Although nth metal is much more versatile. I would be more terrified to face an individual who can practically cut through anything without much effort. It all depends on the individual wielding the adamantium. Like nth metal has all of the perks built in, but if you were to give someone with great stats across the board complimented with an insane healing factor and ferocity i.e. Wolverine I would be more intimidated to face someone like that in close quarter combat.

That's cherry-picking, though. We're dead either way. But with a Wolverine knock-off, let's say the only thing he has is adamantium. So if I can outrun him, I'm good. Or if he doesn't have a HF to go with it, I might get in some lucky blows and knock him out. There's at least a chance. With Nth metal, there's none. Not in any scenario, unless I have powers of my own.

I agree overall nth metal is better. I was just saying that adamantium could be better depending on the individual wielding it, which is cherry picking since everyone doesnt have the luxury of having Wolverine's retarded healing factor.

Pretty much. That's another exception. I didn't use that as an example because its a bit to the extreme. A full outer body consisting of indestructible adamantium attached to an ai with unparalleled intelligence and processing speed along with super human stats is unfair.

I'm pretty sure when Bullseye's skeleton was fused with adamantium that somehow it gave him a healing factor. IIRC that's the only time that adamantium has done that, and I don't know how Bullseye lost it. Maybe it was retcon b/c it was so silly.

Well, in normal quantities, not entirely. The stuff beatboks was talking about only becomes a thing with larger quantities of Nth metal. With average amounts, you're probably looking at being in high meta range (give or take). Still well beyond having some adamantium, but not quite team-wrecker status.
basically yeah, it was portrayed in some retellings of hawhman's origin that the amount of Nth he and Hg found on thecrashed Thanagarian ship ( the entirety on earth) was onlythesize of a backpack.
The entirety on Nth metal in pre 52 Hawkman was laced through his belt. With just a few grams of the stuff he can fly, have 5 ton strength, logan level healing, and enhaced senses.
A shield laced with Nth protects from almost all energy blasts
A mace so laced gives him a strike equal to 20 ton
the claw of horus ( a few kilos) allows him to knock Superman for miles.
Is it little wonder that when Omynarr had tons he was a team buster and beyond herald level?
if you had enough Nth to createLogans skeleton you'd be well over class 100
Originally posted by Blue Area VetI was exagerating a bit, nevetheless Adamentium is comparatively easy to get compared to N th Metal. On top of my head Apocalyse, Ultron, the U.S military, Shield, FF, Black Panther and Wandaka all have access to it. In the DCU only Hawkman has it and maybe in Thanagar his home planet you can find access to it in small amount that's it.

But it's not Nth metal v. Ultron, if we're creating a fair fight. It's someone with Nth metal or a dude with some sharp knives.
It's like saying someone has an Uru weapon and assuming you're fighting the Destroyer inhabited by Loki. Your comparison is just so lopsided as to be meaningless.
