[@Agonis100]

A duel similar to this actually happened in the Star Wars EU/Legends novel "Shatterpoint." To quote Mace Windu in the novel: "And the metal itself... well, that's an interesting story of its own. It seems to be an alloy that the fungi don't attack. It is extremely hard, and never loses its edge. Nor does it rust, or even tarnish. It also seems to be a superconductor. This is why my blade could not cut it: the entire shield is always the same temperature throughout. Even the energy of a lightsaber is instantly conducted away. Hold a blade against it long enough and the whole thing will melt, but it cannot be cut. Not by an energy blade."

[@LoisoPondohva]

That is much more like Vibranium.

[@Agonis100]

Indeed! Great observation! I hadn't even thought of that. Interestingly, like Vibranium, the metal in the novel "Shatterpoint" (called Ultrachrome) was used in sharp, teardrop shaped shields called Vibroshields, the Ultrachrome having been salvaged from the armor of an ancient derelict Starship. Rather like how Captain America uses a Vibranium shield. Mace Windu notes in the novel: "I use my sword as a shield. They use their shields as swords."

[@bofflethewaffle]

Except that Vibranium (at least the Wakandian) doesn't "conduct" the energy away, it absorbs it. The vibrations in the metal don't cause it to heat up, at least to a certain point. At some point, a shield made from pure (Wakandian) Vibranium would violently explode when exposed to an energy source like a Light Saber. Because that's what (Wakandian) Vibranium does.

[@dugyfresh92]

Those teardrop shaped shields sound like prince rupert's drops.... which would make them basically indestructible if they can dissipate the energy caused by vibrations

[@kevenmaharaj8893]

I think there was a problem with your calculations, you calculated the 4MW using the entire area of the lightsaber when plunged into the blast door. More realistically the lightsaber would only be using its tip to melt the blast door as it was melting the material in front of it. This means the surface area used to melt the door would be much much smaller, more like the surface area of the outside of a semi sphere with a diameter of 3 cm.

[@Sphendrana]

Ok, but how long would it take for a lightsaber to kill Wolverine through cooking him via heat transfer with his skeleton, due to the speed of his regeneration? Can we use science to explain this one? #BecauseScience

[@entertainmentfan1463]

If we go by the comics, Logan will likely have that lightsaber split his body in half and this has happened in the past by forces arguably weaker than a lightsaber, and it never ends well for Logan when he loses massive chunks of his body including the skeleton.

1:49 "That's like saying that once water is ice, it can never become water again." Actually, once water becomes ice, its crystalline structure can be altered into many different phases, some of which will only melt at much higher temperatures. Adamantium could be going through a similar transformation, freezing at about 1500F and then spontaneously reorganizing itself into a crystalline phase with a much higher melting point as it further cools to room temperature.

[@WolfgangDoW]

It is an alloy too, so this sounds like something that would happen

[@2vectors708]

i still don't think that scene from the wolverine is valid, heating the metal ,as you said in this, would make it weaker thus the unheated version of the metal would be stronger and able to cut through the heated version, in that scene the heated sword should have been cut to pieces by wolverines claws.

[@gawain0]

Especially since, if my memory is correct, Wolverine later got the sword and when he held it in two hands (the the "proper Japanese fashion") it automatically heated up to the glowing white hot stage in an instant. Not sure if that actually happened as I watched the movie a few years ago, but I seem to recall that happening.

1500 DEGREE plasma sword v movie wolverine blades

[@OmegaTou]

If the adamantium had a impossibly high heat conductivity in addition to an impossibly high specific heat capacity it could survive even longer against a lightsaber. And I think Logan's healing could probably deal with boiling skin. I mean, it can handle disintegration in some of it's more extreme iterations.

[@brandonmyers1876]

Logan's healing slows with multiple big wounds and 3rd degree burns are extremely painful.

