      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.

      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.

        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.

      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.

        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.

          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.

      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.

        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.
