iirc, superman's muscles can't actually be flexed, they are as they are...
Originally posted by RaoulReally? I guess that explains how Superman Prime went from being a skinny twerp to being a big musclehead. mmm
iirc, back in the mid 90s he lost his powers (superman blue and red, etc), he had to work out to stay in shape as clark, and it seemed like a brand new experience to him...
Anyway, going at said speed and being made of adamantium, I think they might kill him.
Originally posted by Placidityyeah, i think the topic creator was asking if Supes could control his bodies density.
lol. Do you guys even know what "flex" mean? I think topic starter meant to say "tense".
Yes he can. Im pretty sure the material the bullet is made of is irrelevant. except for of course kryptonite.

Agree. The very "adamantium bullet" thing is the biggest PIS in comics, the killing properties of firearms depend not on bullets (they by itself don't hurt anyone, being just a piece of metal- not sharp, mind you, it's impossible to cut anything with bullet, and adamantium doesn't magically cut anything if it's forged into non-cutting thing), but on gun itself. Shooting adamantium bullets from regular gun (like it's done in comics) does nothing except from bullets not deforming- in reality.
Superman has gone up against Admantium cutting beams before in the DC Universe, it had no effect on him.

Non canon.
I would say sharpened adamantium is capable of harming him, but it depends on the strength of the person using it. Wolverine hitting him with his claws would probably just annoy him. Someone like Thor or Wonder Woman hits him with an adamantium lance, now we're talking some damage.

I'll have to disagree, I can see Admantium cutting Superman if it were magical. Or if Superman had been in battle for a long time with a foe equal to his own power (Doomsday fight) and he begins to "wear out" then yes. Not if his powered up.

Hard to say. Superman's durability - in the sense of penetrating his skin - is comparable to the Silver Surfer's. And I don't think adamantium can penetrate the Surfer's skin under any circumstance. But I'm willing to go along with your argument that he might have to be at lower ebb, to get around his bio-field.
Admantium is the hardest or second material in Marvel universe. That also makes no difference when it comes to cutting power and especially against Superman. It just means it will not break under heavy stress well in the real world that is. So where as a normal sword would just break the adamantium would not. Give Hulk an adamantium sword and he still won't be cutting Superman.
