Wolverine's Claws

[Hado]

Just sitting here I started thinking about how Logan's claws would work. (Nerd alert )

 

The length of the blade cant be any longer than the distance between his wrist and elbow, so that he can still move the joints.

 

I'm 6'6" so on me the distance is 11 1/2".

If the claws need about an inch to stay in Logan's hand so they anchor down, on me the length of the blade would be 10 1/2"

 

My girlfriend is 5'5" closer to Logan's height and on her the distance is just under7"

so minus the inch in the hand the blade would be under 6"

 

That's shorter than the filet knife in the kitchen, and while Wolverine is the best there is at what he does, he'd have to get really close to do it.

 

(please forgive my cruddy drawings)

Water Cooler!!

Isn't that assuming that Wolverine's wingspan is the same as your GF's?

[HeyMoe]

I thought Wolverines claws were instantaneous bone growths, rather than 'blades' that hide under the skin?

 

 

[Speedy-D]

Nah, they're adamantium and part of the process that was done to him. I guess they replace those old bone growths he was born with.

He may have longish monkey arms

He certainly does when Kieth is drawing him.

What is this Spinal Tap?

 

inches look like this "

 

a foot is this '

I'm sure I remember an Xmen story where Magneto rips the adamantium from Wolverines body, leaving boney claws sticking out of his hands.

I fixed it after I scanned

Unfortunately you're correct

Joe Mad! Too

[Bio-Rupp]

As long as Hugh Jackman plays him... it doesn't matter if the claws come out of his ankles

[Doc Joe]

If they retract at an angle they could be longer...

 

how the heck do they work anyway...

 

well...I'm a doctor and the tongue is still a bit of a mystery to me...probably like that.

 

Equally - they are indestructible but they have to be attached to some part of him, so presumably they could be ripped out?

 

[Hado]

They did warn Daken that his one adamantium claw wouldn't be as stable without the metal bones....I don't really know what bones have to do with it, you think he'd need adamantium tendons holding them in there.

Doesn't his healing factor kinda give him those?

Daken's got a healing factor too :shrug:

[Bio-Rupp]

At least in Havok & Wolverine mini the artist's interpretation gives enough upper forearm room for the "housings" that holds the claws in place... of course that's thinking in pre "Origin" terms
