is this type of metal real? i work at a metal shop and one of the guys was gragging about this metal. he was saying how light it was and almost near undestructable it was. i couldnt find anything on it. any info would be great. i did find that a lot of comic book heroes use this metal, so i am starting to think it’s fake.
It’s fake. In the comic book movie “X-Men” and “X-Men II” the hero Wolverine’s claws are made of the stuff, an indestructible steel alloy.
IIRC, Captain America’s shield is made out of an adamantium-vibranium compound. What Master Wang-Ka said. It’s a fictional metal.
