Uru iirc is enhanced by the enchantment

Sometimes it's portrayed as some good shit and said to be unbreakable but the easiest explanation is it needs magic to become shit.

Or Thor is just that strong...

Prime Adamantium and the Shards of the Creation Blade being the toughest. Which you would want to make blades from.

Uru and Nth Metal have flexible properties that can grant you super human abilities.

Vibrainium and Promethium make for great shields and armor.

True I guess.. The rock he carved a hammer from contained uru metal. Still a crazy feat though.

Metallo, omnium... weak compared to the ones already listed, but still vastly superior to the real world ones.

Cap's shield is made of Adamantium, Vibranium, and Uru. That doesn't count.

Wasn't Cap's shield originally a vibranium/steel alloy? I thought adamantium was discovered when scientists tried to reverse-engineer Cap's shield.

After Fear Itself. Odin had it reforged since Cul broke it. It's supposedly even stronger than ever before.

Indeed, the material making up Cap's shield is validly in a class by itself ...

From Wikipedia:


During one of his experiments to fuse vibranium with an experimental iron alloy, MacLain falls asleep and awakens to find the experiment a success. This is due to an unknown catalyst entering the process during his slumber, and he is unable to duplicate the result. The vibranium-iron alloy mix is then poured into a mold for a tank's upper hatch to create the disc shape and painted to become Captain America's symbol. MacLain would later attempt to recreate the shield's metal to no avail, his experiments instead eventually yielding the super-metal adamantium.

Rogers' indestructible shield was long referred to, even in continuity, as being composed of an adamantium, vibranium, and uranium alloy. In actuality, the experimental iron alloy is now referred to as "proto-adamantium", which is slightly stronger than true adamantium. Dr. MacLain's experiments with proto-adamantium lead to the creation of true adamantium. This proto-adamantium (the only known source) was incorporated with the vibranium in the shield. The vibranium in the shield grants it unusual properties, allowing it to absorb virtually all of the kinetic impact from any blows that the shield receives without injuring Rogers in the process ...

Yup. A more recent version:

Jason Aaron did say he read Stan Lee's run which helped set the scale for his Thor.
