Wolverine's healing factor, senses & skeleton

[JephYork]

In UX #116, Wolverine says that he "heals real fast" and that "the beast doesn't exist that can break [his] bones."

Is this the first reference to his healing factor and Adamantium skeleton? UX #98 showed that his claws were part of his body, but where did we first learn that the rest of his skeleton was covered in metal as well?

Also, is UX #100 (where Wolvie "scents out" that Marvel Girl is a robot) the first time his enhanced senses are referenced?

In UX 126, Proteus tries to possess Wolverine and he can't because of his adamantium skeleton. I think that UX 116 was the first reference to his unbreakable bones and UX 126 was the first time his bones were specifically stated to be adamantium.

Cool. What about his healing factor and senses? Was anything mentioned in his initial Hulk appearances?

-Jeph!

[Somebody]

Absolutely not - he was just a guy with claws in the Hulk issues.

I think the first use of the words "healing factor" may have been as late as the narration of UX 140, when the Wendigo's throwing him around.

[Michael]

No, I think it was UX 142, where it's mentioned that that's how he survived Pyro's flame.

[Somebody]

Yeah - UX 140, on review, mentions that his "unbreakable adamantium skeleton saves him from instant death", but no HF mention.

Thanks, guys. And Somebody, nice new avatar!

Jeph! During their day of rest in UX 137, Wolverine specifically metions his adamantium bones and adamantium claws.

...and issue #137 comes AFTER issue #126, no?
