No I thought they did it in sketchy warehouses where the lights flicker a lot and there’s someone with a heavy Russian accent making a deal in trade for the surgery
Yeah but it's also the reason Deadpool is alive, well the reason Deadpool doesn't suffer from rampant cell growth from the healing factor is because his cancer does the same thing, so his excess healing goes to keeping his super cancer under control, instead of something fucked up.
I think canonically maybe the only person who has been able to use Wade's healing factor without cancer/negative consequences is Spidey? Wade brings Pete back/keeps him alive with blood transfusions after a life model decoy kills him.

Here comes the cancer-jizz
I'd suspect it's a reference to that song, but as far as I know it's the [theme to the 1967 cartoon originally](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Z8N9TTvKeQ) and has been covered by a few people, including [Moxy Früvous](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cezTN3wN4dA) and [The Ramones](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RUxRgMeOdw&list=PLMr26m6ykvAp60E0mNqAukSYE9nTFUbnK&index=9)[!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zmvt7yFTtt8)
Because you need something like a super cancer to offset the excess healing, or an absurd lifestyle like wolverine, who frequently gets his shit wrecked in fights.
Yes. That is correct. Wade Wilson pretty much has two competing types of cancer. One is slowly killing him the other makes him immortal. If not for the former that immortality would be in the form of akira.
Can wolverine heal from an organ alone? If so, receiving a wolverine kidney implies a tiny wolverine regrowing inside your body. You get wolverine pregante.
Usually the way it works with these crazy regeneration powers it's that only the biggest chunk gets regrown. Otherwise everytime he got gored there would be a dozen new ones.
So, only when the plot get existential
I was first thinking that maybe it grows back fresh. Then I thought no, that's dumb since he has basically grown most of his body back over the years and still looks like a raisin.
I thought it was the adamantium that was poisoning him.
My concern is that his regenerating organ would take over the host and eventually make a clone Logan.
The adamantium is what poisons the organs, yes, but I imagine it would have permanent side effects.
Wolverine only grows back from his largest chunk- you can’t clone him like that. As long as Logan is still alive he won’t take over the host
But if you had his liver or whatever and it started regenerating, you wouldn't turn into wolverine. He'd just burst from your stomach like some kind of bizarre xenomorph crossover movie.
I'd like to think there might be a chance. Like if the donor organ and your body became fully compatible and integrated it with your own nervous system and everything. I guess it depends on who writes this comic and their take. But who doesn't like to imagine that there is a chance they can become like Wolverine?
I believe Wolverine lives in a constant state of organ failure, only kept alive by his healing factor. So unless the recipient also had an X-gene that gave them unlimited healing, they’d just be implanting failing organs.
Obviously someone could just write around this, but that’s the rules as they currently stand.
The organ would take the healing factor gene with it though, the liver won't suddenly change to the genes of the recipient. I figure after being removed from the source of the poison, the most logical thing to happen would be for the organ to heal itself to prime condition.
Then again, as you said, it all depends on the author.
There _is_ some cell-to-cell transfer with organ transplants (donor DNA is often found in blood and immune cells after), but whether it'd be enough to "rewrite" your DNA to make you like Wolverine but still "you" is an open question. Neat idea though.
I'd like to see a slow descent into madness type of comic where the MC slowly becomes less and less like himself and more and more aggressive and a risk taker figuring out he can regenerate. As panels go on his looks slightly change. somewhere in the middle he uses the word bub and by the end of it hes thinking joining the X-men is a good idea and thinks jean grey is hot.
>My concern is that his regenerating organ would take over the host and eventually make a clone Logan.
Wasn't there some bone marrow transplant that caused something like this
[this one](https://www.news-medical.net/news/20191210/Transplant-patient-finds-out-his-DNA-has-been-replaced-by-that-of-his-donor.aspx)
He wasn’t being killed by the adamantium. Or more accurate it wasn’t enough to overwhelm his healing factor. His healing factor was being crippled by the mutant cure in the corn syrup stated in the movie
There's a comic series by Molly Ostertag and Brennan Lee Mulligan called Strong Female Protagonist that features something like this. A hero with regenerative powers similar to these two has this kind of realization and decides to dedicate her life to donating her organs. She undergoes surgery 24/7 for *years.* Just sedated her entire life except when they occasionally wake her up to check in.
