    Her touch isn’t instant death, but it’s fast enough that it makes no difference to most people. His regeneration can keep up, but barely. And at the end of the first movie, he does touch her.

      Except her power is to take other people’s powers. Theirs stops working shortly after contact is made. His regeneration might help for a few seconds… Until it stops working because she stole it.

        It has been a while since I’ve seen the movie, so I looked it up to make sure. Her power is to borrow other people’s powers through physical contact. Essentially, if contact is short and he can regain his power fast enough (which he does), he’s fine. Those few seconds his regeneration helps with are all he needs.

          That doesn’t do a whole lot to help with the touch issue this entire thread was about. When people talk about wanting human touch, they don’t mean just a half second tap.
