Could Wolverine be assimilated by the borg?

[Mr Silver]

Short Answer: Yes, the Borg can assimilate most biological lifeforms and elements (including Adamantium), in fact its likely if Wolverine did exist in Trek, he'd be constantly chased by the Borg, I mean can you imagine it? Borg who regenerate all injuries, are virtually invulnerable and use claws as weapons? Scary thought lol

(Borg cube encounters Enterprise, *snikt* and the Enterprise is impaled on Adamantium Borg ship-claws)

(shudder)

I think not.
In one of those X-Men movies,
Wolverine was shot in the head. His body
spit the bullet out, through his forehead,
then finished healing.

I think the Borg nanoprobes wouldn't have a chance.

Could Wolverine be assimilated by the borg?

Seriously?

That was my first thought as well, but then again...

Well the scenes with Picard and Prof. Xavier would be rather interesting.

Ex. Wolverine's body doesn't or can't reject the metal encasing his bones.

I thought Adamantium was poisonous, and Wolverine's healing factor was all that was keeping him alive. His healing factor was in a constant state of repairing the damage. I also thought his ability to heal would be stronger if he didn't have the Adamantium skeleton.

I think I'm going off topic.

I guess it would depend also whether Wolverines body even recognized the nanoprobes and Borg appendages as foreign to itself. Ex. Wolverine's body doesn't or can't reject the metal encasing his bones. Perhaps part of the Borg nanoprobes would supress an autoimmune system response or would be so foreign as to not even be recognised by the body. If the nanoprobes work similar to the chips inserted into animals, then the body doesn't reject them and therefore we can have our super-regenerative Wolverine-Borg.

i was no till this

You are right. It's also this reason that X-23 (a clone of Wolverine) has a much stronger healing factor and heals quicker etc... as her skeleton is not covered in adamantium, just her blades.

Why did they cover all of Wolverine's skeleton in adamantium in the first place, not just the blades? I seem to recall something about strengthening the bones, but I guess the healing factor would make that irrelevant...

 

[DonIago]

Well, it does make it a lot harder to incapacitate him.

The Borg seemed to be able to magically reform their ships without any trouble. Maybe they already assimilated him and learned his regenerative secrets. That's how they were able to regenerate damaged areas of their ships. The are
the X-Borg!

 

[jolene_b_fan]

of course he could. they have technology far superior to him. they can restrain him, cut him up, etc. no match for borg. great question tho. Now assimilate Jean Gray, no way. not a class-5 mutant crazy chick.