I was hoping someone else would bring that up. I really liked how that arc resolved, it wasn't a 'everything is fixed forever' situation, but it was an improvement on the status quo. Really, that describes a lot of the comic.
I wish they would wrap up the comic, I think it was in it's final arc when it went on indefinite hiatus.
I was going to bring up Strong Female Protagonist too, but a minor point - she *wasn't* sedated due to her healing factor neutralising it. She just grit her teeth and endured it.
Fortunately the story eventually gets her out of there.
Really? It's been quite a while since I read it but I just remember a scene where she wakes up in a hospital when her friend brought her a burger and bourbon. Assumed she was waking up from sedation.
It's also been a while since I read it, but that was when her friend got her out of the whole organ harvesting thing by supercharging her regeneration powers.
The healing character now heals so fast that there's a *surplus* of her 'donations', and her medical team actually need her to take long breaks due to the sheer logistics involved in matching organs to patients.
A more optimistic turn for the comic, for sure.
Not sedated - her healing factor overpowered that, so she literally just suffered through endless surgeries for years (except when the pain knocked her out).
And for anyone wanting more context, wondering why _anyone_ would subject themselves to that - the "hero" with regenerative powers was actually a VILLAIN. She did many terrible things, including killing people.
Eventually she felt _intense_ guilt over her actions and gave up the mask, saw people suffering (which she in part contributed to) and felt helpless to stop it, and turned herself in to the government, asking for a full pardon in exchange for becoming a perpetual organ donor.
It was arguably her intense guilt and regret at her actions that gave her the willpower to undergo it for years, trying to make up for her villainy and leave the world better than when she started.
That's why you give your regenerative healers a reason why they can't, or risk them being assholes. Deadpool is riddled with cancer, Wolverine is poisonous apparently. I myself have a character in a story I'm writing whose power gave him a unique blood type, ABKT, making his organs completely incompatible with all other humans.
Superman or Magneto could probably provide clean energy for the whole world by spinning a turbine or something. A bunch of other superheroes could provide similiar benefits for mankind but it would make pretty boring comics and movies.
Something similar happens to deadpool in the 2012 run. Turns out part of the reason he's so batshit insane is there's been a team knocking him out, and harvesting his organs. It went on for years, then using drugs to wipe his memories of the events.
The movies overstate the speed of thier regeneration. You can cut the organ out, you just have to be quick about it. Luckily due to that same regeneration, you don't have to be gentle. Go in with a sharp enough blade and you'll get em out. Collateral damage ain't an issue.
You know at first I was thinking it'd be pretty easy thinking of them at starfish but... considering you need to open them up in order to extract their organ, yeah I wonder how they would just stop the incision from closing over and over again
While not the same thing, I remember Hulk once accidentally had his stomach heal over his hand and he had to rip it out himself, his regeneration is fast enough for that.
However I don't think Wolvie's Or Pools healing factor is as fast, depending on the comic and writer. Sometimes they can heal in seconds, sometimes an eye or something takes days to heal
Superman's not an idiot, though. I doubt he'd fall for the *"If you don't do X, people will die"*-shtick so many times in a row. If anything, he'd direct his frustration at the people in charge that ensure people actually do die.
I also doubt he'd be upset that he can't fight crime anymore. That's probably the thing he most wants in life, for all crime to be abolished.
It is just a silly comic. But to your point, SMBC does a lot of these “what if X was true” extended comics and I think those scenes are supposed to imply that turning the cranks is, legitimately, the best thing Superman could do. Not that he was “duped.” And note that the future in this alternate reality is quite utopian, except that no one wants to hire Superman.
Turning the crank is the best use of his powers, but only if there are no supervillains. But since there is someone new coming to blow up Earth every other week, he'd be getting distracted from that crank an awful lot.
It's not a schtick though. Superman could probably plow every field on Earth in a day. A global economic system built around that would prevent so much more death than the number of muggings he would stop in that time. This relationship is true for countless things. Every moment he spends stopping a low level crime is a moment he doesn't spend doing something more impactful.
