The Old Guard implemented in OA

If made out of omnicytes, yes to a degree. Omnicytes are one cell the performs all functions. They have multiple muscular arms for attachment and a triple cell membrane with limpet teeth like scales in the middle membrane. The whole body is a bone a muscle a nervous system and able to shapeshift. A viscoelastic fluid is the extracellular fluid they all reside in. It stores nutrients and helps to absorb blunt force. They have a body wide lung shaped like blood vessels for rapid delivery of oxygen and also as a fantastic coolant system.
The cells link up like origami. Bones are denser and rigid, muscles interweaved for application of force, etc. Little cilia on the skin allow colorshifting via structural coloration. The brain has to maintain a specific shape for the neural network, but long term memories can be stored genetically. Not in the genome, but an extra cellular organ that translates memories for high data storage and redundancy Incase the brain is damaged.

A being like this could appear to have wolverine like regeneration by having damaged cells move inward and healthy cells move out and link up. Actual cell replication can have a doubling time faster then human cells but slower then bacteria due to omnicyte complexity.
This is hard science. There is nothing theoretical about it. It is a fact that the above can exist if properly designed.
