Deadpoolhas just added another weapon to the ever-growing list of items that challenge adamantium’s legendary durability. Long considered Marvel’s ultimate indestructible metal, wielded by characters like Wolverine, adamantium’s reputation has taken several hits in recent years. Now, Deadpool’s new sword delivers yet another blow, proving that this once-unbreakable substance isn’t as invincible as it seems.
Deadpool #13reveals that Wade Wilson now has the means to take down the mighty metal’s seemingly invincible reputation. Written by Alyssa Wong and illustrated by Martin Coccolo,Deadpool #13introduces him to a bladecapable of slicing through adamantium.
This adds yet another weapon to the list of those capable of cutting the iconic alloy,bringing into question the legendary metal’s status as one of the most indestructible materials in the Marvel universe.As the anti-adamantium arsenal grows, the strength of its significance is slowly chipping away.
The Weapons That Can Shatter Adamantium’s Invincibility
From the Muramasa Blade to Deadpool’s New Sword
Throughout Marvel history,several rare substances and weapons have been shown to pierce this supposedly indestructible metal. Among the most well-known is the Muramasa Blade, a cursed weapon forged with the sole purpose of defeating the seemingly invincible. This blade is notorious for its ability to hurt even the most durable beings, like Wolverine.Alongside it is the Ebony Blade, one of Marvel’s most powerful swords. The dark blade has repeatedly demonstrated the ability to cut through adamantium easily.
As impervious as adamantium may seem, it offers no protection against magic. Throughout Marvel history, magical weapons have shown the ability to bypass the metal’s supposed invulnerability. For example, the Soulsword, though incapable of cutting through adamantium, isimmune to Wolverine’s adamantium claws, thanks to its magical properties.This vulnerability to magic has long been a weakness for adamantium. Wade’s new enchanted hardware adds another weapon to this exclusive list of items that challenge adamantium’s durability.
Moreover, Antarctic Vibranium, also known as Anti-Metal, is another dangerous substance capable of breaking down adamantium. This rare form of Vibranium has the unique ability to liquefy metals on contact, making it a considerable threat to Wolverine’s claws. There’s also Mysterium, a mysterious substance from the cosmos that has been shown to destroy adamantium entirely. These rare materials and powerful bladesare just a few examples of the increasingly frequent exceptions to adamantium invincibility.
Deadpool’s New Weapon Changes the Game Against Wolverine
The Harpe Sword Proves Adamantium Isn’t as Indestructible as It Seems

After recovering from a near-death experience, Deadpool’s search leads him to the sword, which he immediately uses to test its capabilities.The sword can cut through Solem’s adamantium skin,meaning it can just as easily do the same to Wolverine’s claws.The Harpe gives Deadpool a major edge over Wolverine in future encounters, allowing him to combat the unyielding nature of the indestructible mutant.

The magic-infused sword is a major step up for Deadpool in terms of combat against Wolverine. While magic has always been a vulnerability for adamantium, it’s something new to Wade’s arsenal. Slicing through adamantium stands to even the odds whenever Logan andWade lose their heads in future conflicts. With this new weapon, Deadpool can overpower Wolverine’s adamantium armor, leading to quicker and more definitive conflict resolutions. This is not only a dynamic shift for Wade and Logan,but for the rare alloy’s place in the Marvel universe.
Adamantium’s Unbreakable Status Is Crumbling
Deadpool’s New Sword Proves Marvel’s Strongest Metal Isn’t So Invincible
With Deadpool’s magic-infused blade now in the picture,the reputation of adamantiumas Marvel’s most indestructible metal is starting to look a little shaky. The list of weapons and substances that can now pierce, melt, or destroy adamantium is steadily growing, with the Harp adding to the trend.Wolverine’s iconic claws are no longer the formidable force they once were, and this shift opens up new possibilities for future storylines. While adamantium remains a formidable material, its status as an unbreakable metal seems to be broken.
As more weapons and materials continue to challenge adamantium’s supposed invulnerability, it seems only a matter of time before its once-legendary status becomes a thing of the past. Deadpool’snew toy has added another crack in the foundation, making it harder for adamantium to maintain its place as the ultimate unbreakable material. WhileDeadpool’ssword may not be the end of adamantium’s legacy, it’s clear that adamantium’s reputation is now more fragile than ever.