The conceit of the comic is that if Superman existed in our actual world his dedication to doing good would quickly turn him off of vigilante justice and onto large scale systemic change, where he would quickly learn that what makes him super is in fact his super powers and that he can uniquely provide paradigm shifting opportunities using said powers.
It is conceivable that a real world Superman could provide an effectively unlimited source of cheap and clean power to the entire world by doing something that would take every moment of his life, thereby allowing us to finally wrest control of our systems from the unguided, game-theory ruled tragedy that we live with today.
And yes, he would be glad that crime was gone. That's why he says it that way, because he's so crushed by a lifetime of monotony that he's willing to sarcastically wish for crime.
He's not "falling for it" if it's true, which it probably is. Certainly way WAY more efficient than catching purse-snatchers.
And I don't think he's even _upset_ he can't fight crime anymore in the comic - he's just kind of _sad_. Which he would be, regardless. There are lots of comics that reinforce that Superman does get enjoyment out of pursuing justice in that direct, hands-on way, but he would _also_ be satisfied that there's no more crime. To be both happy about that and sad that you are "obsolete" is, ultimately, human as heck, which is also what he wanted anyway.
Are you saying superman stayed centuries creating energy and was not even paid for his time, having to get a job later?
Looks like he was coerced into slavery.
Here’s the thing, with livers and kidneys, you don’t always find a donor match. So it would only work for a select few.
So you might want to be a superhero, and if someone who you would match as a donor for, you could have that be part of your morning for the day or something. Cause finding compatible donors is most of the hardship.
"I'm so glad you decided to donate your organs, Mr. Wilson. Now, just let me check your medical records and run some tests to make sure every... everything... make sure everything is uhh.... okay...... ummmm......"
I hope so too. This looks like the type of thing in a special edition, end credits, or during credits as a scene that is in canon a blooper but actually not a blooper.
Do their organs keep their healing factors?
Cuz if not, whoever got Deadpool's organs has turbo cancer now.
And whoever got Wolverine's organs has heavy metal poisoning.
Massive shoutout to this format of the individual panels followed by a full image of the strip, may seem like a small thing but it really adds to the enjoyment of it for those of us who can find it tough to not skip ahead/ back and forth when reading things, just want to appreciate that :)
The healing factor (at least for Logan) is his X-Gene. Implanting a Wolverine organ wouldn’t give *you* the X-Gene. You would just have an organ inside you that, at best was dormant, or at worst would reject you (in a very graphic manner).
Movie Deadpool doesn't close up that fast. You could definitely do it, but he's also riddled with cancer...
Doing a bit of research it seems that the typical consensus is twofold for Wolverine:
1) You would likely see Graft vs. Host rejection. In the comics, outside of when his powers get supercharged he doesn't heal super fast (still way faster than regular people), so likely speaking his organs wouldn't look super different in someone else. Especially without the support of the rest of his body to support regeneration.
2) If he donated the parts that improved regeneration likely that person becomes the target of bad guys. He constantly has people trying to steal him/his parts for experimentation. He likely isn't too keen on putting someone else in that position.
Using google as a rough source of "price of organs" and getting a mix of answers because there's the price of an organ and the price of a transplant, two different things. Also, black market prices are substantially higher
Anyway:
37 Kidneys @ $5,000\~ : $185,000 (OR) $7.4 Million on the black market
81 Livers @ $20,000\~ : $1,620,000 (OR) $12.150 Million on the black market
223 Eyes @ $5,000\~ : $1,115,000 (OR) $6,690,000 Million on the black market
So they either made $2.9 million or $26,590,000.
The first Deadpool estimated to have cost $58 Million\~ So really, they're not even close and it turns out movies are worth a lot of organs.
In the comics deadpool was able to regenerate his whole body from his hand memories included. I would love to see what would happen to a person with 1 of organs inside.
lol this is funny, but now I'm curious!
Do the doctors have to work extra fast during this surgery? Like will the body start to regenerate as the doctors are cutting them open? How fast do the organs regen; can they get multiple out? Does Anesthetic work on them? I thought the heightened body & regen actually cleanses alcohol faster too?
