being defensive fanboys, right? I was actually happy when they gave the character a peaceful end. Then they brought Old Man Logan into the main universe....
thank you!!!!
Wolverine doesn't loose limbs all that often due to his adamantium skeleton.
No but what he do loose a lot is skin cells... a lot of it. I mean they even show a clip of him with all his skin burned off. That would certainly take care of that tattoo.
kyles reaction to logans "360nophysics" had me in stitches
Im so glad you explicitly said tou poop out tattoos, because thats exactly where I went with it when you first said tou excrete it.
You had me at 'Tattoo-ine', but then killed me with #Poopatattoo XD
XD
pootoo
So one I recently thought of that(I think) you should cover, is in Fallout 1 it's explained how the FEV virus makes super mutants immune to radiation
Is such an actual thing possible though? For an organism to be completely immune to the effects of any deadly form of radiation?
Be cool for you to answer Kyle, because science
Cockroaches are immune to radiation, or at least very resistant.
Seabears
You mean waterbears, right? Also known as tardigrades.
First 30 seconds of this is WHY i watch because science. The questions asked are GREAT!
but if wolverine could get shot and he bullet is ejected then wouldnt the same be able to be done with the ink?
not what i wonted to put actually, I think the bullet thing is only because it hit his skull covered in Adamantium, thus it would pierce the skull, staying where it hit, and falling out, not so much ejected. Which then begs the question of if he is shot, does that mean bullets would stay in him? Well depends, if he is fighting the US military then, no. The US military uses FMJ rounds which are designed to injured, not kill. Do they kill? Yes, but that's because of shot placement. FMJ (full metal jacket) is supposed to create small channels in the body to injure or incapacitate someone, so it would go all the way through wolverine, if it wasn't disturbed by his skeleton. Hollow points are a different story, since they are designed to expand upon impact to slow it's kinetic energy down so that it does not go through someone completely. So if a bullet stops in his heart, lungs, or other organs where there is isn't muscle tissue to reform around it to push it out (assuming it literally stops and doesn't go outside of the organs) then it would still be in his body. But it also depends on how fast the ink can get into the holes in his skin. Honestly, it could but even a decently small-scale tattoo would take hours to do because the ink would be sticking into the skin right because of his healing factor. So I guess the answer is yes and no, it would be trying to push it out but I feel enough would be in the skin and the fact that the ink would also dye the skin that is reforming... so he could, but it would be a much longer process then a normal human would.
I think, I could 100% be completely wrong on this, but yea... those are my thoughts.
Well that scene in the movie where wolverine got shot in the head and the bullet came out of his own was all wrong firstly it would have never penetrated his adamantium skull 💀 it would have damage his skin however giving him a nasty headache because of the force of the bullet hitting his extremely hard skeleton but it wouldn’t have penetrated. And let’s say it would have for whatever reason as it happened in the movie he wouldn’t have been able to restore himself so quickly by ejecting the bullet out. His brain would have been turn to mush so in the latter case were it possible he can heal a mashup brain 🧠 condensed like a 🍜 soup it wouldn’t had been instantaneous
Well he’s got a foreign object on his bones adamantium yet his body wont pull it out because it can’t. The only thing it can do is slowed the poisonous factor in his body by reducing wolverine’s healing factor by half his healing factor is working nonstop the whole time simply because of his metal bones that is why when he loses his healing factor he starts dying quickly even if he isn’t hurt. And that is the whole premise of old man Logan the poison caused by the adamantium in his bones had caught up with his healing factor weakening him
Anthony Scott the ink would stay, the wound because of the tattoo would be gone, the real problem is that, wolverine gets into so many fights that, that arm can be ripped off and he would have to grow another one, tattoo free.
But ... if the skin bearing the tattoo were destroyed, the tattoo wouldn't still be there when his cells regenerated, would it?
The ink isn't an original part of his body; it's a foreign substance. Logan would regenerate his skin, minus he ink, surely.
Same point I just made... should have scrolled down first.
But then how would I steal all of your credit? :p
Meant I should have scrolled down first :p You had the same idea, just an hour before I watched the video.
yu nofun Oh, right. You win, then. You took all my credit. Grrr. I'll be all right, though. lol
The white cells that are in charge of taking this tiny pieces of the ink, are the neutrophils and the macrophagues, they dont actually dissapear when skin regeneration occur
Macrophagues and neutrophils "eat" the ink molecules and carry them to our regional lymphonodes and they sit there actually, untill we die, if the molleculle of ink is too big, these whit cells could not eat them, instead they would just sit arround the "strange object".
