sharper than iron and steel.
Skylark of Space
Epoxy-like substance that when catalyzed

by salt becomes useful armor much harder than the
best Terran steel. Salt is highly coveted by both
opposing sides warring over a world that
the Skylark visits because of its extreme rarity on that
world. The more barbaric side (Mardonale) was about
to kill the Skylark crew to obtain the salt from their
bodies, before being stopped by Prince Dunark, leader
of the more civilized side of the war.
Marvel Comics Earth712,RuneScape

superhero Hyperion. (So just as Hyperion corresponds
to Superman, Argonite corresponds tokryptonite.) In
RuneScape it appears as a light blue metal found only
in Daemonheim.
Mistborn series
A metal which allows Mistborn to see a few seconds

into the future, thereby allowing them to anticipate the
moves of an opponent. It also enhances the mind to
cope with and understand these new insights,
effectively turning a Mistborn invincible for a short
time. Atium burns very quickly.
The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra
An extremely rare element, abundant in outer space,

which among many other uses is a power source and
capable of raising the dead. If obtained and
researched, it would certainly have countless benefits
for science.
Australium
Team Fortress 2
An element originating from Australia that is similar

to gold, the major difference being the nucleus
resembling a pair of boxing kangaroos. It can adapt
and transform itself into different states and forms,
therefore making it extremely valuable and soughtafter. It enhances the intelligence of whoever holds it
and is known to turn complete idiots into geniuses.
Side effects includes a steroids-like effect and a
peculiar love for beer. Aided in the invention of
Teleporter Pads, Invisibility Watches, Life Extending
Machines, and the "entire spectrum of mustache
sciences".[3]
Axonite

the size of a man. It is a highly potent explosive as
shown when four crystals bring down a large portion
of a cave when ignited.
Balthorium
("Balthorium-G")
Dr. Strangelove, The Middleman

(TV series)-"The Obsolescent
Cryogenic Meltdown"
In Dr. Strangelove it is an element used in the

Russians' doomsday device. It is possible that this is a
mispronunciation, on the part of actor Peter Bull, of
the words "Cobalt-Thorium G," as both (real)
elements can be used in atomic weapons to increase
the amount of dangerous nuclear fallout, which agrees
with the sense in which "Balthorium" is used in the
movie.
In The Middleman (TV series) it is a very rare mineral
which is necessary to power The Candle's Melting
Ray.
Basidiumite (also
Brumblium)
Eleanor Cameron'sMushroom

unknown as it cannot be mined or smelted.
Blasium/Blazium
Buck Rogers in the 25th Century

(TV series)-"Twiki is Missing"
A white rock-like substance that resembles sugar

cubes, and when ignited, a small amount "can blow up
a small moon." Buck uses it later to reduce the mass of

a frozen-oxygen meteor that is about to enter Earth's
atmosphere.
Blingidium
Wigu
"The rarest compound in the universe." A large statue

made of this substance in the shape of Topato is dug
up by Wigu's family. Touching it leads to a feeling of
ecstasy ("feeling light" and "tasting watermelon"). It is
destroyed by the Space Mummy.
Blurite
RuneScape
A rare lightweight bluish-tinged metal. Mostly used

for decoration as it is too soft for weaponry.
Boing!
Judge Dredd
Plastic of extremely high elasticity
Bolonium or
Bolognium (or likely
Baloneyium)
Futurama, The Simpsons, etc.
A fictional element used to describe something as

impossible or nonsensical.[5] In the Futurama episode
"A Clone of My Own", Cubert Farnsworthused the
term "Weapons-grade bolonium" as an insult to his
"parent," Hubert Farnsworth's technology
demonstrations. An episode of The Simpsonsfeatured
an Oscar Mayer promotional periodic table of
elements with the element, which states that the
atomic weight of bolonium is "delicious" or
"snacktacular."
The Star Trek The Motion Picture official blueprints
published in 1980[6] specifically identify the
Klingon K't'inga-class battle-cruiser as possessing
bolognium engine shields.
Bombastium
Brightsteel
Uncle Scrooge
An element each atom of which, when dropped in a

