I don't really believe in magic,...I know, Dale. I don't really believe in magic, as well, and I also think that 'magic' is really psychic powers. It's a easy theory, and some people seem to overlook that.<br /><br />I've had a couple of theories about Wolverine myself. I think that the claws are pushed out and held in by strong muscles in his forearms. I wonder what Adamantium is made of, though... It's a clever idea, but what I don't get is exactly how it managed to bond itself to his bones. Surely it would just end up in one almighty lump somewhere? Still, at least he's not real.<br /><br /><br />Although, if he WAS real, he'd be very helpful...<br /><br /><br />I don't know. I've just watched the X-Men movies again and I'm buzzing with epic action exhilaration ;)<br /><br />I like seeing comments like that, because it means I can improve Jaguar.

The first general notion I have is that most powers described as superpowers or Magic are really Psychic in nature although comic book characters usually deal in far greater levels of power than any ordinary Psychic would ever claim. Superstrength and flight are varieties of gravity control and so on. Some superheroes are apparantly using their astral bodies to pull off spectacular feats.And supersenses are varieties of Clairvoyance.<br /><br />There are also several problems with superheroes that everybody ignores. Wolverine's claws will never tuck neatly in his forearms, for one example, and he will have difficulties arranging the natural bones in his forearms with the switchblades so that they will not interfere with each other. Furthermore, once he has the blades out, he has nothing to conrol them or hold them in place other than a little strip of flesh on the backs of his hands, easily torn. If he hacks too hard at something he will rish disarming himself. It is not like he is doing something like gripping kung-fu tiger claws with his hands, which would be the real-world analogues of his claws.<br /><br />I have no problems with Adamantium, BTW, and I have an idea or two about whgat it must be made out of.<br /><br />Best Wishes, Dale D.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
