December 8, 2010 2:57 pm I don't understand how a mesh would help.  Since we're assuming the material has an infinitely high modulus of elasticity, there are 2 cases to consider:

1) Interconnected mesh - By definition, this would be incompressible and hence unshrinkable.

2) Interdispersed  particles - This could allow shrinkage, but would result in "adamantium dilution" in the full-sized hulk.  Particles size would have a huge effect here.  You'd have to trade off shrinkability for performance.  Having bones interlaced with non-connected adamantium nanoparticles might just make Bruce weigh much more without helping Hulk. 

I think the way to really do this is to inject Bruce with antibodies conjugated with adamantium nano-switches.  Next, target the antibodies to the bone surface to create a coating of adamantium "gates" which can reorient (assemble or disassemble) in response to electrical signal.  Then all you need is to set up a control signal that will set the whole thing up to trigger whenever Banner's size starts changing.  This approach also solves the delivery problem since all you need is to inject it with an adamantium needle. 

The drawback: you only have a really thin coating on the bones, but since adamantium is almost infinitely strong, maybe thats all you need?

Magneto is obviously toying with Sinestro.  All he has to say is "Well,at least my daughter isn't doing Kyle Rayner" and the day is his.

Upstairs on the 3rd floor, Dr Moriarty overheard the entire conversation on the secret microphone he had planted years ago while dusting the Tyrannosaur.  The Alfred Pennyworth persona had served him for decades.  His access to Wanye technologyes had been invaluable in throwing Holmes offf his trail.  He cursed quietly to himself as he rapelled down the mansion wall and stole away into the night. 

Later that night he circled a classified ad in Gentleman's Gentleman's Quarterly.  Apparently Tony Stark was hiring.

I go a little mad in the lab sometimes. 

I do a some fluid mechanics mathematical modeling coupled with data I take in the lab.  These experiments get pretty complex and some days I'll get the feeling I've gone all "Beautiful Mind" and I'm actually doing the lab equivalent of decoding newspapers on the garage wall.