About the skin regenration, the skin layers that are being regenerated are above the injury not below.
I've got a question. Do zombies poop? what happens to all the flesh they eat its gotta go somewhere right?
this needs to be answered.
Great question, I was going to say that the meat would get putrified and turn to oozing nasty liquid and come out of their wounds all gross like, but if so that same process should liquify the zombie itself...
+Sacremas yea this a question ive had going for awhile
zombies are nonsense. as you have just discovered. no energy cycle means no movement
No. their stomachs burst open after eating too much.
Laser tattoo removal videos are so satisfying to watch
First video I've watched from this channel. Subscribed :D.
but if his body pushes out foreign objects wouldn't it just push out all the ink
the chewie man thats exactly what i was thinking
Yes. This is the only answer I accept.
His body isn't necessarily actively pushing out foreign objects, his regenerating muscle layers are simply moving them out of the way as they heal, otherwise the adamantium bonding would have never worked and movie Logan wouldn't have had that adamantium bullet stuck in his head.
Not right then and there if you paid attention when he got shot in the head
that was one of the best jokes i've ever seen Kyle
The ending had me laughing so hard.
I assume he'd lose the tattoo when he gets his arm cut off or some other superhero thing.
or when he gets burned down to bone and muscle.
his arm can't get cut off
+crapstirrer his bones are adamantium
Jordan Steele I'm sure someone could do it with some fuckin magicantium or some other made up metal designed to break adamantium.
Only... there isn't anything like that. Even Adamantium has trouble damaging adamantium if I recall, though Magneto HAS ripped Logan's skeleton out once. The bottom line is that, yeah, The tattoo would be gone.
2:50 Sound of skin healing or Zerg units loading into an overlord?
Definitely the latter.
Also there's a solid chance I may have incorrectly spelled 66% of the words in that sentence..
Nailed it. -- KH
haha, nicely spotted. that is indeed the sound they used i think
I did the research for this a long time ago and came up with the same result great video.
speaking of which, I always wondered in Deadpool's case: since he can regenerate massive wounds (such as his head being blow off). If you removed Deadpool's head from his body and kept them in different rooms, would the body regrow a head, and the head regrow a body? Leaving you with 2 deadpools?
so basically if logan want to get rid of his tattoo, he goes to scott summers
or cut that layer of his skin and let it regenerate.
Lol
+OhhLoz IKR
Actually not! Scott blast is a concussion blast not laser! ;)
hey Kyle, what if humans could double jump
It would be awesome, duh.
+Tim Boie No shit but like I mean,how would we gain from it?
we can climb I guess but I think our legs would've to be much stronger to compensate for the fall from a greater height.
+Aditya Patel Damn I forgot about humanity's enemy"gravity"
+The Real “Elhomiederp” our bodies would look very weird.
wow your intro was my exact reaction to the title !!!
Your TH-cam channel is amazing I watch it every day
To take this to the next level- How would the feeling factor affect his tan? would he have a harder time getting a tan? or would his tanned areas- after receiving massive destruction- grow back as pale???
He shouldn't be able to get a tan at all! xD
his increased healing factor wouldnt affect the natural regrowth rate of his skin cells, otherwise he would be shedding skin all the time, and a normal tan that increases the levels of melanin in the skin would not be damaging, so he should be able to get and maintain a tan like any normal person.
That said, if he was sun burnt so that his skin had become damaged, the sunburn would likely quickly heal back to pale skin, and if his tanned skin was ever damaged it should grow back pale, as new skin cells have lower levels of melanin pigment.
trick question, all Canadians are already pale
Logan would look like a spotted whale if he got a sunburn. Some parts would heal back pale, others wouldn't be damaged enough to heal.
I can also assure you that he's uncircumcised.
ummmmmm...the 'feeling factor' XD
y'al can feel me? Y'All CAN FEEL ME, BUB?! COZ I'M FEELING!!!
Looks like that test tube thing brought back bad memories.
F***ING MENISCUS -- KH
+Nerdist answer my question kyle.
I AM BUSY HATING ON THIS MENISCUS MIRO, IF THAT IS YOUR, REAL NAME. -- KH
+Nerdist dnt hate the miro hate the question lol
+Nerdist bet dan would answer the question..
hey dude I saw you on a commercial for how to build anything, congrats!!
well you mentioned at the beginning that his body quickly expels foreign matter, like bullets, which would suggests that the body would expel the ink, and also because of his enhanced healing it is likely that the ink would have some trouble permeating faster than he healed so even if he got a tattoo it would likely look spotty until his body expelled the foreign material
When I was little I thought u had to make a tattoo your skin color for it to go away XD
Questions I have:
- How the hell does Marvel's Cyclops see? His eye ray thingy is permanently on.
