C'mon now, the kid would know who wins before drawing it. (it's Vader)

[–] Pxtl@lemmy.ca 36 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Vader has The Force, but Wolverine can recover from whatever injuries he gets. Vader has been removed from battle by serious wounds at least 3 times so far.

Do lightsabers cut adamantium?

[–] klemptor@lemmy.ml 13 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Is there a known material* that lightsabers don't cut? Serious question.

*Beyond that time ~~Kylo~~ Emo Ren had a hissy and attacked a console, that thing should've been way more damaged.

[–] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 26 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Yes, the beskar armor that the Mandalorians have has been shown to block lightsabers several times. I'm betting that adamantium is stronger than beskar, so Darth Vader could only cut Wolverine until he hit bones, and then Wolverine just shrugs it off. The Force telekinesis would be more dangerous to him.

[–] Sheeple@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

Adamantium is not even the strongest metal in the marvel universe. If you want a comparison to beskar, look at stuff like vibranium.

Marvel also in an interview confirmed that lightsabers could break vibranium

Force telekinesis from his nipples

I was thinking of the one from Dark Forces, but I guess all of these are non-canon now?

[–] Pxtl@lemmy.ca 13 points 11 months ago (2 children)

It's kind of a moot point anyways? I mean, how good do you think they're going to be at parrying under this circumstance? They're both gonna get stabbed in the chest.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 24 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah but that will kill Vader and mildly annoy Wolverine.

Vader should Force Push him off a walkway with no handrails, it's his only option.

I think if he used Force Aneurysm that would probably work temporarily but if lightsabers can't cut adamantium it's just delaying the inevitable.

These are the hard hitting debates that bring me back to the Internet every day.

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Could they move the nipples separately? If yes, then one nipple blade to block and one to stab?

[–] H1jAcK@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

There is a large amount of discourse on this topic

[–] Candelestine@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You know, I was thinking about Superman and Goku the other day...

[–] Quentinp@lemmy.ca 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

How about the hulk with a red lantern ring?

[–] nxdefiant@startrek.website 1 points 11 months ago

Green lantern rings are willpower right? I'd give it to Vegeta with a green lantern ring vs hulk with a red one.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Nah, in canon, it's been shown to be resistant to similar types of coherent energy. It might slightly mar the surface because of the heat, but it wouldn't cut it. And even the heat thing is my giving the light saber properties beyond what's shown in film and in books.

[–] Phlogiston@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's always difficult to merge worlds but maybe adamantium is roughly equivalent to beskar or slightly better.

I think wolverine would win in that fight. He's got lots of experience fighting many different enemies varied power including "throw things at him" and can take a ton of damage. In contrast vader will be a bit surprised by the healing abilities, commentary and hidden armor.

[–] tias@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

That was my initial thought too. But if Vader can stay at a distance and force-choke Wolverine until he's passed out, then Vader could move in after it's safe and basically burn up every ounce of Wolverine's body except for the adamantium using the light saber.

[–] bassomitron@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I'd think so, as far as I'm aware they can cut thru any metal if given enough time. In the movies and TV show the only thing that fully blocks sabers is another plasma/laser type thing.

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Enough time is the key phrase here. Adamantium absorbs a goldly amount of energy in the marvel universe, to the point of being literally "unbreakable" in a canon with a fuck ton of different energy blasts/weapons.

Vader aint going to melt it in the span of a hand to hand fight filled with glancing nipple saber blows.

Sans force powers, wolverine takes this.

[–] bassomitron@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Good to know, I can now rest easy knowing the most likely outcome of this nipple duel!

[–] FederatedSaint@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah I was surprised how long they took to get through (start to melt) the blast doors in the first prequel.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

The actual winner would be Snake Eyes from G.I. Joe, who comes down from the ceiling, does sick throwing star moves and kills both.