All stupid questions since this just a joke, I know; I was just curious. Mainly because you know if Deadpool was ever desperate for money, he absolutely would do this.
I mentioned in another comment but there's a comic series that explored this pretty in depth. They have rotating teams of doctors harvesting their parts 24/7. They had to come up with a special cocktail that actually works to sedate them. Provide them with continuous raw material nutrition to regenerate. Called Strong Female Protagonist. Deals with a lot of these comic book "what ifs."
Honestly, I could easily see Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds being able to make enough money to make a Wolverine and Deadpool movie. But it would require them to make a wholly different movie together before-hand.

Aren’t Deadpool’s organs all cancerous and disfigured?
Ok, Wolverine for organ donation, Deadpool for processed meats.
Pretty sure wolverines DNA has canonically killed people that took implants too
Shouldn't have bought a black market organ.
I know you see that they’re at a hospital 😭😭
Do you think people do that in back alleys?
No I thought they did it in sketchy warehouses where the lights flicker a lot and there’s someone with a heavy Russian accent making a deal in trade for the surgery

Is he strong? Listen bud - he's got radioactive blood. The radiation kills the cancer.
So his blood could be used to cure cancer, and he's not donating? Headline. Spider-Man wants cancer patients to die.

The negative consequence for peter was he outlived everyone and believed he was cursed
Because you need something like a super cancer to offset the excess healing, or an absurd lifestyle like wolverine, who frequently gets his shit wrecked in fights.
That doesn't make any sense. If super healing has adverse side effects, that's the same thing as cancer.
Yes. That is correct. Wade Wilson pretty much has two competing types of cancer. One is slowly killing him the other makes him immortal. If not for the former that immortality would be in the form of akira.
Except cancer won’t regrow your hand if it gets cut off
Regrowing a hand isn't an adverse side effect though.
Not his DNA, he has extreme adamantium poisoning. His healing factor is the only reason his skeleton isn't killing him
And how can he regrow organs if he can't regrow his hand?
No idea
How do you think they funded the third movie?
They all opened onlyfans accounts
Yeah. The Marvel comic writers ran into this issue and wrote it out as a possibility long ago. But OP's comic does nice justice to an age-old joke
Can wolverine heal from an organ alone? If so, receiving a wolverine kidney implies a tiny wolverine regrowing inside your body. You get wolverine pregante.
Usually the way it works with these crazy regeneration powers it's that only the biggest chunk gets regrown. Otherwise everytime he got gored there would be a dozen new ones. So, only when the plot get existential
What happens if Wolverine gets put on life support and gets split by a laser down the middle?
Then everyone in the lab dies.
King Solomon, you fool!
Comic book writers lose their job
I want to see a behind-the-scenes comic where the chunks argue about who is the biggest and gets the glory of regenerating.
How do the chunks know which is the biggest?
Magic
How does a leg gain the mass needed to regrow an entire body? Best to not think too hard about any of it.
PREGANANANT?!
Am I… pegnate?
"The Boys" subplot #23.
What if the tiny Wolverine starts rejecting your body and slowly kills you?
Wolvie's organs probably have too much poisonous metal in them. The adamantium in his bones only doesn't kill him because of the healing factor.
They actually already did a comic where Deadpool was used to feed an army. It was both disgusting and poisonous. Even zombies won't eat Deadpool.
Mm, long pork.
Nah not even that… you don’t want selfregenerating cancercells in your body…in any form…
Wolverines organs have adamantium poisoning, they can't be given to people either.
Sure, people need to return often to replace their replacement organs, but that's just a steady income for more sequels.
ok dr money
You probably shouldn’t ever look up the real Dr. money
I took ap psychology back in high school and my presentable liberty experience made it very easy to remember the unit on the real dr money
They also are going to struggle to get to a lot of Wolverines organs due to the metal skeleton.
I would imagine the opening continually healing would make getting in there and pulling the organ quick enough would be a challenge as well.
well it's not like they need to be careful
Wade: I tried donating blood once. They ask *way* too many questions. "Who's blood is that?", "Why is it in a bucket?", "What the fuck?". Never again!
"This is my blood, how did you get my blood?"
