He had two opportunities. One misunderstanding is common. Two is a tad annoying, though I'm not too concerned either way. But this mistake in general - posters responding to a comment without realizing the specific comment it was originally intended to refute or respond to - is probably responsible for about 25% of skirmishes on KMC. Unfortunate, if occasionally amusing.

Any way:
Adamantium, more durable.Nth metal, more versatile.

Adamantium is tougher. I believe that was the question. I agree that I would rather fight any Nth metal weilder rather that someone who has access to adamantium who can hurt Herald level characters. Wolverine has cut Namor, Gladiator and Thanos. I'd take that over run of the mill meta human stats.
using the claw of horus Hawkman has hit Superman and sent him flying into orbit. The Claw is a lot less Nth metal in total than Logan has admantium in his whole body.
The so called run of the mill meta your referring to is what you get with a few grams of nth metal (or the amount of admantium that Logan would have in a fi ger or two- the amount of nth in say logans hand makes someone his leavel HF with double strength and flight plus other enhancements. His level of admantium in nth would make you Thanos or Glad's Ievel at the least (probably greater in strength, durability and regen considering a few vrams makes you a 5 tonner)
If you had equal amounts of both metals Nth would stomp admantium. With less than half the total amount of mass of Nth metal than that in Logans skeleton we had Hawkman, Hawkgirl and Silver Scarab all super powered ( in the case of scarab city level) plusthe claw ( which makes its wielder low herald level, and a few other weapons like macds and shields that when wielded by anyone give u 20 ton blows.

Unless you're referring to a different instance I'm unaware of(which is entirely possible), it didn't send him flying into orbit. It dropped him, but it was later revealed he was "playing possum." Plus, he was weakened, but that's beside the point.

This is like a metallic version of a Hulk/Superman debate.
Hulk (adamantium) is stronger, Superman (Nth) has more powers.
Superman(Pre-FLASHPOINT) has more powers, AND is stronger. huhu

I know that when asked the question of which metal is tougher, it doesnt refer to which is more versatile. That's simple logic. The only one assuming is you. Read the words, they could not be more clear. If he had asked which metal was more versatile, would you be arguing which was tougher? It's clear you got caught up in the secondary debate over which metal is better and now you don't want to concede.
*facepalm* again why are you replying? I said wait till the creator of this thread gives us clarification and leave it at that multiple times now. YOU keep going with the secondary debate. It's like you desperately need the last word or something over something that can be quickly clarified. Wait and see yet again.
The word "toughest" can be applied in a variety ways. This is basic English. I said wait and see to get clarification and seeing how majority of the thread is going with nth metal as using that same basis? No, it's not just me. Nice attempt though
right right I definitely don't want to concede eh? How many times did I say adamantium wins if this is durability?
Again don't reply to me. Wait and see what the author wants. That's it. You're trying to make a mountain of a mole hill.
Lol, technically speaking, Nth metal may indeed be tougher than adamantium.
Adamantium might be harder, though.
If blue Area Vet wants to adhere strictly to the wording of the OP, and only use the word toughness in the context of a material's properties, then he might get into a quandary with tthe scientific usage of the word toughness.
Diamond, for example, is hard, not tough.

Exactly. 👆
Creator of this thread can clarify for us.

Getting a bit personal, arent you?
Still, not the worst i've gotten from a Superman fanboy. At least you havent told me to go kill myself. You guys trend towards the overly dramatic.

When I made that comment that you replied to, it was in reply to someone who said that he'd rather face someone with Nth metal than Adamantium Ultron. I made the point that his example wasn't valid, as adamantium alone doesn't grant Ultron's capabilities. A more fair comparison, though still invalid per the OP, would be Ultron with Nth metal v. Ultron with adamantium. But it's still invalid because this thread pits them against one another in a vacuum.My comment was ONLY in response to the bad Ultron example. Please treat it as such, and consider that context in any subsequent reply.
I understood all of that, I read every post in the thread.

Excuse me sir, but if you are talking to me, I am the only in the post since very early on in the post that remembers what the OP actually asked. The conversation was taked in a different direction by YOU and others, and that's fine. But don't assume that I am not perfectly aware of that. There is no misunderstanding on my part and I'm sorry if you thought there was.

I'm not waiting for anything, the OP asked a clear question the first time. But go ahead and pray that he returns if you wish.

Right, but Adamantium is BOTH hard and tough.
Toughness- In materials science and metallurgy, toughness is the ability of a material to absorb energy and plastically deform without fracturing.[1] One definition of material toughness is the amount of energy per volume that a material can absorb before rupturing. It is also defined as the resistance to fracture of a material when stressed.
Toughness requires a balance of strength and ductility.[1]
Being that primary Adamantium has never been broken or deformed, there is no question which metal is tougher.