- When Emma Frost goes all diamond, why doesn't she die?
- In the first X-men film, Wolverines claws are shown to start around his elbow and go right up to his knuckles. How can he bend his wrist without them popping out of his hand?
Hollywood says so. XD
+Michael McCarthy His claws are stored in his arm and when they are extended, they are completely in his hand. They are moving from the arm to the hand.
TH-cam Account I understand how claws work, I am not a idiot, they were saying that the claws went from the elbow to the KNUCKLES, meaning there would be no bending of the wrists. It's like a barred door, you couldn't move the hinges until the bar is gone. See what I am saying now? I don't know where his claws reside exactly in his arms because it has been to long since I watched that movie, I am going off of what they said.
from what I seen they rest in his forearm the only time they past by his wrists is when they pop out. So logically if his wrists are bent as he's drawing his claws they should pop out of his wrists but it would heal immediately after. But still ouch.
The laser beams are light, light can past through each other without interacting, so light can come in his eye to him to see. But if any light of the laser goes back to the eye it might temporary blind him because it's too much light to see, unless he is able to see with a lot of light, that would make him immune to flashbangs, for instance.
To answer the second we need to know HOW she goes diamond, that would be interesting, and I have no ideia.
The third is just mistake of the movie and inconcistence in the medias. Wolverine's claw had to be smaller than his arm to fit without bending, otherwise it wouldn't bend.
Kyle your superpower is the ability to inspire discovery and foster discussion... because science!
Thanks for the explanation, Legolas.
answer: yes he can, his son Dakkan has similar powers and he has sleeve tatoos.
I honestly forgot about him
They aren't as strong from the few I've read through.
daken*
daken*
Daken's tattoos stay because he got them before his healing factor kicked in. Any scars would stay as well. Logan has no scars because he was a sickly child and rarely played outside.
hey how does Spiderman's spider sense work
It doesn't, suffer
It works and varies at the writer convenience.
I like to think of the spider sense working similarly to how a cockroach senses danger
cockroaches use tiny hairs on its back act as sensors and are designed to bend easily. These hairs can sense changes in wind movement
This theory is proven in the toby maguire iteration of spiderman where peter parker is at school and senses every thing moving down to the fly in cool slow mo fashion
the great web, read spider-verse
+Hipur hipster trickster
This question has been bothering me for so long. So happy I finally got an answer
That made me really happy, "tattoo-ine"
How can Vision can be solid and yet phase through walls like a, Ghost?
Just filmed that episode! Stay tuned... -- KH
Because, in short, he can change his density.
He can be either really hard and heavy, or so light he can float and phase through walls. It isn't clear in the movies because he changes density so often and so quickly. That's how I understand it at least.
Hopefully that helped before the full episode comes out.
It's not density! Think...smaller. -- KH
***** Oh damned ! Well, I'll admit, that was without any research. Just my thoughts on it.
But I am even more excited about the new episode then ! ;)
I think he can control the magnetic energies surrounding atoms allowing him to phase through objects since the majority of atoms is empty space
He could get a tattoo, but it probably wouldn't last too long due to how often he gets injured.
great video I learned how tatoos work. But wouldn't the healing push out the ink like it pushes out a bullet?
Nice video! Daken (wolverine's son) has a (big) tattoo on his arm. If i am not mistaken, I think I even remember Daken losing his arm or something like that and.... the tattoo going back when he healed because, let's face it, Marvel needs Daken to have his tattoo because he wants to be sure that people that "the guy with the claws in not Wolverine but his son".
Pooping is not excretion.
Excretion is the removal of waste produced by the body,like salts and excess water.
Breathing and peeing is excretion,but pooping is egestion
Yes he would excrete them via urine but not pooping.
Semantically, you are correct. But colloquially, the metal particles are taken via the white blood cells along the lymphatic system in the skin to the liver, and ultimately to both feces and urine. -- KH
But if wolverine rejects anything from his body that doesn't belong, would the ink be pushed out instantly?
The claws are also foreign objects if you're going with comic-lore
+DarkJefferson wat u mean
no, the claws are a part of his mutation.
