No, what Carvster, Scandaddy Supreme, did, was smack me down and remind everyone that my comic (where Superman crosses over to the FF) was non canon.

The Indestructible Hulk comics are 100% canon.

Exactly.

yeah I know. i got confused, because you didn't quote DS, so I thought that you were saying that the Hulk's feat was non canon. No biggie.

IMO any herald can be cut by an adamantium weapon, but IIRC that one time Magneto almost tossed Wolverine into the sun, he seemed to think that his Adamantium wouldn't be able to take that. Any high herald worth their salt has withstood a star before, pretty speculative, but that's all I got.
Didn't Ultron once say something like the core of the hottest sun couldn't melt his body? Not that the core is the hottest part. Might be thinking of some other character.

It was Ultron. He was attacked by the human torch who thought he could melt Ultron but Ultron told him, 'the core of the hottest star could not melt my Adamantium body'

Adamantium vs Superman Pre Reboot

Adamantium vs Thor

Adamantium vs Destroyer

Adamantium vs Thanos

Characters and objects fluctuate in durability from comic to comi. Also durability is based on size and thickness. For example, Superman is definitely more durable than a 1mm sheet of admantium, but probably not an 1ft thick slab.
With that said, we should judge based off feats. On average, I would say adamantium>high herald skin (equal thickness).

What are true admantium's best durability feats?

Also durability in energy is different than physical blunt impact and different than shearing (cutting). A bulletproof vest can be cut or stabbed through with a knife. It can also be burned well. Now a diamond can resist being burned and cut very well but not so much physical impact.

Thanos is very durable against energy attacks, and high herald level in blunt impact and not so much in cutting (I still have to see those feats Nihilist suggested though).

Yes he did and his spikes are nowhere near as tough as Adamantium. Adamantium has taken hits from things that would maul superman.

I would say his spikes are very close to adamantium if not greater at times.
DD skin (which is weaker) has taken hits than would phuck Superman up.

Thanos isn't as durable when it comes to cutting blades though. Wolverine has dug his claws in him and an alien with an ax sliced him as well.

I haven't read the issue with the Faux predator but "Superman Pre Reboot" fought the Faux Predator?

No he didn't good catch btw. Pre-Boot did not fight him, but there have been times that Superman has been cut by less all the same if we are talking about pre boot Superman. Hasn't Mongul cut him. I mean drew blood from him? On average is what I'm saying, is that an adamantium weapon wielded by a character strong enough should be able to cut any Herald barring the Juggernaut at his best.

I don't see this as some kind of attack on anyone's favorite character, but just the way that it is. I also can't see Superman snapping or ripping a piece of adamantium off, as thick as the piece of bone that he snapped off of Doomsday's body.

You're forgetting Hawkeye.

I'm not sure many of the piercing assaults against Thanos makes much sense. I mean in a weakened state the Godslayer blade was unable to harm him. It kind of makes you walk away scratching your head. Wolverine puncturing him may fall into the same category.

Wolverine's claws have pierced Wolverine's skull

Adamantium has good piercing resistance but its durability tops out at Skyfather level. Plus it's metal as well so it can't actually give an indication of being hurt.

A lot of taking attacks that would destroy Adamantium have to do with damage soak, but when you outright take it with no physical damage? Probably be considered more durable

I don't remember what are the circumstance in which Mongul might have drawn blood for him, but IIRC the instance in which He face Mogul have extenuating circumstances for most of the time.

The first Time Superman faced Mogul on the post crisis, Superman have been with out yellow sun for a long period of time

The second time there was an asteroid of Kryptonite comming to earth that was already affecting Kal.

The other time, there was kryptonite involved.

Like I said, there are times where he has bled, but there are for most of the time extenuating circumstances that lower his invulnerability, so is not really "average" for him, if he is being affected by external forces.

And of course everyone is entitled to his opinion, But because I have read a lot of Superman comics and also a good deal of Marvel comics, I believe Superman going all out could be able to snap a chunk of AD, IT WONT BE EASY, but he could do it, at least He could be able to bend it. IMO

Ah OK gotcha. But then again Superman did break out of restraints fashioned from DC's version of adamantium.

Prometheum or Inertron?

Intertron's generally Legion stuff, and it can be broken, but not in large enough quantities, such as a wall of it. (Mon El failed to damage a wall of it, and it was used to cage pre crisis Validus..)
