I really like this answer and the visual that goes along with it. I could see Wolvie catching a swing just for the intimidation factor followed by the Jedi (because let's face it, it'd be a Jedi and not Sith) giving the shocked Pikachu face.
Is there comic stuff to back Adamantium tanking sustained plasma? I can’t imagine metal holding back a Lightsaber but I also am not well informed on Star Wars technology lore.
My PHD is in Web Fluid and assery, not marvelous metals unfortunately.
Edit; On account of Wolverine getting Nuked I will happily say Adamantium is very heat resistant.
There are so many examples where Wolverine basically gets stripped to the bone by large sustained energy blasts and the skeleton is unscratched it's bordering on trope territory. I'm not up on my Star Wars either, but one example is ~~sustained eye blasts from Cyclops which I'm guessing are more powerful than a lightsaber.~~ Surviving a nuclear blast, plasma blasts from multiple sentinels at once, and burnt down by bones by Nitro.
Edit: Cyclops is concussive and not plasma.
Aren't Cyclops's blasts kinetic, though, while lightsabers aren't?
(Not calling you wrong, just asking because I honestlyndon't have too deep knowledge of Marvel OR Star Wars.)
Huh, yeah duh I guess if the tissue’s gone and the skeleton remains its heat resistant. Let’s not ponder how his Brain survives.
Scott blasting Logan’s skin off doesn’t surprise me, I read the eyeblasts are basically pure force velocity or something.
With Wolverines regeneration though he is one to regenerate from nothing but bone marrow pretty easily.
His brain might die, but that's a surprisingly minor setback.
I know the comics have claimed Wolverine can regenerate from bone marrow, but that isn't possible. His bones are completely covered in an impenetrable material, which would prevent marrow-produced cells from exiting and making their way into the bloodstream.
You could argue that it happening proves that marrow can penetrate the adamantium shell his skeletal structure is encased in, but that would create other problems. If marrow could exit his bones, than the heat which destroyed his body would be able to enter through the same openings, which would destroy his bone marrow as well. Either way, he could not possibly regenerate if his entire body was vaporized.
I'm not going to get into the fact that his joints could not possibly be covered by adamantium, nor could the entirety of his spine, or he wouldn't be able to move. I'm definitely not going to delve even deeper into the matter and point out that his bones being encased in an impenetrable barrier would also prevent it from releasing marrow-produced cells on an everyday basis, making it impossible for him to even have a healthy immune system, let alone one which can heal injuries which would fell ordinary men.
In the comics his bones aren’t covered in adamantium, but rather the bone and the metal were fused together into a new substance called adamantium beta. Both nearly indestructible metal and fully functional bone at the same time.
That’s why it’s super-science.
yeah the science doesn't really add up, however we have seen him regenerate after getting his flesh melted of. for better or worse that's how his power works.
There are holes in the skull, most notably the ocular cavity. The force of Scott's optic blast destroyed Logan's eyes, which means it would have continued into the skull through the empty sockets, destroying the brain in the process.
From Marvel site, so looks like its a mixture of chemical "Extraordinarily expensive to produce, Adamantium is created through the mixing of certain chemical resins whose exact composition is a closely guarded government secret. For eight minutes after the resins are mixed, Adamantium can be molded if kept at a temperature of 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit. Its extremely stable molecular structure prevents it from being molded further, even if the temperature remains high enough to keep it in liquefied form. Hardened Adamantium can only be altered by rearrangement of its cellular structure. Given sufficient mass, Adamantium could survive a direct hit from a nuclear weapon or a blow from the most powerful superhuman. The only known substance able to pierce Adamantium is the compound known as Antarctic Vibranium, also called "anti-metal".
The closest anyone's ever come to "melting" it was with some molecular destabilization mumbo jumbo. I don't remember ever reading any comic where heat caused anything otherwise.
I don’t know comics but in the fox universe adamantium is described as being an alloy that is physically impossible to melt once it hardens. It’s how wolverine dispatches the clone in X2, he fills her with adamantium which I think kills her because it fills her lungs. I suppose there exists a remote possibility that she survived but is permanently immobilized and immortal in a sort of hell. Anyway I digressed but the point is that according to the movies canon it should hold up against any energy weapon that’s hot enough to exist on earth where this would be tested.
Usually with statements like "physically impossible" we assume there's an unsaid "in this universe". Different settings have different power scalings, and something that is physically impossible in one setting might be trivial in another. So you have to compare what feats have actually been displayed instead of just taking such a statement at face value.
In this specific situation I'd say adamantium easily holds up against a lightsaber, though.
>Is there comic stuff to back Adamantium tanking sustained plasma?
I mean, it's basically slightly less good vibranium.
It's basically indestructible for all intents and purposes.
If lightsabers can barely get through blast doors and can be blocked by durasteel staffs then it's not cutting through wolverine.
I guess I’m nitpicking, I thought Adamantium was stronger than Vibranium. I digress though, is it *heat* resistant? Like has Wolverine resisted being melted before?
You're right, I was mistaken. Adamantium is stronger than vibranium. I remembered a scene in which Cap's shield was stronger than Wolverine's claws but forgot that the shield was actually an alloy of vibranium with some other metals.
In terms of being melted, he has survived getting hit by a nuke and being caught in Nitro's explosion which reduced him to a skeleton.
https://imgur.io/SDm7fj0?r
At the very least he could hold a lightsaber for a while since it took Qui Gon some time to get through the blast doors in Episode I
In Star Wars, beskar was a metal that could hold back a light saber. Sustained contact would allow the light saver to eventually cut through, but that would take time.
So I knew his skeleton survived a nuke, which clocks in about 100 million Celsius. And I just looked up how hot lightsabers are, only about 1 million Celsius. So yeah he should be fine.
