A healing factor is a term used to describe the ability of some characters in fiction to recover from bodily injuriess or disease at a superhuman rate. The term itself is most commonly applied to comic book characters in the Marvel Universe, although other quickly-regenerating characters exist.
The efficiency of a character's healing factor, as with all "powers", varies frequently, depending on the situation and the writer writing it, with, as a story is being told, drama being the key factor. Broad displays of artistic license have often led to debates among fans of particular comic book characters that have superhuman rates of healing, such as Wolverinee, Deadpool, Sabretooth, Hulk, etc, as to which comic characters heal faster, or exactly which level their healing factors are.
