[edit] Logarithmically

In the Antarctic Variety section of this article it describes the vibrations increasing in a logarithmic nature as more of this variant of vibranium are amassed together. As I am not familiar with the source of this information, the rest of the paragraph leads me to believe that the word logarithmically should be replaced with exponentially to more correctly describe the amassed vibranium properties. The definition of logarithmic means that it increases more slowly to infinity than any nonconstant polynomial. The definition and a descriptive graph is shown on the first link on google listed here (http://mathworld.wolfram.com/LogarithmicallyIncreasingFunction.html).

This means that if you amass any specific amount of antarctic vibranium then it will emit a constant amount of anti-metal vibrations. If you then get twice as much vibranium then it would vibrate less than twice as hard. Maybe something like only 50% greater vibrations for a 100% increase in vibranium mass.

I think that the original author of this section meant to say "exponentially" larger, meaning that for an increase in vibranium your vibrations are increased several times more. Using our earlier example maybe we get 3 times the vibrations for only twice the vibranium mass.

Could someone please cite these sources referencing antarctic vibranium so others might more clearly understand its nature.

[edit] Spider-Man

I cant remember the exact details, but in the past few months there was a mention of vibranium in The Amazing Spider-Man. One of Peter's childhood friends accidentally covers his entire body in vibranium, making him effectively indestructible.

Anyone care to look this up?

Also, the article could use a cleanup.

That would be Charlie Weiderman. And I cleaned the article up some. Dr Archeville 17:26, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, is Charlie Weidermann. It's the story-arc where were revealed the sublimation temperature of Vibranium and its solidification atmosphere DrTofu83 12:22, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Avengers

I read the trade paperback of the New Avengers "Breakout", added a bit about the SHIELD operation there...don't know the rest, since that arc was unresolved at the end of the paperback. Can anyone else finish that thought? 69.141.234.83 02:04, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Expanded

Well, I overhauled the article from top to bottom. Added lots more information and some pictures. Phunbot 08:09, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