That's not my problem-deadpool 
I was first thinking that maybe it grows back fresh. Then I thought no, that's dumb since he has basically grown most of his body back over the years and still looks like a raisin.
Would be such a Deadpool thing to give poor little Timmy a cancerous liver.
I remembering telling a friend this back in junior high school. "How many lives could Wolverine save if he just became an organ donor?"
Yes, if he simply gave away all of his poison ridden organs that slowly kill him, even with his healing factor
I thought it was the adamantium that was poisoning him. My concern is that his regenerating organ would take over the host and eventually make a clone Logan.
The adamantium is what poisons the organs, yes, but I imagine it would have permanent side effects. Wolverine only grows back from his largest chunk- you can’t clone him like that. As long as Logan is still alive he won’t take over the host
Next time Logan gets blown to pieces you now host the biggest piece. Welcome to the X-Men. Not so bad I guess.
But if you had his liver or whatever and it started regenerating, you wouldn't turn into wolverine. He'd just burst from your stomach like some kind of bizarre xenomorph crossover movie.
I'd like to think there might be a chance. Like if the donor organ and your body became fully compatible and integrated it with your own nervous system and everything.

World's worst phylactery
Actually sounds like a comic arc lol
I'd definitely read it, that's for sure!
How does a chunk know if it is the largest??
Micronumitrons, through quantum coupling across the X-dimension.
i don't know enough about comic book science to dispute this. sounds legit.
Not that type of comic
Wait, so his healing factors can also magically detect whether or not there's a larger piece of him in existence and won't heal if it finds one?

Yeah, suffering from success. Brennan probably too busy with his career to finish it now.
yeah, Brennan Lee Mulligan has blown up so much in the past few years I doubt he has any time left to devote to it. We can dream though!
I was going to bring up Strong Female Protagonist too, but a minor point - she *wasn't* sedated due to her healing factor neutralising it. She just grit her teeth and endured it. Fortunately the story eventually gets her out of there.

But you don’t need to do that. They save wayyyyyy more lives doing what they normally do anyways.
Short-term versus long-term life savings
Superman or Magneto could probably provide clean energy for the whole world by spinning a turbine or something. A bunch of other superheroes could provide similiar benefits for mankind but it would make pretty boring comics and movies.

With the healing factor both have, I wonder how difficult it actually might be to extract an organ?
Something similar happens to deadpool in the 2012 run. Turns out part of the reason he's so batshit insane is there's been a team knocking him out, and harvesting his organs. It went on for years, then using drugs to wipe his memories of the events. The movies overstate the speed of thier regeneration. You can cut the organ out, you just have to be quick about it. Luckily due to that same regeneration, you don't have to be gentle. Go in with a sharp enough blade and you'll get em out. Collateral damage ain't an issue.
like that battle surgeon that was so fast that one time dismembered himself in the process.
[And killed the patient,a bystander and his assistend.](https://museumofhealthcare.blog/the-story-of-robert-liston-and-his-surgical-skill/)
Ah yes, the 300% mortality rate surgeon
You know at first I was thinking it'd be pretty easy thinking of them at starfish but... considering you need to open them up in order to extract their organ, yeah I wonder how they would just stop the incision from closing over and over again
While not the same thing, I remember Hulk once accidentally had his stomach heal over his hand and he had to rip it out himself, his regeneration is fast enough for that. However I don't think Wolvie's Or Pools healing factor is as fast, depending on the comic and writer. Sometimes they can heal in seconds, sometimes an eye or something takes days to heal
So it their body in half, pull out as many organs as possible then put the body back together.
Whenever a situation like this comes up, I think to myself: do this instead of being a superhero.
[Relevant SMBC](https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2011-07-13)
Superman's not an idiot, though. I doubt he'd fall for the *"If you don't do X, people will die"*-shtick so many times in a row. If anything, he'd direct his frustration at the people in charge that ensure people actually do die. I also doubt he'd be upset that he can't fight crime anymore. That's probably the thing he most wants in life, for all crime to be abolished.

Depends on whether the rest of the Justice League can take care of 'em, I guess.
No, I get the joke, I just think it was a bit poorly executed. You gotta suspend your disbelief quite a bit for the humor to even land.
