In the Marvel universe, some heroes and villains have shown their strength and heroes and villains have fought on literal metal. Most notably, the frequently mentioned alloys that can be found in both hidden African countries and openly angry Canadians. We’re of course talking about the ancient and mysterious Vibranium and slightly more manufactured Adamantium that was key in creating the ball of Dangerous Weapon X aka Logan aka Wolverine aka Fastball Special.
Now while both can be used for good and bad depending on which metallurgist you talk to, the most important debate that has gone on over the years is; Which of these two popular materials is the strongest? Both under expert care and with almost unimaginable force can be bent to the will of the wielder when required, but when push comes to shove, which hero would you prefer to hold in line – in a suit that looks like a metal or Does anyone else have it as a personal cutlery set and can “snip off” it whenever they want? Well, after a thorough evaluation as well as an in-depth look at other Marvel metals that may be able to stand up against the two most talked-about types, the winner may really surprise you, bub.
Adamantium is stronger than Vibranium
There’s no doubt that Vibranium is a big thing in the Marvel universe, specifically, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s this element that plays a big role in Black Panther’s arsenal and was also used to create Captain America’s star-spangled shield. That said, if it’s down to basic requirements like density and durability, Adamantium is far stronger than Vibranium.
Debuting in 1969’s “Avengers” #66 when Ultron used it as a metal to create a new body, adamantium is a virtually indestructible substance that can withstand the strength of some of Marvel’s most powerful characters (their More about that later). It can withstand a nuclear blast and cut through almost any substance depending on the strength of the person wielding it. The best version to get your hands on is True Adamantium, which coats Wolverine’s bones which allows him to be very good at everything he does (even if what he does isn’t very good).
Although this metal can be replicated, it unfortunately has some disadvantages. The biggest issue is that this is absolutely one-time content. Once it is formed into any shape, it cannot be changed, which explains why it is used to make so many blades, tailored suits, and claw coverings. If you want something that’s a little more adaptable, you’d be better off heading to Wakanda and getting the metal that has been applied to some of the most iconic weapons in the Marvel universe. Of course, if a Wakandan gives royal permission.
Vibranium is a more adaptable metal than Adamantium.
Adamantium may be a strong and durable metal that can take licking and last, but Vibranium may also be in high demand. The difference with the Wakandan-based substance is that it can be put to a variety of uses that don’t involve giving the local hero retractable cat-like claws. Originating from a meteorite that fell on Earth a million years ago, Earth is now the only remaining place where there is metal that comes with technological and energy-manipulating properties. In one of its most basic uses, it is applied to Wakandan weaponry as well as the panther habit (the suit worn by T’Challa). The main trick of the Prince’s iconic costume is that it can absorb different types of energy and redirect it as a method of defense or attack, it also stores a variety of Vibranium weapons that allow the Panther to perform multiple missions. Gives advantage against enemies.
In addition to the Panther’s famous threads, Vibranium has also been applied to all sorts of notable objects in the Marvel universe. Hawkeye has not only used it in the tips of his arrows, but also mixed it to create reinforced concrete for the foundation of Avengers Tower. However, most notable is that Vibranium is actually mixed with a version of Adamantium called Proto-Adamantium which led to the creation of Captain America’s shield, making it one of the strongest weapons on the planet. It is this multi-use ability that makes Vibranium more powerful in a variety of ways.
Is Thor’s hammer Mjolnir stronger than adamantium and vibranium?
Superheroes teaming up is a standard occurrence in comic book lore, but in the rare event that Asgard’s greatest defender faces defeat alongside the Prince of Wakanda, how would both sides’ weapons fare against each other? Are? Wakanda may be home to an extraterrestrial metal used in all of T’Challa’s arsenal, but its strength against the iconic weapon of the God of Thunder has fluctuated over the years, sometimes leading to it having to withstand the hammer. Struggles as much as it is capable of taking a hit. Mjolnir itself is made of Uru, described in the comics as metal ore from the first moon in existence, and swung against Captain America’s shield in both the MCU and the main universe of the comics and left some scratch marks as a result. Went.
In the comics, as in the MCU, Cap’s shield is capable of stopping Mjolnir in its tracks, but not without sending a shock wave upon impact. As for adamantium in its purest form, both substances appear to be equivalent thanks to the occasion where Wolverine and Thor were thrown. In “Wolverine vs. Thor”, when Loki hypnotized the God of Thunder into attacking him, Logan’s claws were unable to even scratch the surface of Mjolnir while Thor remained on the defensive. At the same time, Thor did not even dent Wolverine’s claws, proving that no metal can affect another.
Can Magneto’s powers work on Adamantium or Vibranium?
Wolverine may have had a feud with a Norse god, but he’s proven to be no match for the master of magnetism. If the tough and highly advanced metal coating is a blow to Logan’s bones, it’s that Magneto can easily tear it apart from them like squeezing a tube of toothpaste, as shown in “X-Men” #25. It’s gone, and it takes a while for it to come back in. Comics. However, when it comes to Vibranium, things get a little tricky and, like many of the shiny substances under Eric Lensherr’s control, lean in a few different directions.
On occasions when Magneto and Black Panther have faced off, the metal-loving mutant has admitted that he cannot place a bead on T’Challa’s suit due to the vibranium, but has seen other vibranium-made objects. Like in other issues the doors are different. For example, in the case of Captain America’s shield, there was an occasion in “Super Villain Team-Up #14” where Magneto was able to stop him and deliver it back to the Super Soldier and his allies. But there have also been occasions where Magneto has fully admitted that he is unable to manipulate the Frisbee that has frightened evil people around the world. Perhaps it all depends on what shield Cap is wielding, however, while the original version included an adamantium variation (which would explain his controls) other versions have been pure vibranium. We’ll have to wait for some clarity (from a safe distance) on when Magneto arrives in the MCU to find out how things are handled there.
Mysterium is stronger than adamantium and vibranium
While the debate in the MCU may finally be settled as to which metal is actually the strongest, there’s a recently discovered competitor in Marvel Comics that turns others into tin foil and uses it to create one of Tony Stark’s coolest suits. is converted into one. In “The Invincible Iron Man” #15, Tech-Wiz used Mysterium, a metal originating from the White Hot Room, where the mutants had fled after the fall of Krakoa.
In a fight against a reanimated Wolverine corpse (these things are everywhere these days), the adamantium claws don’t fail to rip open Stark’s new suit, but they bend against it like dry spaghetti. Given that adamantium has proven to be the strongest in density and durability, bending so easily against this new metal completely knocks it off the top spot and a living and kicking Wolverine should realize that he has Now there’s a lot more to worry about than just Magneto.
Now that’s believed, given that Logan just made his way into the MCU via “Deadpool & Wolverine” and Adamantium is rumored to be joining “Captain America: Brave New World.” It is likely best used for slicing and dicing metal. The hardest metal may be on the chopping block for at least one universe in the future.
