Broken link but that happened to me too. So, I can't fault you for it.
as for the vibranium, you'll never find a book that says it was wakandan vibranium,
Yet, Siltman was claiming I was going by head canon?
but it couldn't be antarctic as that would just melt the mixture it was added to.
That makes some sense.
Unless the process drastically changed both the vibranium, and the adamantium.
there's also more than one bio that supports that it was wakandan vibranium:http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Vibranium
as for how it absorbs impacts? it's comics. there is no other way around it. /shrug
You're using a wiki instead of the direct source? That has a bunch of links but none of them elaborate much, and don't show me any scans.

Okay, that's some evidence right but concerns me is what you say next as that makes this a moot point if it's no longer made out of vibranium.
and the shield isn't an adamantium/vibranium combo, it's what is now called proto-adamantium:http://i.stack.imgur.com/85f4K.jpg
adamantium was a failed attempt at remaking the metal of the shield. [/B]
Which means it isn't even supposed to absorb anything anymore. If it's only made out of adamantium. A stronger version than normal at that. Which would explain why Danny was able to fling it into Logan's skull.
A stronger metal should be able to destroy a lower quality version of it if you apply enough force.

It can't because according to leonidas it's not even made out of vibranium anymore. That's besides the fact we don't know how hard the Hulk hit Captain America here.
Or maybe you think he's just strong enough to block hits from the Hulk...?
No, what I think is that we don't know how hard the Hulk hit him here and considering that it's confirmed that it doesn't even consist of vibranium anymore. There's no reason it should.
In 616 canon, it took either the Phoenix Force or Magneto's powers to mess up Logan's skeleton.
The former sounds ridiculous and I don't buy for a moment that the bare minimum necessary is something that can destroy stars. The latter is a better example. As when Magneto liquefied it.
Ebony Blade didn't scratch his claws. Black Blade (just as indestructible as adamantium) failed to decapitate Logan, even though it was wielded by Silver Samurai who enhanced it with his tachyon field... [/B]
You're talking about Muramasa? Anyway, that's besides the point.
Captain America's shield isn't made out of adamantium but rather proto-adamantium. Which is even stronger than normal adamantium. Your garden variety adamantium being a knock-off of it.
