Can a lightsaber cut through adamantium??

The answer obviously depends upon what interpretation of Adamantium you are dealing with. In some settings, it is simply unusually strong and light (a fictional Titanium basically). In other settings it is actually indestructible. In the Marvel universe, it is indestructible after it is initially concocted and cools. Thus it likely could cut the former but would do nothing to the latter.
I'm going to assume diamond being a metal was a typo,but being hard doesn't automatically make a material "strong".While it's true that it's the hardest natural material there is on Earth,it can somewhat easily be smashed,so a diamond going 200mph and crashing in a wall would just shatter.It's the same with concrete,it's incredibly hard and can be compressed to no ends,but the second it starts receiving impacts(a sledgehammer for exemple),it crumbles.Paksenarrion said:
OT:I think Wolverine could survive Vader's lightsaber,but the second he starts forcechoking,big W is fucked.
Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
If it is pure energy then how can one saber block another should they not just go through each other?Blights said:
Adamantium can be melted down, as it was done so to be applied to Wolverine's bones. I think it's the strongest metal, but still can succumb to heat.
Lightsabers can cut through anything. Even katanas and ninjas(although just barely).
Except magnets ... Wolverine's adamantined skeleton was sucked and liquified out of his body by Magneto.BlueGlowstick said:
If you look in the extended universe, Mandalorian iron can stop a lightsaber blade.Blights said:
If you want to get real technical, there is something that could damage Wolverine's skeleton. Adamantium was the name given to synthetic vibranium. Vibranium is the most durable substance in the Marvel universe, but it's controlled by one country, so scientists had to come up with a substitute: enter Adamantium. The most famous example of pure vibranium would be Captain America's shield, so I'm betting his shield throw would do some damage to Wolverine's skeleton.KSarty said:
Again, now I'm just splitting hairs. For all intents and purposes, Wolverine's skeleton is virtually indestructable.
Don't forget about Misty Knight's bionic arm. The one built by Stark Industries can liquify all known metals at close range, adamantium included.PaulH said:
What the Hulk tore apart was Wolverine's vertebrae, which are not adamantium. None of Wolverine's bones were damaged in that fight. All of our bones are joined by tissue, cartiledge, tendons, etc. That is what the Hulk tore apart.nomad240 said:
If you had bothered to read the rest of the thread before responding to my first post you would know already that Adamantium is created in liquid form and that once it hardens, it is indestructible.henritje said:
This is the kind of terrible logic that lead to the Adamantium bullet in Wolverine: Origins. Adamantium was created as an artificial Vibranium, but Adamantium is still indestructible. It is not as if Vibranium is MORE indestructible than Adamantium, that is like saying infinity+1.Macgyvercas said:
Considering the fact that in one of the comic, Thor hammer Mjolnir can only dent Captain America shield (the shield is made of Adamantium and look it up if you don't believe me) using his full force. With this in mind I think at best the lightsaber will only leave a black mark on the adamantium (I don't think it would cut through or maybe cut a bit of it).
Key word being Ultimate, we have no idea if the properties of adamantium are different in alternate universes (things like Galactus and the Cosmic cube are, so why not the more mundane stuff?)nomad240 said:
But even so, Hulk could rip wolverine in two without breaking any of the admantium bones, he'd just need to rip the tendons and muscles clean through and pop the bones from their sockets. Your bones aren't fused together.
This is a silly match up. A bunch of superheroes versus a vast empire of billions. Even so I'm loathe to accept that the Imperium would ever defeat the x-men, even if you pulled a completely brilliant surprise attack off, one X-man or woman would manage to travel back in time and warn the teams. It's just how it happens with them.Housebroken Lunatic said:And X-Men? What are X-Men? Why they are mutants of course! What does the Imperium of Man do with mutants? >
There's the fact that some X-men have had the power of gods able to devour planets like Dark Phoenix or wield telekinesis strong enough to put space and time in Nate Grey. Or that attacking them involves all earth's heroes, including beings of phenomenal power like Dr Strange or Scarlet Witch. Or that they've got intergalactic allies like Gladiator and Silver Surfer (who could unleash Galactus on their planets).
Even if it's just the last 200 mutants alone, the imperium is going to have a terrible time taking Earth simply because Magneto will crash every piece of metal (e.g. their fleet) together in Space.
Except Adamantium doesn't exist in his universe, so we have to play by marvel's rule which is that it's indestructible.Mikkaddo said:
I'm pretty sure that a lightsaber could cut through adamantium light a hot knife through butter. However for the sake of the argument lets pretend for a minute that it can't... it doesn't matter, force lightning would make short work of Wolverine, or mind trick could be used to make him rip himself to shreds with his own claws.
Regardless of how effective a lightsaber would be against adamautium, if Wolverine comes up against a Jedi, he's going down!

Theres only one way to find out: Invent a lightsaber, discover adimantium and make a sword out of it and give them to two people to fight with.
If darth vader and wolverine met, i think it would be a first strike first kill thing..
The fight would be over as soon as the first hit lands.. My money is on wolverine though..

When Adamantium meets a lightsaber and they really like each other, a stork brings them a baby...
But seriously...no.
But seriously...no.
I look at it like in the much wishing we never had to deal with it Star Wars Ep. 1 Blast door scene on the Trade Federation ship. Took time to get through that thing didn't it? So I'm pretty sure the same applies to Adamantium. But until you did cut through it, you have an effective anti-lightsaber weapon/shield to deal with those pesky Jedi with
