Could it be possible to have metal bones much like Wolverine?

Best Answers

The idea that metal can be bonded or combined with organic tissue is not as science-fictional as it sounds. For example, the mandibles of leaf-cutter ants and locusts are peppered with zinc, making them stronger and more durable. read more

The “metal bones” bit is perfectly possible, we do that all the time with hip replacements and internal splinting of particularly nasty fractures. Surviving that much surgery would be tricky though. It would take dozens of operations over many years. “Like Wolverine” is your big problem. read more

In the new movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine, we see how Wolverine (played by Hugh Jackman) becomes unstoppable. Adamantium, a rare (fictional) metal derived from meteor debris, is bonded to his biological skeleton. The metal is somehow liquefied, and then made to combine with his bones (and claws!) to create an almost invulnerable hero. read more

For example, Wolverine was once nuked, destroying down to a skeleton. Yet, he survived. That is clearly impossible. The only thing remaining was his adamantium skeleton, meaning everything else was gone. There was only the metal coating of his bones. read more
