Sabretooth vs. Sebastian Shaw.

One does not expend kinetic energy to put a butcher knife on one's throat.

When you apply the force, Shaw absorbs the force/kinetic energy, but also takes the damage, if it is a sharp object.

Imbecile.

Can Shaw absorb the kinetic energy of an imbecile?

I know but I'm talking about the difference that is applied. Punch versus Explosion.

You think an explosion that didn't even take out a whole house IIRC has more force behind it than a punch from classic Rogue that absorbed Shulk's powers?

Just so you know that was me replying to you being baffled by Smurph's comment about a knife not cutting on contact.

Really? Interesting. So if I gently place the blade of a knife on my cheek, it will cut it? That blade is in contact with my cheek, but it did not cut it.

Try again. 💃 💃 💃

🤣 🤣

The force applied is negated because Shaw absorbs the kinetic energy. There would not be enough force to cut him because every time any amount is applied it is absorbed.

Unless of course Shaw gets overloaded or his energy absorption ability is overpowered.

But Sabes can't overpower it.

Adamantium doesnt=a regular knife.

True, but it depends at what power level Shaw starts out. If he punches the wall for prep, then Sabes won't be a problem. But starting from afresh, Shaw would not be that strong at all.

It's durability wont make a difference in Shaw's ability to absorb the kinetic energy applied to it that is needed to cut him.

In this case it might as well.

You know that doesnt make sense right?

Shaw doesnt start off indestructible so it should be a cake walk for Sabes to cut him and pretty easily.

Yeah Sabes can't hurt him. He requires Kinetic Energy to cut him an Shaw just absorbs it. Simple as that. And yes it would take some KE in order to cut someone.

Is it being harder somehow making its kinetic energy immune to Shaw's powers? 😬

It doesnt make sense because show durability wont be as high as you are making it. Yes, he'll absorb the impact but he'll get a vital cut before the energy is absorbed. By the way, what levels are you putting shaws durability at from one claw swipe?

Its a knife, of course he's going to absorb the kinetic energy from sabertooth swinging said item but he will get gutted by the adamantium claws unless he starts off indestructible.
