Lightsaber versus Adamantium....

This has been discussed for quite a while here in the MVF, so I figured I'd start a poll on it. Make your choice, and back it up with your reasons.

Lightsaber for no reason.

Lightsaber.

Imo it will either slice through it in the first strike ore the adamantium will simple give in after constantly bashed on by the lightsaber.

Man, DDM is gonna explode when he sees this thread haermm

I agree with this. The constant heat from the lightsaber will wear the adamantium down in time.

Despite [true] adamatium having the properties of being "virtually indestructible", silly.

In that shitty-shit movie Origins:Wolverine, Wolverine's claws were heated up to the point where they glowed bright red, this did nothing.

I know, but there's no way to know if 11's eye blasts are as hot as a lightsaber. Really this whole thread is going to be opinion based, no way to prove either side. I just thought it would be fun to discuss."Virtually" means more or less, not literally.

No, we don't.

What we do know:

-Adamantium is never harmed on film, with the exception of more adamantium (which was shit writing in a shit movie).

-Lightsabres are capable of being stopped by durable enough metals.

Virtually means: 'Nearly' and 'for all intents and purposes'.

So that all above fares in the favor of [true] adamatium withstanding a lightsabre. In a guessing situation.

I agree on that, but we are talking two different universes, different elements and different metals. For all we know, Adamantium, in the SW universe, is no stronger than an average metal. Then again, it might be uber compared to phrik metal.

That is silly, as we can also say Mandaloran armor is no strogner than lead. Which is also ridiculous.

Virtually indestructible means just that, here, there and in a land called Honalee.

Add it all up, it doesn't favor on the side of the lightsabre.

Reading up on Beskar (Mandalorian iron), it's extremely similar to adamantium in properties.

Phrik is a fictional alloy and so is Adamantium. For all we can hypothesise they could be the same thing but with different names.

The only thing you can go by onscreen or within the respective storyline's is how it's described and what it reacts to. Adamantium is classed as virtually indestructible. So is Phrik. Phrik is impervious to lightsabre blows...So by description only, So would Adamantium.

I also just don't think the lightsabre is the ultimate cutting weapon that a lot of people make it out to be.

i really have no idea as i like both

Sorry but the scene where this happens have slipped my mind.

I'm aware of the Phrik but I was under the impression from the source book that it was as much the energy field as the metal itself that kept the staff from being sliced in half.

The only thing that resisted a saber in the movies was another saber, and the Magna-Guards Phrik staffs. However, in the EU, there are only a few metals that can withstand a saber, even fewer outright block it.

And while Beskar can take a beating from a saber, the saber would eventually get through.

I doubt that a lightsaber could instantly cut through, but if you using a lightsaber apply continuous pressure to adamantium, wouldn't you eventually cut through? So far, I don't remember any time in which anything literally destroys a lightsaber BLADE, so wouldn't it slowly melt the metal?

A lightsaber can cut through starship hulls. Eventually it would get through if you kept hitting the same spot, or if you kept it on one spot long enough.

And the only thing to short out a lightsaber blade is a blade heavily laced with Cortosis, which will short the saber out for a few seconds.

The scene were Luke tries to cut the giant robotic frog; he fails.

Prick, Beskar, Cortosis; there's another I think.

Prhik, Beskar, Cortosis, Darkswords, Sith Alchemic weapons, and a Force imbued weapon.

Plus almost everything Yuuzhan Vong related, although they couldn't last forever.

Most of them will eventually give out though. Most of the metals have some reasoning behind them why they resist, but I'm not sure Adamantium could handle it for a super long amount of time.

Where's the "Let's respect both universe's claims of 'indestructable' and call it even." choice in the poll. Mark me in for that.

I don't go for that because in the SW universe, while there are a bunch of metals that can resist or block lightsabers, they all eventually give way.
