Mutants typically gain their powers at puberty. If he was circumcized as a baby would it regrow when he gets his powers? Or just heal stuff from that point forward? Or was wolverine unique in that he always had his healing powers?
He was born in a British colony long before circumcision would have been anything other than a religious rite.
Questions wasnt about his history. It was a hypothetical.
Christianity was around before Britain so it would still be likely.
Christian circumcision wasn’t a thing back then, that didn’t start until the Kellog’s company sold the idea to christians alongside bland cereal to stop children from masturbating.
Edit: This is not a joke, this is actual documented history.
For a lighthearted glimpse into the later years of his crazy shit see The Road to Wellville
Edit… guess I don’t know how to use italics
Just one asterisk on each side instead of two. Or an underscore (though that sometimes seems to randomly not work, at least on Connect).
And it’s only in America, no Christians in Europe do this.
Why, you guys got a problem with corn flakes?
Circumcision isnt a Christian thing, its an American Christian thing.
Wolverine has a belly button but he has not regrown his umbilical cord
On the contrary, wolverine can be circumcised infinitely
Sisyphus: thanks for the offer, but I’ll stick to the rock.
Good thing he’s not Jewish, the rabbi would still be…
Male circumcision is genital mutilation
Your religion is dumb
Not condoning it, but often times it’s not for religious reasons. Religion is dumb though.
Damn, no Wolverine circumcision?
I mean, for the sake of the hypothetical, perhaps we assume that Wolverine has undergone a deep religious awakening and has decided to convert to Judaism entirely out of his own free will as an adult of sound mind and body!
Sound mind? If we agree there is something wrong with cutting half an ear off as an adult, why not when slicing off part of a dick? Because of God? So delusional as well.
You absolutely can circumcise Wolverine he just won’t stay that way for very long, if anything he’s the most circumcisable guy ever because you can do it over and over again
Logan’s foreskin is the new Schrödinger’s cat.
he’s both the most circumciseable and least circumciseable person
He’s Canadian why would he be?
It’s not uncommon in Canada. But not necessarily for religious reasons.
Technically untrue, it just doesn’t last. Similarly, he can have his ears pierced, but the jewelry will quickly be expelled or subsumed. 🥲
Now I’m imagining wolverine putting in loop earrings and his skin just grows overtop of them until it looks like flesh earrings
Don’t even start down the biomod rabbit hole that could’ve been.
Or, do, but please get someone fromWhat If… on the line, too. 🤪
Your body can actually reject piercings naturally, so that’s likely what would have happened with him.
Infinite kebab glitch
This one tip wolverine doesn’t want you to know.
“Boss, he’s no longer regenerating… looks like he’s used up the last of his batteries to give us a little more Kebap.”
“Godspeed, soldier.”
Reminds me of True Blood where one of the characters loses her virginity after becoming a vampire. So every time she wanted to have sex, she would have to painfully break her hymen all over again because it kept regrowing.
EDIT: It was Deborah Ann Woll’s character “Jessica Hamby”, so not a minor character.
I know you are talking about a TV show, but most of what we were told about the hymen is a myth https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20220419-how-the-hymen-myth-destroys-lives
TL;DR: “virginity” and the state of the hymen are not really related. Bleeding or pain during intercourse is also not usually due to the hymen, but lack of lubrication or forcefulness of the penetration.
Few of us would have been told that it can change with age, that some of us aren’t born with one, or that it might totally disappear by the time we enter sexual maturity anyway. Or that a wide variety of activity can stretch or tear it, from exercise to masturbation to, yes, penetrative sex.
Emphasis mine, this is what I was taught in school
But this doesn’t mean there’s any validity to the idea that you can ascertain sexual activity with a hymen examination. One small study of 36 pregnant teenagers published in 2004, for example, found that medical staff were only able to make “definitive findings of penetration” in two cases. Another 2004 study found that 52% of sexually active adolescent girls interviewed had “no identifiable changes to the hymenal tissue”. A binary idea that either we are sexually active and have no visible hymen, or that we aren’t sexually active and do have one, is simply not accurate.
So TIL, it’s not actually a membrane and is not guaranteed to tear at some point. Really interesting read, and definitely an example of how women’s health research is just riddled with misinformation
Thx, but I didn’t want to know that…
Why aren’t his earlobes and nose really long, given he’s over 200 years old, and a lot of old people have extra growth in their nose and ear cartilage? I’m sorry, but until this is addressed in comics, I just can’t believe Wolverine is real.
Because his healing factor gives him the body of someone in like their mid-30’s, not the body of a really old person that would have extra growth in their nose and ear cartilage?
Easy, with his lifestyle his ears and nose are definitely younger than 200 years; he’s lost and had to regrow them several times both on paper and on screen.
Not sure about the ears, but he lost his nose for a while when his adamantium was removed. That probably reset its growth.
If anything he can be circumcised repeatedly, surely?

Just leaving this here, with the understanding that Jesus can magically heal people.
The man multiplied bread and fish, why not his own foreskin?
I could have gone at least three more days into the new year without having known about this.
Goddamnit.
Amen!
By this logic Laura Kinney’s hymen gets broken every time she has sex.
Good thing theres no such thing as “breaking” a hymen.
Don’t encourage her fandom.
Hymens don’t really exist
Or would it be more like getting a haircut to him?
Most hair maxes out in length because of wear
… What about teeth?
… Does he just keep growing teeth?
Also, zero or practically non-existent refractory period.