+MuhamadAli Chavoshi Only the original, bone claws, not the metal
S. Smith yeah, but the metal fused with the bone and took up its properties.
+Nerdist I be no means am a biology expert. From my perspective of the video, sense the tattoo ink is a foreign body would the healing factor not push the ink out similar to how it pushed the bullet out? However you could also argue that his healing factor wouldn't push it out because the healing factor is so rampant that it heals around all of the ink. Therefore the ink would be trapped inside the skin making the tattoo permanent like you said it would be realistically.
Awesome video.
I believe that the tattoo would be temporary for the same reason it takes time for his body to reject any other foreign objects. The ink would be pushed out so the tiny holes could be repaired. Having said that, who knows how long that would take.
Since we know his body doesn't reject adamantium, what about adamantium-based ink?
Honestly Logan could get a tattoo and if he got sick of it, just cut the whole thing off and get it preserved like some people have when they die. His skin would just grow back after he slices it off
Cellular regeneration doesn't remove bullets either.
if the cells regenerate in a particular way while the bullet is in the right spot (i.e. an adamantium skull that it cannot penetrate), it seems possible to me that cellular regeneration could actually remove a bullet. at least, that sounds logical to me, idk if this is actually scientifically accurate.
Yea, I totally see that happening... though in a way where having been shot in the skull, as it's so close to the top of the skin, as the skin closes the wound, I'd think it would just push the bullet out of the way as the bullet itself is shaped in a way that would facilitate such a thing. Getting shot in the gut though... I couldn't tell you.
First if a lead bullet hit an adamantium skull it would flatten and shatter spreading shrapnel under the skin. Second if the healing process could expel a bullet it could also expel the ink. Which is exactly my point.
His regeneration works but healing the bottom layer first, so the bullet slowly gets pushed forward as each layer heals, this happens anywhere in the body, as to why his body is full of bullets.
***** Don't forget iron! We have that in our blood!
This was already answered in a comic, logan says the tattoo disappears in a couple hours. He says its a cool trick for dates.
The end reaction has always been what mine was when watching the first X-Men.
Can "Daenerys of House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, Queen of Meereen,Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lady Regnant of the Seven Kingdoms , Protector of the Realm, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains, Mother of Dragons" get a sunburn?
If that is the case, why hasn't Sabertooth tattoo'd something obscene on Logan's forehead?
aaaaahahaha, that last reaction to Wolverine swinging around the Statue of Liberty's crown spike :'D My thoughts exactly!
Like where are the sparks? And why don't the smaller slices tumble free as well? Wrong, just so wrong. Sometimes It's hard loving comics and superhero movies as an engineer.
this video was hilarious and informative! You got a new subscriber😉
I love this show. I always read the episode title and say 'what? who the hell cares?' and then watch it and say 'man, that's awesome'. Y'know, because science.
Exactly what I want to happen. -- KH
Wolverine's tats are temporary because they keep being blasted off of his body.
I died at "poop a tattoo "
Great vid bud, u are very talented, why?
BECAUSE SCIENCE!!
I think his body would push out the ink like it does with other stuff like bullets and other foreign objects.
The guy just explained that it wouldn't, His white blood cells won't be able to detect the ink
@@Dennicillin you don't get it either. you are talking about white blood cells, but he talks about whole relatively big objects like bullets getting rejected by his body, which doesn't involve white blood cells at all. So yeah, of course he would do the same with ink and bullets.
@@ivantheterrible7696 What the video says is that the scars will heal but the ink will remain. Even in the comics, his tattoos take some time to fade but from a biological standpoint (which is the whole point of this video), the ink can remain under a very thin layer of skin, causing no harm to his body. Like a semi-permanent marker
@@ivantheterrible7696 Also as W.D. Callahan explains below
"Melanocytes collect the ink as if it was your body's natural pigment. When those cells die, the free pigments get picked up by new cells underneath. That's why you don't shed your skin color during dermogenesis."
@@Dennicillin okay, but the point that makes his regenerative power useful is that his body "pushes" any foreign objects as his cells divide, so it makes no sense for his body to allow ink in it.
Also, considering the speed at which he regenerates it makes no sense for his body to absorb *anything*
Your side rant at 2:30 confuses me. I always thought it was more painful to go through scar tissue so wouldn't scar tissue from the healing factor make successive claw releases potentially increasingly painful?
I think maybe he meant because if Wolverine produced scar tissue, then leaving his claws extended for a while would cause the holes to scar over and thus stay mostly open similar to a piercing. But since he doesn't it totally heals over every single time, meaning every time he extends it tears open as much as the first time.
