Captain america's Shield is made of a Vibranium-Adamantium mix Which is why it's the strongest weapon there is.....but your right about omega red   See 10 other replies

Seriously? People are so narcissistic. Every white person notices all the white villains. Every bad guy is Russian?! Like 2. And Colossus isn't even what I would consider a bad guy. He was one of the most caring and noble X-Men ever. He was an Acolyte for a short time but that was mostly out of despair, not true belief in Magneto. He even refused to engage the X-Men when they assaulted Avalon. Omega Red is more a commentary on the cold war... Which also birthed the Weapon X program and S.H.I.E.L.D. Which are hardly good concepts.   See 6 other replies

ok uh first off omega red is supposesed to be covered in armor that is actually a metallic element created by the russians called carbonadium. they made it cause its much stronger than steel and a lot more malleable and cheaper than adamantium but is is not as durable as true adamantium and it is also very radioactive which is actually killin omega red which is why he must suck the lifeforce of people to survive. n e way yea so she can cut omega reds tentacles.And also i believe that the other metal in captain americas shield is vibranium-steel alloy accidentally madeand when they reverse engineered it they had created adamantium.and it is true that without adamantium wolverine can heal much quicker but when it was sucked out of him he went insane and than we had feral wolverine but thats another story all in all we all learn something new everyday.

Ah, I had my suspicions that X23 may have been added into the comics after this series. Thanks for being able to give a clear answer on that. You seem to be pretty well read on X-Men to have kept up with all the details of the various Weapon projects and timetravel, clone, cyborg tangents that brought about the various chictor oragins. I had a hard time following the majority of it myself. I knew Wolverine and Captain America had been intertwined but didn't realize Weapon X was a later part of the project that created Cap. Hmm..not sure about the idea of X23 being able to cut the tentacle...it would be tough but I think with her haveing pure adamantium (second only to dagernite(sp?)) and his adamantium being a blend perhaps it could be possible, although it is a streatch.....but then Caps shield is also a blend and Wolverine has been shown as being unable to cut it..maybe it just means the other eliment in the shield is also nearly as tough as adamantium. Being as you seem to know a good deal about the topic would you happen to know what the comic storyline says Captain Americas shield has in it besides adamantium and where the eliment came from? How abput the dagernite, whioch is supposed to be able to pierce adamantium..was it used only for that one page in Guardians of the Galaxy as a cheep plot device to damage the adamantium suit?As for Wolverine being weakened by the adamantium in his bones they have done a storyline where he had the adamantium ripped out and afterwards was able to heal even quicker and for some strange reason grw to Hulkish preportions. I found a reference on Wikkipedia that claims it is due to unstable eliments in adamantium that are in fact poisonous and thereffore prolonged exposure has requitred Wolverine to constantly heal this damage.   See 10 other replies

(Con't from above)
Reuben is right about many "Weapons," Wolverine being the tenth and Captain America being the first. Cable was def not one of them though; he is the son of Cyclops and a clone of Jean Grey (I know, it's weird) from the future. He's probably thinking of Cyber, who has the lined metal arms (I like to call them Colossus arms). Cable's metal arm (and eye) are from a virus that Apocalypse inflicted him with as a baby. Cyber's metal arms are adamantium cybernetics (like Lady Deathstrike, but for strength instead of stabbing). Omega Red is an agent of the Communist Russian version of the "Weapon" program. During the cold war, the Ruskies learned about the program and thought that the West was going to use them against them (and, in fact, they had already started to). I don't know as much about him, but I think he was a mutant who could drain people's life force and the Russians gave him enhanced durability and strength as well as adamantium-carbon blend (like adamantium, but more flexible, which is why it's dumb that X-23 cuts them in this episode) tentacle things (which he can use his power through).I'm not sure if Robert is 100% right either. I've read many places that Wolverine "hardly" feels pain at all, metal bones or not--but it's just not very dramatic to actually let him feel no pain (or maybe he just always yells in pain to trick his foe into thinking he's weak ;)). I've never heard of him needing 80% of his healing factor to contain his adamantium either. In fact, in one story line, Wolverine was able to regrow his body after literally burning alive by piloting a space ship too close to the sun--this was when he had his adamantium.

Whew, well, I've geeked out enough for tonight. Hope that helped someone out there.
