Logan question[edit]

How does Marvel explain Logan's daughter's skeleton expanding in size as she grows? Wouldn't she die a painful death in a few years as her body grows, but skeleton doesn't/can't? Thanks Jenova20 (email) 08:49, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There's a great deal (99.5M) of online discussion on this matter, accessible via search on Logan's daughter growth. As there lacks any consensus on a definitive answer, you would do well to consider the reliability of the content sources. -- Deborahjay (talk) 12:15, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't actually think it would be that easy to source to be honest but you pointed me in the right direction! This source claims she doesn't have a full metal skeleton, just retractable claws. Thanks Jenova20 (email) 15:34, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Glad to help. Also appreciated is your willingness take action on my response. Search strategy: don't enclose any terms in quotation marks, sequence from most specific to least specific. -- Deborahjay (talk) 13:20, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. The least I can do is say thanks after you took the time to help. Sometimes a different wording can make a lot of difference. Thanks Jenova20 (email) 14:52, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Jenova20, the character in the movie is based on X-23. I skimmed through the article quickly and also thought back to when I used to read comics. Neither the article nor my memory has anything about her entire skeleton having adamantium. Just the claws in her hands and feet. Hope this helps. †dismas†|(talk) 22:58, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I realise that now, but the film didn't make that clear. After just watching the film and not knowing the character it would be really easy to get the impression that she has a full metal skeleton like her dad. Thanks Jenova20 (email) 15:49, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
