I think Wolverine must work on the "dollar bill replacement" method. If you have 51% of the damaged bill, you'll get a replacement.
So if you cut Wolverine in half, only the bigger half will grow back.
It's the part with the brain. It's also very hard to do when he has his adamantium.
However, it's worth noting that the adamantium is toxic and his powers don't work as well while they're constantly fighting it, meaning non-metal Wolverine has regenerated from clumps of cells that no longer had a brain. This implies his mutation can both rebuild his entire body from scratch and that a brain isn't necessary either, BUT the largest cluster still probably was the only active one, otherwise we would have had multiple Wolverines growing from the cell clusters that survived brain death, so, to me, the more interesting question is what happens if you eradicate his brain and then cut the remainder perfectly in half?
One must assume it would indeed result in Cloneverines. It's only logical.
I don't read comics but some googling says wolverine managed to regrow completely from a single drop of blood so.... Yeah....
He also merged with Deadpool for a few minutes after both where turned into soup. https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Logan-Deadpool-Gross-Hybrid-in-Wolverine-23.jpg
Yeah but only because the drop happened to fall on a particularly cosmic crystal (cosmic enough to have a capitalised name and all; with an apostrophe in it, even!).
What if you slice him in half length-wise?
Not to mention the whole bones that can’t be broken because of the super strong metal.
So… pre bone infusion Wolverine maybe? Although if he lost an arm and it grew into a new person would they have a functioning brain?
For that matter, even if he didn’t, would a healed wolverine remember who he is if his brain suffered enough trauma?
Which opens up a Pandora’s box of issues such as CTE’s j side his encase skull. Sure his brain can heal that damage but the memories, etc would be gone right?
Thats literally the start of Hugh's wolverine movies. So we have at least one solid answer (that I know of) and its no, his memories get fucken erased from the healing or something.
You’re right so in that case, a more realistic danger is that you can sufficiently cause him to lose his memory and then convince him that he’s fighting on your side when he heals enough but with no previous memories.
It sure does!
The Marvel series 'Agent X' actually addresses some of this with Deadpool fighting to regain his skills and memories after being nearly atomized.
In Australia, they'll give you the fraction of the note value between 20 and 80% of the full value:

Wolverine just isn't allowed to lose more than 80% 👍
Hmm, you're making a good point and introducing two new not-yet-considered elements.
Wolverine is only 5'3" (160cm) tall. Was he originally taller, but had a body destroying even, that only 80% of him was able to grow back rendering him shorter than he was before.
Wolverine is Canadian. So neither the USA or Oz money rules apply, but instead Canadian rules. What those are, I do not now.