[@aname3288]

Brandon Wrong yet again. OLD Logan`s healing factor slows with multiple damage with big wounds and lots of pain. Alongside the clone Logan. The original prime Logan can take pretty much anything. Hence why he is able to stand in a nuclear blast and heal just as quick as the damage deals to him. Alongside this. Without the healing factor slowing down at any point. As seen the Wolverine film. Straight after the nuclear explosion. It barely got through to his bone, not only this, but it healed all remaining wounds within seconds. SPOILERS. As its clearly states in Logan. When the doctor is talking to the clone, and at the other points of the movie. The clone isnt a perfect copy. And he even slowed down purposely so they are able to control him. How much he is able to heal is decreased due to how he was cloned. How fast he can heal is decreased to be controlled.

[@brandonmyers1876]

Even Logan wouldn't survive the epicenter of a nuclear blast. He got by because he was in a well and far away from the actual explosion but he still had most of his skin burned off from the blast wave in the well. Young Logan is definitely more resilient but he can still die from taking too much damage at once or too much constant damage for his body to keep up with.

[@aname3288]

Brandon read the comics, it happens like 3 times, one of which they literally target HIM and drop it on him. He survives it as a walking adamantium skeleton by regenerates everything not long after.

[@Randoman590]

A lightsaber. Way cooler and more visually impressive, a lot more civilised, longer range, more versatile, and less painful every time you get it out.

[@I86282]

This is a good question. Technically the answer is Yes. A lightsaber could cut through wolverine's claws. However it depends on a few parameters. And if those parameters are not met. Then the answer is No. If you could apply enough Force. NPI. And the power source of a lightsaber was strong enough. Then you could conceivably cut through. However no normal organism capable of wielding a lightsaber could apply that much force. NPI. Unless you were actually using the force. PI. However very few force-users are even capable of utilizing that much Force-power. And the more force that is applied with a lightsaber. The more power it draws. And since we would be talking about an astronomical amount of power to get through adamantium. We're not talking about an ordinary lightsaber here. So both an xtraordinary force-user and extraordinary lightsaber could conceivably do so. But even then it would take quite a bit of time. Which of course I'm sure wolverine would not sit still for. So it would have to be in extremely extraordinary situation. So in general I would say No. But I guess I'll watch the video now and find out what you thought. Well you almost had it right. You automatically discounted one of the prime features of adamantium. Making yourself wrong. Probably should stop doing that. For sake of and easier explanation. It doesn't matter how much energy you put into adamantium. It will never Re-Liquify. The closest thing to that is. Electromagnetic deformation. Which is not caused by heat. But a specific rearrangement of adamantium molecules. Otherwise you would have to apply heat energy directly. In what can be thought of in no uncertain terms. As an astronomical amount of energy. At which point it would turn directly into a gas. Not a liquid. And again that's over a long length of time. Much longer than one second. Come on man stop trying to cheat Aa Snap saw your addendum. But again that battle is not going to last very long. And even if it did. And burned away his body. outside of his skeleton. It would just grow back. However during that time. If thay could produce enough Force. using the force. And had a special power source. capable of producing astronomical amounts of power. Then yeah maybe. And that's as definitive as it's going to get.

[@dannovarius]

Aleksey Mochalov I think it is too!

[@beauhenry105]

WAIT YOU FORGOT SOMETHING!!!! Adamantium is magnetic, and given the Lightsaber (Plasma sword) is controlled by immensely strong magnetic fields, wouldn't it severely distort and crush Wolverine's claws when the two weapons clashed? I'm just thinking of this because of magnetos constant control over Wolverine in every battle. And you explained in a past video that light sabers were plasma tubes controlled by a magnetic field that was created by the hilt of the blade.

[@gawain0]

Adamantium would be ferromagnetic since he's not sticking to every metal object (like car keys for example). Therefore the domains in his claws would just align themselves with the lightsaber and the lightsaber would be just fine. I'm not sure if this next sentence is accurate but the aligned domains might actually make it easier for the lightsaber to cut through the claws. Good point though.

