The Verdict

The Wolverine comparison is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

The Evidence

Thymosin Beta-4 (which TB-500 is a synthetic fragment of) plays a role in cell migration and wound healing in lab models. Calling it "Wolverine-level regeneration" is like calling a Band-Aid "Iron Man armor." Animal studies show modest wound-healing acceleration. No human trials for tissue regeneration. The nickname alone should be a red flag.

The Burn

The Wolverine comparison is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. At least X-Men pays for their mutations.
