Norman Osborn is almost as evil as the Black Panther

Withholding the cure for cancer? That's evil!

Also, how come some of the character tags for multiple characters with the same name have roman numerals (Captain America, Green Lantern) and some don't (Batman, Cheetah)?

	Except because he had cancer when he was given it, Deadpool's healing factor considers constant owie to be normal. Remove the constant owie and it might start fucking him up trying to return to a state of normal that no longer exists. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

See, that does make sense. However, there's been at least one case in comics before Secret Invasion (In his own title) where his healing factor was turned to the max, outpacing the cancer and making him look completely normal. That seems to contradict the Secret Invasion story.

Of course, I shouldn't exactly expect constant consistency from comics that are not written by the same authors, but... Well, his healing factor knew well enough what his body was supposed to be like for that entire arc.

That's mostly what's had me confused.

	However, the cancer was still active so arguably it, like Wolverine's admantium, was enough to retard its wilder excesses. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Exactly - and even if it DID give him cancer again, well, he's got cancer already, right? So how would that change things? Either he's cured of his cancer and he stops looking like a plate of raw hamburger, or he's cured and then his healing factor uncures him so he's back to square one. Either way, it's not going to kill him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe it would do things like prevent the splitting of cells that happens in the body? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	All right, I'll bite - how? And why hasn't it happened to Wolverine? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	By maintaining the status quo in the body? And Deadpool's healing factor doesn't work exactly the same as Logan's. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

But why would a healing factor do that? The whole point of a healing factor is that it HEALS; it accelerates the natural safeguards that are already there. It doesn't keep healing wounds that aren't there, it waits until there ARE wounds - or any sort of bodily damage - and corrects it. A healing factor that messes up the way the body works is not a healing factor, it's a harming factor.
