Unobtainium: What Is The Strongest Metal?

"The most versatile metal in the world, and they used it to make a frisbee." -Ultron

There are plenty of universes out there, and these days it seems like everything is "indestructible". Vibranium, adamantium, Mandalorian iron- it can be stronger than steel and lighter than a feather, but can anything really be unbreakable? We're about to find out.

But why shield yourself with metal when you can dodge?

It looks like some explanation is long overdue!

1. Yes. I know Wonder Woman's bracelets have broken in a few New 52 stories. They are not made of amazonium in that continuity.

2. No. Captain America's shield is not made of pure vibranium. It is a
vibranium-steel alloy, called proto-adamantium, and it later became the
basis for creating primary adamantium (the metal around wolverine's
skeleton). In the Marvel movies, the shield _is_ made out of pure
vibranium, but that is because Fox owns the rights to using adamantium
in film. As a result, they had to change the origin story a little bit
for the Captain America movie.

3. The reason the last five metals were ranked above supermanium is because
Superman was capable of forging supermanium. Conversely, no mortal
being is capable of forging adamantium, adamantine, uru, proto
adamantium, or amazonium. Admantine was forged with divine magic. Uru
was forged via extreme methods that caused a star to supernova before
being made even _more_ durable by divine magic. Adamantium and proto
adamantium were both mixed together out of different metals that could
not be reshaped once cooled. And amazonium was forged by Hephaestus, the
Greek god of forging, who used a divine method that actually made the
resulting metal _stronger_ than its previous incarnation. Even he cannot
reforge it now.

I apologize for any confusion this video may have generated because of my failure to cover these points, but I have some self-imposed restrictions on my video length right now, and I just could not cover everything. I hope this small addendum can clear up any misunderstandings.

Hulk can break planets but not his pants so if his pants were metal it would be on this list

[destinyparks]

i like how he brushed over how the creation of thors hammer killed the dinosaurs

[jujuria]

no one's going to add Hulk's pants to the list?

[Phoenix-ikbm]

The strongest metal is called plot armor!

I like how you mix comic books, science, and a dash of humor in a very orderly fashion.

How “Phrik” was thought of:

*George Lucas stubs his toe*
“o h *p h r i k*”

[just_jakey]

Him: cap's sheild is unbreakable

Thanos: im bout to end this man's whole career

[HackerBOB-fzwb]

But we all know that the true strongest metal is Steve's diamond armour

[ironjide]

Hulk's pants are real Unobtainium.

emperor palpatine: **cuts himself with lightsaber**
also emperor palpatine: AW PHRICK!

[gabechappo]

What about Aquaman's trident? I don't think that has ever been broken and even Superman has admitted he wouldn't be able to break it

Don’t mind me, I’m just binging his videos over and over again till he posts again.

Just stumbled upon this channel. Feels like finding a gold mine. Your videos are amazing. Especially loved the Flash one because he's one of my favorite superheroes. Very well structured and entertaining. Keep it up, you've earned another subscriber!

Fun and very interesting ^^ Its nice to finally find a comics lover who don't argue about "who's the best" and just enjoy the whole "geek" universe. Keep going but more importantly keep having fun making those videos =)