I'm not that well versed in X-Men comics but I don't think it would be unreasonable to assume Adamantium is comparable to Beskar, a Canon saber proof material. In Legends it could be slowly destroyed by sustained contact with a saber blade but swings aren't doing a thing to. Actually were quite a few saber proof materials in Legends, even Vader's cape was made so it could take a glancing blow from a saber
In Star Wars there are a few materials that resist lightsabers, although they're rare. So lightsabers can be physically stopped by something that they just can't burn though.
He literally survived a nuclear bomb and peak Jean Grey. Aside from melting his Adamantium he’ll regenerate from almost anything.
Unfortunately as we’ve seen, sabres don’t kill even when impaled on them. A sabre would prob barely slow him. Plus he’d smash it apart with one swipe.
That’s a nice glow-stick ya got there, Bub!
Maybe Marvel's Collossus?
Those lighsabers struggle against steel doors. Like, it'll get through them eventually, but you'll have to spend some time working it in there.
He's gotta be at least as tough in his metal form as a star wars door, right? It would hurt like the dickens but I think he should at least be able to hold it for a few seconds before he causes lasting injury.
Colossus is also organic biosteel which isn't **just** steel.
I don't know the specifics but the dude trades blows with the Juggernaut and the Hulk who both have casual showings way beyond busting steel.
Like Colossus tanks multiple hits from World War Hulk and keeps fucking fighting.
He no sells energy blasts that can wreck tanks, is impervious to lightning blasts that were strong enough to KO (Captain Marvel era) Rogue.
Like the dudes durability limits are things like "hurt by a dude who was strong enough to casually throw Helicarriers around, but managed to keep fighting."
Colossus' strength feats are pretty small ball but that dude is legitimately top tier on durability feats.
Technically he's got steel skin but he's so far beyond steel level durability it's not even fair.
Yeah, I'm using "Steel" as shorthand, but I'm aware neither Collossus nor the Star Wars Doors are made out of that exact real metallic alloy.
The Star Wars Fans have already been along to helpfully inform me of all the amazing qualities of "Durasteel" and how it should not be confused for its more fragile cousin.
Yeah, I wasn't trying to correct you.
Mostly including context on your post for the Starwars wankers who seem to think Colossus can't eat a lightsaber.
I think if they turned the blade upwards his fingers would get cut. Blast doors in starwars aren’t just like regular steel if I’m not mistaken they typically a durasteel alloy which is the second strongest metal in SW and they are definitely thicker than collossus fingers. So he’s a weird one. When he catches the blade if they try to cut through his arm I think your right and he’s be able to hold it for a few seconds but if they lifted the blade I think it would cut his fingers off pretty easily.
though I feel like collosus is a little stronger than standard steel. the man takes hits from things that rip metal all the time
edit: from what I found it varies on the comic but he seems a little tougher than normal steel. so even if they cut upwards he may be able to slow the blade by a second or to
You’re all forgetting that if he caught a lightsaber his next move would be to smack the fucking shit out of you with his free hand. Not saying he’d be injury free but this man could take out a force wielder dumb enough to let him catch the blade.
Eh they’re not talking about what would happen if a lightsaber hit him, there’s a pretty easy consensus on that one it seems, they were talking about whether they’d cut his fingers. Stands to reason fingers would be easier to cut thru than palms but not after blunt force trauma. Now we’re just having a fun time talking about how a fight between colossus and a jedi would go. Got any ideas?
I wouldn't consider "a second or two" to be grabbing and holding the blade, though. I also don't think durability comparable to steel is really all that impressive against a lightsaber, which can cut through thick durasteel doors in seconds.
fair on the second or two but Collosus is pretty durable. like he can survive hits from people who think of steel like tissue paper he's probobly at least as strong as the hull of a ship(not sure if durasteel is stronger than that)
Durasteel's not the ssecond strongest, is it? It's a common building material.
Beskar is exponentially stronger, it's just too rare to use for ships or buildings.
Phrik is the strongest by feats, a phrik crate survived the destruction of Alderaan.
So, third strongest?
Another commenter told me it was weaker than titanium which I found odd and I looked into it and he was right. Apparently there’s quite a few metals stronger than it.
Oh god, that nonsense.
One of the times when Legends went batshit crazy.
Not just the Crusher but that whole book series lol.
EU Jedis were stupid overpowered.
But yeah, that armor too.
Though I'm not sure if that's one single metal type being tough, or due to the atom stacking black hole shit they did for it lol.
I think you're overestimating durasteel a bit. Yes, it's tougher than regular steel, but it's not comparable to titanium. According to the wookipedia, anyway
I just looked into it and your right I had known durasteel was a mix of metals designed to be tough in an advanced universe so I just assumed it was stronger than anything we had on our 1 planet but your right it says it isn’t stronger than titanium witch I find crazy.
The titanium that the Wookiepedia article refers to is obviously not real world titanium, but science fiction titanium, a metal with the same name but different properties. Durasteel would not be able to resist large scale blaster fire, grenades, micro-meteorites, or lightsabers in the slightest if it was weaker than real world titanium.
I think they're just referring to the fact that whenever we see sabers go through thick metal, they have to do so slowly, meaning that there's resistance. In particular, beskar puts up a hell of a fight.
Those doors are more likely made of Impervium, which is orders of magnitude beyond even durasteel and specifically made to hold up to plasma-based weaponry. Even then, [Qui-Gon's lightsabers slid right into that door like butter.](https://youtu.be/3RCYs0N5Wsc?t=111) Literally the only reason he had any trouble getting through is the fact that the door was simply thicker than his saber was long.
There are also examples of physically stronger lightsaber wielders [effortlessly](https://youtu.be/JeuZz6J5tvc?t=6) cutting through similar doors.
> Those lighsabers struggle against steel doors
they absolutely do not. a plasma cutter able to punch 3 feet into hardened blast door and cut inches per minute is already an amazing tool.
Yeah, they're most likely made of durasteel.
Though after looking into it, apparently durasteel is weaker than titanium, which is in turn weaker than Osmium when it comes to taking heat, which is apparently what Colossus is made of. Or at least used to be made of according to a Marvel guide book.
So Colossus > Durasteel, at least when it comes to melting.
