Damn, when does it get so buffed? Reading 80s comics and his healing factor is “can sleep off a knife wound in a couple days” strong, not “regrows muscle in the middle of a fight”
I think you’re misremembering. In 1978 the X-Men went to the Savage Land and a dinosaur seriously chomped his arm. He basically shrugged it off saying he “heals real fast”
His healing has been dialed up and down over the decades, but unless it’s disabled (and he starts getting heavy metal poisoning), he heals from serious cuts in minutes at the most.
I think the gloves must’ve helped with the dino chomp, as well as his general macho attitude
I’m at around 1990 nowadays and although he says he is fine, other characters (who well know his powers) keep commenting on how rough a shape he is in and how he seems to be dying from the injuries he takes from nonstop adventuring
To me it seems like his healing factor can do a sprint to close a wound so he can finish a fight, but it can’t do the marathon of keeping him alive from constant injuries, unless given time to regenerate itself. And the regrowing flesh thing to me looks like the effort of running a marathon in the span of a sprint

Kind of like an adrenaline rush?
