This link discusses this question pretty well

This is great! Out of curiosity, where does your chemistry knowledge come from? Your final statement sounds like you're saying you're not a chemist yourself, despite the impressive amount of knowledge in here. Did you do additional research for this?

Question: If vibranium is a specific network solid like diamond is for carbon, does that mean there's a theoretical weaker form of vibranium found elsewhere in the universe (ala coal)?

I think your conclusion is accurate, but one of the ways you got there might not be;

>2, alkaline earth metals aren't found freely in nature, so if it was in group II, Wakanda wouldn't be mining it up, they would be synthesizing it in a lab.

Vibranium might not occur "naturally" at all. It only arrived on Earth through space, via meteorite during Wakanda's pre-history. It is extraterrestrial in origin, and beyond that we don't know anything about where it comes from or how it is created.

Wakanda mines it because it crashed into Earth, not because it occurs naturally on Earth.

The only thing I wanted to add to this is - in Black Panther, didn't Shuri say that raw vibranium was too unstable to transport - hence why they had the fields to 'deactivate it'. I don't know if that changes the initial part of your theory.

As a chemist, I'm impressed.

Gonna comment this because it doesnt seem like you know. But you are absolutely right! Proto adamantium (Caps Shield) is a specific blend of wakandan vibranium and iron/steel (I can't remember) and beta adamantium (Ultron adamantium) is an attempt to recreate it and whatever wolverine adamantium is called is beta adamantium when it interacts with healing factor and apparently has "different" properties

Nice! It's been a long long time since I was in AP Chem, don't think I'd be able to pull this off. Nice job!

While both adamantium and vibranium are extremely durable and the latter has some very versatile properties, they are mundane in nature. If you want a metal ideal for possessing magical properties and resisting magical attacks, uru is the way to go.

In the MCU, vibranium seems highly resistant (yet not outright immune) to the effects of the Infinity Stones. However, the Stones are described and shown as being more reactive toward organic beings and matter and less likely to freak out when touching something inorganic, which may be while various metal containers are used to control and/or isolate them.

Vibraium seems to have some mystical properties related to the pather god, but what those exact things are i dont know. adamantium got nothing

however, if you were to touch wolverines claws of black pathers suit to mjolnir nothing wotn happen, they dont interact with them in that way

As you've mentioned yourself, wakandan vibranium was mentioned to interacting very well with sorcery, hence why Doctor Doom got very interested in it, however beyond him making a suit enhanced with vibranium, I don't remember it being brought up afterwards.

Adamantium is a purely mundane metal, not having any kind mystical properties.

Adamantine however is a golden divine metal of Olympus, the metal Hercules' mace is forged out of. It also holds enchantments as well as uru, and likely as strong, if not stronger.

Marvel Comics Presents actually showed a few issues where adamantium caused a massive explosion when it interacted with hellfire. However in a more recent Uncanny Acengers annual, the phenomenon did not repeat. (Will post the images when off mobile.) In general though, as others have mentioned adamantium doesn't react with mystical forces in any special way. In fact, magic is often an effective way to shield from or affect the otherwise very sharp and strong metal.

I'm less familiar with the ins and outs of vibranium, but I believe it can absorb magical energy much like it would other energy types. I want to say there have been at least a few instances where Black Panther delved I to the magical applications of vibranium. He might have enhanced himself with enchanted vibranium at one time?

They have zero mystical properties. In fact, you're probably better off using iron in some instances.

Stronger than Adamantium

Even after Yaksha was killed, his ability to pacify and subjugate any land creature remained in his body, specifically his bones.

DC's Nth Metal. Capable of neutralizing magic, negating gravity, generating heat and energy, granting healing, etc.

Vibranium = super hard, weird vibrational properties (supposedly underlying all the other pseudoscience of the material like medicine, energy, and "vibration negation")

Uru = super densely packed making it extremely strong and perhaps weird to magic/reality manipulation, like, it's more dense than it should be

When that forging thing happens with Uru (trying to be as spoiler-free as possible) it's hard to tell size scale but it might be that more ingots are melted than would be needed for a weapon that size, this might also be why they use the neutron star as an energy source, however they've learned to make it, it might be easiest using the radiation/energy from the star directly (that makes pretty much no scientific sense but I don't really care)

������������ true f’n story!

Vibranium is specifically designed to mitigate impact, so blunt weapons made of infinitely strong material would still be unable to dent without sufficient force behind the blow

Strongest doesn’t mean indestructible. I mean, if it did how would anyone even work with it? For vibranium to be used in all the stuff we see it in, it has to be able to be worked, molded, stretched, cut, polished, etc.

Also, consider that his wints arent a single solid piece of metal, theyre many parts pieced together. He can simply pull those apart like legos while leaving the parts intact.

This is what I think happened. Hulk didn't bend or break the Vibranium which isn't possible. He pulled the wings from the connectors which possibly aren't Vibranium

So is his hammer more stronger than vibranium?

It is mechanical. It moves therefore it has weaker breaking points. You know like how tendon and bones are organic material? Well bones are much harder to break, but easier to dislocate. That being said, all metals can weaken at a point for various reasons. In the comics, even Adamantium has been bent. Probably broken too, but don’t quote me on that.

They showed Angry Han fully charging both wings' vibro-blasts in one hit early in the fight, where Captain Falcon had an "Oh shit. This is bad!" look on his face.

My best guess is that multiple super-strong hits during the fight stressed the joints to the point where he could apply super-strong leverage to turn the vibranium's strength against itself in the weakened joints.

However, I think he just tore it straight out without any special leverage? It happened really fast, so I'm not sure.

Actually yeah. Logan is an excellent example. With his adamantium skeleton hes been ripped in half before. Because of his spine ligaments. So the metal didnt break. But was weaker where the spine bends

Also, the weapons of the Black Order are made of Uru, which is why Corvus Glaive is able to stab Vision (whose body is Vibranium synthweave).

I have so many questions… 👁️👄👁️

If he could make money off of his waste he'd do it by now.

It's best not to think about it because if you look to much into it nothing makes sense. If the man could absorb and become Vibranium how would he breathe? How would he have stomach acid to break down his food? how would he breathe?
