That would be so fantastic. Closer and closer to Star Trek technology. Unfortunately, it has a long way to go to become clinically relevant. Encouraging, though.

IIRC the comics established that Logan’s bone claws were a natural mutation during the story arc when Magneto stripped the Adamantium from his living skeleton.

that makes sense. they didn’t want to leave him weaponless so they rewrote his history. oh marvel.

( i havent read the latest stuff, but apparently they made all the mutants immortal? which makes sense because nobody ever stayed dead anyway. lol. )

You wouldn’t download a bone, would you?

Lockhart obliviated you, that’s why you can’t remember his name.

It will take more than an adamantium skeleton to wind up built like a brick shithouse. I’ve never actually seen a brick shithouse in the wild, so ymmv.