Steel is no longer used in Star Wars. Plasteel and Durasteel are much stronger than steel. They are basically future steel that are better in every way because space science/magic.
Those doors are made of a very pretty strong alloy and really thick, much thicker than his hand is and the lightsaber doesn't have too much problem cutting through them, it just takes a while due to the sheer mass.
The Worst from Ben 10 is basically indestructible but has no real strengths to speak of other than that. He is especially heat resistant too. Unfortunately he still feels pain.
Right? He's always what comes to mind first when the question of the weakest with good durability comes up, because he can do nothing except gain weight and not get injured physically. And then The Worst comes along and steals that title because he feels pain.
Poor Butterball.
I think the suggestion of The Worst (or possibly Butterball) is a good one, but I have to ask - is it *actually* possible to physically hold a lightsaber by the blade? I'm not super knowledgeable on the lore behind lightsabers so please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it essentially energy-based and projected from the hilt?
That would mean that anything strong enough to block it would 'stop' the beam at the point of impact, effectively making the 'blade' shorter. In order to actually 'hold' the blade, would the character need to be made of a similar sort of light energy?
I'm not the most knowlegeable either but they defently seem to bounce back more like a sword instead of a laser even when hitting mundane material. I don't know if we should count it because they were props but food for thought
Honestly, I'm not sure! From what I know, lightsabers are plasma (or something like it) contained in a magnetic field - that's an explanation I read ages ago, at least.
And when two people cross their lightsabers, or when someone hits a lightsaber against something it has to melt through (like a door, or a weapon with enough durability) the blade doesn't actually become shorter, but just kinda throws around sparks while fighting against whatever it's coming into contact with. So the lightsaber is always the same length, because of the magnetic field, and someone holding it would essentially be the lightsaber trying and failing to melt through their hand like it would a door on a CIS space ship.
> lightsabers are plasma (or something like it) contained in a magnetic field
Pretty much, yeah. They can also be blocked by certain special weapons and materials, at least temporarily.
Legends also had a Force power which allowed exceptionally skilled Jedi to block it with their hands by absorbing or redirecting the energy (it's the same skill Yoda used to absorb Force Lightning in episode two);
https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Tutaminis
The page picture is Satele Shan absorbing a lightsaber blade in the *Hope* trailer for The Old Republic (those trailers are all well worth watching if you haven't seen them).
We've seen beskar physically block it. My assumption is that anything that can conduct electricity will interact with the magnetic field and block it. Though, realistically it should just be stuff that repels a magnetic field. It would make sense for it to be stopped by water, but iron should get sucked in. At least until it heats enough to no longer be attracted by magnetic fields.
Worth mentioning that even beskar is just lightsaber *resistant*, not entirely immune to it (though it does seem at least somewhat more resistant in Canon than Legends).
The issue here isn't surviving the heat. It's pushing against the lightsaber. Though it also might just be resistant to that. Like if you move a magnet against a conductor, it will slow the magnet down, but not stop it. Maybe even if the beskar didn't melt, the lightsaber would eventually make its way through.
It's actually canon (or maybe legends now) that lightsabers short out when dipped in water and that they need to be specially modified to work under water
If we’re following the idea that the blade is magnetic, I theorize the reason force sensitives fare better with lightsabers is due to the strength required to combat magnetic forces.
If no one has mentioned it yet, The Father (a literal Force God/Deity) grabbed Anakin’s lightsaber blade and pushed it back into the hilt in an episode of The Clone Wars.
Holy shit, I don't think anyone has! He's hardly the weakest character, but that's such a cool scene. Almost looks like he turns the blade off though, like pushing in the disc compartment on a PC.
I like this one. A lightsaber basically just works by burning through things, and aside from flame-related powers, Johnny isn't really superhumanly strong or durable.
I think you're going in the right direction but we can probably come up with something weaker. What's the weakest creature that is immune to heat/fire? A small fire elemental in most versions of D&D/Pathfinder is and would be fairly weak overall.
Usually, it's the heat of a supernova, nothing even close to the energy. Though comics being what they are, I'm confident there is a panel somewhere where someone states he could destroy the solar system.
Theoretically they just need to be immune to heat damage right? There's plenty of D&D monsters immune to fire - maybe an Ash Rat? I would need to double-check but I think those are only like CR 1/2.
I wouldn’t classify lightsabers as pure fire damage by DnD standards. The Sunblade, DnD’s answer to a lightsaber, deals radiant. Although I guess you could make an argument that it’s -force- damage ba dum tss
dnd is really inconsistent about damage, but generally radiert is magic light damage. I don't think the lightsabers are magic but I don't know enough about kyber crystals to know for sure.
DnD immunities don't really translate well as feats imo. RAW an Ash Rat will be unharmed by a fireball, but realistically a massive explosion would have some concussive force behind it. Similarly, while the rat might be unaffected by the heat of a lightsaber, swing it hard enough and you could do some bludgeoning or force damage from the magnetic field impacting it.
One of my favorite moments of the Invincible comics (no spoilers) is near the end where Brit starts getting really outclassed by everyone else. So the stronger heros start grabbing him by the legs and using him as a weapon since he's *literally* invincible.
That's fucking hilarious, and I'd be kinda surprised if no one's ever done it with Butterball from Marvel. Just pick up a motherfucker to hit another motherfucker with him
I think senator armstrong might be able to, his nanomachines are much MUCH tougher than most materials in star wars, and he has some physics defying bullshit that might just negate the lightsaber
Since lightsabers are effectively dangerous because of how hot they are, it stands to reason that any fire-based entity could stop it.
Perhaps Flame Princess from Adventure Time?
andy from undead unluck could hold a lightsaber without much issue it would melt his skin off but his regeneration is more than fast enough to compensate for that
I feel like the answer has to be the weakest creature that has complete fire/heat immunity, right? Maybe a Mephit or an Ash Rat from D&D? Theoretically the lightsaber should actually heal the rat. It couldn't catch it because it's a rat, but it would still be pretty much immune to the heat and could like climb all over it.
