cut through adamantium?

i dont believe its hot enough

I would say yes. Lightsabers are supposed to be able to cut through anything besides other energy, and, even though obviously adamantium isn't in the same story-universe as Star Wars, I think it would be implied that it could cut through that as well.

Of course we don't know for sure unless they made some sort of crossover...which they'd never do lol

oh god.... put this in a Star Wars Forum and 70-90% will say yes, put it in a comic forum and the majority will say no

That's so true.

Well I am not a Star Wars geek but I do think a light saber can cut through adamantium. Or atleast it should.

I mean come on a weapon used by their universes protecters should be able to cut a metal created by lowly Earth tech.

yea, this was a big issue i believe with the darth maul vs wolverine thread so i was jw

Not good. *slaps head* We don't know...and everyone will have their own opinion. Mine? They stalemate...but it's about as worthless as anyone else's opinion.

Probably, I also think the guy from WildCATS with the infinitely sharp blades could cut adamantium.

In episode one, when they were trying to evade the droidekas toward the beginning... (using an example not from the movies would be folly) ...the Nemoidians lowered the blast doors and, you may recall, it took Qui-Gon over a minute to burn through the doors. That is the only time when a lightsaber has met any resistance with anything.

...But it did. Which means it has finite powers.

It cannot (instantly) destroy anything.

Adamantium can withstand nuclear explosions without retaining heat. Thusly, I'd say adamantium. Whoever says the Hulk can tear it apart shall be instantly slain. This was the same person who said hulk could lift 100,000,000,000 tons.

this has been brought up before. some kind of thread like 'wolverine's claws vs lightsaber' or osmething stupid.

i think the general consensus was that lightsabers are supposedly pure energy or light so it should cut through adamantium, even if it takes a while.

And 'Lord Magnus', Hulk HAS bent it and broken it, and Hulk HAS lifted a billion ton mountain.

look it up.

That wasn't really resistance though, it was sheer thickness. The lightsaber, if you look closely, isn't long enough to go down all the way to the other side, so he couldn't just in one swoop clear all of the blast doors.

he has not lifted a billion ton mountain!

read the comic

if he would lift a billion ton mountain he would be crushed from the pressure from having a very very very big object on the huld which is like 5 times the siez of a human so he would be crushed or like 50 feet into the ground

Secret Wars #4. He did it. *sings* drooooppp iiittttttt

Iron Man: "There must be two miles of rock above us! How can even you hold that up Hulk...?"

Hulk: "I'm just BRACING it. I've got LEVERAGE. Still.. I don't know how long... seconds... a minute maybe..."

-----------

Truly infinite strength on display.

He BRACED the mountain, for less than a minute, whilst Reed supercharged Iron Man's repulsors.

Hardly a Superman-level feat, my friend.

Where the hell did Superman come into this? He's a totally different level. He's moved entire planets.

I'm tired of arguing fanboys. Two years of it is more than enough. No wonder I don't come in here anymore.

Hulk lifted, braced, heaved, shat out, whatever, one billion tons. How many other superheroes can do that? A handful, tops. The point is he did it. Drop it already.

Wasn't it 150 Billion tons?

was it? its been a while. i think it might be. makes the feat even more respectable

he didn't

About the door thing , their was actual resistance their , the blade didn't slice cleanly inwards , from the look of it , it was being rammed inwards by qui-gon...........

It took a heck of a long time for those blades to cut through the doors.

He was having to force them thorugh, with visible effort.

If they could cut anything easily, then he'd use no effort at all - they'd simply slice through as easily as moving through air.

Lightsabres are very overrated.

To answer the question I think that they can.

It would take a hell of a lot of time and the jedi is likely to die of old age but eventually they would.


not that it would make any difference in a battle.

Don't wolverines claws deflect Silver samurais tachyon sword that can cut through anything. Aren't tachyons faster then light?

If you notice in that scene he's cutting through the first doors fairly easily, then he senses (hears.... whatever) the blast doors close

At that point he shoves his saber further in (with no effort) but we don't see it come the whole way through the other side

I think it took so long to get through those blast doors because the lightsaber wasn't actually cutting the whole door, it didn't reach the whole way through, so he had to keep it in place longer until the parts he couldn't reach melted off..... which gave the bad guys enough time to call in battle droids with shields


works for me

Depends on what color lightsabre.
And also, the paramolecular oscillation-conversion dynamics of the adamantium.

depends on the color? i don't think different colored lightsabers are actually different frequencies, are they?

any structure weighing anywhere close to 300 trillion pounds would've collapsed to rubble and memory under its own weight. not so much a feat as overexaggeration meeting bad writing. shit, it wouldn't even need to weigh close to that. a fraction of a percent of that weight would crumble. and bracing a certain amount of weight doesn't imply you can truly lift it, either.

not that i give two shits about hulk, but that's just a stupid thing to take seriously. really it is.

300 trillion? where the hell did you get that number??

It was 150 BILLION tons. He actually didn't lift it. He just braced it for a while.

150,000,000,000 times 2,000

300,000,000,000,000 pounds. three hundred trillion pounds.

The weight on the Hulk was never measured..... it was just a high number the writers thought of to make the cover look more exciting:

of course, the real feat of this scene is from Iron Man:

(just had to get that in there)

so, hulk's not really holding that much weight at all, only whatever's directly above the hole he and stark managed to make. had i known it only said "150 billion" on the cover, a non-canon source o' information, i wouldn't have bothered doing the math.

also, iron man blows out the entire side of a mountain, and it doesn't collapse? and ya still thought it was a good source to tap for hulk's "true" strength?

Exactly

Its fanboy vs. fanboy. In the movies only magnetic fields, forcefields, and energy weapons like Grievous' guards used stopped the blades. Cortosis is EU and not considered canon by many.

I love to hear everyone's arguement about Adamantium, but the fact is that nobody ever provides evidence or explanations on how it achieves its ridiculously unrealistic properties.

Ack! Double post

no...and Juggernaut would use a lightsaber as a toothpick.


*waits for the jedi fanboys to retaliate*

How did I let this thread stay open this long??

Part of me wants to see someone refute WD...just for the humor value. But no...this sort of thing never leads anywhere good.