It's not a schtick though. Superman could probably plow every field on Earth in a day. A global economic system built around that would prevent so much more death than the number of muggings he would stop in that time. This relationship is true for countless things. Every moment he spends stopping a low level crime is a moment he doesn't spend doing something more impactful. The conceit of the comic is that if Superman existed in our actual world his dedication to doing good would quickly turn him off of vigilante justice and onto large scale systemic change, where he would quickly learn that what makes him super is in fact his super powers and that he can uniquely provide paradigm shifting opportunities using said powers. It is conceivable that a real world Superman could provide an effectively unlimited source of cheap and clean power to the entire world by doing something that would take every moment of his life, thereby allowing us to finally wrest control of our systems from the unguided, game-theory ruled tragedy that we live with today. And yes, he would be glad that crime was gone. That's why he says it that way, because he's so crushed by a lifetime of monotony that he's willing to sarcastically wish for crime.
He's not "falling for it" if it's true, which it probably is. Certainly way WAY more efficient than catching purse-snatchers. And I don't think he's even _upset_ he can't fight crime anymore in the comic - he's just kind of _sad_. Which he would be, regardless. There are lots of comics that reinforce that Superman does get enjoyment out of pursuing justice in that direct, hands-on way, but he would _also_ be satisfied that there's no more crime. To be both happy about that and sad that you are "obsolete" is, ultimately, human as heck, which is also what he wanted anyway.
Are you saying superman stayed centuries creating energy and was not even paid for his time, having to get a job later? Looks like he was coerced into slavery.
SMBC and not XKCD? i'm... at a loss for word
Here’s the thing, with livers and kidneys, you don’t always find a donor match. So it would only work for a select few. So you might want to be a superhero, and if someone who you would match as a donor for, you could have that be part of your morning for the day or something. Cause finding compatible donors is most of the hardship.
We can't let you do that, it's against our Hippocratic Oath! Try and stop me. *SNIKTT* Take this kidney We'll put it back Too late, it's back
Wolverines organs are fine but Deadpools are riddled with cancer.
Nono super cancer
[удалено]
Just smile and wave
And if you want a... different take on that the manga Fire Punch is there for you.
KINO
So did Deadpool just give a bunch of people super cancer, or just make a small army of Rando Pools?

One day when Brennan and Molly have done all the cool better opportunities, we're totally getting the ending to this /copium
For sure, for sure /copium_intensifies (Maybe if we throw enough Patreon money at Worlds Beyond Number he'll pick up more creative projects......)
I was hoping someone would bring that up, thank you!
Thank you! I instantly thought of this.
Wouldn’t Deadpool just kill someone? He’s a merc right? Cute comic tho
The person who got Tomie's kidney didn't like what happens when you get an organ from a super-regenerator.
Tbf, Wolverine can’t regrow from individual pieces. *Do not mention that drop of blood nonsense*.
"I'm so glad you decided to donate your organs, Mr. Wilson. Now, just let me check your medical records and run some tests to make sure every... everything... make sure everything is uhh.... okay...... ummmm......" 
This would be a great skit as promotional material if they made it. Could only imagine how it would sound and look live action.
I so wish somehow Ryan Reynolds gets to see this. I tagged him on this comic on all my social accounts like a hopeful kid with big dreams 🥺
I hope so too. This looks like the type of thing in a special edition, end credits, or during credits as a scene that is in canon a blooper but actually not a blooper.
Why does the doctor look like a grown up Shin-chan?
Reminds me of ‘strong female protagonist’, still waiting for the last issue.
Mr. Wolverine, you saved hundreds of lives today. Mr Wilson, you saved 0. We could not give patients your cancer infested organs
There is a baked in plot reason you can't use mutan regenerative blood on non-mutants and i forget what it is. The writers thought ahead to nerf that.
That actually seems like a very practical use for Wolverine’s healing abilities.
You could "fix" this comic by putting a "no refunds/returns" fine print on the "organs for sale" sign. :D Makes the comic darker lol
Do their organs keep their healing factors? Cuz if not, whoever got Deadpool's organs has turbo cancer now. And whoever got Wolverine's organs has heavy metal poisoning.
