Same with the adamantium wall Blastaar smashed.
Cyclops has been said to be able to do a lot of shit, it doesn't mean he can. That statement means nothing... unless you want them to retcon the statement by saying that they actually meant Cyclops can only pulverize secondary adamantium... which is stupid. Almost as dumb as Cyclops as a serious character.
You and Dumb are pretty humorous with your examples of alleged citations of Secondary Adamantium, from the 70s, 80s, and early 90s. Kurt Buiesk invented Secondary Adamantium in 1999. The only example you've cited where the term Secondary Adamantium was used was in Ultron Unlimited... because that was the arc Buiesk created Secondary Adamantium in. Why? To retcon all the examples of Adamantium being destroyed, and making Adamantium indestucatble again. Every example of Adamantium being destroyed or damaged prior to Ultron Unlimted was retcon'd by that story arch, and every example since fallows suit and is Secondary Adamantium.
The statue Thor through Hulk into was never stated to be secondary adamantium (obviously since it was an issue before 99), it was referenced as pure adamantium. The Ultron who's head Wonderman crushed was just stated to be adamantium (again... an issue before the creation of Secondary Adamantium), not secondary (and Busiek retcon'd WM crushing Ultron's head IIRC). Prior to Buiesk's Avengers run those were all examples of Adamantium being destroyed and post Ultron Unlimted they were retcon'd to Secondary.

And primary adamantium... is still adamantium. If it's secondary adamantium, it's stated to be. That's how it's always been. When it's not stated to be secondary, it's primary adamantium. You do because somehow you think Wolverine's formidability would be vicariously impugned. The comics world doesn't revolve around Wolverine. Stop making up myths.
Secondary Adamantium = Adamantium
Primary Adamantium = True Adamantium or Primary Adamantium
If the narration simply says Adamantium, it's referring to Secondary Adamantium. Fact, stop making up myths. Primary Adamantium has never been destroyed or damaged, all examples of Adamantium being destroyed are Secondary. 😎

That wasn't retconned. Ever. And Hulk dented him slightly. At least get the established facts straight before trying to spin your myths. That was an alloy of adamantium. I've already posted that scan several times. And it wasn't due to a retcon, it's stated directly in the comic itself. And why wouldn't a magic forcefield with the power of Zeus slice adamantium? Odin's brother completely shattered Cap's shield like a tortilla chip. You think Skyfathers don't have that level of power? As for statements made about Cyclops, nobody cares about irrelevant statements that are unproven.
It was retcon'd, every single instance of Adamantium being damaged prior to 1999 was retcon'd.
Anyway, I'm going to ignore the fact that you are citing supposed examples of Secondary Adamantium prior to the existence of Secondary Adamantium in continuity and indulge you anyway. Adamantium is an steel alloy... even Primary Adamantium is an steel alloy. That's what it is. The word alloy isn't a synonym for Secondary Adamantium. It's Secondary Adamantium because it was broken, not because it was an alloy.
A Skyfather can matter manip and weaken the subatomic structure of Adamantium or Cap's shield, the magic force field was just laser razor wire.
