If wolverine can't survive the liquifying of adamantium, how'd he survive the surgery in the first place smart people?
Yeah, I think it would be better if Kitty just shorted it out, or if the chip was placed on top of the skull under the skin, then they wouldn't have to drill through and break all the drill-bits.
Also Wovlerine isn't Superman, they can't break the skin, and clamp it open. He just won't need stitches for very long.
Story hole, I think Sabertooth should have also had a chip and that's why he wanted wolverine to break the programming to destroy the machine that zapped them with pain.
How come the mutants never freeze to death when stuck in the mountains with no coats? those suits must be quite cozy.