Wolverine doesn't scar as far as I can tell, so every time his claws came out, it would hurt. Imagine it like the difference between getting your ears pierced for the first time and putting an earring in after the piercing has healed. -- KH
***** Yes, presuming the scarring happened when the claws are extended and didn't further heal once retracted. I was assuming that if he was healing with scar tissue that just like most piercings even if it healed around it would still close. From everyone I've spoken to it hurts more to re-pierce through scar tissue.
yep. it hurts him every time
Just one lazy point, wasn't Cap using both arms(and his chest muscles)to curl the copter? So he would be like four times the Olympic record strong...still a superhero, then.
Bro it so funny the Milky Way tattoo commercial showed before the video lol
Suggestion for a future episode: In the Warcraft movie, Orgrim Doomhammer uses his Hammer to crush the (unarmored) head of another Orc charging in his direction. I'd like to know how much force would be required to actually accomplish this.
He pushes bullets out of his skull. In his particular case, I don't think white blood cells are an issue in removing foreign substances for him.
Not out of his skull. The bullet impacts the adamantium, and then the wound closes around it, moving the bullet out. Small holes created in the skin will draw ink into them through fluid dynamics alone, and then disperse under the skin. Microscopic particles are more likely to be removed by the body internally -- the body doesn't have the cellular machinery to force billion of particles out of the skin. -- KH
+Nerdist If the bullet hits the Adamantium skull,why did Wolverine became unconscious? It only hit skin, didn't it? I don't get it.
+Bálint Keszthelyi the shockwave travels trough the skul and hits the brain
The impact would cause a force through his skull which would move his head quickly causing his brain to impact with the side of his skull rendering him unconscious I believe.
yup, he should have pooped out that bullet #shittingbullets
I feel like "Can Luke Cage get a tattoo?" would be a ton more interesting.
he cant, the needles would have to pierce his skin, and in Jessica Jones when they try to inject him with a syringe in the hospital the metal just bends without puncturing
Yes luke can with a adamantium needle cuz logan can Pearce his skin
No, but I can write on his skin
As someone who's currently getting tattoo removal, 4:20 was greatly amusing.
Can this be revisited? What happens when he is injured? Meaning-- if he is slashed across a tattooed area, creating a gash that will heal, will the healed skin reconnect his slashed tattoo? Or if he is burned, burning his skin below parts of a tattoo, his skin would regenerate the tattoo, right?
Does this also mean that he poops a lot?
Not a robot You don't poop out a tattoo. You urinate it. You only poop out stuff that enters your mouth, passes through your stomach and intestines, but is never absorbed in your blood stream.
A tattoo, attacked by WBCs is connected to the blood. It has zero access to the alimantry canal since the body has very controlled secretions toward your gut. If anything is in the blood stream and is to be excreted, it will always be via urination.
Thank you for taking my question! !!!!!! #PoopATattoo
Thanks for the awesome question! Couldn't stop thinking about it, had to do it. -- KH
+Nerdist it was a fun debate at work. glad to share this with them! no one could argue the final word of Kyle Hill
I was wondering why it seemed the video was ending with like 1:30 left, then you talked about one of my favorite games! Cool! 😃
The ending of this video was god like lol
what ever pushes a bullet out of him would also push ink out
From my understanding, what pushes a bullet out of him is his body healing. A bullet embedded in the surface layer of the skin will get forced out by the lower layer healing and jostling it a little, then the second lowest layer healing and jostling it a little, etc. This wouldn't work for anything large (maybe a small knife if it didn't have much in the way of a handle could get pushed out), but a bullet is tiny and light.
Since this isn't the same thing, the ink wouldn't get pushed out.
why doesn't the adamantium get pushed out? and seriously, does it have any advantage at all? maybe the claws, but the skeleton?
The adamantium metal was FUSED with his bones so they have become a permanent fixture of Wolverine. Also that skeleton makes him probably one of the most durable heroes in all of comics in combination with his healing factor.
The bones themselves gives his body an indestructible structure to support itself. If his bones didn't have the adamantium fused to them, then his bones would be literally pulverized, not just broken, if he were to get punched by Hulk for example. Now his healing factor would ensure that he would survive a punch from Hulk, but it's that fact that with his adamantium skeleton, he would be able to stand back up and continue fighting while constantly healing the damage instead of lying in a corner and taking a 5 minute break in the action to repair all of his mushed bones and muscles.
His adamantium skeleton essentially means that he is a fighting machine. It pretty much doesn't matter how badly you might hurt Wolverine, he's just going to keep getting back up immediately and kick your ass all while healing.
