1. Your friend and mine, Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonder_Woman%27s_bracelets


The bracelets of the Amazons were forged from near-indestructable "amazonium."
But Wonder Woman's in particular were crafted from Aegis, the mythical shield of Greek hero Perseus.

2. hmmmm

If "amazonium" is nearly indestructable, how do they forge it?

[SteppingRazor]

3. Why, the same way they forged Wolverine's adamantium claws, of course! n/t

5. I thought those were grown, rather than forged

(oh, geez, not another comic book thread!)

let me see...
back in the early 90's, Marvel Comics Presents ran a series about Wolverine's origin. I believe the adamantium was actually bonded to his bones by dissolving it in some solution first and growing it there like a crystal. The claws were an unforseen side effect.

i never realized what a comic geek I was.....

6. Right. Weapon X. I remember the series.

I don't remember the exact origin of the claws though. I've got all the Weapon X comics. Next time I visit my parents, I'll drag'em out of the attic and check it out :)


(OK, OK. I won't.)

7. I thinkit gains its indestructability through a carefully controlled

annealing process. The metal is workabls until the quench "sets in" the indestructability. ;)
