Can a lightsaber cut through adamantium??

[Icarion (aka Stockholm)]

I think the adamantium would reflect it since it's light and Wolverine has cut stuff up with refracted lasers a couple times

i don't even think it would take a long time.

Its a beam of energy, and as far as my severely limited knowledge extends the only thing thats ever blocked a lightsaber is a second lightsaber.

/uneducated but completely correct oppinion

vibroblades can do it. (read: learn something about the expanded universe(read: I'm a twat))

(Bigger twat comment)That weas only because teh vibroblades had corosis woven in between teh actual metal of the balde. And for the record (Before I say this, I was a HUGE EU nerd when I was in elementary school) corosis shorts out a lightsaber blade, meaning other things can cut through it. And I think orbalisks (the thingys the Darth Bane had all over his body) are also lightsaber proof (I think. Its been a while).

OT:Lightsaber would totally win, becaause unless teh blade is shorted, it will cut through anything.

I think the lightsaber could cut through it, but I agree it would take a really long time. I mean, when you think about it, adamantium can be heated to produce a liquid and since lightsabers probably generate heat that would help cut through the adamantium.

I thought Adamantium could only be turned into liquid state once. Depends if we're talking about Wolverine or otherwise.

Who knows what George Lucas would do with that, he'd probably create a new sub plot to it involving the meaning of life and abandon it later. Just something he'd do.

Yeah, it is created in it's liquid form. Once that initial mixture hardens though, nothing effects it. You could hook up a lightsaber and a bar of adamantium to a machine and have them pressed against each other for 1000 years and it still won't have done anything to the adamantium.

Isn't that question pretty much an analogy of the "What happens if an unstoppable force crash with an immovable object?"-question?

 

[Gudrests]

Lightsabers doesn't exist, silly, and neither does adamantium.

=)

As for the hypothetical question, I have no idea. Don't know the specific properties of either subject, so any statement I give would ultimately go without any data.

Correction....they made a real one...but the blade part dosent slide out like that its housed so its always that long...but yeahhh...danageous and can make you go blind...by looking at it

Yes, basically. We're talking about a metal that the Hulk can't even scuff.

You know what I say the result would be?

Cunnilingus /askthatguy

 

[blankedboy]

Well yeah. It'd heat it up and, since adamantium melts, melt the part of it it's touching and cut through. It'd just take a while.

 

[Bernzz]

I'm not really sure, at all.

This does raise an interesting question. If you could slowly cut through Wolverine, would he heal in time? Could a Jedi/Sith ever succeed in a fight with Wolverine?

Adamantium doesn't melt though.

Technically no. Wolverine has even better plot armor than Luke Skywalker. The old comics maintained that a shot through his eye socket into his brain would still kill him, but that no longer applies. It has happened and he got better. He has actually been reduced to just his skeleton and still healed.

Wolverine's healing factor increases in parallel to his popularity.

Who knows what George Lucas would do with that, he'd probably create a new sub plot to it involving the meaning of life and abandon it later. Just something he'd do.

He would probably say something like, "The fans have been looking forward to a Star Wars/Marvel Universe Crossover, so here's how we'll do it. Midichlorians-"

...and the resulting flop defeats both lightsabers and adamantium.

Also, neither lightsaber nor adamantium can break through diamond, the strongest metal known to man.

Especially if it is a diamond-shaped 200mph, going at the speed of wall into an iron made out of car.

X-Men 2. The massive bubble bath of adamantium.

This question has bugged me ever since I heard it on the RoosterTeeth Drunk Tank Podcast (for those of you who don't know what that is, go download it for free from iTunes). In truth, I believe it absolutely could do it, it would just be a long time to do it, like the adamantium would be fighting with the lightsaber.

What do you think happens?

Maybe a beam katana could... preferably the dragonbane

 

[the fake]

what do u think star destroyers are made of?

Is how it was created. The components of Adamantium are mixed into a liquid form, once the liquid form hardens it can never reach that form again. Striker actually says exactly that in the scene you are referring to.

what do u think star destroyers are made of?

Durasteel

In Knights of the old republic you can use focus crystals or something to change the colour of your lightsaber. does that imply that a lightsabre is focused light? because if so I think that though the lighsaber would not disrupt the adamantium it would superheat it, not to the point of melting- as that is impossible. the superheated adamantium would cause wolverines entire body to almost vaporise (over time, which I guess defies the term vaporise).
in short it would kill wolverine but his adamantium bones (minus the bones or any human body tissue) would be left behind. he wouldnt regenerate because he would obviously have nothing to regenerate from

yeah... how do you melt an indestrucable metal?

off note- according to runescape logic; runite is stronger then addy

so many that could cut it?

...and yeah I barely play RS I just remembered that and got ticked off a bit...

More importantly, would the fact that adamantium can survive contact with a lightsabre (which is apparently actually a blade of plasma held in place by a force containment field: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lightsaber) prevent it from becoming incredibly hot? How well does adamantium conduct heat? I'm just wondering because it might help Wolverine much that his claws can clash with a lightsabre when it causes his skeleton to heat up a few hundred degress? He can of cause heal, but it wouldn't be pleasant for him.

Even more importantly, how does Death's (from Discworld) scythe/sword fit into this? Can that cut through adamantium or a lightsabre?
