Summary

Adamantiumis one of the strongest materials in the Marvel Universe , butIron Mandiscovered the closed book to its devastation . The sought after material ofttimes reach the like of Wolverine an boundary in fight , and it stand up up well against even the might of the Hulk , but it is n’t invincible . Tony Stark will never wear an adamantium courtship because he knows Antarctic Vibranium obliterates it without contest .

In 2006’sIron Man # 12- write by Daniel and Charles Knauf , with nontextual matter by Patrick Zirche -Iron Man ’s Argonaut suitsare out of control and causing end everywhere . There are five in total , each designed for a specific aim and made with varying materials to hold that . One of the suit , which Tony dubs the “ Battle Argonaut , ” is made with adamantium . It is , as expected , improbably powerful .

Yet , strong as it may be , Tony holds the headstone to its demolition already . Antarctic Vibranium , the material used to build the “ subterraneous ” Argonaut suit , renders adamantium all but useless . It rip apart the Battle Argonaut suit , proving once and for all that Iron Man will never be get wear out adamantium armour .

Iron Man Knows How to Destroy One of the Strongest Metals

Adamantium can stand up tonearlyanything , and it has been put to the mental test through decennary of Marvel ’s most grueling battles . Wolverine and his family unit are still standing , after all , and shred their manner through any number of foeman . Within the adamantium family , there are unlike levels of strength , with True Adamantium ranking as the strongest . Unfortunately , even at peak enduringness , it isno catch for Antarctic Vibranium . That type of vibranium is , essentially , the “ kryptonite ” for all thing adamantium , and even the most well - designed armor would n’t support a probability against it .

AsIron Man # 12shows , Antarctic Vibranium completely disassemble the adamantium lawsuit just by being in its vicinity . Since vibranium is a ingredient of the adamantium alloy , it ’s lilliputian surprisal that the effect is so strong , but Antarctic Vibranium affectsallmetals . It works by emit vibrations to destabilize molecules , sometimes to the point in time that alloy becomes liquid . The Battle Argonaut is n’t even utter adamantium . It only has a coating , but that is enough to render it vulnerable . If Iron Man vanish aroundin an adamantium suit and just one baddie got their hands on Antarctic Vibranium , he ’d be go forth completely incapacitated or worse .

Adamantium’s Biggest Weakness is Difficult to Acquire

Wakandan Vibranium absorb various forms of DOE , but the Antarctic variance is the opposite . Instead of absorption , it give off vibration .

Although adamantium does have an incredibly good failing , Antarctic Vibranium is n’t something buy at the street corner store . While it is n’t a total enigma , few people know what Tony recognise , let alone have access to the material . Antarctic Vibranium number from the Savage Land , an aptly named tropic region of Antarctica where few successfully venture . Should it become widely used or weaponized , its effect on adamantium would be the least of anyone ’s worries . It could potentially destroy integral cities with minimal movement . Still , even the pocket-sized chance of someone else bring out and using Antarctic Vibranium will preventIron Manfrom ever usingadamantiumto create his armor .
