I feel like Wolverine’s adamantium probably shouldn’t be ferrous, and if that’s the case he wouldn’t be magnetic, right?

Non-ferrous metals are still subjected to forces in the presence of changing magnetic fields through a combination of Lenz’s Law and the Lorentz Force.
It’s why when you drop a magnet through a copper pipe it falls slower than it would in open air.
Mongostein@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
His powers in the comics were explained that he controls magnetic fields or something.
I can’t remember the exact details, but for a while he and Rogue were able to have a physical relationship by projecting a thin magnetic field around himself, so he can pretty much do whatever. 🤷🏻♂️
I also can’t remember if that was 616 or an alternate universe.

Controlling magnetic fields he couldn’t physically move non ferrous metals, but he could sure cause a lot of energy to be dumped in due to induction. Essentially cooking wolverine, and then melting his adamantium into a pile instead of being bone/blade shaped

Yeah, I assumed that the master of magnetism would know a few tricks when it comes to laying pipe.

Magnetism technically has nothing to do with metals in general, only unpaired electrons. For example, Oxygen can be magnetic

Wait so air is stronger near a magnet ?

If he got one of those demagnetizing things and rubbed it all over his body … then he’d be able to fight Magneto.

Magneto controls all metals from what I understand, even stuff like gold.
MotoAsh@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Magnetic fields, which is part of electromagnetism. He can directly influence one of the fundamental forces of the universe. Magneto is definitely one of the strongest mutants.
If he’d learn to do things besides bend and move metal, he’d be able to do almost anything depending on how acutely strong of a field he could make. With how field lines snap in the sun and make for huge discharges of charged particles, I think Magneto would be able to do a lot even without making hugely powerful fields if he’d learn some science.

Oof ouch my bones
EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 8 months ago
minor correction! Wolverine’s bones are grafted with metal.
ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Meh. In one comic he mutates in a way that makes the adamantium a part of his DNA so it becomes a part of him and will regenerate.
kopasz7@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Just gotta make sure to drink enough adamantium milk for those bones.
ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Yup. In an old What If they have Wolverine’s skeleton turned into an indestructible killer robot.
FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 8 months ago
Except for Days of Future Past. Magneto had to fill him with rebar, first.
Deleted@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
That scene was fucking brutal how long did my guy live under the ocean
FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 8 months ago
There is a scene in the movie where they fish him out, I recall.
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 months ago
He should replace that adamantium with a non-magnetic metal.
RenegadeTwister@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Magneto can control non-magnetic metal too.
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 months ago
Well… Shit.
Madison420@lemmy.world 8 months ago
No he doesn’t, he controls ferrous metals ie. Magnetic ones. He can at great expense induce diamagnetics through means of ferrous magnetism.
Wirlocke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 months ago
I think he grows around his skeleton.
I’m pretty sure the wolverine is technically not immortal (depending on canon) however the Adamantine casing which is pretty indestructible means there’s always a piece of him to regenerate from.
CitizenKong@lemmy.world 8 months ago
In the comics, Magneto rips out his skeleton at one point. After which Xavier telepathically lobotomizes him. And yes, although Logan nearly dies, he grows a new skeleton including bone claws. His healing factor also goes into overdrive since it doesn’t have to fight against the toxic adamantium all the time. It makes him grow more feral too, until writers decided it got too stupid with Logan talking and acting like a caveman so he got the adamantium back.
GrymEdm@lemmy.world 8 months ago
The Ex-Men: Wolverine video is very applicable.
Maultasche@feddit.de 8 months ago
They do use that against Magneto to defeat him in X3

babyfarmer@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Gonna nerd out here for a second.
Magneto actually did pull Wolverine’s adamantium skeleton out once. And it was a massive heel turn after Magneto had been a “good guy” and worked with the X-Men for years.

Holy Christ, can we get some spoilers on what happens after? He couldn’t possibly have survived that… right?
Klear@lemmy.world 8 months ago
There’s only one substance more powerful than adamantium in Marvel comics: popularity-induced plot armour.
Gaspar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
He didn’t even die there, if you can believe it. Though he is catatonic and carried home by Jean Grey. This is one of the few comic books I actually had.
Immediately after this, Xavier gets pissed and completely mind-wipes Erik, something he promised he’d never do. This causes a part of his psyche to splinter off, eventually kidnap Franklin Richards, and merge with him to become Onslaught.
Then an amnesiac, de-aged Magneto shows up to help the X-Men fight Onslaught.
Comics are wild, man.
Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 8 months ago
The adimantium was actually poisoning him, and his healing factor was fighting it the whole time. So when he lost the metal he became ultra powerful and developed bone claws
Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 8 months ago
He survived having molten adamantium injected onto his bones. I’d guess that this wouldn’t be as bad as that was.
samus12345@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Fortunately for him, his adamantium skeleton is unrelated to his healing factor.
100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 8 months ago
Logan burned out his healing factor to survive that (he was fine in the end, though), Xavier retaliated by wiping Magneto’s mind but in doing so he created Onslaught, a sentient psionic entity created from the darker parts of their consciousness (Xavier and Magneto’s)
Scubus@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
As others mentioned, he definitely survived. But to add onto that, Deadpool got his healing factor from wolverine, and Deadpool’s whole shtick is that he’s virtually unkillable.
In order to kill either one of them, you have to kill every single one of their cells. For Deadpool at a certain point, even that won’t work, because that happened. He died, then fell in love with the personification of death. That pissed off someone real powerful who then cursed Deadpool with immortality so he can never see his beloved again.
VaultBoyNewVegas@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I’ve read comics where wolverine has been dismembered in half and still lives through it.
