How Good is Spider-Man’s Healing Factor?
WouterOne of the biggest questions that people ask about Spider-Man is how good is his healing factor? It’s not something that is given enough credit.
Spider-Man’s healing factor is actually quite good. He has a special super strength which allows him to heal wounds faster than normal humans. He can heal bruises and broken bones fairly quickly. And while he doesn’t have invincibility, he is a lot more resilient than some of his supervillain counterparts.
He also has an improved immune system, a spider sense and a good metabolism. All of these contribute to his ability to recover from injuries faster than a normal person. The only downside is that he can’t regenerate lost limbs.
In a comic book context, Spider-Man’s healing factor is not quite as impressive as Wolverine’s. His exoskeleton would also be a plus, as it would make him less susceptible to injury. But it’s unlikely that he would have such a super-strong suit. And it’s likely that he’d also have to shed it in order to move around.
The Spider-Man’s healing factor isn’t the most advanced of all characters. Despite his boosted immune system, he’s not nearly as resilient as Captain America. And he doesn’t have the same healing factor as Jessica Drew. But for what he needs it for, it’s definitely a step up.
And while the Spider-Man’s healing factor isn’t as impressive as the Incredible Hulk’s, it’s still better than what he’s gotten from his symbiote.
