Wolverine lore changes forever with the introduction of GOLD ADAMANTIUM

Marvel just introduced a devastating new force to Wolverine Study, how New gold adamantium arrives to upgrade Logan’s enemies and attempt to seize control of his mind. Adamantium is an unbreakable metal in Marvel lore – one that was bonded to Wolverine’s bones and claws by the villain Weapon X and their experiments on mutants. Now, the metal that has become part of Wolverine’s body is once again making him a target.

in Wolverine #1 By Saladin Ahmed and Martín Cóccolo, Wolverine battles his old enemy Saber in the wilds of Canada. Logan brutalizes Saber, whose arms are coated in adamantium, and the clashes of their battle awaken a mysterious golden metal deep underground. An injured Saber later finds the golden metal while escaping from Wolverine and becomes possessed by it, with His adamantium is ‘infected’ and takes on a golden glow.

Fans also get to hear the new metal’s ‘thoughts’ through narration, where It decreases adamantium as a “False Metal” and reveals plans to cleanse it from the world. These ideas also imply what the new gold adamantium replacement actually is, confirming that “Once it was wild by the value.” If this tease means what it sounds like, Wolverine is facing a threat of godly proportions.

Logan’s old enemy Cyber ​​is patient zero in a mass invasion/infection

Despite its rarity, adamantium is a synthetic alloy that does not occur in the natural world. Completely unbreakable, it did one Weakness – the unique vibrations of Antarctic vibranium can destroy its molecular cohesion, which will dissolve it. Now, it seems that another vulnerability can be added to the list, vi The ancient metal awakened by Saber and Wolverine is able to transform existing adamantium into its own form. The new metal is teased as superior to adamantium, and its hype suggests it has some mystical properties.

This is bad news for Wolverine, as – thanks in part to Weapon X – a site Some of his enemies have some form of adamantium in their system. Saber is just the first individual to be possessed by the new Gold Adamantium, with Martín Cóccolo’s cover for Wolverine #4 Showing Wolverine battling a possessed constrictor, now wielding gold adamantium tentacles. What makes the new metal particularly dangerous is that it is unifying so many of the deadliest people alive, and it won’t be satisfied until Logan is either stripped of his adamantium or turned into another possessed drone in his army.

Why the new, natural, golden adamantium hates the synthetic version will be revealed in time, however The brief words of the metal this issue and golden color offer one compelling theory…

Is the New Gold Adamantium actually Adamantine?

Logan has a fascinating history with the godly metal

Marvel’s Adamantium takes its name from Adamantine – a mythical, indestructible metal wielded by the Greek gods. Indeed, in Marvel lore, the demi-god Hercules often uses an adamantine mace in battle. It makes sense that The ‘gold adamantium’ is actually an ancient deposit of adamantineWho awoke in the modern day only to find the gods replaced by missing supermen and his own legis stolen by an inferior imitator. Indeed, Adamantium’s creator Dr. Myron McClain was inspired by the legend of Adamantine in creating his original alloy, making Adamantium very much the usurper of Adamantine’s legendary status.

Longtime fans will remember that Wolverine has some history with the Golden Adamantine, though not the version of Logan from Earth-616. Introduced at Greg Pak and Mike McKone’s Astonishing X-Men #44Captain James Howlett is a Wolverine variant from a world with similarities to the early 1900s. Howlett is in a romantic relationship with the world’s Hercules, who gave Howlett his adamantine mass to tie to his skeleton. The Wolverine has similar powers to the original, but his adamantine gave him extra powers, including telepathic protection and being able to absorb Cyclops’ optic beams in his claws by slashing them from the air.

Unfortunately, it seems that mainstream Wolverine is about to develop a very different, much more antagonistic relationship with Adamantine, if the new ‘Golden Adamantium’ is indeed that mythic metal coming back to claim its right. However, whether the new gold adamantium is adamantine or not, Its mission is very clear – wipe adamantium from the face of the earth By replacing it wherever it appears and owning anyone connected to it in order to get the job done. That means that in the best case scenario, Wolverine is about to face a gauntlet of his most unbreakable enemies, and at worst, he’s about to become the living weapon of yet another unstoppable force of evil.