[@BenHowardDG]

This needs to be the top comment

[@Invirulent]

I don't know why people insist on treating Wolverine charging at Magneto as some kind of fight. If a piece of paper yelled and threw itself into a fire would it be considered a fight? How about if a bird cursed and threw itself into an oven? Because everytime Wolverine charges Magneto, everyone acts like "OH MAN HERE WE GO FIGHT OF THE CENTURY" and i just go "Oh look Wolverine is still stupid."

[@PsypherWolf]

I believe the magnetic field is there only within the saber circumference, otherwise it would stick to metallic surfaces the whole time it's active or unintentionally pull small metal objects to it constantly.

[@SSVjoker]

Beau Henry problem is, lightsabers can cut through iron (durasteel is made out of iron), and that is magnetic too, so that wouldn't make a difference

[@willthebeast8002]

One would think, but something can't cut and be cut at the same time, i believe. And Light Sabers deflect each other so I don't know.

[@Washeek]

Most probably couldn't, but depends on how you specify a cut. If we keep the definition of lightsaber as being a condensed and contained beam of plasma, than it would have to be contained in something presumably some kind of electromagnetic field - hence why it deflects laser blasts and other lightsabers and generally sometimes behaves as a solid object. Under this definition, it would probably bounce of kinda like when you try to make two same poles of magnets touch. However if lightsaber operates differently it could also just kinda go through with nothing at all happening. You can try it at home by cutting a flame of a candle with a knife ;-)

[@techguypaul]

As always, your sound effects are on point. And this analysis is so on point. Based on how a battle like this would likely go down, Wolverine would most definitely get his claws cut and would die within the first couple exchanges.

[@tigersebel]

In think that a lightsaber couldn't cut through adamantium because in the star wars universe itself there are some materials that can withstand lightsabers. For example: Mandalorian Iron, Phrik, Cortosis (sort of) etc. Adamantium has amazing durability feats and i think it could be even stronger than some of those materials here. So i think that a lightsaber could not cut through Wolverines Claws. Thank you for the Video btw.

[@GoldenWhistle]

tigersebel wolverine took a nuke to the face , only his admantium skeleton survived and quickly healed. also it cools down in seconds . imagine the heat of the nuke. so no, no amount of heat can melt admantium

Next question after that is how many of those brief contacts could the claws take before giving out? They don't automatically dissipate the heat as soon as they leave the lightsaber so each exchange should be increasing the temperature until they reach a point where they are dissipating as much energy as they are getting or they melt.

So just to add some info that may or may not make a difference, The handbook of the Marvel Universe does say " For eight minutes after the resins are mixed, the Adamantium can be molded into a particular shape as long as it is kept at a temperature of 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit. ...The extremely stable molecular structure of the Adamantium prevents it from molded further, even if the temperature remains high enough to keep it in liquefied form". It also states that a sufficient mass of Adamantium and survive a direct hit from a nuclear weapon. It doesn't give what the mass has to be, but that would indicate it can withstand high temperatures. I love the thought experiment though.

[@Zappina]

An atomic bomb(nuclear or atombomb) as you called it produce 300000 degrees celsius of heat at ground zero. Not too much isnt it? Thats why concrete bunkers can withstand a nuclear explosion very close to ground zero. An H-bomb(thermonuclear) however produce 10 million at ground zero. Both cases the heat decrease rapidly. While 30 meters from ground zero the temperature is "only" 4000-6000 degree celsius with the A-bomb, with the H-bomb its still 3-400000 celsius. Under the fireball everything is burn or vaporize however further from the fireball the heatwave can only hurt you if you are directly exposed to the light. In the Wolverine movie, the nuke was the worst imitation of a real nuclear explosion. Heat rays are instantaneous as well as neutron radiation. The blastwave is not hot that far away from the fireball and it dont follows you inside a hole. At that distance they would suffer 3rd degree burns the instant when the exposion happened as well as temporaly blindness but nothing that cause instant death even to a normal person. If Wolverine would survive the explosion at ground zero, then he would probably survive a lightsaber attack, but i guess he would be instantly evaporate as any other person would.

