Adamantium is stronger but Vibranium absorbs energy better. This is why in the Marvel universe you see a lot of adamantium offensive weapons and a lot of vibranium defensive armors and sheilds.
1) Enchanted uru is stronger than both. Its magical properties that allowed it to smash Cap's shield earn it the top spot here. 2) Adamantine would probably be a close 2nd though. 3) Antarctic vibramium is pretty OP so it's hard to argue against this being next on the list after the magical metals. 4) Proto-adamantium (Cap's Shield) is the most indestructible substance in Marvel outside of the top three on this list. After that, Wakandan vibranium is far more versatile, but 5) adamantium is clearly stronger as it can cut through 6) vibranium. 7) Carbonatium (secondary adamantium) isn't nearly as strong as adamantium but it is far more malleable, and toxic. I have no idea where to put the futuristic metal, dragonite. Maybe ahead of proto-adamantium on this list but I don't know enough about it. And mysterium has a good argument to be #1 but, again, I really have no idea its properties. Then there's Colossus' organic steel, Silver Surfer's board, Hulk's pants... there're just too many materials and too many story lines to keep track of.
Think the way the comics tend to treat it, adamantium is near indestructible, but sufficiently super powered entities can damage it, (Thor for one) making it only near, but also can be liquified with Antarctic vibranium and the molecular rearranger Ultron uses to keep his malleable. Because its so durable at a molecular level as well, it can be made extremely thin, allowing for Wolverine's blades to cut thru most things due to how thin it is and strong it is. You can look up mono molecular wire as kind of a similar concept, where the durability and thinness of the material theoretically makes it a insanely good cutting tool. It's also subject to story plot armor breaking it, as shown by all the "dead wolverines in the future with broken claws" and so on, ranging from the Hulk to Gladiator. Vibranium is very hard to destroy, because it absorbs most forms of kinetic energy used against it and stores it, which also makes it more resistant to damage the more charge it gets, but is weak, again, to Antarctic vibranium, but unlike adamantium, its actually subject to overloading. It has a max limit to how much it can take, which is why you see Black Panthers suit destroyed often in Avengers comics. This does have a bonus though, it also absorbs impacts, like when Thor hit Cap in the movie and he didn't smoosh under the shield, or how Black Panther doesn't feel the impacts of bullets, and then can also redirect that energy with proper tech. Black panther often glows when this happens, showing a charge. This also makes it useful as a shield as it can prevent the user from taking the force of impacts, and even absorb some forms of impacts that seem out of place, like using Caps shield as a "pillow" to absorb a fall up to a certain point as the impact of hitting the shield, and hitting the ground are nullified, and only the users own body causes impacts (bone on bone, etc, as its hitting the user with the user, and not the user with the shield or ground.) Unique cases for Cap's shield is it is both metals combined, with a bit extra. It has the kinetic dampening effect of vibranium, and the near indestructability of adamantium. This allows it also its bouncing ability, as it takes kinetic energy and directs it where the shield is thrown. Think the comic explanation is it, as it has to "hit right" to have the energy release, and Cap has learned to make it so it bounces in ways the kinetic energy is retained, only hitting the right angle when it lands on his target. This is also why you often see the shield "cut" metal so easily. Currently it is supposedly "unique" as the recipe has been lost, but numerous entities have remade it, so it could be replicated, but isn't for story purposes. Antarctic vibranium, I believe, is not as durable as Wakandian vibranium for the most part, more being useful as a metal liquefier (I checked this on the wiki to try and double check and it makes no mention, so this is off my own memory, so take with a grain of salt) Its rarely used, so it may vary by story telling, but I know its been snapped by easier means, and I don't think it seems to have the ability to absorb kinetic energy the same way, instead producing its own vibrations that cause metal to liquify. Interestingly this works on Colossus of the x-men to the point it will immediately cause him to shift back to human as his body knows to avoid it. Uru metal is quite durable, but actually tends to be weaker then adamantium in its base form, but still generally pretty hard to destroy. It mainly gains its power instead thru enchantment as it holds magical charge well. This is the case with Thor's hammer, as its durability is a combination of Odin's magic, and its power is a combination of that and an elder god like entity that provides it with the power for storms. It has been destroyed ALOT, actually right now being a welded together portion of its pieces in the current comics. It loses its power without an entity inhabiting it, which has weakened it recently with the absence of the storm entity, which was replaced with Odin himself, and after Odin leaving its now largely charged by Thor's own Odin force. With the Odin force backing it, its able to both dent Cap's shield, and used to undent it. Other examples of Uru were the hammers from the fear god event. To show the lack of durability of Uru in comparison to the other metals, Hulk actually simply crushed his. Though he was mystically enchanted and enraged at that time. Other norse god's often have Uru weapons, as well as their enemies, with varying level of durability. The smithing of it also counts a lot towards its properties, with Thor's hammer being known as a particularly well crafted hammer by a skilled dwarf. But that can be said of any of these metals resulting in lesser versions. So durability wise, adamantium is good against anything up to a certain power range, and can cut most things. Vibranium can take up to a max output, but has many useful properties. Caps mix is near indestructible, and has vibranium's extra bonus's, usually taking a celestial, magic or Thano's level threat to break. Uru is almost inferior unenchanted, but enchanted can become superior to all the above metals, but requires a seriously powerful enchantment to do so. But the same could be said of if someone enchanted the other metals, though supposedly then Uru would benefit more from the same level enchantment. Molecule man would laugh at all of them and turn them into cheese.
