5/14

5/14 That was one of the most bad ass feats Wolverine did in early comics. People talk about his claws and the fights he wins, but this is one of those moments where his healing factor deserves just as much attention. He's suffering through the whole thing. Having that power doesn't make the experience painless, and surviving it doesn't mean he can casually shrug the Brood off. He's fighting to remain himself while his own body is becoming something else. Then he has to deal with the fact that his friends don't have his healing factor. Getting himself through it doesn't solve their problem. He knows what they are carrying, and he knows what it could do to them. That's a pretty awful position to put him in. He survives something that could destroy the rest of the team, and he still has to figure out what he can actually do for them.
