I don't know if this has ever actually been covered in a comic(though it seems that it should have been by now), but what would happen if a portion of Wakandan Vibranium came into contact with Antarctic variety(Anti-Metal)? Would the Wakandan melt like other metals, or would it's ability to absorb energy/vibrations protect it from destruction?
What if someone attempted to create an alloy of the two? Would they cancel each other out and leave a metal with the actual strength of vibranium, but with no other special properties?
(Here's the info I got from Wiki about both)..
Wakandan variety
Wakandan Vibranium often referred to as Vibranium as its the most commonly known of the two varieties of Vibranium, is native to the small country of Wakanda. It possesses the ability to absorb all vibrations in the vicinity as well as kinetic energy directed at it, the energy absorbed is stored within the bonds between the molecules that make it up. As a result, the more energy Vibranium absorbs the tougher it becomes though there are limits to the capacity of the energy that can be stored however and although the exact limitations are unknown as of now there have been examples. One such instant was when the oil conglomerate Roxxon discovered that a certain small island in the South Atlantic had a foundation composed of Vibranium. Due to this Roxxon found it necessary to destroy the island and blew it up with bombs. Unable to absorb the force of the explosion, the Vibranium was destroyed but it did succeed in entirely absorbing the sound made by the explosion preventing damage to the surrounding area. Other abilities exhibited by this variety of Vibranium has been the ability to mutate humans, which caused the creation of the Black Panther Cult ages ago as they saw these people as demons. Its radiation has also permeated much of Wakanda's flora and fauna, including the Heart-Shaped Herb eaten by members of the Black Panther Cult and the flesh of the White Gorilla eaten by the members of the White Gorilla Cult which both give super human abilities to whomever eats them.
Antarctic variety
Better known as Anti-Metal, it is native to the artificially created Antarctic jungle known as the Savage Land. Unlike the Vibranium of Wakanda that absorbs vibrations, it produces vibrations. These vibrations produces a specific wavelength that breaks down the molecular bonds in other metals resulting in the liquification of other metals including the otherwise indestructible metal known as Adamantium though its effects on Uru is unknown. If huge quantities of Anti-Metal were gathered together and accumulated the vibrations given off by the entire mass would increase logarithmically as more was added. Theoretically, if the enormous mound of Wakandan Vibranium were composed of Anti-Metal instead, the resulting vibrations would liquefy metals throughout Africa and possibly beyond. Anti-Metal is also known for being able to become an artificial and unstable form of the Wakandan variety of Vibranium through certain particle bombardments on it. And supposedly the opposite is true as a fraction of the sacred mound of Wakandan Vibranium was apparently converted to Antarctic Vibranium by particle bombardment.