(Of course having a metal infused skeleton essentially makes Wolverine sink like a rock in any body of water thus being a pretty big weakness if you just throw him out in the middle of the ocean, or any large body of water)
Hmm, if think about this, the metal may have fused but it didn't become his skeleton. So if for example his bones get badly crushed, like to little pieces. Then surely his bones would heal and start to reject the metal. The metal did fuse to him but it didn't really fuse with him on a molecular level that his body produces this metal. I mean, like say if logan gets a tattoo and you burn that tattoo, the arm heals but the tattoo is then gone. Same here right? It was fused, but since the "fusion" is not gone because the bones got crushed, then the body will reject the metal because now it can unlike before. Right?
Kino Uy That's true, the metal would be rejected if the bones were broken and then regrown. But it's the fact that this is adamantium metal. This one of the strongest metals in the Marvel universe. It is half of the components in Captain America's shield. I believe it's been stated in the comics that once melted and reforged, it can never, realistically, be broken or remelted again. I believe Kyle briefly mentioned it in the video discussing if Capt.'s shield could be cut with a lightsaber and he mentioned that it would obviously melt if thrown into the sun, which is why the "realistically" was added.
This is why his bones would never break since they are coated in an indestructible metal and thus cannot break and thus cannot be rejected by his body. If his bones were fused with another type of metal that was probably super tough steel, or something can be broken or melted, then yes it would be rejected when he healed his bones.
i think the question is more so, would the ink be put in holes, like a bullet, and then be forced out of those holes. as yes he could easily receive the ink, again like a bullet :P but as part of his regeneration he forces out the object. i dont think its assumed that he would absorb and break down the tattoo, more so sort of just ...excrete it like black sweat
I read it as he would heal at the same time the ink was put into the holes left by the tattoo gun. So it would be as if he healed around the holes containing the ink.
The thing is that ink stains whatever it is on, so unless the body pushes out the cells I don't think that would work.
BabyHoldingGun because of the fact wolverine doesnt age, at least past the point where these powers i guess kicked in anyway, id say his powers maintain a remarkably stable point of reference for his body at a cellular level. so i think he would simply remove any trace of the tattoo, and any tainted or damaged cells would die and be removed and replaced. obviously the reason adamantium doesn't come farting out of him every now and then #poopatattoo is because of the combination that it simply cannot be broken down once its hard, and also its attached to his entire skeleton which cannot simply be pushed out thru a pore :P
Yes, but the ink is much more smaller. The bullet is naturally extracted because it's so big it would not allow the skin to regenerate without pushing it out.
Yet the ink is much smaller. So much that it's the job of blood cells to push it out.
BUT I do believe that since Wolverine's bones are made of adamentium, it's up to his healing factor to create blood cells since leukocytes, lymphocytes, and other blood cells comes from the bone marrow. So in short, because of his bones being hermetic, his healing factor has to generate all his immune system. That's why he is so resistant to diseases.
So to conclude, yes, the tattoo would eventually fade rather quickly. Not because the ink would be pushed out by his regenerative abilities, but rather because his immune system is so strong, his white blood cells would be able to destroy the ink, no matter the size.
Why, because science ! (please don't sue me)
tyler posey playing scott mccall in my fave tv show was a werewolf with similar regeneration abilities. when he got his first tattoo it was healed and gone when he took off his bandage. he was rly upset and went to another, more wise (at the time) werewolf Derek who DID have a tattoo. for some reason in the show, if a supernatural being wanted to get a tattoo they needed to BURN it on with most preferably a light torch.
2:21 "Or why you can NEVER ACCURATELY MEASURE THE LEVEL IN A TEST TUBE!!!" I love your random scientific outbursts. And your hair.
Hey Kyle, is it possible to genetically enhance a gorilla today? Can we genetically enhance deadpool?
Okay, I'm not Kyle, but as far as I know: no. Problem is, we know DNA etc etc, but we can't really manipulate the DNA in a destinct way. You can expose it to radiation, that would change it, but today we can't decide what part of the DNA would be changed, we don't even know for sure for what any part of the DNA is responsible. On the other hand, there is aways the possibility to try it a few thousand times and have luck, even when the odds are stacked at one to a few billions.
we have crispr which can take out and replace individual genes in an individual, the real problem is knowing which genes do what and how
Adam Tschupp
Ah, didn't knew that, learned something. Again :D
the more you know!!!
