Hugh Jackman’s portrayal of Wolverine in the MCU? It likely won’t surprise you to know that the response is a definite no, but you may be astonished to learn just how excruciating and impractical encasing your bones in metal would be in reality.
The initial concern is the process of merging metal with bone, not to mention the reality that the metal featured in the Marvel universe, adamantium, is completely fictional. Those well-versed in X-Men history understand that Wolverine acquired his unbreakable skeleton through an intensely painful operation that infused liquid metal directly into his bones. It is feasible for metal to adhere to organic matter, as evidenced by leaf-cutter ants, which possess zinc and copper atoms on their formidable mandibles. However, introducing molten metal into a person’s body would be unimaginably painful and perilous.
Even if an individual somehow survived the procedure of having metal attached to their bones, the aftermath would result in a severely diminished quality of life. Metallic bones would significantly increase a person’s weight and restrict their mobility. Even worse, the living bone tissue would gradually perish due to the metal impeding nutrient flow.