Logan would have to balance his healing abilities with the extreme burns he's getting from the inside out. If he can get around that lightsaber he's good, but the whole time it's going to be agony. Love your work!

[@dennissimoneau5243]

I have one, why aren't wolverines teeth adimantium , apologize for the misspelling

[@robertsmithson9100]

Because he only got adamantium coated onto his bones. Nothing else.

[@stettan1754]

Teeth are bone, buddy.

[@nathanallen4316]

Yeah but they didn't coat his teeth

[@dennissimoneau5243]

Nathan Allen why didn't coat it

[@iliketacos886]

Stet Tan teeth aren't bones, if they are why are they stronger than steel and bone it self?

[@kshark6043]

Wolverine's claws took on laser eyes from that Deadpool from X-Men Origins Wolverine and in that film Deadpool got it from cyclops and I think cyclopsis heat vision is just as powerful as a lightsaber.

[@gandalftheantlion]

But cyclops "laser" is not a laser at least I'm repeatedly told it is a concussive beam... What ever that is.

[@brothatscrazy3418]

k shark Lol, Cyclops uses a concussive beam.

[@kshark6043]

Be honest how many of you believe a lightsaber can go through adamantium come-on its anamabtium you can't break it

[@kshark6043]

I'm not too sure what Cyclops uses hell maybe he's a Kryptonian. That can only release solar radiation from his eyes

[@Seeriosa]

Also, the time needed was calculated using all three claws. A much shorter lock would be necessary if they were hit on the side, which is definitely feasible for most jedi to accomplish.

[@bungchew3552]

No.

[@Supermynci9000]

It depends.

[@madcatmeow196]

Yes, because science

[@frooploof]

Actually, In the comics Wolverine was burned alive and extreme fire was everywhere, And only his skeleton. And even though you said his skin will boil out, who said he doesn't have regeneration. and how OLD Is wolverine at this time ?

[@hazardous8301]

The True Blue Sonic Fan that wasn't focused heat, big deference.

[@frooploof]

Either way, how OLD Is he Is he at his prime In this battle. It depends and who said the person with the Lightsaber was trained or force sensitive, cause If they were then they could force choke Wolverine.

[@harjutapa]

The big, glaring issue in these calculations is that you assume it took Qui Gon Jinn an entire second to pierce the blast door, and it was clearly much less than that. Just watching the clip you shared, it's clear that he's cutting through a very big length of the door per second. Of course, the door isn't a full saber deep, but it seems like there's a lot more of it getting melted.

[@aWildKITsune]

Now I wanna see a comparison between adamantium and Beskar with the new information brought by the mandalorian

[@ManofSteel4889]

Thor's hammer has enough power to shatter a planet Wolverine has survived nuclear explosions And Wolverine's skeleton/blade has been hit by cosmic entities that makes planets quakes AND IT DID NOTHING So.....the only way to make Lightsaber's cut through Wolverine's claws is to not make them Wolverine's claws anymore? Yeah thats fair and or logical

[@ManofSteel4889]

Oh there are ways around the skeleton......I mean stick the lightsaber through his Eye hole would be my suggestion

[@timmymorrison]

or just kill the guy wielding the ssword

[@connorfox1551]

yes ikr. and you cant compare 2 canons XD in marvel adamantium is literally indestructible and cant even be melted twice but in star wars a lightsaber can cut through anything but another light saber...WTF THEY CANCEL OUT

[@suwiee0600]

Actually yes, you can cut trough another lightsaber provided it is not made from "lightsaber resistant" materials, which surprisingly very few force users used.

[@TheSucidalpanda]

Timmy, kind of hard when the guy you're trying to kill can suspend you in the air, and smash you up and down until he gets bored. Honestly every major character in star wars at one point have moved star destroyers, try and tell me they couldn't pick up wolverine...

