Can Superman bend a bar of Adamantium?

You can't. That trick only worked for ultimate wolverine. Prime universe wolverine was explicitly NOT vulnerable to being pulled apart as the process that made him was different.

And yes it's been tried. AOA wolverine should have undergone the same process as prime wolverine, since the timeline diverged after he was created.

Lol, finally a chance put to use all this comic book knowledge you've accrued.
 
Depends on which supes were talking about slay.


What's tougher Nth metal or adamantium.

Nth Metal got that magic/science thing going on...

Who said Supes was stronger than Hulk????? They lied.

they did not.

Superman has like seven trillion powers tho

child please.

Man he jobbed to Doomsday. Piss Hulk off and that dude would be looking like how Hulk had Black Bolt looking during World War Hulk. Magneto would murk S-man if he has iron molecules in that Kryptonian blood. Supes ain't really bout that life.

Doomsday was equal to Superman back then and he and Supes got stronger and stronger as the years went on. very few things (that aren't cosmic or high level magic) can fuck with solar powered Kryptonian.

Good news! They're compatible!

Solar energy provides the power that opens the portals, but the energy itself is extra dimensional.

Last I checked anyway...but who can keep track.
 
No, once adamantium is set, you have to manipulate it on a molecular level to effect it

Or have Anti Metal.

Superman can hold a blackhole in his hands, lift a book of infinite pages, see at a subatomic level, live inside a sun, made the key for his fortress of solitute from a drawf star that he can pick up with ease, lift thor's hammer and rip and repair space time. If he fan do all that then definitely he can definitely fulfill that task.

Nah bruh. He'd get Bodied by Vi out here. No question. Lets not craft an actual logic to this and give Hulk access to Kryptonite or the location of a red sun. Luthor scheming with Hulk to take the cape down? Too easy fam. Straight up hand to hand? Supes would get murked. Heat vision or ice breath? Really now? I don't see it bruh...I'm not saying it would be an easy fight but Hulk ultimately by any genes necessary...

What happens when Superman Blows up the planet.

Pretty funny if he can do all that and can't defeat Wolverine.

please. Sodam with Ion couldn't beat Superboy.

you didn't present a proper argument with feats by characters and accompanying footnotes, lol.
but seriously Hulk is not taking him down. planet busting strength and near Flash level speed plus invulnerable plus heat vision hot enough to restart the sun. and that's not talking sun drunk Superman.

Lol I don't want to make this into a comicvine debate but this fight has happened so many times and hulk doesn't have a way to win. Even if superman can't kill him he would BFR him across the universe.

please. Sodam with Ion couldn't beat Superboy.

I Know lol. I remember reading some feat comparisons putting Daximites above Kryptonians in some areas.
 
Ultimate Hulk sure did and then some

but wait, I seem to remember Wolverine' s skeleton isn't fully adamantium

Wolvie's skeleton was "laced" with adamantium. Basically he had veins of adamantium running in a random pattern through his bones.

So if you were in a swordfight with Wolverine and you tried to chop his arm, you'd chip his bone (at best) and then some tiny strand of adamantium would full-stop the sword. Then his healing factor would fix the bone chip and close up the flesh wound.

His claws were different because they were solid adamantium, laser sharpened like a fresh razor blade that literally can't ever go dull. I don't really think that works with his skeleton-bonding process, but they initially ran with the idea that the claws were a mechanical weapon, built externally and surgically implanted, before they came up with the idea for Wolvie's bone claws (after Magneto pulled out the adamantium).

Couldn't a super strong person pull Wolverine's claws out from its sockets?

Theoretically, I think so. Like in my swordfight example, the ideal would be to target his joints, not his bones. Although I think someone said that Marvel came up with a counter for that (as if Wolverine needed to be more overpowered).

Wolverine isn't op lol
 
Not that I don't think that Superman wouldn't mop the floor with the Hulk, but how can Superman be stronger than the Hulk when the Hulk has limitless strength based on his rage?

They don't get that into it

But fun fact, Adamanitum is actually a failure.

It was meant to duplicate the uniqueness of Cap's shield. But even it falls short.

