The 2013 The Wolverine explained the reason why Deadpool & Wolverine’s new Logan version lacks adamantium poisoning. With Paradox stating that the X-Men movie franchise’s original Wolverine variant was a necessary figure to Earth-10005’s stability, Deadpool & Wolverine presents the idea of anchor beings. Logan, Earth-10005 was destined for early annihilation since the original Wolverine passed a slow and terrible death from adamantium poisoning. But Deadpool looks through countless versions of all kinds across the multiverse until he discovers “the worst” one to replace the original.
From the “prime” form of the character, multiverse versions can be rather different or rather similar. Almost all of Deadpool’s multiverse versions, for example, wear red-and-black outfits and have a healing factor; Loki variants often look quite different from one another, while Wolverine variants often survive through terrible but unique catastrophes.
Jackman’s new Wolverine saw the X-Men die in his universe, but he remained healthy enough to fight by the dramatic ending of Deadpool & Wolverine. Maybe Earth-10005’s anchor could have escaped his destiny, but that would have meant a radical shift in his path 84 years before he passed away.
The Nagasaki Nuclear Bomb Possibly Damage the Adamantium Skeleton of Original Wolverine
The original Wolverine Variant by Hugh Jackman Might have side effects from the nuclear bomb blast. Officer Ichiro Yashida saves Logan in a Nagasaki POW camp at the beginning of The Wolverine. A nuclear bomb strikes the earth close by right away, and Logan persuades Yashida to hide in the trench he breaks Logan out of Logan also leaps inside and shields Yashida, but the nuclear blast melts off his skin. Although Wolverine’s healing factor let him recover from the Nagasaki nuclear bomb blast, it’s likely his body absorbed the later radiation, hastening the breakdown of his adamantium skeleton.
Given an exceptional case of adamantium poisoning, Logan’s healing factor no longer works for Wolverine; most other variations do not have this issue. There had to have been a particular incident influencing the metal in Wolverine’s body; the Nagasaki nuclear explosion seems to be the most likely choice. Furthermore, upon his reunion with Ichiro Yashida decades later, Yashida momentarily removes Wolverine’s healing factor, therefore compromising his body’s capacity to withstand the adamantium covering of his skeleton even more.

The Wolverine Shows Why Hugh Jackman’s Two Primary Logan Variations Are So Different
A few specifics in The Wolverine help to justify the theory that this Logan was meant to die early in his timeline. Telling Wolverine, “I see you on your back, there’s blood everywhere,” the precocious mutant Yukio foresees his death. In your palm, you are clutching your own heart. It’s not beating. This foreshadows exactly how Wolverine dies in Logan—that he dies clutching Laura Kinney’s hand. The knowledge that Wolverine discovers his death via Yukio thanks to Ichiro Yashida accentuates the theory that sparing Yashida from the Nagasaki nuclear explosion sealed his fate.
In the deleted ending sequence of The Wolverine, Yukio also presents Warrior a package with his comic-accurate, yellow-and-brown outfit. When Wolverine sees the costume, he smiles; he never wears it later though. Logan does not wear the suit, therefore rejecting his full-fledged Wolverine character off-screen, although Deadpool & Wolverine’s new variation welcomes it. Whereas the new Wolverine failed to save the X-Men and so earned a new chance to be a hero on Earth-10005 at almost the same age, the original Wolverine constantly risked his life to save others around him.
The nuclear bomb explosion of the Wolverine might have produced another sort of adamantium.
The USSR created Carbonadium in the comics, a duplicate of adamantium far less strong but far more flexible. Additionally, radioactive, carbonation calls on individuals who handle it to safeguard themselves in several ways.
Omega Red, one of Wolverine’s comic-book archnemeses, employs two retractable carbonation tentacles on his arms to sap his opponent’s vitality. Though neither Omega Red nor carbonation ever showed in Fox’s X-Men movie series, Wolverine’s radiation-infused skeleton might have been the forerunner of carbonation in films.
Unless he drains energy from his victims or wears a special carbonation synthesizer, which can also melt carbonation and change it into new weapons and tools, Omega Red is gradually poisoned by his carbonation implants, much as Wolverine’s skeleton at the end of his life is. If mutants hadn’t gone extinct and scientists like Hank McCoy had enough time to investigate Wolverine’s adamantium poisoning, they might have found that latent radiation caused the healing factor decay and that the best approach to address this problem was to create a special synthesizer capable of stripping Wolverine’s adamantium from extraneous energy.