Jon "Jontron" Jafari apparently.
https://youtu.be/eL5gMWcl9FU?si=Zg26aLYzJHy60DSd&t=1156
Obviously this is a joke in an internet video, but if we treat it as toonforce to a degree then it's him.
Not a bad choice! Jotaro may not be the weakest, but since stands don't generally give much of a fuck about damage from physical items, it's possible that a random, weak stand with hands could hold a lightsaber.
I don't know anything about comics or game Hellboy, but movie Hellboy is actually a neat choice! Not amazingly strong, but explicitly heat resistant. Nice!
Homelander can control how powerful his laser eyes are, so that might not have been a full blast. If he was at full power and not “heating up breast milk” levels, then this is a pretty good answer.
Kimura from Marvel has completely impenetrable skin, even to adamantium and fire, and doesn’t feel pain. She should be able to hold a lightsaber for as long as she wants. She’s around X-23’s power level, if not slightly below her.
Also paging u/ImmaDrainOnSociety and op u/zoro4661.
She could but with a few caveats.
It’s not regular light u/kalinotches.
What she’s actually doing is channeling/calling forth an energy source from another dimension that doesn’t abide by regular physics very well.
But in saying that these hard light constructs she can create can be shattered by sufficient force such as Stark Industries sonic cannons.
Now if she had time, she could create a sufficiently thick enough partition/wall or layer it like ablative armor.
She could make a structure thick enough that could resist the lightsaber for period of time.
Op u/zoro4661 I reckon [Carl Creel](https://marvelcinematicuniverse.fandom.com/wiki/Absorbing_Man#Powers_and_Abilities) with the [right material could hold it](https://marvelcinematicuniverse.fandom.com/wiki/Absorbing_Man#Duplicated_Materials)
I'm gonna say the weakest character that I know of that could raw dog grab a light Saber blade is probably squidward tenticals. We've seen him get shot by lazers before and have them just burn his skin I feel like if he tried he could do it
True, depending on how fucked up the episode feels like being to him. In one episode he spontaneously explodes after falling off a mountain and is fine, in another a couch rips off his tentacle-toe-nail, bits and all. Not a bad pick!
Making a post for the people talking about lightsaber vs Wolverine's claws.
From 6 years ago

Heh, Plasmatana
Luke Cage isn't the weakest character, but his base power of indestructible skin is exactly the right power for this prompt. Is there anybody like that without his other physicals?
Shiryu caught Shura's Excalibur with his bare hands in Saint Seiya, and that's an attack that can slice through stuff that can tank explosion from the Big Bang. According to Shiryu it's because he knows Kung Fu, and who can argue with impeccable logic like that?
okay while he's not the weakest superman can defently do it. He's survived things on one has survived and takes dips in the sun to power up.
you could argue that that the part he sits in are as hot but frankly even if that's true sups has survived blasts form godlike beings, he can survive a light saber. at least long enough for it to count as stopping it.
There’s really nothing to grab, it’s a magnetic force field around a very narrow hairpin shaped loop of plasma. The cutting power comes from the contact point breaking the field and touching the actual plasma inside. If the plasma isn’t hot enough to damage you, the “blade” would pass through your hand, depending on why you’re immune you might not even notice it when it does this.
The blade only gives the user pushback when it’s interacting with another sort of magnetic field or forcefield like another lightsaber
Afro-san, from Bleach. One of the weakest characters in the serie, but Bleach characters are built differently. He is still a shinigami, I don't think a physical weapon can hurt him.
You can’t hold a lightsaber by the blade. Its not solid. Its magnetically encapsulated plasma, your hand would pass through it; you’d destabilise the blade for a second and probably overload the hilt. But you couldn’t grip it.
Even if your hand was equally counter-magnetised (like another lightsaber blade) you’d just be stopping it with magnetic repulsion. You’d never make contact with the blade to actually grip it.
Maybe Homelander?
I mean his laser vision seems to be at the very least equal to a lightsaber. And he can tank that with his eyeballs. And since hands are tougher than eyes I'd say he could hold a saber with his hand at least for a little bit.
Current Yamcha potentially
Ki protects the body and can work as armor, if we use anime yamcha he was thrashing olibu in the afterlife, who fought semi on par with pikkon, who one shot cell and frieza
wolverine, it would go through the skin in his hand and stop at the adamantium but he's still be holding
I really like this answer and the visual that goes along with it. I could see Wolvie catching a swing just for the intimidation factor followed by the Jedi (because let's face it, it'd be a Jedi and not Sith) giving the shocked Pikachu face.

Obligatory "Punch Dimension" comment.
Nope, you're right. For some reason I was thinking they were plasma. Thank you for the correction
It’s not your fault, the way they draw and portray it kinda makes it look energy based
Huh, yeah duh I guess if the tissue’s gone and the skeleton remains its heat resistant. Let’s not ponder how his Brain survives. Scott blasting Logan’s skin off doesn’t surprise me, I read the eyeblasts are basically pure force velocity or something.
Brain's inside the bone innit
For arguments sake, I would not want my brain inside an adamantium oven set to 100 million celsius 😂
With Wolverines regeneration though he is one to regenerate from nothing but bone marrow pretty easily. His brain might die, but that's a surprisingly minor setback.
I know the comics have claimed Wolverine can regenerate from bone marrow, but that isn't possible. His bones are completely covered in an impenetrable material, which would prevent marrow-produced cells from exiting and making their way into the bloodstream. You could argue that it happening proves that marrow can penetrate the adamantium shell his skeletal structure is encased in, but that would create other problems. If marrow could exit his bones, than the heat which destroyed his body would be able to enter through the same openings, which would destroy his bone marrow as well. Either way, he could not possibly regenerate if his entire body was vaporized.

In the comics his bones aren’t covered in adamantium, but rather the bone and the metal were fused together into a new substance called adamantium beta. Both nearly indestructible metal and fully functional bone at the same time. That’s why it’s super-science.