[@Franklyhesaid]

Taking away the fact that adamantium cannot melt twice was too much of a nerf, It's like taking away the light sabre capability to maintain a steady blade like form because plasma in the real world cannot do that. Both weapons on their actual scale should be measured with all its perks and cons. I would think that matter that cannot be melted twice is effectively inmune to any heat based weapon. If light sabres could be a cold based weapon instead... Adamantium would have no chance, if you can't meltdown the claws, you could break them. Anyway, great video as always... happy Sunday everyone.

[@CrazyTobster]

Using the example where the lightsaver goes through the door... The metal used to build any kind of spaceships would probably come from nanotubes because of the amount of metal needed and because it is so light.

you cant cut off his arm any easier than you can cut the claws, his entire skeleton is fused with adamantium

[@sickkunt1573]

No of course not, why would it?

[@michaelsherman4694]

A side note that I noticed that would make a difference has to do with the crystal structure that you mentioned. Another possible explanation for the concept of "adamantium can only melt once" could have to do with impurities. If raw adamantium had even a small percentage of impurities in it's raw form (and many metal ores have rather high concentrations of impurities), it could drastically lower the melting point. Thus after melting once and effectively smelting out the impurities, it may crystalize completely differently and drastically raise the melting point of the pure metal to the extent that it seems unmeltable. This could allow the adamantium to stand up to the lightsaber for significantly longer. A real world comparison would be iron. Iron oxide can be smelted into iron at around 1250 C, but iron's melting point is 1510 C, and steel's melting point (being mostly iron with a small percentage of other impurities) being 1370C.

[@cheekycheeto4703]

Cheers!

[@johnwerner6445]

No a lightsaber cant cut the claws or true adamantium. The melting point of the metal is not the adamantium itself but the compounds that mix to become adamantium. True adamantium like the metal that cases wolverins entire skeleton is made of vibranium mixed with other alloys. According to the comic books, the components of the alloy are kept in separate batches - typically in blocks of resin - before molding. Adamantium is prepared by melting the blocks together, mixing the components while the resin evaporates. The alloy must then be cast within eight minutes. After it cools it can NEVER be remolded again. So no you cant melt true adamantium with a lightsaber. And you cant cut it either because the amount of force to even swing a saber remotly fast enough would break the saber. Adamantium wins

[@johnwerner6445]

Adamantium bullet is the movie stuff. So no and no again. Lightsaber loses every time

[@teoli67]

John Werner . I agree. I thought that was so lame and inconsistent when they shot him in the head. Stick to the script. Its indestructible once formed.

[@Nukestarmaster]

+ArchmageTech Lightsabers do not have magnetic fields, if they even are plasma swords (doubtful) they would use some other mechanism to contain the plasma (like, say, the Force).

[@elijahfoltz3755]

How can a lightsaber break from attempting to cut through adamantium? I've never heard of lightsabers being broken by anything but the blade of another saber cutting through it (for instance, the final battle in The Phantom Menace when Darth Maul's saber is split in two). I dare you to logic THAT.

[@vincentj2587]

ArchmageTech of course the force wielder can also use the force to rip his adamantium skeleton out or use the conductivity of one of the alloys used to make the adamantium to their advantage by force lighting-ing him thus electrocuting his organs

[@DeathlyQuietVA]

you forget wolverines healing factor...

[@sickkunt1573]

Monk B his adamantium does heal, it’s part of his body structure

[@shaneebahera8566]

@Adamentium vibranium wolverine's healing factor affected the adamantium creating beta adamantium which can heal along with his bones

[@kawaiikitsune83]

Last 30 seconds or so are the best scifi explanation! (still I recommend watching the whole video ;) ) Wolverine can regenerate even from super high temperatures but he needed to be inside a water chamber when he got his Adamantium infusion, but again he's no dumb so he won't do a long contact more than once (Ok, lightsaber's hot, lesson learned!). Long story short: Adamantium vs Lightsaber: Adamantium wins. Wolverine vs a Jedi: Depends how skilled is that particular jedi. Wolverine w/lightclaws & Adamantium infused skeleton vs anyone: RUN.