barrel of water, is capable of generating a barrel
containing a different flavor of ice cream, according
to Carl Barks. It is discovered by
the Brutopians. Scrooge McDuck pays one trillion
dollars and six kitchen sinks for a soccer ball-sized
sample of it in an auction in a 1957 story in Uncle
Scrooge comics #17. In a Duck Tales story it is used to
power a time machine invented by Gyro Gearloose.
Brisingr of theInheritance Cycle
A mysterious metal that comes from meteors and is

extremely hard. It was used by Rhunn, an elven
smith, to make all the swords of the Dragon Riders,
including Eragon's sword, Brisingr. Swords made of
brightsteel, and enchanted in the right way, will never
break. She found the brightsteel in deposits throughout
Ellesmra, one deposit often being enough to make
several swords. Swords often took multiple weeks of
preparation and work to be made. Rhunn was unable
to find any more by the time Eragon needed a sword,
though, so he had to find it using a prophecy of
a werecat, Solembum, had given him, which was to
look under the Menoa Tree when he needed a weapon.
He found a piece of brightsteel ore there, and was able
to make his sword with Rhunn's help.
Macrolife
Bulerite which is used to build the huge cities which

house the Earth's (and colonies) teeming millions, are
at the pinnacle of their influence and wealth.
Unfortunately, it is discovered-too late-that the
substance is inherently flawed, in that after a time it
destabilizes and self-destructs with spectacular results.
Bydogen
R-Type
A gel-like substance created by human militaries as a

living weapon, which grew out of control into an alien
menace. The Force modules contain and use bydogen
to augment the weaponry of the attached R-Type ship.
Byzanium
Raise the Titanic!
A highly powerful radioactive element, the only

supply of which was believed to have been transported
in a vault aboard RMS Titanic.
The Adventures of
Tintin, Destination Moon
Discovered by Professor Cuthbert Calculus. This

substance has a silicon base and can resist very high
temperatures. It was one of the scientific discoveries
that enabled Professor Calculus to plan a manned
mission to the Moon.
Bulerite
Calculon
Caesium-frankolithicmixia-lubidiumRed Dwarf, Only The Good...

rixidixidexidoxidroxide
Capsidium
A chemical famous in its era, it was the cure for a

virus that was eating away at the hulls of the mining
ship, the Red Dwarf. It is not to be confused with
Caesiumfrankolithicmixialubidiumrixidexidixidoxidro
xide, which is a completely different compound.
Creates energy during planetary conjunctions if the

Teenage Mutant Ninja
lights hit the Capsidium, used
Turtles(1987)"The Fifth Turtles"
by Krang and Shredder to power the Technodrome.
Carbonite
Star Wars Episode V: The Empire

Strikes Back
A cryonic alloy, carbonite was originally used to

keep tibanna gas fresh. The chamber in the Cloud City
of Bespin was reconfigured to provide stasis forLuke
Skywalker for his transport to Emperor Palpatine. It
was tested on Han Solo, whom Boba Fett then
transported to Jabba the Hutt to collect a price on
Solo's head. It was then used to transport criminals.
Carbonium
Fury3
Found exclusively on the planet L24-D. Carbonium

explodes with 48 times the power and radiation
damage of a fusion bomb.
Cargonite
The 4-D Man
The mineral developed by scientist Scott Nelson

capable of acting as "the ultimate defense,"
impenetrable to all weapons.
Carmot
Alchemy
This term was used by alchemists for a mythological

element which the Philosopher's Stone is said to be
made of. The two items could be one and the same.
Cavorite
H.G. Wells' The First Men in the

Moon and The War of the Worlds
Cavorite is impervious to gravity and can shield other

materials from its effects. It is used to shield a craft
from Earth's pull, allowing easy flight. It was named
after its discoverer, Dr. Cavor, who used it to travel to
the Moon. It also coats Martian flying machines,
although it is referred to as a "gravity-blocking
substance", and not Cavorite. It is also used in The
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Robert
Buettner's Orphan series, A Deepness in the Sky, Dr

Grordbort's Contrapulotronic Dingus
Directory (written and illustrated by Greg Broadmore,
WETA Studios, New Zealand), and the second-season
premier of Warehouse 13.
A metal that can only hurt immortals such as gods or
monsters and their offspring
Celestial Bronze
Percy Jackson and the Olympians
Cernium-116
An isotope produced by bombarding "a mass of