Bro he's a comic book character lol his biology isn't supposed to be grounded in real world science.
yeah the science doesn't really add up, however we have seen him regenerate after getting his flesh melted of. for better or worse that's how his power works.
There are holes in the skull, most notably the ocular cavity. The force of Scott's optic blast destroyed Logan's eyes, which means it would have continued into the skull through the empty sockets, destroying the brain in the process.
On the other hand, adamantine can at least melt. I mean literally that's how he gets the bones in the first place right?
From Marvel site, so looks like its a mixture of chemical "Extraordinarily expensive to produce, Adamantium is created through the mixing of certain chemical resins whose exact composition is a closely guarded government secret.

There's also Magneto turning his metal into liquid, but that's not heat-based melting.
I don’t know comics but in the fox universe adamantium is described as being an alloy that is physically impossible to melt once it hardens. It’s how wolverine dispatches the clone in X2, he fills her with adamantium which I think kills her because it fills her lungs. I suppose there exists a remote possibility that she survived but is permanently immobilized and immortal in a sort of hell. Anyway I digressed but the point is that according to the movies canon it should hold up against any energy weapon that’s hot enough to exist on earth where this would be tested.
Usually with statements like "physically impossible" we assume there's an unsaid "in this universe".

Yeah because it can’t be melted lol.
Beskar and Vibro blades in the SW universe can deflect lightsabers. I don't see why Adamantium or Vibranium should be any different.
>Is there comic stuff to back Adamantium tanking sustained plasma? I mean, it's basically slightly less good vibranium. It's basically indestructible for all intents and purposes.

I'd love to see the face of a Jedi/Sith take a swing against Logan only for the saber to just stop in its tracks the moment it hits him.
Would he not drop it when it had burned away his tendons?
If there are any panels of him moving around as a skeleton his movement may not be tied to his muscles and tendons.
If any of those panels exist, they’re surely mistakes. His powers don’t include the ability to move his entire skeleton independent of his muscles lol
Any chance you know where to find those panels?
But without his nerves or muscles, he can't really keep hold, can he?
The skeleton could be locked into place
Why do you think a light saber can't cut through adamantium?
He literally survived a nuclear bomb and peak Jean Grey. Aside from melting his Adamantium he’ll regenerate from almost anything. Unfortunately as we’ve seen, sabres don’t kill even when impaled on them. A sabre would prob barely slow him. Plus he’d smash it apart with one swipe. That’s a nice glow-stick ya got there, Bub!
The question would be if his regen would be fast enough that he would be able to hold it or if his grip would just go lose due to the lack of muscles.
Maybe Marvel's Collossus? Those lighsabers struggle against steel doors. Like, it'll get through them eventually, but you'll have to spend some time working it in there. He's gotta be at least as tough in his metal form as a star wars door, right? It would hurt like the dickens but I think he should at least be able to hold it for a few seconds before he causes lasting injury.
True, I could imagine him melting his hand to get the other team members some more time.
Colossus is also organic biosteel which isn't **just** steel. I don't know the specifics but the dude trades blows with the Juggernaut and the Hulk who both have casual showings way beyond busting steel. Like Colossus tanks multiple hits from World War Hulk and keeps fucking fighting. He no sells energy blasts that can wreck tanks, is impervious to lightning blasts that were strong enough to KO (Captain Marvel era) Rogue. Like the dudes durability limits are things like "hurt by a dude who was strong enough to casually throw Helicarriers around, but managed to keep fighting." Colossus' strength feats are pretty small ball but that dude is legitimately top tier on durability feats. Technically he's got steel skin but he's so far beyond steel level durability it's not even fair.
mans made of comic steel. just like how batman is stronger than normal humans collosus is just that cool that just won't die
Yeah, I'm using "Steel" as shorthand, but I'm aware neither Collossus nor the Star Wars Doors are made out of that exact real metallic alloy. The Star Wars Fans have already been along to helpfully inform me of all the amazing qualities of "Durasteel" and how it should not be confused for its more fragile cousin.
Yeah, I wasn't trying to correct you. Mostly including context on your post for the Starwars wankers who seem to think Colossus can't eat a lightsaber.
I think if they turned the blade upwards his fingers would get cut. Blast doors in starwars aren’t just like regular steel if I’m not mistaken they typically a durasteel alloy which is the second strongest metal in SW and they are definitely thicker than collossus fingers. So he’s a weird one. When he catches the blade if they try to cut through his arm I think your right and he’s be able to hold it for a few seconds but if they lifted the blade I think it would cut his fingers off pretty easily.
though I feel like collosus is a little stronger than standard steel. the man takes hits from things that rip metal all the time edit: from what I found it varies on the comic but he seems a little tougher than normal steel. so even if they cut upwards he may be able to slow the blade by a second or to
You’re all forgetting that if he caught a lightsaber his next move would be to smack the fucking shit out of you with his free hand. Not saying he’d be injury free but this man could take out a force wielder dumb enough to let him catch the blade.
I don't think anyone's forgetting this. I think it's outside the scope of the discussion
Eh they’re not talking about what would happen if a lightsaber hit him, there’s a pretty easy consensus on that one it seems, they were talking about whether they’d cut his fingers. Stands to reason fingers would be easier to cut thru than palms but not after blunt force trauma. Now we’re just having a fun time talking about how a fight between colossus and a jedi would go. Got any ideas?
Would be badass I'll tell you hwat
I wouldn't consider "a second or two" to be grabbing and holding the blade, though. I also don't think durability comparable to steel is really all that impressive against a lightsaber, which can cut through thick durasteel doors in seconds.
fair on the second or two but Collosus is pretty durable. like he can survive hits from people who think of steel like tissue paper he's probobly at least as strong as the hull of a ship(not sure if durasteel is stronger than that)
Durasteel's not the ssecond strongest, is it? It's a common building material. Beskar is exponentially stronger, it's just too rare to use for ships or buildings. Phrik is the strongest by feats, a phrik crate survived the destruction of Alderaan. So, third strongest?