+Aditya Patel Not Kyle and upfront, I'm sorry for the long message. It depends on what precisely you mean by "enhance", as what makes something better is subjective (a better cow is one that produces more milk and/or meat in a faster time period, but what is a better human? Stronger, faster, smarter, less or more prone to neurological atypical instances? Some Nobel prize winners are on the autism spectrum and some the more "intelligent" people are also less compassionate or empathetic to other people. It depends on what makes something better.). We've done thousands of genetic modifications to animals, in both the selective breeding variety and in the spider-goat and glowing marmoset transgenic variety (the spider-goat creates spider silk proteins in her milk (BioSteel) and marmosets have been given (through retroviruses) jellyfish genes that allow them to bioluminesce or glow-in-the-dark. There's even a line of genetically modified pet fish called Glofish, that come in colors like Starfire Red, Cosmic Blue and Galactic Purple (all registered trademarked). How fantastically spectacular is that?!). We've transgenically altered mice and rats to remove junk DNA (with no deleterious results) or create rats to better match human reactions to diseases (knockout rats) for experimental therapies for humans. We've done a lot of genetic modifications, but enhancing is still subjective.
If by "enhance" a gorilla you mean make it stronger or smarter, that would require concrete DNA mapping and correlated expression and repeated gene knockout or gene inhibiting tests to verify what genes did what, especially for intelligence, as that is both a nature and nurture variable. Think of gorillas that are taught to sign; they know a language and can express themselves, but they were educated to do so. Koko the gorilla even desired a pet and got a kitten that she named "All Ball", who was killed by a car. She had cared for this animal, raising him with gentle compassion like she would have an infant gorilla and she mourned for the loss of her pet. Intelligence and emotional spectrum touched on, if not all that we would deem human, most of it. The possibility exists for an unmoddified gorilla to express something we deem only humans are capable of - speech, in the form of body movements - yet, it's intelligence through education. Cultural uplift bridging a gap between humanity and animals. Also, we are examples of an intelligent ape; we share many of the same genes, our brains look very similar, weigh approximately the same, have similar folds and lobular localization, but we've built space stations and TH-cam. It should be possible since natural selection did it with us that we could do it to a gorilla through artificial selection, it would just take a long time (gorilla breeding depends on the males and females entering sexual maturity; 8 years for females and 15 years for males, with a gestation of 8 and 1/2 months plus rearing, infancy and adolescence and then comes education. And you have to wary of the temperament of gorillas, the main bit of averting your eyes or being mashed by an already powerful animal. There was the old legend of Stalin trying to breed ape-men for war and this is becoming more and more a case study of that...). On the strength front, we identified myostatin as a protein that inhibits muscle growth. Having receptors that are faulty in responding to the myostatin or lacking the typical gene orientation for production of myostatin makes more muscled and lean individuals capable of increased strength (check out the Belgium Blue cow; it's a beast and it was done through selective breeding, not transgenic means. There's even humans with this atypicality.). So if you wanted an "enhanced", stronger gorilla you could retrovirally infect the embryos to doubly inhibit myostatin (we've mapped it, its on chromosome 2b, so knockout both pairs) and then gestate until you've got an army of stronger-than-baseline gorillas or at least one (or two) since you are messing with the DNA during differentiation and could possible create non-vivable fetuses (the best bit if you succeed is, you could then breed the survivors and the germ cells would carry the mutation, that's how the marmosets and Glofish work.). Or you could dose a typical gorilla with a myostatin antagonist/growth hormone cocktail and give 'em some heavy luggage to workout. Bam, "enhanced" gorilla at your disposal.
As for Deadpool, do you mean enhance him or make humans more like him? He's fictional, so yea, we can enhance him but to make us like him is much more of a challenge. Deadpool's regeneration makes him like the axolotl, but Kyle already did an episode on that. Mammals and humans do regenerate but we're really poor at it, scarring and just sealing up the wound or damaged area and not replicating what was there before the trauma. The Murphy Roths Large strain of mouse is capable of scar-less healing, a rare mammal that doesn't scar and can regenerate lost and damaged tissues. The supposed way that it does this is due to gene expression, which we don't clearly know about yet to say which gene it is nor how it would work in a human. The idea that popular media picked up when the genes in question were narrowed down with further research was that deactivating one gene could permit mammalian cells to reenter a state of pluripotency and then differentiate anew, regenerating tissues. Oversimplification, but sure, roll with it. Knock out a gene or two (or 42) in humans, and mimic the same gene expression as the axolotl's cancer fighting state and you could have regenerating humans. As for how resilient a gmo'd, Deadpool-like human could be, I doubt they could survive brain damage or something that stopped their heart from beating. The cells may recycle and renew, but something as severe as decapitation, starvation, oxygen deprivation or severe trauma would still be fatal, despite regeneration. Aging would still probably get us anyway, since these animals that can regenerate only do regenerate wounds and damage, but don't recycle their entire bodies to a fresh, new one as the cells age with time. We replace our cells every so often, depending on the cell, but we do so with essentially, used parts. The new cells are refurbished new cells, not the next gen model of cells or a brand, spanking new ones. Even the axolotls' live for 10 to 15 years, but they die of old age, too. Still, being able to heal up, good as refurbished new and be resilient to cancers and other diseases would be worth it to me.
