How strong is adamantium?

I see people using feats of characters damaging adamantium. But can we even quantify (or approximate) the strength of adamantium?

Let's compare it to the strongest steel alloy in the real world.

Cannot be calculated.

Especially not with h1 math.

But h1 math is stronger than calculus

Adamantium is stronger than gas so it can survive even the pressure of black holes.

Probably the most accurate answer you'll get here...

I think also it might be able to kill The Stranger. It has a long way to go.

Logan's adamantium laced skull routinely takes blows from characters who can crack open moons, without so much as a dent.


Considering everything he's survived without damaging his skeleton, it's safe to say true adamantium is 100% unbreakable by physical force.



Which makes claims of Cap's shield being even stronger kind of a head scratcher, as you can't really top 100% damage reduction. You can MATCH it, but to say you're more durable is akin to claiming "Infinity +1", it's a nonsense claim.

Because of the vibranium element, which also negates some of the force - I guess?

Hit pure adamantium and Cap's shield with 100 of energy.

Adamantium would take that 100.

The shield would also take it, but it wouldn't transfer 100% to the wielder behind it

Strong enough to make Wolverine relevant after all these years

Wolverine was still one of the major players in the MU even without adamantium.

He never chipped bone claws, though.



Maybe never on steel, but should have been breaking bones left and right, that arc made no sense.

They broke and chipped a lot.

You have to remember though he had an insane HF at this time and just regrew everything.

Bone Claws fluctuated A LOT when it comes to their durability.

They have plenty of amazing feats --- and plenty of low showings.

But one thing for certain, they were way denser than human bone.

Can't agree on them being a molecule thick (even though I see what you're saying and I agree how it doesn't matter how thick the adamantium-coating is, it's still indestructible), but yeah, they can absolutely cut through steel, titanium, titanium equivalents and even omnium or Terminus' armor.

Considering how Wolverine cuts through omnium steel as if it was made out of paper, you can only imagine how weak the RL alloys would be to it.

Plus we can attribute his HF to heal any nicks and chips I guess.

Yes, of course.

I'm guessing the claws could reach their full durability/sharpness only when Wolverine was fully rested and not taxed af, fighting in 5-6 books a week.

Them breaking against Uroc (who is 100% uru) or Galactus' equipment is perfectly fine. Carnage is not too bad, either - since he's supposed to be superior to Venom, who's had some ridiculous strength feats.

In Neal Adams' First X-Men they got broken and regenerated off-panel all the damn time.

Are they not a molecule thick (the edge I mean)? Or am I thinking of something else?

The edge probably is. Has to be, since the adamantium-bonding process is said to enhance their sharpness and Wolverine says they've been honed enough to slice through anything. I thought you meant their coating in general.

But we have no on-panel proof, do we?

We know that they are less than 1mm thick, they pop at 130 miles per hour, they are at least one foot long...