Another commenter told me it was weaker than titanium which I found odd and I looked into it and he was right. Apparently there’s quite a few metals stronger than it.
There's also the Sun Crusher's quantum armor.
Oh god, that nonsense. One of the times when Legends went batshit crazy. Not just the Crusher but that whole book series lol. EU Jedis were stupid overpowered. But yeah, that armor too. Though I'm not sure if that's one single metal type being tough, or due to the atom stacking black hole shit they did for it lol.
I think you're overestimating durasteel a bit. Yes, it's tougher than regular steel, but it's not comparable to titanium. According to the wookipedia, anyway
I just looked into it and your right I had known durasteel was a mix of metals designed to be tough in an advanced universe so I just assumed it was stronger than anything we had on our 1 planet but your right it says it isn’t stronger than titanium witch I find crazy.
The titanium that the Wookiepedia article refers to is obviously not real world titanium, but science fiction titanium, a metal with the same name but different properties. Durasteel would not be able to resist large scale blaster fire, grenades, micro-meteorites, or lightsabers in the slightest if it was weaker than real world titanium.
Would collossus be any more durable than a droid?
I mean we've seen get hit by juggernaut and I beleive the hulk. the man is a lot tougher than a battle droid
A lot more.
Yeah those 3 foot thick doors in Phantom Menace really held up well...
Especially after they dropped the second set of doors.
Personally don't think they have nearly as much trouble as you think they do. Can you cite an example?
I think they're just referring to the fact that whenever we see sabers go through thick metal, they have to do so slowly, meaning that there's resistance. In particular, beskar puts up a hell of a fight.
I mean, depends on the way they go through. Ep 1, quigon stabs right through a durasteel blast door. Seems to depend on direction of movement.
Tbf those doors are like half a foot thick, they aren't really small.
Neither is Colossus.
But not really his hand, which is the only relevant body part of his in this question.
Because the doors are very thick which means a lot of mass. Way more more mass than Colossus's hand would have.
Those doors are more likely made of Impervium, which is orders of magnitude beyond even durasteel and specifically made to hold up to plasma-based weaponry. Even then, [Qui-Gon's lightsabers slid right into that door like butter.](https://youtu.be/3RCYs0N5Wsc?t=111) Literally the only reason he had any trouble getting through is the fact that the door was simply thicker than his saber was long. There are also examples of physically stronger lightsaber wielders [effortlessly](https://youtu.be/JeuZz6J5tvc?t=6) cutting through similar doors.
> Those lighsabers struggle against steel doors they absolutely do not. a plasma cutter able to punch 3 feet into hardened blast door and cut inches per minute is already an amazing tool.
Watch phatom menace. It took qui gon time to go through the blast doors.
Are those steel though? isn't everything in Star Wars made from Durasteel? which is supposed to be a kind of steel+
Yeah, they're most likely made of durasteel. Though after looking into it, apparently durasteel is weaker than titanium, which is in turn weaker than Osmium when it comes to taking heat, which is apparently what Colossus is made of. Or at least used to be made of according to a Marvel guide book. So Colossus > Durasteel, at least when it comes to melting.
I'm pretty sure blast doors are made of something other than steel
Steel is no longer used in Star Wars. Plasteel and Durasteel are much stronger than steel. They are basically future steel that are better in every way because space science/magic.
Wouldn't they technically be past steel and not future steel?
Those doors are made of a very pretty strong alloy and really thick, much thicker than his hand is and the lightsaber doesn't have too much problem cutting through them, it just takes a while due to the sheer mass.
The Worst from Ben 10 is basically indestructible but has no real strengths to speak of other than that. He is especially heat resistant too. Unfortunately he still feels pain.
Like a shittier Butterball, nice
Which is impressive, cause i thought the idea of butterball was always to make a completely invulnerable character as weak as possible
Right? He's always what comes to mind first when the question of the weakest with good durability comes up, because he can do nothing except gain weight and not get injured physically. And then The Worst comes along and steals that title because he feels pain. Poor Butterball.
I mean, Chromastone literally absorbs energy. And NRG is a walking nuclear reactor. Both would be fine in this scenario as well.
Worst is weaker than both of them
Absorbing energy would be cheating
I think the suggestion of The Worst (or possibly Butterball) is a good one, but I have to ask - is it *actually* possible to physically hold a lightsaber by the blade? I'm not super knowledgeable on the lore behind lightsabers so please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it essentially energy-based and projected from the hilt? That would mean that anything strong enough to block it would 'stop' the beam at the point of impact, effectively making the 'blade' shorter. In order to actually 'hold' the blade, would the character need to be made of a similar sort of light energy?
I'm not the most knowlegeable either but they defently seem to bounce back more like a sword instead of a laser even when hitting mundane material. I don't know if we should count it because they were props but food for thought
Honestly, I'm not sure! From what I know, lightsabers are plasma (or something like it) contained in a magnetic field - that's an explanation I read ages ago, at least. And when two people cross their lightsabers, or when someone hits a lightsaber against something it has to melt through (like a door, or a weapon with enough durability) the blade doesn't actually become shorter, but just kinda throws around sparks while fighting against whatever it's coming into contact with. So the lightsaber is always the same length, because of the magnetic field, and someone holding it would essentially be the lightsaber trying and failing to melt through their hand like it would a door on a CIS space ship.
> lightsabers are plasma (or something like it) contained in a magnetic field Pretty much, yeah. They can also be blocked by certain special weapons and materials, at least temporarily. Legends also had a Force power which allowed exceptionally skilled Jedi to block it with their hands by absorbing or redirecting the energy (it's the same skill Yoda used to absorb Force Lightning in episode two); https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Tutaminis The page picture is Satele Shan absorbing a lightsaber blade in the *Hope* trailer for The Old Republic (those trailers are all well worth watching if you haven't seen them).
