15. Super-Healing (Wolverine/Deadpool)
- Company: Marvel Comics/DC Comics
- Real Science: Biology
- Possible to Recreate: Partially
Several characters in comic book history were known to be super-human healers. Wolverine usually can recover from just about anything, so he is often used as an example of this. However, his abilities are different than that of Deadpool in that Wade Wilson can regenerate his entire body even if he was burnt to a crisp with only one smidge of skin left behind.
This is all somewhat possible as we have already seen animals that can regenerate parts of their bodies. Snakes alone can regenerate tails, as can some lizards. Also, a scientist came across a gene that can help to stimulate stem cell growth. In lab mice, the scientist cut off their ears, toes, and other parts only to see them grow back when this gene was used. This led them to believe if it could work in humans, it could basically help people do similar to the comics.