How did wolverine get grey hair in days future past, if he does not age
He ages really really really slowly
Ex. Old man Logan
+J.J Jameson thanks but does this mean he will look really really old but still not die a
soheil karami Well,we never got a older wolverine than old man logan(by the way,never got how he turned that old in 60-70 years but anyway) there he only looked old,but was as strong as ''young'',so I don't think we'll see a grandpa wolverine,but in the worst case a DKR batman like scenario,a old guy but still pure muscle
Because Fox had to choose who 2 spend their hair-changing budget on Jennifer Lawrence or Wolverine and they chose Katniss😂
even young people have grey hair
Great piece Kyle. Interesting question indeed. I wonder how Daken got his.
3:29 - "Cellular regeneration isn't what removes a tattoo". You also mentioned that he doesn't form scar tissue.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the lower layers of normal human skin don't actually heal completely when injured (such as by a tattoo gun) but instead form miniature scar tissue. For the skin to heal back to its original shape without scar tissue, foreign bodies (including ink) would have to be pushed out, making it impossible for Logan to get a tattoo
#poopatatoo lol
bub
Thor doing a video on Wolverine! XD jk Cool video.
So why does he expel a bullet from his head? From what I understand the adamantium had to surround his bones so it wouldn't be expelled from his body. His healing ability is clearly more than cellular regeneration, and includes some sort of foreign matter removal system. The only thing I've heard of like this is the skin in our ear canal grows outward to help remove excess ear wax.
if his healing factor pushes out foreign objects wouldnt it push out the ink pigments? and also anytime he gets seriously injured like burnt to a crisp or reduced to a drop of blood wouldnt there be no tattoo there? or even if he just cut a cut over the tattoo, would the tattoo just have lines taken out of it or something?
Is it just me or Kyle really sound like Jake on Vsauce3?
JAKE SOUNDS LIKE ME -- KH
+Nerdist Yeah xD
OMG YES
he looks like thor had a son
How come he can shave and get hair haircuts?
Cutting hair is not an injury. Hair, and the outside layer of skin, are already dead. He could shave his entire body and it would not grow back any faster than normal. If you are referring to the movie where it grows back after the nuclear explosion then discount that scene. There are so many things wrong with that scene. Let's say that he does heal from a fire or nuclear explosion. He would come back hairless. Wolverine shaves, Hulk grew a beard when we became Maestro, Superman shaves,etc.... So, superheroes with massive healing factors grow and cut hair. Therefore, their hair is not at constant state of being.
TocoB well in the comics, he couldn't, in the comics he cut it and it would grow back shortly, pick up a book
Darth Batman you have hair root cells which are alive these can be regenerated so he would still have hair but it needs to regrow
@@IamnotJohnFord read the comics
It would be great to have a regen factor like his, I'm still healing a tattoo from last week, if I were Logan I'd have healed that same day + no risk of infection
I have an OC that has a healing factor that keeps him in the state he was when he got the healing factor. Meaning if he had any open wounds at the time he got it, they would never heal. I'm trying really hard to find a loophole that will allow him to grow a beard.
I cringed every time he called it an "ink gun" it's a tattooing machine Kyle :P Get your facts straight
I'm a tattoo noob, sorry. -- KH
+Nerdist haha I was just messin around and educatin
my question is how come all of wolverine bones are adamantium but his teeth are not???
That is a damned fine question sir.
+torterra165 thank you
So how are teeth different from bone (apart from the fuction)?
teeth are not fully connected to bone so there was no was to cover them. but he coul get them covered but itd be like a dental work. a tooth cap. the muscles and flesh let the metal stay in place long enough to cool :3
+Harles Bently but the claws are also not connected to the bones either
If I am wrong correct me but shouldn't wolverines claws keep from sparking since the adamantium is impervious to damage or dulling
Toward the beginning you mentioned that foreign objects like bullets get forced out of his body. What if the ink is forced out during the healing process in the same way?
OMG How many Overwatch ads are there rightnow? o.O
