I read X-Men #5 lately. Great storyline. Like the idea the X-Men vs vampires. Wasn't sure at first but I really like it after all.

But there is something that is not working in that issue. First, it's a cool idea that Dr Nemesis shoot Wolverine with some nano technology to "shut down" his healing factor. But...

If the nanonites succeeded to shut down Wolverine's healing factor, that would mean they were active or on to begin their work when they enter Wolverine's body. So his healing factor was shot down directly from his dna. That's working. But was is not working is the fact, with his healing factor down, Wolverine's should then suffer from adamentium poisoning. The time he left Utopia to find Jubillee, he should have felt the poisoning.

On the other hand, if the nanonites were activated by Cyclops, I don't know, hours or days after they enter Wolverine's body, again, that is not working. If nanonites enter Wolverine's body and were dormant, his healing factor then will just simply wash them out of Wolverine system just like a flu.

Sorry, the story is great, but nothing stand. It's what we see more and more often with Marvel, a front story with nothing more. A story without depth. A lot of action and nothing more. Marvel give us action but they forgot their characters. It's like Kitty Pride in Uncanny X-Men. Have we seen Storm talking or be at Kitty's side? We don't even know how Kitty felt about Nightcrawler's death. They were partners and friends when they were with Excalibur. Nothing. All the X-books are about big action over action over action. Legacy was the exception. It was a kind of smooth book. Was refreshing...And what happen with Legacy...The Age of X..with a lot of action, and explosion and human kicking mutants butts and mutants kicking humans butts.

He gained powers via Vampirism. He probably didn't even notice the adamantium sickness since the vampire virus was making him feel so euphoric.

His healing factor was neutralized for most of an afternoon, before Jubilee bit him to give him vampirism, though...

Wasn't it turned off by remote control? How did you get most of the afternoon?

It was turned off, already. Scott didn't know that Logan was bit. The remote was to turn it on. They injected him, and then he went trekking through S.F. without any detriment... it was day when that all went down, I thought.

There was at least time for the commute, whether that's an afternoon, or whatever... I dunno. All I know is during Messiah CompleX, Logan lost his healing factor by way of Scrambler, and 2 seconds later, he was dying. He would have noticed something.

Scott knew Logan was bit. His plan was for him to get bit.

I was wondering about the poisoning...

I could accept a psychic link that advised Cyclops, when to turn it off. That or their Vampire tracker... waiting for Wolverine to be infected... but I guess, since I was able to explain it away... I don't need one.

I'm still confused about the point of reviving Dracula. They revived Dracula to take out Xarus, but then they went ahead and took out Xarus without Dracula's help. Then Dracula shows up to take over from Xarus. But what's the point there?

I would hope that if Wolverine was injected, and powers re-activated at the proper time....

Cyclops did something similar to Dracula
