How did Old Man Logan get old?

Wolverine's healing mutation isn't active all the time. He actually requires soaking himself in blood (thus the claw mutation) to keep it going. In this universe he quit popping his claws. No more bloodshed, no more youth.

Thank you!

He's bullshitting you.
>>83873319
Adamantium retards his healing factor due to it being extremely toxic. His healing factor ends up wasting alot of effort on making sure Logan doesn't die from adamantium poisoning.

>>83873319
I always just thought his healing factor slowed down his aging so he just ages slowly.

Man that comic wasn't very good at all.

Basically this, as far as we can tell. With just his bone claws and normal skeleton, he could have lived hundreds more years (after all, he was born in, what, the 1800s? But keeping him alive from the adamantium means he will effectively age at a normal-if-slightly slower pave.

Of course, this is a fairly new development, and one one the films only just seem to be taking on.

Interestingly, Laura (unless just her claws is enough to poison her to the game degree) and Daken should still be around in a couple of hundred years seemingly unchanged.

At least it gives a decent reason why Jackman has been visibly aging over 16 years of cinematic X-Men.

The guy can act, btw.

I thought he was amazing in Prisoners. I just wanted to mention that because I remember people shitting on him because he was cast as Wolverine "only because he looks like him"

I like him well enough. I do think he has basically monopolized the franchise though, admittedly in the same way he often did in the comics, and we'll have to see where it goes once he has retired.

To be fair, if retirement turns out to 'not be for him' at least Old Man Logan sets the precedent that he can age now.

I do want to see X-23 on the team eventually though.

Well yeah, I have been joking about it with my friends how some of the Wolverine movies are titled "X-Men"

You never read Days of future past?

Remember, that's not supposed to be all that long after The Wolverine or X3. A decade or two at most, and they gave his the beginnings of grey hair. Aging slower, that still fits. It's a bit off a mess anyway, continuity errors out the out, not least of which my he has metal claws again.

Guess we will have to see what they do with this one.
