In Marvel Zombies, after Wolverine rips the skin off his arm by hitting the Surfer, he cuts his bad arm off. It doesn't cut clean, it just sort of crumbles away. So it's possible the Marvel Zombie virus destablizes adamantium to the point where it could possibly be broken.

So it's possible the Marvel Zombie virus destablizes adamantium to the point where it could possibly be broken. Wolverines Adamantium is not True Adamantium, the process it undergoes to bond with bone without inhibiting the bodies normal function weakens it somewhat, as well as possibly opening it up to infection as you say. So it is certainly possible.

Looking at Marvel Zombies again there is no effect on the Adamantium from the virus. Wolverines arm falls away, but the bones are intact. The flesh, muscles, and tendons holding them together are gone so the bones will not stay in place, but they are not weakened or destroyed.
One thing to remember when it comes to Wolverine is that the bones may be indestructible, but the body holding them together is not. His head could be cut off if you could get a blade between the vertebrae, he could be ripped in half like in the Ultimate series, and if his flesh were burned off the bones could fall out of place. Look at Wolverine in the Age of Apocalypse. He was missing one hand because Cyclops had managed to blast him right where the joint was.

Cap's shield was broken in the battle w/ Doom I believe, once Vic had usurped the Beyonder's powers.
And I hope that Wolverine story didn't happen as it sounds friggin stupid, but I'm sure it prolly did.

Didn't Wolverine reanimate from one drop of blood once? I don't remember the story arc but if this did indeed happened, then something had to wipe him out almost completly he did indeed, but not without help. the story was that the Xmen where looking for this large gem that granted God like powers, on the way all but Wolverine got lost on the way. When Wolverine reached the gem, some villain got the best of him and tore out his heart killing him. However a splash of his blood hit the gem and it multiplied his healing power millions of times over and he grew a new body. He used his God powers to kill the villain and thought about changing the Universe for the better but thought of the old saying about absolute power corrupting so he used his powers to give himself back his old adamantium body and then smashed the gem with his claws.

Cheers, been trying to remember since posting Getting confused with Doom with Beyonder power and without mask looking similar to Beyonder in Secret wars 2 when he came to earth. Memory is not what it used to be

The Hulk tore Wolverine in half in Ultimate Wolverine vs Hulk. Didn't The Hulk Destroy Ultron in Secret Wars? bit of revenge for Ultron "breaking" one of the Hulks legs with one of his blasts (never could figure that one out, the Hulk could carry extreme weights and put unlimited pressure on his legs but "breaks" it from a blast"?) I'm sure Captain Americas Sheild also got broken in Secret Wars, cant remember how, maybe the Beyonder? Caps shield was broken, but it is not made of Adamantium. It was created through a secret process that has never been repeated. One of the attempts of recreate it was what led to the development of Adamantium. Correct. There's basically five metals that comprise the Adamantium/Vibranium spectrum: True Adamantium, Secondary Adamantium (basically an alloy utilizing only a partial amount of it), Wakandan Vibranium and Antarctic Vibranium. The fifth is, of course, whatever the hell comprises Cap's shield. Amazing that two of the most important parts of Cap's legacy, the shield and the Super-Soldier Serum, were both one-time flukes that were never duplicated.

I thought I'd read that Cap's shield was made of a composite of vibranium or whatever the fifth metal is and, for whatever reason, steel.

There was actually an "error" toward the end of the X-Cutioner's Song storyline from about 15 years ago (Madison, confirm this please). Cable, Bishop and Wolverine were fighting Apocalypse's Darkriders on the moon, and at one point a badly beaten Wolverine said his ribs were shattered. I remember the next month, a couple people wrote letters questioning how that was possible. The editors at the time just assumed it had something to do with the moon's atmosphere.

Dont forget the Adamantium that is bonded to Wolverines Skeleton. The process it undergoes to bond with bone and not impede normal bodily process makes it a new variety.

Deadpool can snap Wolvie's adamantium in half like THAT. Shoot, he'd have enough time to get back and have a couple frozen Chimichanga's before a Golden Girls marathon starts.

Uh, the lack of gravity allowed the adamantium to float off the bones, leaving them susceptible to damage?