Captain America's shield was broken more times than Wolverine's claws. But technically, vibranium is supposed to absorb any impact, no limitation. I wonder where this energy goes?
Vibranium got overused as a catchall magic macguffin to the point of annoyance, especially in the MCU. Adamantium seemed more straightforward and balanced as a world building element. Comic books are obnoxiously full of "miracle metals" and other fantasy elements or using real world elements in fantastical ways like tritium or pallidium or zirconium. Some of the uses just make my eyes roll. I just wish they'd try harder sometimes. A lot of these get overpowered to the point of world breaking. Circling back to vibranium, Wakanda's magical tech invented by a minor (super kid genius being another overused trope in Marvel) was just too over the top to me. Overcompensating real hard for real world Africa's lack of 1st world countries. I find it actually kind of insulting to Africa to ignore all the real countries and make up a fake one.
The MCU were limited to only being able to use Vibranium because Fox had the rights to Adamantium. Now Xmen, along with Adamantium are back home at Marvel.
vibranium first came out in 1966 in daredevil and adamantium first came out in 1969 in avengers 66 they both have been proven weak and strong at times so it all depends on who is writing the story lol. vibranium has a more versatile use i would say it is stronger because you can do more with it.
The Strongest metal in Marvel is 'Enchanted Uru', which is what the double bladed sword used by Thanos to break Captain America's shield in Endgame. Also Thor's new axe Stormbringer is made from Uru. So while strong, Adamantium and Vibranium are weaker than Uru.
I would say that "Enchanted Uru" is the "Most Powerful" metal in marvel, people tend to forget about Adamantine, another "God Metal" that makes up Hercules's Mace. As Amadaeus Cho once said, "Like what's on your claw (Wolverine), only godlier."
In comics Cap's sheild is adamantium but in MCU his shield is vibrainium Both are breakable, Thor's uncle the Serpent broke the adamantium shield. Thor also broke it using the Odinforce as well
@@saber822 Realistically with how heavy his shield must be anyone he hits in head with it especially with how fast he throws it probably dies unless they're as hard headed as me 🤣
@@A1NYCBKLYNGIRL-tc5ot you not knowing what I'm talking about doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about. Do you comprehend that logic or do I need to enroll you in a special class?
When I was a kid in the 70s and 80s it was only Adamantium. Vibranium was never mentioned in comics - first time I remember hearing about it was in Captain America First Avenger because they didn't own the movie rights for Adamantium.
The thing that settles it for me is the fact that Ultron chose adamantium over vibranium when making his body, and he had the intelligence of the scientist supreme
@@Anto_85571Yeah, dead post but people don't know how rare even beta adamantium is at this point. In X men only the U.S government knew how to make it, and their only lab that produced it got destroyed. Running into someone with adamantium would be like running into a mythical shiny Pokémon.
It all depends on the version of each metal your going off. In some versions vibranium is an offshoot of adimantium when humans tried to recreate it, in some versions vibranium is only weak to gamma radiation. In some versions adimantium is toxic which is why in most stories loan's healing is slowed. It also depends on the story and strong they needing to me so one is not stronger than the other....in my opinion
Vibranium origins are from outer space. There are different types of both Metals. I do know that proto adamantium is the strongest form adamantium. The is a version of Vibranium which is found in the Savage Landcalled Anti-metal which can destabilize any metal including Adamantium.
