The two most famous metals on the earth also happen to be the strongest. Fictionally, unfortunately, or fortunately because who knows for what they might have been used if they existed. Definitely wouldn’t want them to be used for weapons.
Pitting the two metals against each other, which one would be stronger? Would Wolverine be stronger than the Black panther? Or vice versa?
We did some research into the metals and found some interesting facts.
Let’s take a look at some of the properties of both the metals:
Vibranium - Vibranium is a rare metal believed to have originated from a meteor, 10,000 years ago, which hit the eastern part of Africa, Wakanda (origin not confirmed).
The metal is said to absorb vibrations and sound waves and store them within its molecular bonds, which makes the metal even harder to destroy.
As seen in the Black Panther suit, the vibrations that are absorbed through the forces it is hit with are released explosively into the field. The energy stored within the metal can be tapped.
It is one-third the weight of steel and conducts electricity.
Adamantium - Adamantium is a manmade metal, just like steel.
Dr. Myron Maclain, a young scientist, tried to fuse steel and Vibranium but failed on many accounts. However, the fusion occurred with some unknown X-factor when he dozed off one night. That unknown factor remains a mystery as no trace of it has been found. This metal is Proto-Adamantium and it is used as Captain America’s shield.
Maclain tried to replicate the metal but failed again. He then came up with an alloy that was close to Adamantium without Vibranium. It was created when two components melted together and cast within 8 minutes. The components are kept in resin blocks.
When heated, resin evaporates and the components are fused together at a temperature of 815°C. It is allowed to set and the result is an extremely strong, dense metal. Once set, it cannot be altered or manipulated.
The molecular structure of Adamantium is quite stable, even when it is liquified at high temperature.
The metal can cleanly cut through the other metals. It is practically indestructible, as you’ve seen in the Wolverine and X-men movies.
There are many different types of Adamantium like Proto-Adamantium, True Adamantium, Secondary Adamantium, etc.
Are Adamantium and Vibranium real?
Adamantium and Vibranium are not real. They are created as fictional metals in the comic book of the Marvel Universe.
The closest metal to Adamantium to exist in real-life is titanium. It is an alloy of steel that is way harder than stainless steel.
Another metal that could possibly come close to having the extraordinary properties of Adamantium and Vibranium is the Graphene metal. It is the thinnest metal, yet also one of the strongest. It is harder than a diamond but elastic than rubber, tougher than steel, and lighter than aluminum.
Scientists are working to tap into the potential of graphene and make the powdered form into a sheet. If successful, it can withstand the weight of an elephant without cracking.
Steel is one of the hardest, ductile, versatile metals on earth with properties that can come close to those of Adamantium. Well, some types of steel can. Steel is quite stable, as the steel price in Bangalore. It can withstand heavy force due to its tensile strength.
It is also one of the most sustainable metals as it can be recycled many times without any loss of its properties. Primary steel dealers in Bangalore produce the best quality of steel in a wide range of products.
Adamantium vs Vibranium
Now, comparing the two metals against each other, Adamantium is definitely denser than Vibranium, which means it can possibly cut through it. It is obvious that Adamantium is stronger than Vibranium because Maclain used Vibranium and steel alloy to create it.
However, the only metal that can possibly destroy the Adamantium is the Antarctica Vibranium, otherwise known as Anti-metal.
We have seen many instances from the Wolverine movie where Adamantium has endured countless attacks and still stands strong and un-distracted. But so has Vibranium. Cap’s shield was destroyed by Thanos with his infinity gauntlet. Maybe only godlike powers can dent or destroy the metal.
Guess we have to wait for an actual fight to take place between two characters with each metal and see the outcome.
