2AM THROWDOWN - Comic heads which is it...DOES WOLVERINES CLAWS POP FROM THE BACK OF HIS FIST OR BETWEEN HIS KNUCKLES!

[geechiedan]

And I distinctly remember reading the comics in the 80s and they specifically said his claws came from BIONIC HOUSINGS IN HIS ARMS..explicitly suggestng they were manmade and put there...so the bone claws retcon was BULLSHIT!

Logan's ONLY TRUE mutant power is his healing factor....thats it.

 

[blackbull1970]

The comics always depicted them from the back of his hands coming out of those housings on his gloves.

I never understood how they were supported when they came out. The claws are the length of his forearm, so when they came out, what was holding them to his hand?

The movies showed them coming out between his knuckles which makes a little more sense, but the question is how are they supported?

You know what....who cares, the shit is made up and is a fantasy....trying to figure that shit out is like watching that Pixar movie “Cars” and scratching your head giving yourself a migraine on where the fuck do they come from and who builds the cars.

My kids loved that movie when they were little and it drove me crazy trying to figure out a damn logical explanation on how they could exist.

HaHa!!!

 

[BATMAN]

Maybe how cats or animals have claws and they can tract or retract them at their leisure? IDK
I think coming from the knuckles makes more sense.

 

[Hey Julian!]

When did they ever pop from between his knuckles and how is that more realistic? OP high as fuck. Animal claws don’t grow from in between they digits. Stop fucking wit that cat before he scratch the shit outta you.

I got y'all...but y'all not gonna like the answer...

Wolverine's claws rest in his forearms when they are not extended. Originally, they were triggered by a tendon that activated when he moved his wrist. As time went on, he was able to trigger the tendon by thought alone. The claws are actually about 16 inches long, with 12 inches (a foot) protruding out as his famous claws. They came out from the top of his hand, through adamantium shafts & ports connected to his knuckles & forearm bones.

Now, when Magneto ripped the adamantium out of Wolverine, he began to mutate again due to his healing factor having no limitations. This is the famous time when he lost his nose & we found out that he has a bone claws & a whole lot of other mutant abilities (his heightened senses, speed & agility were all seen before as products of his training in Weapon X, not a result of his mutant powers). The bone claws followed the path of the shafts & bushings that were there previously, but the bone claws had two major differences. One is that they were curved, the second is that they wasn't as strong as the adamantium ones, being broken a number of times.

The movies came out & to make it easier, they protrayed Wolverine having the claws coming out in between his knuckles. In real life, this makes no sense, due to the fact that there are major nerves, blood vessels & muscles that control the entire spectrum of your hand usage. A sharp blade slicing through your muscles before healing around the same sharp blade sounds ridiculous.

However, by the 2000's, Wolvie got his adamantium back, lost it & got it back again & to follow the movies, his claws come out from his knuckles now.

They never explained why this was but I have a theory. I think that Wolverine's claws were a secondary mutation & that they were never supposed to come out. However, once Weapon X got a hold of him & coated the claws, the shaft & bushings were a way to make the claws come out instead of being dormant in his forearms, as his body wouldn't have him cut through his own muscloskeletal system. Also, if you were not aware, Wolverine actually "pops" through his skin every time he pops his claws. Every time.

However, when he lost the metal, I theorize that the bone claws, being used by Wolverine the same as the metal ones, basically"regrooved" themselves in their original pathway, through his knuckles. When he got the adamantium restored, they just recoated the claws & did not add the shafts of bushings. Evidence of this is how, in both the movies & comics, when he pops his claws, he bleeds profusely for a minute or so from where the claws come out.

So the answer is both.

Just a quick nerd addendum to your in depth answer... Every time Wolverine pops his claws they are cutting through his skin.

Of course with his healing factor holes are resealed when they retract.

They have them come out from the knuckles in the movies with Hugh Jackman. They did it with his bone claws and the metal ones.

On one of the Blue-Rays for one of those movies, they show Hugh using some brass knuckle type claw thing with the claws positioned between his knuckles in one of the behind the scenes.

 

[ghoststrike]

The non-Marvel studios movies didn't get it right

In the comics, its pretty much through the arm an unsheathed through the top of the hand

The movies fucked it up a lil

I'm left with this question after your answer

Bro, who the fuck are you. I know there's anonymity this board, but that is the best answer I've heard from a question of a complete fantasy like the comic book world.

Have you written books? Are you a comic book artist or writer? If so, where can I get your works because with that type of mind I'm interested in what you can do. Because I'm an author myself I appreciate the art of just vivid imagination

If you tell me that you're a JAG ( just a guy) I'm going to fall out of my chair

The movies fucked it up a lil

Naah I'd have to side with the directors on that change. The comics fucked it up first. They retconned the damn blades as being apart of his actual mutation so it would make more sense if you think about it that wayto put them inbetween . Now on the other hand (no pun intended) if you putting knives on someones hands as a weapon, most people would think to put it on top of the fist

 

[Heavenlywings77]

My bad I should have instead stated I never watched those films

 

[WattDogs]

Can I get a bibliography please. I mean you went so in depth.. I'd love to read some comics i missed

I'm a general comics geek, not a Wolverine fan so much, so I can't really give you much of a bibliography.