It's been established for DECADES that adamantium is the top dog in regards to "strongest". It sucks that the more time goes on the more people rely on what they see and hear rather than what they read, but the movies or the children's cartoons like Wolverine and the X-Men are not source material, aka the comics and novels; that's why they have their own universe designations to separate them from the original/mainline/source material (616). Vibranium has more applications because it's been studied and experiments with for 1000s of years, not to mention it's abundance (there's a whole mountain of it). Adamantium on the other hand, is rare as hell; the only actual adamantium is bonded to Wolverine, Sabertooth, and smaller portion is mixed into Captain America's shield. All other adamantium is synthetic: and even still, Wolverine found he can heat his claws up even tho it's rare, so who knows what properties/applications adamantium has. "Which one is the strongest" doesn't mean "which one has more properties", it means "which one is the strongest"...and that's adamantium hands down 👌🏾
@ThorOdinson-zc2kq prove how admantium is top dog?? What else can u do with adamantium besides make blades and combine it with a shield??? All wolverine can do with his adamantium is heat his adamantium claws up for better cutting damage.....that's it. Meanwhile TChallas Vibranium Suit literally has... Enegry Claws that can cut them limbs off brutes such as hulk. Wakanda Buster Activation in his necklace The Hand of Bast. Can Absorb & Reflect Damage. Can Block out Magnetos Magnetism. Vibranium was used to Build an entire Civilization...a Nation...the most powerful nation on earth Vibranium was then used to expand 5 Galaxies wide. Vibranium is deep within 5 galaxies/Star Systems... Vibranium is basically alien Technology/Rock. TChallas Enegry Daggers Stabbed Ultron in his Adamantium Skull.. Please explain how adamantium is top dog??? The only thing adamantium is good for...is DURABILITY. So...how is adamantium top dog again???
@@BigReuben97 guess you have to ask the most powerful comic character on earth- wolverine. Black panthers suit destroyed multiple times. Wolverines metal never destroyed just removed by magneto and replaced by apocalypse. Adamantium is the strongest as an attack metal, vibranium only advantage is kinetic energy storage. Thor never broke wolverine but destroyed caps shield
@ThorOdinson-zc2kq LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO. did u just say Wolverine is the most powerful comic character on earth???? 😭🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀💀 naaaaaaah bro. 💀💀💀 damn your a goofball. 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Wolverine lost to Black Panther 4 times. Wolverine is 0-4 against Black Panther. Wolverine is currently just died.....by hank mccoy(Beast). Beast just killed and cloned Wolverine 💀🤣. Wolverine is currently 0-5 against Hulk. Wolverine never truly can beat Thor. Wolverine lost to captain america. Wolverine is 1-2 against Spiderman. You have to be a fucking kid to think Wolverine is the most powerful marvel character on earth. WOLVERINE IS NOWHERE NEAR TOP 10 🤣💀. Wolverine got knocked out by a Deer. If you won't pick up a comicbook with your kid logic bro 🤣💀
To my recollection, Wolverine listed in marvel guides states he’s 5’3 and 195 pounds. Growing up in the 80’s I recall that vibranium being so expensive is a component of adamantium, and what made captain America’s shield special was a component that was added to the mix that the scientist wasn’t able to replicate making it one of a kind.
Dont forget Marvel also has the indestructible Asgardian Uru metal, which Stan Lee states is not on the periodic elemental table. It is immune to magneto's powers and might be more indestructible than adamantium and vibranium.
I am sure Magneto can control Uru metal. Thor's hammer is not just made of Uru, but enchanted by Odin. I think that is what makes the difference. Uru vs Adamantine is more the accurate rivalry comparison.
@@alanguages I was quoting stan lee. He said magneto couldnt control Mjolnir when they first fought because thor's hammer has no iron and is from a higher plane of existence in Asgard. It doesn't exist on the elemental periodic charts. The enchantment is not the ONLY attribute that prevents magneto from lifting Mjolnir. Stan's words...not mine. *note: stan lee created both thor and magneto...so I'll take his word for it. However, jeff leob wrote a story in the alternate ultimates universe, where thors hammer was like any other metal hammer and magneto could control it.
