I was just reading through faces of evil:Prometheus and i noticed when Prometheus opening his Ghost zone portal some chick decided to follow him only to be cut in half(literally) cause the portal closed before she fully went through.Half of her was left on the alley while the other half was seen floating on the Ghost zone.
So i have to wonder,what would happen to someone like Wolverine if he experienced something similar?
Thoughts.

Nope. If the adamantium was left on the other side, his body would not grow it again. Of course, that is if we are not talking about Adamantium Beta. It has never been explained if Wolverine's second adamantium is Adamantium Beta. If it is, then the adamantium would eventually regenerate as well.

On a serious note, there aren't many characters who can survive having half of their body blown off. Wolverine might be able to handle it given the obscene amount of damage he's pulled through before. If you're asking if both sides would regenerate, an unwritten (and biologically retarded) rule of healing factors is that only the important half regenerates.

That depends on the physics of the portal. If actual cutting takes place, then it is unlikely. But if it is just temporal wormholes that do not "close" per se so much as cease to exist, then I could see it happening.

Again that depends on the portal. If it is something that has to close in order to cut through anything, why would it be able to cut through the adamantium?

It might be. Or the portal might collapse and the object causing the collapse might just be pushed or pulled through one of the ends in the collapse.
Or the resulting collapse could vaporize the less durable matter (flesh) in its explosion.
Who knows. One thing is for certain. If Wolverine is cut in half and he has Adamantium Beta, he will grow everything back again.

Yeah I might be overcomplicating it. For the sake of simplicity, I would say yes, a closing portal would be enough to separate two portions of a single adamantium piece.

I concur with Erik's assessment of what would happen with Wolverine.
Other characters with extreme healing factors, such as Silver Surfer, could survive it. Lobo and Martian Manhunter would end up with duplicates of themselves.

I have often wondered why people with portal making powers and technology didn't just start sucking people through portals and then closing them before they can get through. No amount of armor, durability, or power could really save you from a good portal slice.
Why would Martian Manhunter duplicate? That to me makes no sense, all of his powers come from his psionic control over his molecules. Unless he can duplicate himself right now, he should be completely unable to duplicate himself via portal slicing. Lobo sure, but not Martian Manhunter.

Unless he can duplicate himself right now, he should be completely unable to duplicate himself via portal slicing. Lobo sure, but not Martian Manhunter. First of all, because J'onn already has duplicated by being severed. He has also broken his body apart into miniature fragments before and still operated and had his body sliced apart and reformed. He can also generate pseudo-duplicates of himself by maintaining a small limb-like connection between the two bodies. Second, no, not all Martian abilities are the result of psionics. The Manhunter has lost his telepathy before and still functioned his other powers. To regain his TP, he used his molecular control to regrow the Martian organ that grants telepathy. I have no idea why you continue to assume that Martian powers are the result of psionic capabilities. Only their TP and TK are, nothing else.

Deadpool and General Eiling/Shaggy Man are a couple more who would survive.

Didn't J'onn have to consciously duplicate his mind beforehand in order to make a duplicate of himself? That's not going to help much if it's an unexpected portal cut.