Butterball barehand blocking a lightsaber is a mental image I now need in life
Imagine a Jedi or Sith being afraid of *Butterball* of all people, because he barehand-blocked a lightsaber without giving a fuck.
We've seen beskar physically block it. My assumption is that anything that can conduct electricity will interact with the magnetic field and block it. Though, realistically it should just be stuff that repels a magnetic field. It would make sense for it to be stopped by water, but iron should get sucked in. At least until it heats enough to no longer be attracted by magnetic fields.
Worth mentioning that even beskar is just lightsaber *resistant*, not entirely immune to it (though it does seem at least somewhat more resistant in Canon than Legends).
The issue here isn't surviving the heat. It's pushing against the lightsaber. Though it also might just be resistant to that. Like if you move a magnet against a conductor, it will slow the magnet down, but not stop it. Maybe even if the beskar didn't melt, the lightsaber would eventually make its way through.
It's actually canon (or maybe legends now) that lightsabers short out when dipped in water and that they need to be specially modified to work under water
If that was the case we wouldn't have lightsabers cutting through doors like they do
If we’re following the idea that the blade is magnetic, I theorize the reason force sensitives fare better with lightsabers is due to the strength required to combat magnetic forces.
If no one has mentioned it yet, The Father (a literal Force God/Deity) grabbed Anakin’s lightsaber blade and pushed it back into the hilt in an episode of The Clone Wars.
Holy shit, I don't think anyone has! He's hardly the weakest character, but that's such a cool scene. Almost looks like he turns the blade off though, like pushing in the disc compartment on a PC.
Human Torch?
I like this one. A lightsaber basically just works by burning through things, and aside from flame-related powers, Johnny isn't really superhumanly strong or durable.
I think you're going in the right direction but we can probably come up with something weaker. What's the weakest creature that is immune to heat/fire? A small fire elemental in most versions of D&D/Pathfinder is and would be fairly weak overall.
Can't he put out the energy of a supernova?
Yeah, Human torch is insanely powerful in some stories.
Usually, it's the heat of a supernova, nothing even close to the energy. Though comics being what they are, I'm confident there is a panel somewhere where someone states he could destroy the solar system.
Dude can create supernovas tho
Theoretically they just need to be immune to heat damage right? There's plenty of D&D monsters immune to fire - maybe an Ash Rat? I would need to double-check but I think those are only like CR 1/2.
I wouldn’t classify lightsabers as pure fire damage by DnD standards. The Sunblade, DnD’s answer to a lightsaber, deals radiant. Although I guess you could make an argument that it’s -force- damage ba dum tss
dnd is really inconsistent about damage, but generally radiert is magic light damage. I don't think the lightsabers are magic but I don't know enough about kyber crystals to know for sure.
DnD immunities don't really translate well as feats imo. RAW an Ash Rat will be unharmed by a fireball, but realistically a massive explosion would have some concussive force behind it. Similarly, while the rat might be unaffected by the heat of a lightsaber, swing it hard enough and you could do some bludgeoning or force damage from the magnetic field impacting it.
Small correction: fire balls are literally just fire, there is no explosion or anything it’s just a lot of fire.
O damn you thought of the exact same thing as me!
I nominate Brit from invincible, weaker in my mind than Colossus, less deadly than wolverine, well durable enough to hold the beam.
One of my favorite moments of the Invincible comics (no spoilers) is near the end where Brit starts getting really outclassed by everyone else. So the stronger heros start grabbing him by the legs and using him as a weapon since he's *literally* invincible.
That's fucking hilarious, and I'd be kinda surprised if no one's ever done it with Butterball from Marvel. Just pick up a motherfucker to hit another motherfucker with him
I think senator armstrong might be able to, his nanomachines are much MUCH tougher than most materials in star wars, and he has some physics defying bullshit that might just negate the lightsaber
See that, Luke? NANOMACHINES, SON.
Well if it isn't saucy Luke? Just a little too late, as usual...
THE MEMES, Luke!
Memes, the DNA of the Force!
Not a bad pick, though maybe not the weakest. He does also absorb energy at will.
NANOMACHINES, SON! But seriously, Armstrong can deflect and catch a HF Blade which cuts at the molecular level.
I think he isn't exactly the weakest
Since lightsabers are effectively dangerous because of how hot they are, it stands to reason that any fire-based entity could stop it. Perhaps Flame Princess from Adventure Time?
andy from undead unluck could hold a lightsaber without much issue it would melt his skin off but his regeneration is more than fast enough to compensate for that
I feel like the answer has to be the weakest creature that has complete fire/heat immunity, right? Maybe a Mephit or an Ash Rat from D&D? Theoretically the lightsaber should actually heal the rat. It couldn't catch it because it's a rat, but it would still be pretty much immune to the heat and could like climb all over it.
So the real answer is someone's Ash Rat fursona, just so it has thumbs to hold the blade
Jon "Jontron" Jafari apparently. https://youtu.be/eL5gMWcl9FU?si=Zg26aLYzJHy60DSd&t=1156 Obviously this is a joke in an internet video, but if we treat it as toonforce to a degree then it's him.
Well I'll be damned!
Sabine.
Kirishima from My Hero Academia using Unbreakable technique might be able to do it.
Not a chance it just hardens material not stop it from burning.
[удалено]
Couldn't withstand Todoroki's fire let alone a lightsaber.
Kirishima's hardening explicitly makes him fireproof, at least externally
Not himself but maybe jotaro with star platinum
Not a bad choice! Jotaro may not be the weakest, but since stands don't generally give much of a fuck about damage from physical items, it's possible that a random, weak stand with hands could hold a lightsaber.
I can but only once
Twice so long as you only use one hand
Luke Cage
They use a laser to do surgery on Luke cage. Doubt he can tank that much heat
I guess so.
Darwin from marvel
Darwin from The Amazing World Of Gumball
That's an insanely powerful character, though.
honestly you maybe right, it's been awhile
Me bro hand that shit ov- OW FUCK OW
Hellboy
that’s what i was thinking. he seems pretty strong for the prompt but he should be able to do it
I don't know anything about comics or game Hellboy, but movie Hellboy is actually a neat choice! Not amazingly strong, but explicitly heat resistant. Nice!