[@jameslightfoot1872]

One factor you didn't really take into account is latent heat of fusion. If Adamantium has a remarkably high latent heat of fusion, it would account for the behavior of the metal as described in the comics and movies. While it melts at 1500 degrees, it might require a huge energy input in order to change state from solid to liquid. Also, once liquified, it would hold a huge amount of heat that would have to be dissipated before it could solidify. This could explain how it was kept in a liquid state for so long, and why it was so hard to melt it in the first place.

[@swosheeplays9453]

The dark earth tannards Wolverine can take on most jedi knights because jedi have a tendency to forget they have telekinesis.

[@gabemerritt3139]

Phesheya Bhembe Wolverine could probably take on jedi knights but not masters

[@brandonmyers1876]

It's the magneto problem for logan.

[@aname3288]

Let me help you a little tiny bit. If it was a situation where all the Jedi had to do was push wolverine back and prevent him pressing a button or something. Its a pretty easy win for the Jedi due to his force powers. However in terms of fight to the death? The Jedi dont really have the power to kill Wolverine in their pocket. They can badly injure him, but he would fully recover in seconds., if they was to attempt to force choke him, it would take AWHILE, and I mean AWHILE as in a week or maybe even a month. (So Jedi`s do have a ability to kill wolverine, but I highly doubt they could sustain it for the time needed. And Brandon, I guess you only watched the movies. Magneto a bit like the jedi would just throw him away and maybe do a lot of harm to him. But magneto did his full power against him, and wolverine survived. He ripped the adamantium from him, molecule by molecule. And what happened? Wolverines healing factor got quite a bit supercharged. And he just fully regrown his skeleton very quickly. So even the guy who counters Wolverine on a large scale, struggles to actually kill him, that being said. In order to kill him. You need to literally do damage equivalent of a planet hitting/crushing him.

[@hazardous8301]

Niall Quinn you don't have to kill him to beat him and if we are talking about a Jedi master then they would be much better trained and even faster then wolverine could ever hope to be. Malgus without his light saber vs wolverine could be interesting though.

[@cccaaannn3162]

adamantium can not melt again (after first time),even you give more heat than original melting point.movies made it wrong

[@camrigirls]

cccaaannn how so? In the movies the Adamantium does not re melt remember the hot Adamantium sword? It was heated so long and not once did it melt, heated Adamantium can only cut through Adamantium because the heat just adds stored energy to the Adamantium and basically creates a new form of Adamantium that’s stronger than regular Adamantium, the directors talk about it

[@jaden6640]

Yes they can. Because starwars is way better then wolverine.

[@TheBigboy453]

Thundernugget your logic is sound

[@KirPeco]

[@cagan1357]

True

[@matrixarsmusicworkshop561]

Boring

[@Wohren_Oss]

Here's a variable. When they said that adamantium can no longer melt, it could be taken that solidified refined adamantium had yet to be melted by that time's machinery. Not that it couldn't, but that it had yet to be achieved which would involve researching what at the time was the highest temp achievable in a lab and calculating to those standards. And yes, there would be temp transfer on to wolverine but he could heal, and that's also a factor outside the adamantium vs lightsaber debate as one could argue a sword wielded by some other character against a lightsaber.

[@Mububban23]

2:27 - okay I was wondering where you were going with those animals, hahahaha. I love this show :-)

[@Binyamin.Tsadik]

Although all metals can be re-melted, there are certain alloys that have a much higher melting point after they have crystallized into an alloy as compared to its constituent parts. You also stated in previous videos about the thin edges of Adamentium Claws. If the lightsaber touches the thin edges the thin edges would get to higher temperatures quicker.

[@darthungeon2872]

I always thought it was weird how Qui-Gon's lightsaber stabs directly into the blast door right away, but takes all that time to continually cut away at it.