Wait - I thought Cap's shield was a vibranium/adamantium alloy?

Superman has limitless strength based on how much sun he absorbs.
 
Wolverine isn't op lol

Not by Superman/Hulk/Goku standards, but for a while there he was very overexposed (not sure if they're still doing that, outside of the movies).

He's got weaknesses. Blow curry in his face to overwhelm his sense of smell. Punch him in the gut to make him fall over (like Cyclops). It would be silly if Marvel started writing out these weaknesses just because they don't want their golden boy to ever lose a fight.

Superman has a no limits fallacy too the longer he stays under a yellow sun the morepowerful he gets overtime. If he sun dips in a yellow star his power increases exponentially lets not even get on about neutron stars.
 
As long as we're crossing universes:

Can Green Lantern bend Adamantium with sheer willpower?

Firestorm should be able to transmute it.

You're mixing up different versions of Superman - but as with all these debates, if the version is silver age Superman, there is pretty much no character - certainly not Goku or whoever - who can take him outside of The Spectre at full power, who is literally the wrath of God incarnate.

Silver Age Superman could just sneeze and destroy whatever solar system the adamantium was in.
 
If One Punch Man punches Wolverine, will it spray all his flesh in a fine mist across a nearby wall and just leave his skeleton standing there being spoopy?
 
Funny, I was just looking at cv battles on which metals would be better:

Nth
Promethium
Adamantium
Vibranium

Majority decided to go with Adamantium and Vibranium with maybe Nth metal somewhere in there.

*sees someone mention OPM* I'll go back to lurk mode.
 
But how powerful is his puch? we gotta get some numbers to see.

I'm too lazy to physics, but he punches hard enough to cause a visibly global impact on weather patterns. That's a decent punch, probably.

(I'm sure if he were a Marvel/DC character it would be explained that his power comes from the Punch Dimension/Punch Force and is effectively infinite, because that is how the comic book do. I would probably instead go with the narrative explanation: his punch is however powerful it needs to be to defeat a given opponent in one punch.)

It's a gag manga, so whatever is funnier. The more they boast about their powers, the more likely Wolverine will just be dust. Even if he didn't destroy the skeleton Wolverine is done for, his ass is in outer space and he would straight up die there. Even then Saitama killed someone who can regenerate by punching him, so really you shouldn't think too much about it.

Anyways depending on what version of Superman, he is also a Super Scientist. He can see atoms and work with them as an experiment if he wants to. In All Star Superman he basically looks at himself and Lois, and using his eyes can sequence their dna so he can eventually carry his legacy. He also could see the workings of the universe down to every atom, so Adamantium being atomically bonded shouldn't be a problem for a super smart version of Superman, since he can fiddle with stuff at a fundamental level by tinkering with it. If he can't physically do it, he can invent something that could, but I bet he could do it doing something ridiculous like his super precision and laser beam eyes can shave off electrons and atoms. But that Superman was intentionally a homage to Golden/Silver Age Superman who did ridiculous feats and logic went out the window.

I know the exact page your talking about lol. In the Adamantium vs N'th metal most chose N'th due to it's magical property.

#dead lol

I figured it'd be that.
 
here's one- Asteroid M was apparently Cable's old ship/base Greymalkin, reconstructed by Magneto. Cable sneaks himself aboard to retrieve the A.I. that still remained. Magneto catches him and just shreds him to pieces



This was before the wolverine business by a few months/years. Magneto was that strong by default.

This is during the same crossover event, "Fatal Attractions"...Magneto does this to Cable in X-Force #25, and he does his thing to Wolverine in X-Men(adjectiveless) #25.

As someone else mentioned, at this particular time, he was boosted due to his near death/discorporation within the Earth's EM field
 
I dunno. I remember Superman tanked a blast from a machine Reed Richards had made that was meant to cut through adamantium.

if it goes straight through thanos then its going straight through anyone, if there is one thing Thanos has over Superman its that he's is literally indestructible. And if Doomsdays bones are cutting Supes then I know adamantium is popping right through that S in his chest.

fuck you Doomsday btw worst villain ever.
