Well thats the thing.

I havent read the issue yet but there is a difference between having his entire eye gouged out and having a small laceration accross or simply have too much blood on them to see.

Was there a close up where it showed the wound in detail, if it was a superficial wound then he could have healed quite quick even with his reduced regen factor.

As for red affecting him more maybe romulous gave him a power boost or his powers have just got stronger over time as most marvel characters do, mutants especially have the whole secondary/continuing mutation excuse for that.

But then I’ll make excuses for anything except OMD/BND

Well keep in mind most of Wolverine’s fights with Omega Red were during the Claremont era so he could actually bleed to death. The healing factor increase was well after that which is my issue.

He manages to regrow or fix his eyes in minutes which used to take months but he still gets sapped by Omega Red that fast? Does not work with continuity.

As for the C-Synth it is not said. I assumed Wolverine would take it with him but we do not see that.

Good I’m glad they are sticking to his healing factor having got nerfed.

So what happened to the C-synth in the end?

i didn’t like the fact that wolverine quickly lost his strength in this fight but maybe it’s because of that one story wherein he made a deal with azrael (i think, not sure bout the spelling) which made his healing factor weaker?