[@GweiTheLeafChild]

Plunging the lightsaber into the door takes much less than steering the whole length of it through the door

[@danenberghelm]

For what it's worth, Wolverine's Claws have easily stopped Lasers, Plasma Blasts, in the Comic version of "Days of Future Past", a Sentinel Generated "Solar" Flame that killed Wolvie, but left Skeleton and Claws fine. The metal only real weakness is it is magnetic, slightly more resistant than Iron or Steel but it does allow Magneto to toss him around and eventually figure out with enough effort he can drag every molecule out of Wolverine's body...not good for Wolvie! Also, Canon supposedly has broken with Strikers statement in that 1500*F will keep the metal molten, due to some type of catalyst that has been injected in Wolverines body, which quickly causes the liquid metal to harden, adhere and actually blend into his bones as a good quality dye does to cotton fiber. Argument has been made also that non-scientist Striker misspoke, that either it is actually 1500*Cnot F... much more likely but also a fantasy amount of 15000 F is what he meant...I personally doubt any ability in the Xverse, that a metal cam be kept molten in an open(!!!) container at that temp. So, I prefer the Canon catalyst theory myself, perhaps even adding the Striker misspoken 1500c, since decent steel bends around 1510*F, melts at 1370*C. I know this clip has been around for a while, but "Questions, Comment" as a certain Vampire Doppelgänger would say?

[@pazuzu7779]

I like how the power down sound was like the sound made by the tractor beam controls when Obi wan powered them down.

[@terak4786]

Without watching past the intro: The answer depends on how hot the lightsaber is. We've seen them used to cut blast doors on a star ship. We also know that adamantium has to be able to be melted, or it could not have a liquid state that it could be injected into Wolverine in, where it hardens into the skeleton we know. So, if a lightsaber can generate enough heat to melt adamantium, then yes.

[@Jonny5Fails]

I'd like to point out that, even if (somehow) adamantium can't be melted twice, it can still heat to a point where it becomes malleable. In fact, melting really isn't even the issue here. All that needs to happen is for the metal to be heated to a point where it's shape starts to warp and for a significant enough force to be applied to split it. When it gets heated in an area, that area becomes weak and easier to separate. It's also not "destroying" it because it's technically still intact. So the real question should be whether or not a jedi's swing of a lightsaber has enough force behind it.

[@megamattzx]

Wolverine versus Jedi/Sith will not just depend of weapon efficiency but also the efficiency of their abilities like Wolverine's healing factor and mastery of the force. this might be an interesting video to explain

[@SpaceGhost97]

Lightsabers cannot cut through the following substances: 1.Cortosis Cortosis is a rare mineral from the Star Wars Expanded Universe. It is a somewhat fragile light grey, chalky rock that has the strange property of being impervious to both heat and energy. It is highly resistant to blaster bolts, and cortosis alloys are capable of resisting or even deactivating Lightsabers, the only mineral to do so other than phrik and beskar. The process of mining cortosis requires the use of hydraulic jacks, since its properties render plasma torches useless. 2.Beskar Beskar is also known as Mandalorian iron. It is a very rare metal that only the Mandalorian armour smiths know how to shape. It is fairly useless when mined, but when it is shaped by the secrets of the Mandalorians, it becomes a very hard metal, capable of absorbing many hits from blasters and even lightsabers. The Mandalorians make their armour and swords out of it, and in the recent "Legacy of the Force" series, have made fighters and gunships out of the rare metal. 3.Phrik Phrik is a very dense alloy in Star Wars. It is able to resist lightsabers. General Grievous traveled with his droid bodyguards, a set of IG-100 series MagnaGuards, who wielded electrified staffs made of phrik. Darth Sidious' lightsaber had a phrik alloy covering. The dark troopers also had body armor made of the alloy. Phrik is mined, as portrayed in Star Wars Droidworks. The alloy was also featured as a component in Dark Trooper manufacture in the game Dark Forces. Also once adamantium hardens, it can't be melted: True Adamantium Also known as Primary Adamantium, this is an attempt at the recreation of Proto-Adamantium. This is the Adamantium present in Wolverine. It is nearly as strong/durable, but unlike Proto Adamantium, Primary Adamantium is possible to be reproduced. Only beings with godlike powers (such as Rune King Thor) or with strong magnetic powers (like Magneto) can manipulate Primary Adamantium. Otherwise, it is completely indestructible to all forms of attack. Being this strong, it is very rare and expensive to create/manipulate and is top secret in the US government, though it has shared it with some of their "allies". Once liquid Adamantium cools and hardens, it can never be manipulated again So this is pointless because the lightsaber can't cut through EVERYTHING and adamantium can't be melted. P.S. Heat transfer doesn't work when you got a guy who can fucking heal from anything. Depending on the writer, Logan can heal from his skin being burned off to surviving a nuclear blast.