Stan Lee also stated Galactus had eternal hunger, so was limitless in his power. Yet, in the comics, he seems to lose more battles, and effectively became the cosmic joke out of the cosmic entities. It was never explored between Magneto and Mjonir in the main marvel universe. We will have to see what the writers come up with. Moon Knight was able to control Thor's hammer with enchantment and all. Yes, he is not Magneto, but with the enchantment nobody else should have been able to do anything with it, unless their power level is higher, than an all father.@@RichWards-Wins
@@alanguages wrong. they DID explore this Fight in Journey into mystery #109 written by stan lee & jack kirby (main and Original continuity). Magneto could NOT control thor's hammer. But he could put up a field to STOP the hammer from crushing him. Later thor simply drained magneto's protective shield with Mjolnir's magic and magneto retreated in fear. *this was the First fight magneto had with a non mutant...and First fight with an opponent more powerful than himself. (Google "Journey into mystery #109" and click 'images' to see that fight in the beautiful pages of Jack kirby artwork ).
@@alanguages it’s truly shocking and shameful how Marvel has turned Galactus into a giant punching bag. Thor routinely takes his lunch money the same Thor that gets the bricks beat off of him by Thanos.
Adamantium. Vibranium is strong and can absorb energy. But adamantium was the result of trying to replicate captain America shield that was a mix of vibranium with an unknown metal. It failed but it created adamantium!
Actually I believe adamantine and uru would be the strongest metal s this is what Hercules is Mace and Teddy Roosevelt Wolverines claws are made of and Uhuru is what Thor's hammer is made out of.
@@scarredface2684 So... now we know why wolverine's so popular with the ladies, he's long, and strong, he's got the vibrating going on! *I'll see myself out now...*
On what planet is Vibranium stronger than Adamantium? In terms of strength & durability, they're both ridiculously strong, durable and versatile, however in the 35+years that I've been reading comics it's: 1-Adamantine 2-Adamantium 3-URU THEN 4-Vibranium Unlike in movies where Cap's shield is made (purely) of Vibranium, in the comics is made of what's known as Proto-Adamantium since it's comprised of, Adamantium, Vibranium, Steel & unknown catalyst, which together are stronger than Adamantium. Wolverine's bones/claws are made from True Adamantium NOT secondary, as was implied in this video. Also, another correction, Cap's shield was also destroyed by Thor's uncle, The Serpent in the Original Sin storyline, making it 6 times it was destroyed, not 5. Have a great day , and a great rest of your week, Ladies & Gents
I seem to remember in the 90s Marvel comics Captain America’s shield was an alloy of Adamantium and Vibranium. Anyone else remember this or was that just me?
When collecting, never read Abt vibranium in X-verse or adamantium on Avenger verse. I assumed adamantium was stronger but vibranium more useful due to secondary properties
So, this gets even more difficult. While the video is correct about how Cap's shield was created in modern canon... it's worth mentioning this origin is actually a retcon. Originally, Cap's shield was a combination of Vibranium AND Adamantium, along with an unknown additional agent. It wasn't the prototype for Adamantium, adamantium already existed. The origin was retconned in the past 30(ish) years. Also worth pointing out, Wolverine weighing 300 pounds is ALSO a retcon. There was a time Wolvie was listed as 5'3" tall and weighed 195 pounds. This was before Wolverine lost his metal due to Magneto. At the time, there was no concept of Wolverine without Adamantium -- meaning he was 195 WITH Adamantium. Because Wolverine without Adamantium simply wasn't a thing yet.
Nothing you said actually supports vibranium being stronger that Adamantium. I’d say adamantium is stronger. Adamantium with enough force behind it could cut or pierce through vibranium like we saw with thanos and his uru sword in endgame.
Adamantium was and is the strongest in Marvel comics. Disneys marvel didn't own the rights to the X-Men when they were creating the Marvel cinematic universe so they used what they had which was the B rated at best avengers team and their vibranium. There is no comparison Disney did this because they literally had no choice they couldn't even say the word adamantium with out getting sued.l by Fox.
adamentium is stronger then vibranium it was developed for that purpose,it take some times but it can cut vibranium,adamentium came from a meteor from space and its sort of canon that it comes from the predator planet,whe wolverine fights predator in some crossover there blades are equal one cant break the others because there both adamentium. what i wonder since in the movie thanos could cut captain americas shield i wonder if wolverine fights thanos if his sword could cut of wolverines claws or not,if thanos his sword can cut caps shield it is either adamentium itself or something even stronger. how is mysterium stronger then adamentium? it superconducts electricity and withstand magic but so can adamentium,if its better sololy depends on if its denser because that means more durable. you might be right but youre mensioned reasons dont indicate that.
