Look at Hawkman, just a regular guy, then you fuse Nth metal to him, and he becomes a flying unkillable superhuman, with a HF that is on par with Wolverine's.

Exhibit A: Onimarr Synn. Maybe a newb with no knowledge of either would rather have adamantium, but with any kind of idea of how to control Nth metal, someone could become a herald being (or higher) and could use Nth's metal's electromagnetic capabilities to wreck anyone using adamantium (to say nothing of its other capabilities).

yeah, synn is a great example. not as sure what all the properties of nu nth metal is, but it is by far and away the more useful metal. it's not as hard as adamantium (it is uber durable though) but in every other way it is far superior.
Pretty much this. Though to be that "above Herald level" you need quite a bit.
The Uber feats of Omynarr Synn required pretty much ALL the nth metal on Thanagar.
Nth Metal gives
* healing factor - pre 52 the metal allowed HM to heal from many injuries in short order in Trinity it healed a near severed arm, in another instance when his throat was cut when not wearing his wings he healed in a panel once they were placed on him. Allowed HM to take a several page beating from BA and keep coming back, take arrows and knives in the chest.
* enhanced strength to wearer gives HM about a 5 ton strength level
* protects against energy attacks, abosrbs and releases energy many examples but energy blasts against even a shield with low levels of Nth have zero affect. Silver Scarab's (Hector hall first hero ID) used a suit of Nth metal to make himself a solar powered hero
* enhances the strength of blows using a mace with a little nth metal in it HM can crush a car speeding at him. With a slid piece of PURE Nth metal can "hit with the weight of a planet"
* enhances sight and senses night vision super distance vision and other senses enhanced. HG was even shown to have these when not wearing her Nth due to extended exposure.
* anti gravity field that is mentally controlled doesn't really need edifying IMO
* protects from extreme temperatures is what allows the hawks to travel in space with no protection other than breathing apparatus.
* protects against magic
* control of all the four fundamental forces this one requires the knowledge and a lot of metal and is how Omynarr was able to strip Jay of the speed force, throw BA into space by raising a palm, tear Sandman's atomic bonds apart etc etc.
I'd take Nth over Admantium ANY day of the weak.
Now if I could get a suit of armor made of an allow of Nth, Admantium, Promethium, and anti metal. That would be freaking cool. Promethium makes everything amplify ( increases energy capability, durability basically increases with the strength of the force that strikes it, etc etc) I think you see where this is going.
Well, in normal quantities, not entirely. The stuff beatboks was talking about only becomes a thing with larger quantities of Nth metal. With average amounts, you're probably looking at being in high meta range (give or take). Still well beyond having some adamantium, but not quite team-wrecker status.
Not when you consider how rare it is in the DCU and especially on Earth. Unlike Admantium where practically every minor league villian has some in his basement, just for emergencies.
Hmm, yes, you make some good points, except for the part where you typed words.
Onimarr Synn tanked the JSA when their lineup was ungodly haxx. Even a moderate amount gets you Wolverine-esque healing plus other awesome stuff. I'll take my chances with the Nth metal.
