Adamantium Vs. Super Strength

Started by tideoftime3 pages

7-inch thick adamantium? If it were a "wall", or similar, most of the characters listed would at least eventually be able to dent it, or if it were in a "cell-bar" form, bend it enough to get free.

However, if they are encased directly, as in physically around their bodies (as implied by the "like statues" part), then I don't think any of them can break free, as 7-inch thick encasement of such a material would be beyond the scope of any of their strengths -- they'd need at least general freedom of body to truly effect their greatest expressions of strength needed to damage/harm such a barrier.

*****
Side-topic: Generally, He-Man is definitely on the lower end (*relatively*) of the list above; his generally quantifiable greatest feat of strength was lifting Castle GraySkull, and that was with great strain; he was only able to throw it/propel it across the sky/horizon by The Sorceress channeling all of the castle's power through him, effectively equating -- for him -- the equivalent of a "sun-dip" SM boost or an uber-enraged Hulk, or WW wearing the Gauntlets of Atlas, et al, meaning that his "normal" strength range is much less than that of SM's, WW's, etc. Not saying He-Man ain't the... well, "man"... in his world, but in the broader scale of things, he really isn't up with the real big boys/girls... Magic goes a long way in terms of boosting his greater feats.

I think that was a low feat for He-man. He-man had went toe to toe with PC Superman and is understood to be as strong as he needs to be. IDK.

how many of these guys can exist without air? because they will run out of oxygen exerting themselves pretty fast

Writer/"magic makes the difference"- slant; He-Man stood up to PC Superman for much the same reason Captain Marvel did (CM often matching SM, but never having comparable feats of strength/power): being magical, it gave enough of an edge to balance things. Pre-Crisis, Supes very often had problems affecting anything magical, in a context similar to but different than today. Example: when he and WW were once captured in a water bubble that was manipulated by magic, neither of them could break free, and he later stated it took 15 minutes for his heat vision to finally free them, when it should have only taken seconds. Similar kinds of things happen nowadays, too, but in term of Pre-Crisis feats, He-Man had "da' magic" on his side. I had most of the Masters of the Universe Comics (granted, not something I like admitting to), and saw all the episodes -- lifting the castle and throwing it was his generally greatest feat of strength, and it was an amped one, at that, via the Sorceress.

i know its not really an applicable argument, but he was probably struggling for the sake of some damn drama 😛

They only substance stronger is whatever Captain America's shield is made of.

The Hulk at his maximum strength ever, was able to make the tiniest dent in it.

If I'm not mistaken, the issue with Cap's Shield and Primary Adamantium is that they contain vibranium so not only are the metal molecules stabilized and packed dense and close, but nearly all shock is absorbed. Brute strength without the assistance of antarctic vibranium just can't do it unless the character is small enough to punch individual molecules..

Top grade adamantium 7" thick? No one's getting out of there with pure muscle.

Didn't the Hulk dig his fingers into an adamantium statue of himself?

It is arguable that if HeMan was bring crushed by a wall of Adamantium he would become strong enough to destroy it.

He had the power of the universe. Fighting Superman is different he moves and fights back.

I think that turned out to be a weak form of it.

No one is busting out or even close to it.

I hope not. If Marvel starts letting people fold adamantium like card board, it would lose it's mystique.

its harder to destroy the moon then other planets because the gravity on the moon is very weak and low and that means you need much more power and pressure to hit the moon then other planets

you realise PC superman snezed a galaxy right? the guy had no limits like your stupidity

Don't know where Big C is getting He Man is stronger, since he lost the fight.

Cool.

I should have learned by now not to take his claims at face value. No offense C.