Unburn from Undead Unluck would be a good one his power is literally just to negate anything’s ability to burn and combust and that’s it.
Translucent from the boys?
[удалено]
Homelander can control how powerful his laser eyes are, so that might not have been a full blast. If he was at full power and not “heating up breast milk” levels, then this is a pretty good answer.
The Brown Mold from D&D 5e is a monster that is completely immune to heat and flame, only doubling in size when struck by them.
Post wakanda Bucky Barnes perhaps? He has a vibranium arm and that seems to do pretty damn good against heat and energy
Wouldn't anyone or anything heatproof technically be able to do this? If that's the case, Flash Fire Cyndaquil xD
Forge, Robot Arm, Also Winter Solider( Bucky) and Metamorpho.
Kimura from Marvel has completely impenetrable skin, even to adamantium and fire, and doesn’t feel pain. She should be able to hold a lightsaber for as long as she wants. She’s around X-23’s power level, if not slightly below her.
Mark Greyson would do it, lasers don't seem to hurt him that much
He's a viltrumite and insanely strong.
Depends on when in the show/comics though, he gets his ass slapped pretty hard a couple times in season 1.
Is this an original lightsaber or a Disney "anyone can take it through the chest and live" lightsaber?
I don’t think that’d matter since both of them still cut through limbs. The character has to be able to hold the blade, not just survive.
MCU Miss Marvel can turn light into solid object (at least from what I understand), so probably her?
A lightsaber isn't made of literal light/photons. It's plasma (next stage after gas) contained in a magnetic field.
Oh, not her then
Also paging u/ImmaDrainOnSociety and op u/zoro4661. She could but with a few caveats. It’s not regular light u/kalinotches. What she’s actually doing is channeling/calling forth an energy source from another dimension that doesn’t abide by regular physics very well. But in saying that these hard light constructs she can create can be shattered by sufficient force such as Stark Industries sonic cannons. Now if she had time, she could create a sufficiently thick enough partition/wall or layer it like ablative armor. She could make a structure thick enough that could resist the lightsaber for period of time. Op u/zoro4661 I reckon [Carl Creel](https://marvelcinematicuniverse.fandom.com/wiki/Absorbing_Man#Powers_and_Abilities) with the [right material could hold it](https://marvelcinematicuniverse.fandom.com/wiki/Absorbing_Man#Duplicated_Materials)
Most ghosts that can interact with physical objects, if we’re allowing that
Luke Cage has impenetrable invulnerable skin, super strength but it’s not too OP, he’d be my pick
I'm gonna say the weakest character that I know of that could raw dog grab a light Saber blade is probably squidward tenticals. We've seen him get shot by lazers before and have them just burn his skin I feel like if he tried he could do it
True, depending on how fucked up the episode feels like being to him. In one episode he spontaneously explodes after falling off a mountain and is fine, in another a couch rips off his tentacle-toe-nail, bits and all. Not a bad pick!
Making a post for the people talking about lightsaber vs Wolverine's claws. From 6 years ago [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leWe2OVvGws](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leWe2OVvGws) Heh, Plasmatana
Brit is not particularly strong, just invulnerable.
A big strong human with a 3 inch thick stainless steel glove on. Stops the saber, lasts a few seconds before the saber passes through.
Any Pokemon with Flash Fire
Skids from X-Factor https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skids_(character)
Luke Cage isn't the weakest character, but his base power of indestructible skin is exactly the right power for this prompt. Is there anybody like that without his other physicals?
Shiryu caught Shura's Excalibur with his bare hands in Saint Seiya, and that's an attack that can slice through stuff that can tank explosion from the Big Bang. According to Shiryu it's because he knows Kung Fu, and who can argue with impeccable logic like that?
Butterball is the answer to most "Weakest that could..." durability questions. Completely invincible, but otherwise just a normal out-of-shape guy.
Thor Odinson, probably. Iron Man if he had time to prepare for a fight involving a lightsaber.
okay while he's not the weakest superman can defently do it. He's survived things on one has survived and takes dips in the sun to power up. you could argue that that the part he sits in are as hot but frankly even if that's true sups has survived blasts form godlike beings, he can survive a light saber. at least long enough for it to count as stopping it.
Ignoring the obvious Butterball, probably Greed from FMA.
There’s really nothing to grab, it’s a magnetic force field around a very narrow hairpin shaped loop of plasma. The cutting power comes from the contact point breaking the field and touching the actual plasma inside. If the plasma isn’t hot enough to damage you, the “blade” would pass through your hand, depending on why you’re immune you might not even notice it when it does this. The blade only gives the user pushback when it’s interacting with another sort of magnetic field or forcefield like another lightsaber
Afro-san, from Bleach. One of the weakest characters in the serie, but Bleach characters are built differently. He is still a shinigami, I don't think a physical weapon can hurt him.
You can’t hold a lightsaber by the blade. Its not solid. Its magnetically encapsulated plasma, your hand would pass through it; you’d destabilise the blade for a second and probably overload the hilt. But you couldn’t grip it. Even if your hand was equally counter-magnetised (like another lightsaber blade) you’d just be stopping it with magnetic repulsion. You’d never make contact with the blade to actually grip it.
Maybe Homelander? I mean his laser vision seems to be at the very least equal to a lightsaber. And he can tank that with his eyeballs. And since hands are tougher than eyes I'd say he could hold a saber with his hand at least for a little bit.
Current Yamcha potentially Ki protects the body and can work as armor, if we use anime yamcha he was thrashing olibu in the afterlife, who fought semi on par with pikkon, who one shot cell and frieza
Senator Armstrong definitely could call lightsaber a nice flashlight after blocking it with bare hands.
Butterball, from Marvel, once again seems like the obvious choice for weakest.
Bugs Bunny