Knight Rider (original series) in
plutonium with titanium ions..." It "is more radioactive
episode"Knight of the Juggernaut"
than uranium...and highly unstable..."
Harry Harrison's Star Smashers of

the Galaxy Rangers
The result of a college prank where a student placed a

chunk of cheddar cheese in a powerful cyclotron. The
resulting material was dense, black and produced a
powerful energy field when exposed to electricity.
This field could be used to flip a spacecraft through
enormous distances virtually instantaneously when
incorporated into a Cheddite drive unit. Not to be
confused with the real-world explosive compound of
the same name.
The Science of Discworld
A material which according to the Unseen

University wizards mostly makes up the world-bearing
turtle "Great A'Tuin." Since they can do a test to
determine its (non)existence in Roundworld, they are
probably correct.
"Chemical X"
The Powerpuff Girls
When Professor Utonium was creating the Powerpuff

Girls, he accidentally added this chemical to the
mixture of sugar, spice and "everything nice." It is
responsible for granting the girls their super-human
powers. Its chemical opposite and neutralizer is a
mysterious substance called "Antidote X."
Chromedigizoid
Digimon
A digital metal alloy, present in many Digimon as

armor or weapons.
Star Trek,Futurama, Teen

Titans, Jets 'N' Guns, Mighty
Morphin Power Rangers
From Greek: (Chronos, "time") + - (on,

"elementary particle"). Alternate
spellings: "chroniton." Associated with manipulating
or traveling through time in Star Trek, as well as
in Futurama, where it also has rejuvenation effects. A
chronoton bomb in Teen Titans destroys chronotons in
a given area, stopping that area's progression through
time. A "chroniton rifle" is the most powerful weapon
in Jets 'N' Guns.
Cinnabryl
Mystara Dungeons & Dragons
A glowing red magical metal that temporarily halts the

Red Curse created by vermeil. Depleted cinnabryl is
called red steel, and is used for weaponry and armour.
Not to be confused with the realworld mercury ore cinnabar.
Claudia
Last Exile
Cheddite
Chelonium
Chronoton
An element used to power vanships and larger

airships. It glows a light blue and is found naturally in
solid form. However, while in liquid form, it generates
an anti-gravity field when put through certain
processes, which allows the aforementioned ships to
fly. Its solid form is also used as a unit of currency,

simply called a claudia.
Collapsium
H. Beam Piper'sTerro-Human
Future History stories
Collapsed matter (i.e., no longer possessing separate

electron shells) plated in extremely thin layers (a
"micro-microinch" being typical) onto more
conventional metals and used as shielding for
spacecraft and reactors. May refer to degenerate
matter or neutronium. No direct relationship to the
same term used in the works of Wil McCarthy.
Colour out of space
H. P. Lovecraft's horror tale "The

Colour Out of Space"
Toxic and mutagenic element with

apparent radioactive properties, of indescribable color
and unknown spectrum, from a meteorite that lands in
a field.
Star Trek (1966), "The Corbomite

Maneuver"
Commonly believed to be fictional within the

fictional Star Trek universe. The supposedly nonexistent substance was invented by Captain James T.
Kirk as part of a bluff to prevent the destruction of
the U.S.S. Enterprise I by another vessel. The material
and device (both called "corbomite" in the bluff)
supposedly redirect any destructive energy back to its
source, destroying the attacker. The material has since
appeared in various other series and video games set in
the Star Trek universe.
Cordite
Metroid Prime
In its purest form, Cordite is a smokeless powder

composed primarily of nitrocglicerine. An elaborate
processing procedure transforms this powder into an
extremely dense solid. Cordite is so strong, in fact,
that in laboratory tests it consistently withstood direct
hits from war-grade missiles. Cordite can only be
weakened by simultaneous strikes with multiple
missiles. Cordite can be destroyed by using a super
missile; a charged energy blast with five combined
missiles. Not to be confused with the real-world
smokeless propellant compound of the same name.
Corrodium
Ben 10
An alien element that is capable of mutating certain

lifeforms. Prolonged exposure is required for the
mutations to be permanent.
Zero Effect
Referenced when Zero is doing Gloria's taxes and she

inquires about the fictional "Corrodium 3 deduction",
which he explains pertains to "class 3 decay toxins,
such as corrodium and maalgorium"
Corbomite
Corrodium
Cortexrulestheworldiu
Crash Team Racing
m
A chemical element discovered in the epilogue of