The particular pic of Wolverine originally used in the thumbnail image is from ERB: Wolverine vs. Freddy Kruger to be exact. Logan was played by Epic Lloyd.
Too be fair it dependson the comic but. Let say of Logan didn't have the insane healing factor he would lose the fight hands down. But black panther actually win this fight tho.
The White Hot Room is not merely meant for serving the Afterlife. It literally is the heart of all of creation and the heart of the Phoenix Force. She'll decide who lives in there. Jean Grey has her family in there and other people she wanted to live with. It is Jean Grey's very own realm. After all, she IS Phoenix.
Dildanium is flexible and unbreakable, perfect from the start and substituting a man in every way, especially your old heroes, probably going to be in the next Marvel movie..
It’s pretty clear, according to what was actually stated in the comic books, that adamantium is stronger. Vibranium is not as strong, but has properties that adamantium doesn’t. While not as strong as adamantium, vibranium is depicted as stronger than any other substance, except Uru metal.
According to the Marvel RPG Vibrainium had a strength of class 40 meaning could take 40 tons of damage pressure. While 2nd Adamantium had Class 100 able to to with stand 100 tons. True Adamantium has class 1000 abilities. So Sorry Wakanda it does not stand a chance. Only one that stand a chance is Savage Land Vibrainium which did take out a true vibrainum version of Ultron but not by its strength but by its special abilities.
@@kaiper9982 Think its actual strength is the ability to absorb certain forms of kinetic energy. May be they quietly retconned it as Black Panther became popular
[This was settled back in the 80's. Here is the list from the roleplaying game.] Feeble: Cloth, glass, brush, paper Poor: Normal plastics, crystal, wood Typical: Rubber, soft metals (gold, brass, copper), ice, adobe, computer chips Good: Brick, aluminum, light machinery pieces, asphalt, high strength plastics Excellent: Concrete, Beta cloth, iron, bullet-proof glass Remarkable: Reinforced concrete, steel Incredible: Solid stone, Vibranium, volcanic rock Amazing: Osmium steel, granite, gemstones Monstrous: Diamond, super-heavy alloys Unearthly: Adamantium steel, certain mystical and enchanted elements Class 1000-5000: Materials of these material strength ranks are virtually indestructible, such as Cap's shield or Thor's hammer Vibranium is a metallic substance that occurs in two related isotopes. There are two types. Wakandan Vibranium is found only in that isolated African kingdom. and its existence had been kept secret from the outside world for years. Wakandan Vibranium is a sound absorber. and a 6 oz. lump will absorb all the sound in a single area (40 m radius). Sonic attacks are reduced by 5 ranks for effect. A gun with a Vibranium silencer would be totally silenced. Antarctic Vibranium, the other form of the substance. weakens the bonds of metal atoms, causing them to melt. A 6 oz. lump will cause all metal in an area to become liquid (material strength FEAT to avoid). Wakandan Vibranium is only rarely available due to the substance being kept by the Wakandan people and entrusted to the care of their ruler, T'Challa, better known as Black Panther. Antarctic Vibranium is only slightly less available since the destruction of its source, the Savage Land. Both forms have Incredible material strength. Similar to Vibranium, there are two forms of Adamantium. True adamantium is a mixture of chemical resins whose exact nature is a government secret; it has Class 1000 material strength, sufficient to resist the attack of an atom bomb. Secondary adamantium is less expensive, but while still very strong, is of Unearthly material strength and may be destroyed by the more powerful heroes of the Marvel Universe. It should be noted that Captain America's shield is stronger than true adamantium and is made of an Adamantium/Vibranium alloy of unknown creation and consistency.
In the original Marvel Universe comic book series, it was described that Adamantium was stronger than Vibranium, and if I recall they had a Wolverine vs Captain America fight, and Wolverines claws left scratches in Captain Americas shield. Captain America wins because he was a more controlled combatant, and Wolverine was more wild… 😏
