Can A Lightsaber Cut Through Adamantium

Can lightsabers cut through adamnatium

There are different version of adamantium but the question is can Wolverine's version be cut.

Beta Adamantium

Wolverine's skeleton was originally reinforced with true Adamantium. His mutant Healing Factor not only allowed him to survive the process, but it also induced a molecular change in the metal. Beta Adamantium functions like True Adamantium but does not inhibit the biological processes of bone. This fact only became apparent after Magneto forcibly extracted the Adamantium from Wolverine's skeleton.

Adamantium is a very dense, artificial, iron-based alloy that is virtually indestructible. A sufficient amount is capable of surviving multiple nuclear explosions with no damage. A pure blade of Adamantium is capable of cutting almost any known substance, with the known exceptions of Adamantium itself andCaptain America's shield. The ability to slice completely through a substance with an Adamantium blade depends upon the amount of force being exerted and the density of the material in question.

Creating even a small amount of Adamantium is astronomically expensive, and only a few people know the complete formula. Adamantium is created by mixing certain chemical resins together. The exact composition of these resins is a closely guarded secret of the United States government. When these resins are mixed and kept at a temperature of 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit, the resulting liquid can be cast or worked into a particular shape. After eight minutes, the mixture sets and becomes solid. Its molecular structure is extremely stable, and its shape can only be altered by precise molecular rearrangement. However, due to the sheer density of Adamantium, there are few known forces capable of altering it's molecular structure.

Im interested in the Standard Lightsabers Cutting power.

A lightsaber blade was a mass-less form that neither radiated heat nor expended energy until it came into contact with something solid. The power of the energy blade was so great that it could cut through almost anything, although the speed through which it cut depended on the density of the subject. One important note about lightsaber wounds is that they rarely bled profusely, even when a limb had been severed. This is because the energy blade cauterized the wound as it passed, and thus even a severe wound did not tend to bleed heavily.

When cutting through dense material, the immense electromagnetic field generated by the arc caused resistance rather than letting solid matter enter and interrupt the arc. This gave the blade a feeling of being solid when immersed in dense material. Rarely, some solid materials could actually pass through the electromagnetic field and short out the arc. Other electromagnetic energy fields and coherent energy were also repelled by lightsabers' arcs. These include most force fields, blaster bolts, and other lightsaber blades.

This is interesting....

I can tell you copy-pasted, probably from Wookieepedia. Still, I say no.... but it could be yes. It should be easy to persuade me.

yea, the only other information on either one would be through books which i dnt own.. also info on wolverines skeleton would be buried in comics as well.. and i know alot but ive never come acrossed anything that specified anything on his bones.

if these elements were realistic what type of energy would the saber be made of and how durable would a metal either created from a meter or man made from current elements be??

@FMStyyx: Plasma, Force. What metal?

how durable would adamantium be if it was real. im not sure would would be used to make it up but id expect he hardiest and most durable as well as shiny metals would be used..

@FMStyyx: Oh. If Uru and Adamantine existed they would be top, IMHO.

i agree too.. itd be too rare to be used for everything so if it didn exist who ever had it would be screwed (war for resources)

@FMStyyx: Umm... what? What if he has Mjolnir?

if adamantium was real it would be the hardiest most durable metal ever but i think itd be so rare that who ever has it would be screwed because every nation would try to get their hands on it. also mjolnir wasnt strong enough to break it was it ( all the xmen and wolverine comics i have i dnt think ive ever seen a Wolverine vs thor fight. so idk how wolverine would hold up against magic..

Tough question, I would say yes. Don't ask me why.

Maybe...

Probably not,I don't think it can.Wolverine survived Nuclear blasts,it's extremely durable.

Possibly.

Well in TPM I took a really long time to cut a blast door so I don't think so, I think that adamnatium would cut through the light saber

Adamantium would NOT cut through a light saber.

Also, a light saber could not cut through Adamantium as well. Wolverine's claws have tanked far more dangerous things than concentrated plasma.

i agree with you. the metal is incredibly durable

Yes, but Uru and Admantine>Adamantium IMHO.
