Wolverine (Ultimate Marvel)

Wolverine was a mutant whose primary ability was an accelerated healing factor that enabled him to regenerate damaged or destroyed bodily tissue with far greater speed and efficiency than an ordinary human. Wolverine's healing factor may have greatly retarded his aging. Wolverine's entire skeleton was infused with a rare, artificially created alloy known as Adamantium. As a result, Wolverine's bones were rendered highly resistant to all forms of physical damage.
This incarnation of Wolverine was created by Mark Millar and Adam Kubert.

==Powers & Abilities==
===Regenerative Healing Factor===
Wolverine's most prominent power is his healing factor. This allows Wolverine to heal from virtually any injury at an incredibly fast rate. This allows him take hits from class 100+ characters and continue fighting. He can regrow missing limbs, organs and has even regenerated from nothing but a skeleton. His healing factor grants him a high resistance to toxins and poisons- he was one able to consume enough Blowfish poison to kill 20 men with no discomfort. Large enough doses have proven effective at bypassing his healing factor. His healing factor prevents nerve strike attacks from working effectively on him as his healing factor bypasses the effect virtually instantaneously. His healing factor also grants him immunity to all Earthly diseases and it extends Wolverine's lifespan.
=== Superhuman Durability ===
Wolverine possesses superhuman durability thanks to a combination of his healing factor and adamantium skeleton. This enables him to take attacks from class 100+ characters such as the Hulk, Thing, Wonder Man, Red Hulk, Juggernaut and so on while still being able to fight. Thanks to the adamantium bonding, his ligaments are also near unbreakable, preventing superhuman characters such as the Hulk or Ba'al from doing so much as dislocating a joint.
=== Superhuman Acute Senses ===
Another one of Wolverine's prime abilities is his acute senses that are many time greater than that of a human being and even surpass that of most animals on Earth. Wolverine has the ability to see vast distances with complete clarity. This advanced eyesight also allows Wolverine to see in almost complete darkness. Wolverine's hearing is also enhanced allowing him to hear from great distances as well as hear pitches that ordinary human beings cannot and even fight blindfolded.
