So "Hargart is so angry that his blood boils, and burns his wounds closed" wouldn't cut it? He'd have to say "You know that Godzilla power? I reckon his wounds sealed because his blood boiled. I'm gonna do that!" or something. I know which I prefer.
I agree that a -20 improv mod is probably appropriate, so this kind of gaming is going to be high level only. I can't remember the numbers, but I think a 1w healing ability is good enough to get rid of a single wound, so 1w2 anger would do the same, and 1w3 anger (getting on for heroic) doing the same as 1w2 healing (self only, though) doesn't sound wrong. I'd frown on it being done too often, and probably veto it (or make it -40) if the character doesn't have anything to be angry about!