Crash Team Racing. Recognized and named by the
conceited scientist Doctor Neo Cortex, when he
returned to scientific research. Little is known about it,
besides its atomic Number, 117.
Cortosis
Star Wars
A lightsaber resistant metal.
Crapcrapium
Futurama: The Beast with a

Billion Backs
In a dispute about the relative hardness of

Diamondium and Diamondillium, Crapcrapium is
referred to as a disparaging comparator. The
implication is that Crapcrapium is soft.
Croach
Cryazin
Chogokin Z / SuperAlloy Z
Codex Alera
A translucent, waxy substance created by the Vord, an

alien race. It slowly absorbs and dissolves bio-matter,
and is then itself a source of sustenance. To the Vord it
is both air and food, and they provide spider-like
creatures that tend to its constant maintenance. Croach
is spread wherever Vord make their home.
Eleventh Hour
Featured in Episode 1.6 ("Frozen"), it is an organic

compound with phosphorus, boron and oxygen that
reacts with itself endothermically in the presence of
potassium.
This is the metal utilized to construct the
eponymous Super Robot of the anime series Mazinger
Z. In the series, Chogokin Z is created from the newlydiscovered element Japanium. Other variant metals
include Chogokin New-Z, used to construct Great
Mazinger, and Chogokin New-Z, which was the
basis material for Mazinkaiser. The series'
sequel Grendizer features an unrelated but still highly
similar metal called Space Alloy Gren.
Mazinger Z
The term "chogokin" has since become a trademarked

name for toys and models manufactured in Japan
by Bandai. It is also informally and frequently used by
collectors to describe toys with high die-cast
metal content, or in a nostalgic sense toward those
earlier Super Robot series and toys.
John C. Wright'sThe Golden Age

Trilogy
A transuranic element used as a building material; can

only be damaged through the use of black holes
and antimatter
TransformersOriginal Series
A quantum metal, useless by itself (only found on

Cybertron-like planets, and possibly artificially
created by the Quintessons), that, when alloyed with
other metals, creates the dimensional storage space
useful for transformationsextra supplies,
components, weaponry, or the like. The Dinobots were
created without this metal, which explains their huge
humanoid bodies.
RuneScape
A turquoise ore, mined by human slaves of the

vampires. All that is known about it is that the ore had
"some magical hoobery-joobery on it" and that "those
vampire types are after the hoobery-joobery".
Dalekanium
Doctor Who
A metal used by the Daleks as a component of their

armoured casings. Also, named in an alternate reality,
as an unstable explosive powerful enough to penetrate
those casings.
Dark Iron
World of Warcraft
Chrysadamantium
Cybertronium
Daeyalt
A metal found in the Burning Steppes and the Searing

Gorge. Favoured mineral of the Dark Iron dwarves
and the Blackrock clan of Orcs. To be worked with,
the use of the Dark Forge and the Dark Anvil, within
the Blackrock Depths, is required.

Dark Ore
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
Futurama
Dark matter is the biological waste of Nibblonians.

First introduced in "Love's Labors Lost in Space," the
extremely dense black material, usually clumped in
perfect spheres, is the primary source of power in the
30th century. It also exists in another form, dark matter
oil, in "The Birdbot of Ice-Catraz" a dark matter oil
spill on Pluto caused the penguin population to
become ultra-fertile. In the movie Bender's Game, it is
explained that all dark matter is linked by two crystals
that give it its properties as fuel. "Dark Matter" is also
a legitimate term in cosmology.
Darksteel
Magic: The Gathering
A dull, dark grey metal that is found on the metal

plane of Mirrodin. Constructions built out of darksteel
are effectively indestructible. Notable constructions
include the Darksteel Colossus and the Darksteel
Reactor.
Denzium
Metroid Prime
A durable mineral capable to being destroyed with a

power bomb (similar to Bendizium)
My Sims
In My Sims Agents, destinium is a rare, but worthless,

crystal. However, Morcucorp is secretly mining it
from a mine underneath DJ Candy's Club. They plan
to use Candy's Radio towers to generate high
frequency electromagnetic waves for
the transmutation of destinium into fortunate.
Transformers Animated
A liquid that helps Cybertronians repair themselves. It

is plentiful on Cybertron, but on Earth, humans were
only able to synthesize small samples. At high speeds,
destronium can get very volatile and would take out
half a city the size of Detroit if it detonates.
Deutronium
Lost in Space
A substance with many uses, refined into a flammable

liquid which the Robinsons required as fuel for
the Jupiter 2. It is mined as small white pebbles by
either drilling or pumping out of the ground. Some
species consume deutronium as food, including
the Cyclamen and the People of the Green Mist.
Diamondillium

