Curious...can DCNU withstand adamantium claws from Wolverine? Two swipes from Wolvy.

Probably not.

First swipe slices his head off, next one cuts him in half.

Then Aquaman avenges him by throwing a starfish at Wolverine.

I never really understood the plot device that is Wolverine. Adamantium doesen't make things "sharper" only stronger. His claw cones dont even have a sharp cutting edge only a strong point for stabbing. So no he shouldnt be able to. But he also shouldnt be able to cut anyone even in Things durability. Stab them maybe.But still doubtful given his strength level.

It depends on how sharp they are.

If they are only a molecule thick at their extreme end, then yes, their strength and toughness would mean the tips would never dull.

@Shadow

It depends on the artist, often they're shown as thin razor-like blades... stated on panel as being less than 1 millimetre thick.

And they were sharpened to the point they could cut through near anything. Described that way on-panel. What more you can want...

How are they sharpened, btw?

That's a good question - wasn't revealed. Antarctic vibranium (anti-metal) would be my guess...

Oh. Didnt remeber them being sharpened. I thought they just covered his non edged bone ckaws and they somehow became that sharp. Makes more sense I guess.

Wolvie probably sharpens the claws on his indestructable chest hair.

I believe handbooks use the "explanation" you mentioned. That lacing them with adamantium made the already razor-sharp edge even sharper. Hard to imagine, but it's comics.

Bone claws were also edged, he cut a Danger Room robot in half with them. It all depends on the artist, some of them are just lazy and all we can see is a round shape which would be good only for stabby-stab using the real world logic, as you pretty much said. They should be either like razor blades or at least have a triangular cross-section (thick, but capable of cutting).

He was shown using a whetstone in Guggenheim's run, lol.

So long as they're just in the room with him and not in anyway attacking his body, yes Superman can withstand them .



Enjoy it while it lasts, this is like Thor getting KOed everytime he appears in a comic. A short but sweet period of correction for all the shit that he does (that he shouldn't be able to do), for the sake of his fanatical following.

Guess I just saw the lazy artists lol. I like to re profile and sharpen blades as a hobby so maybe Im looking into it to much. And Thor has a reason for doing these things. He is a god and has one of the most powerful weapons in the universe. Magic covers just as mmanythings as the power cosmic. They all have a reason for doing the things hes doing. The plot.

Nope, Thor makes ****-all sense, when he wins via PIS.

His father (the source of Mjolnir's powers), is a piddling skyfather, it's only PIS (Gaeia's spark or whatever) that allows him to survive fights with characters that would splatter Odin across the heavens.

Anyway, back to Superman, yeah, his ass would get shredded by the claws.

NU Superman would be hurt, but he'd take it better than Gladiator, that's for sure.

I stand by my opinion that Post Crisis Kal would be able to tank them unfazed.

You're sure it's not spelled Thanus? shocklaugh

Meh, tomato/tomoto. Same difference.

I'm curious what instances of Superman being sliced and diced leads people to believe he'd be hurt here

DCnU Supes?

pre-boot Supes tanks it with a laugh.

DCnU Supes gets cut, but not enough to be seriously injured.

I think most people are basing this off of the fact that DCnU Supes hasn't show durability even remotely close to Pre-boot Supes. People shouldn't be basing it off of what happened with He-Man though, as prince adam's sword is magical, and wolvie's claws obviously are not, unless we count PIS as magic.

I am basing my opinion on Doomsday shooting his bone claws straight through amped pre-boot Superman's shoulder, as h1 would say, like liquid.

Yes, Wolverine is weaker. But I wager his claws are sharper, and so would need less force to pierce him. They would also be stronger I believe, and so more force could be transferred.

And if that happened to pre-boot, even you seem to think DCnU is less durable. Don;t forget also, that Wolverine has the luxury of picking and choosing with his hits, its not like Superman is fighting back or dodging.

I don't think H/P DD shish-kabobbing an amped pre-boot Supes automatically means that Wolvie could do the same. /shrug

Considering the showings and the beings he's pierced, why not?

I mean, its really a function of two things:

1. Superman's durability
2. Wolverine's pierciningity.

We know that despite tanking black holes, Omega beams etc etc etc, Superman HAS been pierced before. And we know that despite other beings withstanding black holes, super strength punches etc etc, Wolverine HAS managed to get through them (Gladiator, Thanos).

Even me? What exactly do you mean by that? Have you seen any of my posts involving Nu52 Supes? I think he is much weaker than pre-boot. Anyway, why does Doomsday doing something mean that Wolverine can do it? The strength difference is astronomical. A tornado can put a piece of straw through a telephone pole, but there is no way that you or I could. That is the difference strength makes.

Could Wolvie's claws pierce pre-boot Supes? Sure, but only if someone much stronger than Wolverine swung them.

Fine.

Is Glads' piercing durability close enough to Superman?

Not touching that one, dooder.

Maybe someone can correct me, but I can't think off the top of my head of any instances of non-magical items piercing Superman other than Doomsday.

If that is correct, then no, Gladiator's piercing durability is not equal to Superman's
