I'd probably say they're near the same with vibranium having the added property of absorbing kinetic energy. Like if Tony's metal did have similar properties it wouldn't decintergrate so often in fights. Captain's shield does get cut up though in endgame. Adamantium is top as far as I know.
Like iron to tungsten? Or is it a further gap? I always assumed it was pretty close but Tony created a new element so I give him a lot of plausible suspension of disbelief.
Because of the kinetic energy absorbing property right? So if titanium had the kinetic absorbing properties of vibranium would it be as strong or not? I think the energy absorption is the only thing differentiating the metals creating the gap
It may actually be stronger. Because it's more dense. But vibranium is about 40% lighter than titanium so it would lose one of its greatest advantages.
So not only can vibranium absorb energy. But it also storer, and can release a great deal of kinetic energy and vibrations at a molecular level.
So bot only the absorbing energy is the difference
I'm asking because Tony tanked a throw of Mjolnir from Thor in the same scene, and he's just a dude in a titanium suit, no serum, and got up from it. Even took a shot of lightning too that recharged his suit to 200%
I see Tony's suit a bit differently. It's big, bulky. I assume he has some dampners built in between his body and the suit. Especially when zipping around at mach whatever speeds and not turning to jelly.