Billion Backs
A substance harder than anything in this universe. The

only substance that rivals its hardness is diamondium,
though odds are it may be the same substance under a
different name.
Diamondium

only substance that rivals its hardness is
diamondillium, though odds are it may be the same
substance under a different name.
Dilithium
Star Trek
Dark Matter
Destinium
Destronium
A fictional crystalline mineral, in the universe of Star

Trek, that is used to regulate the anti-matter-powered
warp drives that allow starships to travel faster than
light. (Although dilithium is a real molecule, it is a gas
with none of the properties of the fictional crystals,
and the writers were unaware of its existence.)
DC Comics
Captain Atom's metallic "skin" is composed of a

portion of the alien being known as Silver Shield, and
is called Dilustel. Pieces of the alien's metal body were
used in Project Atom, and on later subjects like Major
Force and Bombshell. The metal is almost totally
indestructible. Only X-Ionizer technology can cut the
metal and the magical guns of the Crimson
Avenger were able to crack his skin. Breaking through
it causes Captain Atom to Quantum Jump as if he had
absorbed too much energy.
The Quiet American
A fictional ingredient in making plastic explosives.

When asked about the compound, the American
supplier claims, Diolacton is a milk-based plastic. We
use it in making the frames for eyeglasses.
Dragon
RuneScape
In the MMORPG RuneScape, one of the strongest

metals. It has a blood red appearance and usually
adorns white horns or black paint and other features. It
seems to have been forged by a race of elder dragons
called the dragonkin.
Dragonbane
AdventureQuest
A mineral which is poisonous to dragons. It is the

material that the legendary Dragon Blade is made of.
Doctor Who
A mineral used in the construction of buildings and

other structures, especially space ship hulls are made
from toughened duralinium. It is highly abundant on
the planet Uxarieus.
Durallium
Elite/The Dark Wheel
Spacecraft in the computer Game Elite and the short

story The Dark Wheel (based on Elite) by Robert
Holdstock were made of this material after it was
treated by being time stressed. It was the only known
material able to withstand the rigors of passing
through Witch-space, the method of interstellar travel
used in the game and novella.
Duralloy
Master of Orion series
Dilustel
Diolacton
Duralinium
Duralloy Armor is the sixth strongest type of armor in

the Master of Orion series.
Duralloy is also featured in some role-playing games,
namely Metamorphosis Alpha and Gamma World. In
both of these games, Duralloy has properties vary
similar to Adamantium from the Marvel Universe.
In Gamma World, Duralloy can also be found in
special containment drums, that maintains it in a
molten state by a magnetic field. Once the seal is
broken, the liquid metal must be used quickly (about a
minute) before it cools down and becomes
permanently solid. The cool down is rapid, and
absorbs background heat.

Star Trek
Spacecraft hulls are made from the super metal

alloys duranium and tritanium.
Star Wars
Durasteel is one of the most used alloys in the Star

Wars universe. Its qualities include: being very
flexible, resistant to heat and cold, monumentally
physically stress resistant, and the color brown.
Because of these it is the most common material for
the manufacture of spacecraft hulls.
E. E. Smith'sLensman series
Artificial, ultra-dense metal, the only known material

that will not occupy the same space as other matter
(coming from elsewhere) in a hyper-spatial tube,
hence used in armor, weapons, etc. that might
encounter anyone or anything a tube. Invented by the
Eddorians and used in their exploration of other
universes, given to their subject races in the Lensman
universe, and eventually discovered and copied by the
Galactic Patrol.
The Infinite Atom
Durium was an ultra-strong, extremely dense,

infusible sapphire blue alloy of made
from resistium and other "ultra-elements" (which had
an atomic structure consisting of a nucleus of
"negatrons," orbital protons and without any electrons
present in the atom at all), in The Infinite
Atom by John W. Campbell, Jr. Durium would also be
featured in several of the later works of E.E. "Doc"
Smith.
Dwarfstar Alloy/Hull
Metal
Various
Ships' hulls from various sci-fi novels starting in the

1920s were said to be built using this ultra-strong
material. It is an extremely condensed state of matter,
i.e. Neutron Star material, and used as a plot device to
make nearly invulnerable ships without having to
invent some implausible new materials.
Eitr
Norse Mythology,Tomb Raider

Underworld
A bright blue liquid, where life comes from.

