Now, Antarctic Vibranium is often described as the "anti-metal" in that it can melt any metal. However, Iron Man's armor is definitely the strongest metal in the Marvel Universe, barring adamantium, Cap's shield, vibranium and maybe carbonadium. So how do you think it would fare against antarctic vibranium?

I don't know if there are any comic instances relating to this, but if there are, please post.

I'm not sure, but I don't think Tony's armor can take it. I mean he would likely dodge, defend himself with shields or something but I'm assuming you're talking about the armor's durability, if it could take it in case it was hit. And I don't think so. Tho it did tank nuclear explosions... Agh, I don't know how powerful this is, it's hard to say. Sorry i'm not much help haha

(Btw why did u put the "maybe" on carbonadium? i believe it's the weakest from the ones there haha)

I put the maybe as I wasn't sure whether or not carbonadium was stronger than Tony's armor.

And thanks for the answer!

No prob, and I think @noone301994 might be able to answer this

@blackspidey2099: @amazingfantasy: It'd definitely work on his armor, but if he has his shields up it wouldn't. Anti-metal destroys metal, not energy.

Here he drops an Iron Man armor with anti-metal in it on top of an Iron Man armor with adamantium mixed with other Iron Man metals.

However, here is a scan of Black Panther claiming that he has to disable Iron Man's shielding before his anti-metal claws can touch Tony:

@noone301994: Thanks! I didn't know how powerful anti-metal was so it was difficult to come with an answer. But I was right, then?

(And I can't believe I didn't even remember that first scan. It's from my favorite modern Iron Man run. :p)

Yeah, you were essentially right. Anti-metal or antarctic vibranium is capable of melting even adamantium.

And yeah, that's my favorite Iron Man run as well lol. They made Tony look like such a bada$$.

@noone301994: I see, thanks again.

And damn straight! lol

@noone301994 Thanks for the scans and the answer. I'm really surprised that it's so powerful. Wow!

Antarctic Vibranium would destroy Stark. He can use his Force Fields to protect himself but his armor itself can't defend against Anti-Metal except his 2th Stealth suir which isn't made of any metal at all.

@whoisthebest: yeah, so the carbon fibre suit that he used against Magneto would be immune to Antarctic vibranium. As for adamantium, wouldn't something like Wolverine's claws be able to slice right through an unprotected armor?

@whoisthebest: We are talking about antarctic vibranium. Not standard vibranium or adamantium. Antarctic vibranium works by attacking the molecular structure of any metal. Vibranium and adamantium could cut through his armor, but the metals on his suit are so durable that it wouldn't go very deep or far in:

This is an adamantine axe thrown by Namor. Adamantine is just like adamantium except godlier. It pierces his armor sure, but it doesn't go all the way through or hurt the man inside. In fact, Iron Man is even shrugging his shoulders in the second scan like it didn't even affect him.

If he had his force-fields up though, something like this would happen:

Also, antarctic vibranium only molecularly affects metal, so if his shields are up they won't work since that's energy.

@whoisthebest: Agreed.

@noone1996: Great job, my friend.

@g2_: Thanks man.

Antarctic vibranium vs Uru?

@whoisthebest: Do you have proof that it wasn't adamantine or are you just guessing like always? Ares carries an adamantine axe. He threw it at Namor who caught it and threw it at Iron Man.

Read the story.

How?

:)

@g2_: How what?

@ldm: @g2_:Antarctic Vibranium can destroy his Armor on Molecular Level but he can't affect Endo Sym Armor and Stealth Armor because those two armors are not made of metal. Also Iron-man's armor is covered in microscopic force field/energy shield and AV can't affect energy so in order for AV to work on Iron-man, his force field needs to be removed first.

@ldm: I just cut his sentence to emphasise.

@krleavenger: Oh, I didn't understand you correctly.

@g2_: What did you mean by "how"?

@krleavenger: How can Antarctic Vibranium would destroy Stark? But you already answered.

@g2_: Alright. And yeah, Antarctic Vibranium destroys any Metal minus Vibranium on molecular level, even Adamantium.

@krleavenger: I know (:

Antarctic Vibranium would only destroy Stark's ARMOR. If he had shields up this would happen:

Those gigawatt baryon beams was antarctic vibranium.
