which of these 2 metals is the best all around? (i.e. whats the stronger/more indestructible out of the 2?)

Grimm22
Whats more durrable? Adamantium

However, Vibranium absorbs sound and the shocks of attacks.

So if I had to pick one I would pick Vibranium

Depends what you want it for

Broly92
1.Depends is it primary adamantium?
2. Antimetal vibranium can destroy any METAL
3.Regular vibranium can be cut by adamantium easily

no expression when battleing you are put in both offensive and defensive positions, so whats the best for both?

Has anybody broke Adamantium? Colossus has broke out of Vibranium bonds once before so I would think Adamantium is the stronger.

Fixed big grin

What if there was a way to combine the 2 metals?
Adabranium? Indestructable metal that can absorb.

snoopdogg
What's that other metal called? Vandanium or some sh!t.

They invented adamantium trying to duplicate the process they used to create Cap's shield.

Adamantium can't be damaged by physical force. Vibranium can be easily damaged. Iron-Fist ripped BP's suit all to hell with a punch.

long pig
The hell?

Maestro
Vibranium absorbed a massive punch by Gladiator, which earlier took the Thing out, so it's pretty durable.

The only person I know of destryogin adamantium is Hulk, but that was secondary adamantium. Think the only way to destroy adamantium is by higher entities like the celestials,galactus,etc.

Again it depends on who your battling.

Ya know something else I remember that King Thor melted Adamantium with some eyebeams.

Huh? confused

You mean Cap's sheild?

Inhuman
Vibranium equals better defensive weapons. meaning Shields, armor, ect.
Adamantium equals better offensive weapons. Meaning Knives, swords, bullets, spears, ect.

I dunno about PURE vibranium, but Black Panther's Vibranium Mesh suit can be cut pretty easily.

Indeed.
With simple knives in fact. It stops impacts like bullets and punches, but heat or slicing or pin-point stabs get through sometimes.

Again, Iron-Fist beat Panther near death and ripped that over glorified condom of a suit into pieces.

Grimm22
With his Iron Fist no expression

Iron Fist >>>>>>>> Adamantium Claws wink

only battle i know of when adamantium against vibranium is between Captain America and Wolverine in Capt. America Annual 8 but like it says the front of the shield is mostly adamantium so the claws just mess up the finish but not actually cut it.

Thats whats i thought too, but in the Ultimate universe Cap's shield is made completely of adamantium

sapphiremouse
well after reading abit...didnt know this. the entry to the handbook of marvel universe is false. in 2001 Avenger annual they said the shield is vibranium/steel which took place after Capt. America annual 8. so im not sure where the writers got all crossed up.

im old used to the old ways in comics, seems they always changing ideas and concepts.

sapphiremouse
i know nothing of the 616 or ultimate universes. i havent bought a comic in about 6-8 years. ive just my collection and general knowlege from back in the 80's and early 90's

Think i got all disgruntled when they made wolverines claws actually apart of him and made out of bone. think marvel was desperately lookin for a gimick to sell issues.

Ive always went with knowing that his forearm bones had trenches dug out to where the claws slid back and forth like a track. ooo well.

Colossus-Big C
Adamantium definitly

colossus broke vibranium before

Bentley
Adamantium is actually harder and heavier, Vibranium in the other hand absorbs kinetic energy, which makes it uber to make weapons and space ships, since absorbing energy the engines lose less power. Adamantium is just hard.

Funnily enough Adamantium has been destroyed in the Guardians of the Galaxy future.

You're right the shield was originally a steel, and vibranium mix, but then Marvel switched it to adamantium, and vibranium, making it nearly indestructible. I guess that in today's comics, steel just seems very weak.

King Castle
it was a writer's mistake and also a bui mix up that stated cap's shield was vibranium and adamantium composite.. in actuality it is still just an unknown steel alloy and vibranium..


anyways............

Adamantium also has a good lvl of kinetic absorption as stated by wolverine... Vibranium just happens to be better at it, not only does it absorb kinetic energy but also various energy types as well as store it. but it is still weaker then adamantium and it also has limits to how much energy it can safely absorb...

Cap's shield is the exception b/c it is not just Vibranium but a completely unique composite metal...

but to answer the question Adamantium is the strongest of them two. Vibranium has bn shredded by bone claws from wolverine to sabretooth.. both have damaged it.. wolverine has done it on cardiac vibranium armor and sabretooth on both Black panther's vibe suit and Mavericks vibranium armor..

also ironfist has ripped and torn black panther's vibe suit with blunt force damage..

also Mr. Fantastic has severely damaged Klaws vibe Claw cracking the outer shell with a weapon blast.

Vibranium has bn shown on panel damaged repeatedly on panel prior to hudlin's run and well after. Hudlin's Run just made vibranium look cooler.

I hate this threadstarter

King Castle
do you want to team up and get him banned?

i help you with your problem and you help me with mine. evil face

Vibranium:

Pro's: Light, absorbs high degree of kinetic and various energy, malleable can be made into various items...

Negative: strength and durability barely above high grade steel, titanium and below: adamantium, Carbonadium and Adamantine

Adamantium:

Pro's: highly indestructible Dense, absorbs/Reduces Impact due to density.. requires exceptional heat to heat up due to density.... capable of disrupting certain magic/energy attacks due to density.

Con's : it is heavy as F$#@, can be radioactive depending in its manufacture and or highly toxic........ limited in its use for weapons due to its non malleability when it hardens hard to work with unless possessing molecular rearrangement tech.. the cost is astronomical a handful of shurikens would cost in the millions to create due to time and resources.. few ppl know how to make Grade A adamatium..

hmm..mhmm

a wakandan vibranium shield will buffer a ton of the force, this goes for armour also


adamanium is best used for rendering objects indestructible, usually offensive weaponry and the like, whereas the the more specialty items have either wakandan vibranium (or more rarely) antarctic vibranium in their designs.

a good exaple of the different applications for both metals in a character comparison are placing wolverine against t'challa (BP). one is nearly all offense (with some defensive properties) oriented in design whereas the other is for stealth (with some offensive (A. vibranium claws) applications).

technically when speaking of vibranium, it's usually wakandan since antarctic is rare and it's properties are very different than the wakandan element

Darth Jello
I thought adamantium had W-Vibranium in it which is what contributed to it's durability, just like Cap's shield. W-Vibranium is not as strong but is great at absorbing shocks and sound waves. Adamantium is definitely stronger but anti-metal can liquefy any metal, including adamantium I think.
