Could a light-saber cut Wolverines Adamantium claws?



Star Wars and Marvel crossovers have been debated and dreamed of for decades; from a Han vs Deadpool shootout to a Gungian against Skrull war - all fan boys and girls have thought up every combination. One that really caught my eye was the question 'Could a lightsaber cut through Wolverine's adamantium claws?' In this blog I will give my one of many answers to this question, with science, Marvel and Star Wars logic!

As you may know, adamantium is debatable as the strongest metal in the marvel universe, in front of vibranium and enchanted uru. It makes Logan's exoskeleton and Ultron's armour. It can easily cut through bones and other metals (even vibranium), however, every metal, even if fictional, has a melting point. Adamantium is created by a mixture of certain chemical resins, if the chemicals are mixed and kept at  1,500 degrees, the liquid formed is moulded into Wolverines exoskeleton. This indicates that the melting point of adamantium is 1,500 degrees. So in theory, a super-villain could heat Wolverine to this temperature, and although Logan can self-heal tissue, he cannot repair his broken mecca-bones, therefore destroying it. The question is, however, could this be done with a lightsaber.

A lightsaber is the elegant weapon of the Jedi and the Sith, structured from a kyber crystal contained and harnessed in a handle (of the force-users choice) to be used as a weapon. It comes in different colours depending on the force-users amount of hate, peace or balance that they transfer into the crystal when applying it to the saber. It has the reputation of being able to cut through almost anything. A scene with Qui Gon Jin cutting through a steel door, means it has its heat calculated. To burn through steel the temperature needs to be 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit therefore the lightsaber must function at at least this for that to have been possible. Therefore its heat it hot enough to melt adamantium but, is it enough to slice it in one clash or would it have to be held on the blade for longer? This can only be experimented by determining the approximate temperature of the plasma. If only one day it would be possible to conduct this experiment in this universe!

Thank you for reading, I hope you found it interesting! I think this is an interesting Star Wars and Marvel crossover  - hope you do too. Comment if you have anything to add to this blog or a future topic to write about! But for now, enjoy marvel whilst it lasts!!

In loving memory of Stan (the man) Lee. Even real-life superheroes die. 😢😢
