It was never retconned on panel. He's bent adamantium and its alloys before with his bare hands. 😄
Also, Masterbruce evidently doesn't like anyone without a black cape and bat ears.
Since adamantium was not developed until after Captain America was revived from suspended animation, this would be impossible. In fact, the shield's material has radically different properties from either, resulting in far greater resilience.
The source of this confusion/error is an entry made in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe (and repeated many times since), which stated that the shield was an adamantium-vibranium alloy. However, as revealed via retcon in Kurt Busiek's 2001 Avengers Annual , adamantium was created in an attempt to duplicate the material of the shield.
I don't wheter to take that a face value seeing it's from wikipedia.
Adamantium is used as the key component in several characters' equipment, including:
Wolverine's skeleton
Battlestar's shield
Bullseye's spinal column and strips
Cyber's claws and skin
Moon Knight's crecent blades
one of Mister Fantastic's labs for extremely dangerous experiments
A UNIQUE POWER ARMOR FOR IRONMAN
Agent Zero's combat knife
a unique set of Doctor Octopus' arms.
Gambit's telescopic staff.
Lady Deathstrike's talons and skeleton.
Sabretooth's skeleton
a unique suit for Stilt-Man
the robotic body of TESS-One
some of Ultron's robotic bodies
some of Alkhema's robotic bodies
X-23's claws
Hammerhead's skull plate.
Again i wouldn't like to stake my claim on wikipedia but it seem's he may already have one i'll need to do my homework on Ironman's suits to back it up.

Exactamente.
As far as I know not all adamantuim has the same durability. This is from Marvel.com
An artificially-created alloy of iron that is the most impervious substance known on Earth, with the exception of the unknown Adamantium-Vibranium alloy of which Captain America's shield is composed.
This implies that Cap's shield is more durable than regular adamantuim.
Yeah exacatly..anyway i think we could all agree it don't matter diddely squat what Ironman build's his suit out of there's always going to be some 'badass' mofo that rips him out of it or damages it beyond repair. Cause to be honest if that wasn't the case he'd be sporting some weirdass extremis hulkbuster thing and be like a transformer or anime mecha. It's just in his character nature and enemies story progression to bust his ass no matter how powerful his suit is otherwise he'd be boring.

Yeah lol.

By the way, Hulk has shattered Adamantium on more than one occasion 😉
Secondary adamantium 😉

Wait, since when is Ironmans armor stronger than adamantium?
It's not.

I'd just like to take this opportunity to point out that despite what the fanboys say, there's no proof that Thor lost his arm to Wolverine. Check it out, this is the page in question...Yes Wolverine DID slash at Thor's arm, but if you look in the bottom corner you'll see that his arm is still intact. Here's a close up...
See, it's still there. Also notice that when Wolverine slashed at him, it was just above the wrist.Now later on when he's missing an arm, it's missing from above the elbow. Here's a pic...
The entire battle took place off panel, and there's no proof how he lost the arm, but there's no way it was from the intitial shot.
Well no, to be fair look at the climatic issues of The Ruling storyline, in the future with his son Magni. Thor is still missing that forearm. But I don't know why he couldn't use the odinforce to regenerate a new one - Odin would have been capable of that. Jurgens wanted the drama of a one-armed Thor fighting Desak in the end, I suppose.
Getting back to the question: I don't know why Tony hasn't used Adamantium. Maybe because it's too rigid, and the legacy of IM armour is magnetized chain mail - that's how he carried it in a briefcase for decades. So maybe he wants the flexibility, and would rather rely on his firepower and shield generator.

If it's not stronger than adamantium, they why have some of his past armors resisted Wolverine's claws? 😐
Insufficient force, bad angle of attack, magnetic shielding, force fields, the fact that it's really hard regardless of the fact that it isn't adamantium, etc....

And it would be harder for him to work on/upgrade after coating it in adamantium
s-ranger, your question/assertion on page 2 about cap's shield v. tony's armor doesn't take into account that, for that example to be logical, both would need identical masses. for example, take a piece of paper, and rip it. then take an identical piece of paper, ball it up, and try to rip that. it is sufficiently harder. the compressed density of cap's shield WOULD provide it much greater durability than tony's armor, if they were of comparable substance and mass. but they aren't. decent idea, though.
Aint the fact that because cap's shield is significantly smaller the various material's atoms etc. would be more compact making the sheild stronger as it is of smaller proportations than Ironman's armour so it would take surgeical precision strikes to dent Cap's sheild kind of like how when paper is manipulated into different shapes it can hold up a cup full of water because your making it more compact put when spread out normally it can't.