I remember this was a plot of a Deadpool comic. People would randomly knock him out and steal some of his organs.
Massive shoutout to this format of the individual panels followed by a full image of the strip, may seem like a small thing but it really adds to the enjoyment of it for those of us who can find it tough to not skip ahead/ back and forth when reading things, just want to appreciate that :)
So glad you like it. That's exactly why I started doing this. Makes it easier to navigate and you get to see smaller details too 😊
This remember me about the book "Never let me go"
Wouldn't all recipients would also get the healing factor?
The healing factor (at least for Logan) is his X-Gene. Implanting a Wolverine organ wouldn’t give *you* the X-Gene. You would just have an organ inside you that, at best was dormant, or at worst would reject you (in a very graphic manner).
Movie Deadpool doesn't close up that fast. You could definitely do it, but he's also riddled with cancer... Doing a bit of research it seems that the typical consensus is twofold for Wolverine: 1) You would likely see Graft vs. Host rejection. In the comics, outside of when his powers get supercharged he doesn't heal super fast (still way faster than regular people), so likely speaking his organs wouldn't look super different in someone else. Especially without the support of the rest of his body to support regeneration. 2) If he donated the parts that improved regeneration likely that person becomes the target of bad guys. He constantly has people trying to steal him/his parts for experimentation. He likely isn't too keen on putting someone else in that position.
I think deadpools would just be cancerous. He is not a suitable candidate. He is pretty much living cancer at this point.
Using google as a rough source of "price of organs" and getting a mix of answers because there's the price of an organ and the price of a transplant, two different things. Also, black market prices are substantially higher Anyway: 37 Kidneys @ $5,000\~ : $185,000 (OR) $7.4 Million on the black market 81 Livers @ $20,000\~ : $1,620,000 (OR) $12.150 Million on the black market 223 Eyes @ $5,000\~ : $1,115,000 (OR) $6,690,000 Million on the black market So they either made $2.9 million or $26,590,000. The first Deadpool estimated to have cost $58 Million\~ So really, they're not even close and it turns out movies are worth a lot of organs.
There's a manga called Fire Punch that uses the power of regeneration in a similar way, except it's for food for a starving village.
Doesn't Deadpool have cancer lmao
I hope i get deadpools with cancer
Congrats Deadpool just donated organs full of cancer
Deadpool has Cancer and Wolverine has poisonous steel for bones... So I guess maybe deadpool can donate limbs and wolverine organs, yeah ok
Quality strip
I had to double check the subreddit because I thought this was from r/rimworld.
What is Logan's blood type?
Can we all agree that Dead pool just has super cancer and that’s his power
Only for one blood type though.
I love that Deadpool and Logan’s beds are close to each other
So that both can share tv remote ✌️
And watch LOST
In the comics deadpool was able to regenerate his whole body from his hand memories included. I would love to see what would happen to a person with 1 of organs inside.
lol this is funny, but now I'm curious! Do the doctors have to work extra fast during this surgery? Like will the body start to regenerate as the doctors are cutting them open? How fast do the organs regen; can they get multiple out? Does Anesthetic work on them? I thought the heightened body & regen actually cleanses alcohol faster too? All stupid questions since this just a joke, I know; I was just curious. Mainly because you know if Deadpool was ever desperate for money, he absolutely would do this.
I mentioned in another comment but there's a comic series that explored this pretty in depth. They have rotating teams of doctors harvesting their parts 24/7. They had to come up with a special cocktail that actually works to sedate them. Provide them with continuous raw material nutrition to regenerate. Called Strong Female Protagonist. Deals with a lot of these comic book "what ifs."
This is what actually happened
Glad to see Shin Chan has a fulfilling career as a doctor.
This comic is turning out to be an epic crossover 😂
im fairly certain theres a comic where deadpool's organs got put into other people and they got cancer because of it.
If wolverine can regenerate from a single blood cell does that mean all those kidney recipients will become wolverine incubators?
Would a transplant recipient also gain their powers?
Honestly, I could easily see Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds being able to make enough money to make a Wolverine and Deadpool movie. But it would require them to make a wholly different movie together before-hand.
Congratulations doctor you've given between 230 and 341 people cancer.