However, I do know that there are graphic novels:

Weapon X (where he got his adamantium).

Fatal Attractions (where Magneto pulls out his adamantium & the aftereffects, like the bone claws...although I'm not sure that he lost his nose in the graphic novel...I actually bought the comics then & it was a long drawn out story of Wolvie hiding for a gang of issues until he popped back up. I think Sabretooth tried to kill Jubilee or Psylocke or one of the X-Girls & that's why he revealed himself...don't quote me on that one...).

He regained the adamatium after they took it from Cyber & tried to make him one of Apocalypse's Horsemen (Death, I believe). I don't think they made that one a graphic novel.

Hopefully, this helps your reading out some.

Don't hurt yourself...

I'm just a normal guy. Big comic book fan for many years. Although I haven't been on top of it like in past years.

I've never written a book or comic book, although in my youth I had plans to do both comics & write a true novel.

My big dream was to remake the Outsiders (from DC Comics) from Batman's backup supergroup to street vigilantes. Of course, great minds think alike & 2 1/2 years later, the New Warriors comes out, basically what I wanted to do with the Outsiders.

Other than that, I'm just a normal joe.

How does them coming between his knuckles make more sense?

Is there a bone between your knuckles?

It would make more sense that on top of your knuckles a weird mutation happened that bone over grew and shot out...

The comics always depicted them from the back of his hands coming out of those housings on his gloves.

I never understood how they were supported when they came out. The claws are the length of his forearm, so when they came out, what was holding them to his hand?

I think this is what I'd read in one of the early "Marvel Universe" books way back when. It was a ranking of power with complete descriptions of everyone's abilities and powers.

That & Who's Who (the DC version) were my Bibles back in the day.

Although I'm a DC guy, Marvel's was way better, giving you details & a breakdown of most characters & how they worked.

DC gave you a blurb of history & a general idea of powers & abilities. You had to read the comics to get the slightest idea of how they worked.

You really don't know how diverse a comic company is until you see almost all the characters they ever created.

Hell, Marvel left out most of the Golden Age/Timely Comics charcaters & still had 26 volumes.

Same with DC.

And this is how it's done at Fox Studios.

I had the nerdiest thing in the world back in the day, there were these rectangular shaped cards that were big that had the statistics and attributes of each character, It had a drawing of them standing frontwards, sideways and backwards. I loved reading those things.

 

[WattDogs]

Even this isn't completely accurate.

They mention it in the blurb above the way the adamantium used to be attached to his bones, his bones are more like a fossilized metal now. It was an issue of X-Men that showed this.

That was the reason his adamantium is different from every other adamanitum type. Think they call it Adamantium Beta now.

Again, the comics is the source material which always showed the claws extending from the length of his arm though the top of his hand, not between the damn knuckles lol Also, Apocalypse used a more advanced bio-engineering process to fuse the adamantium to wolverine's body, thereby resulting in the metal no longer being a foreign substance that taxes his healing factor. For example, when wolverine was melted down to nothing but a skeleton, his cells, tissue, fibers, skin, etc regenerated onto the adamantium skeleton.

true true....

alright back on topic...you filled in a lot of blanks BUT with YOUR theories....

I contend that when they concieved the character they didn't think it thru that far...remember up until the Origins story which is what the early 90s...Logan's history and how his body works was a big mystery but from the late 60s on thru the 80s they always gave the impression that his claws were given to him along with the adamantium bone covering. I contend that logans only TRUE born mutant power was his healing factor and everything else was manmade.

The writers hit a snag when they came up with the magneto rips the metal out of his body...by all rights the claws would come with that...but all that leaves logan with is just hos healing factor and his training. But a clawless wolverine just becomes a strong guy with a healing factor that carries knives and thats just Warpath....lol... so they had to compensate by inventing the bone claws thing.

alright back on topic...you filled in a lot of blanks BUT with YOUR theories....

I contend that when they concieved the character they didn't think it thru that far...remember up until the Origins story which is what the early 90s...Logan's history and how his body works was a big mystery but from the late 60s on thru the 80s they always gave the impression that his claws were given to him along with the adamantium bone covering. I contend that logans only TRUE born mutant power was his healing factor and everything else was manmade.

The writers hit a snag when they came up with the magneto rips the metal out of his body...by all rights the claws would come with that...but all that leaves logan with is just hos healing factor and his training. But a clawless wolverine just becomes a strong guy with a healing factor that carries knives and thats just Warpath....lol... so they had to compensate by inventing the bone claws thing.

That in itself is a snag. Any metal that will graft to bone is non-ferrous and Magneto should've had no effect on his skeleton.

You get no disagreement from me. Remember, the claws were part of his suit in his first appearance in Incredible Hulk 181. Time has changed ol' Logan a whole lot.

So, writers filling in the details as time goes on? They do that to this day.

Hell, I still don't know how the plasma from the Green Lantern rings work. Every single explanation makes no sense or takes ridiculous & illogical leaps of faith.