[@MrSnotrock3t]

Also it must be considered if the light saber user is ALSO using the force. If we're talking Wolverine vs literally any Jedi with force powers, then it's the Jedi via force pull » decapitation 100 times out of 100. Now let's say it's Wolverine vs Fin. In this scenario I'd say W wins most of the time, but not without significant damage to his skeleton and features (how do you regrow melted skin if the metal underneath is permanently melted and hardened again in some crazy way??) W would look something like the Thing but smaller.. Anyway, I love these videos. Keep up the good work!

[@Xenoti]

Wolverine has healed from nothing, See the prequel event to Civil War, in the comics, so so having his skin boil off is nothing at that point but very painful. When Deadpool kills the marvel universe he never actually Killed Dakken, X-23 or wolverine. He trapped them in a place with flame throwers set to burn their skin off as they healed to a certain point. Even he didn't know a way to kill someone with that powerful of a healing factor. So his skin would boil, he'd heal, and the fight would come down to exhaustion. I just wanna see a jedi try to mess with his broken brain. Loved the episode!

[@drink15]

The metal will still be hot for hours. The fight will be over until it cooled enough for cells to regrow. Making the Jedi the winner. Also he didn't heal from nothing, there was a single cell left. If you can destroy everyone of Wolverines cells, he can not come back. There is nothing to heal.

[@Stolas002]

Have you covered how lightsabres actually make physical contact with other sabres? If it is only plasma, it should just pass through one another. What I think is the lightsabre's 'blade' actually has some kind of solid core and is surrounded by a layer of plasma. Please correct me if I'm wrong... I don't know too much about Star Wars or Physics.

[@thalastianjorus]

The repulsion of the magnetic fields that contain the plasma. They bounce off the strong fields as opposed to the plasma itself. Same reason that Electro-Staves and weapons can deflect Lightsabers. It's generated magnetic field, caused by electrifying the weapon, pushes against the magnetic field of the lightsaber with the effective solidity of a wall. This is actually how the Darksaber draws other Lightsabers to it. It's magnetic field lines is a flattened out oval shaped field, as opposed to the helical structure of the field of a regular Lightsaber - which makes the poles of that field uniform across all Lightsabers so it contains plasma. The Darksaber, however, has simply circular field lines, and as thin as it is the opposite pole can actually effect an opposing saber. Thus it "draws" other Lightsabers to itself like a, well, magnet.

[@AdolphoPaiva]

Funny to read the comments from people that don't understand that things such as SW:Extended Universe or Wolverine's claws being able to withstand comic energies are all fan services: 1. Adamantium can be heat twice, because otherwise, it isn't metal; 2. Wolverine isn't Deadpool, he is not immortal. 3. Jedis can't move stars nor create a supernova, that's ridiculous. If it didn't happen in the movies, then it isn't true.

[@ryanmmax]

You forgot a key factor, Thermal conductivity. If animatium has an extremely high thermal conductivity the light sabers heat would have to effectively heat wolverine’s entire skeleton and significantly increase the mass in your equation. Although in this case before wolverines skeleton melted his body would boil and he would explode!

[@Iliadic]

MORE LIGHTSABER EPISODES PLEASE!!

[@code_renard]

It would be cool if adamantium had the property of cortosis being able to repel lightsabers. Or lightsaber wolverine-like claws.
