Darth Vader vs. Iron Man

Started by Silent Master6 pages

What proof do you have that a lightsaber can cut through adamantium, vibranium or Mjolnir?

I don't. But you don't have any proof that they're lightsaber-resistant either.

You're the one that made the claim, that means the burden is on you.

Mjolnir I can see being Lightsaber resistant, given it's mythical status. Vibranium and Adamatium on the other hand.... Movie versions of these metals don't have the feats of their comic counterparts.

That all said, no, Lightsaber do not cut through absolutely anything like an absolute rule. To reference your EU example, things like Sith Alchemy Swords are entirely resistant to lightsaber strikes, Mandalorian Iron is known to resist it, as is Phrik Metal, and cortosis weave. many other things.

Cap's shield which is vibranium withstood a charged strike from Mjolnir.

Mjolnir could resist a lightsaber (well force augmented sticks, swords, bare hands could stop it, so I see no reason something that works not too dis-similarly to such a technique would be unable)

Vibranium and Adamatium on the other hand.... Movie versions of these metals don't have the feats of their comic counterparts.

IIRC it took Magneto considerable effort to bend Wolverine's claws in the first movie, same Magneto who was able to lift a stadium and move it, same with the Golden Gate Bridge, make of that what you will

Yeah, and so could pretty much any form of adamantium, or vibranium. Given that they have vastly more impressive feats, especially compared to the Star wars movies.

And... No, Magneto did that effortlessly. Wolverine is literally the worst person to fight Magneto, that's all there is to it. He is super strong, capable of regen, and many other things, which make him a really tough character, but... He's literally MADE of Magneto's strongest weapon.

You're telling me, if Vader went all crazy apeshit on Iron Man's armor like he did when he was Anakin and fighting Ventress, it wouldn't do anything?

I agree with you and say I'd call bullshit on that supposition.

Ironman's sole means of actual defense against a direct lightsaber attack is not going to be the armor of his suit, but things like energy shields, repulsor fields and the like. His suits are not going to be shrugging off direct lightsaber strikes.

Vader can crush Tony under his armor. He force choked something star systems away without a gesture. Vader and block any beams, force away any missiles as well.

In clone wars, Palpatine force choked a pair of mercs from under their armor, so it looks like force choke does work thru armor.

How powerful was the armor, Nib?

Looks like Mandalorian mercs. So pretty damned powerful. If you go by EU anyway.

But in SW verse, prolly one of the strongest armor you can get.

We don't agree on many things, but this I agree with. 👆

On a sidenote, did you know you can watch the entire 2003 CW series all at once on youtube?

Anyway.