Billion Backs
Described by Hubert J. Farnsworth as "Matter's

Badass Grandma". A pink substance that mainly exists
in the dimension on the other side of the anomaly; can
only be broken or punctured by more electromatter.
The tentacles of the planet-monster, Yivo, are made
from electromatter.
Element 99
Singularity
Also known as E99, the Element 99 was a powerful

source of energy. Scientific research on the element
discovered the E99's ability to alter time, and thus, the
substance was used by Dr. Viktor Barisov to create the
TMD, or Time Manipulation Device.
Element 115
Tomb Raider III
Duranium
Durasteel
Dureum
Durium
Electromatter
A turquoise element named by Area 51, Element 115

came down to Earth on a meteor which landed in
Antarctica. The element was worshipped by the
Polynesian's ancestors who once lived there (naming

the place "Kuma-Kuma"), until their sixth leader
Mauki was born without a face, as a mutilating
reaction to the material. The people then fled to
Polynesia. The artefact can shoot powerful turquoise
blasts, and can also be used to speed up and personally
alter evolution, even evolving an already developed
life form.
Dark Reign: The Future of War
Discovered in the outer planets in the early days of

exploration of the solar system, Element 115 was used
by Alpheus Togra, founder and head of the Togra
Foundation in his experiments where he successfully
converted the angular momentum of electrons directly
into mass. It is unique in that it was the only element
with an atomic weight greater than 92 to not undergo
spontaneous fission immediately.
Call of Duty: Zombies
A dark red element, and is exclusive to the Nazi

Zombie backstory. It arrived on Earth on meteors,
including one in Japan where the third Nazi Zombie
map is set, the meteors emit strange noise and
electrical pulses. Element 115 has been used to power
most of the out-of-place high tech such as the
teleporters, and is thought to have created the original
zombies.
Seven Days
This transuranic element salvaged from the Roswell

crash by the scientists behind Operation Backstep
generates a time distortion field around the Backstep
Chronosphere, displacing it through space and time.
DC Comics
Element created by Mon-El by

combining gold, silver and iron. It has anti-gravity

world in 1870. It has numberless strange qualities;
hardening tin twentyfold, lightening steel twentyfold,
whilst on the other hand being able to soften artillery
shells and human skeletons, it can be used in reactors
and also has teleportational qualities. Leakages are
known to create interspacial portals, which can link
together to form mildly dangerous singularities, and if
a vehicle's core explodes, it may teleport it "into the
ether", from whence it is not known whether recovery
is possible.

Kryptonians. Also referenced in World of Warcraft as
the most difficult lockbox in the game, only dropped
in high level dungeons and can only be opened by
experienced lockpickers. Is also a metal rarely found
in all mineral veins in Outland. A material called

the energy output. It takes six months to create
artificially. It has no health risks compared to elements
like plutonium but if taken out of its container it would
emit moderate levels of radioactivity (specifically
gamma radiation). It has a blue gel-like appearance
(which implies that it might be a nonmetal, though this
has not been confirmed) and it apparently can be
contained in a cylinder of glass or metal. So far it has
only been stated in the 12th episode of season three,
"It's Not Easy Being Green," which aired on July 31,
2009.

by Tosh to enhance the Psychic powers of his Spectre
Agents
Halo
In the Halo series, Titanium-A Armor is composed of a

high-grade Titanium-50 alloy, specially strengthened
at the molecular level. Titanium-A has numerous uses
throughout the UNSC due largely to titanium being
lightweight and extremely strong, with a high
tolerance to heat. It took new found importance after
the beginning of the Human-Covenant War; To
contend with the Covenant's plasma weaponry,
Humans needed armor that would withstand the heat
of the directed plasma. Despite its strength and
resistance to heat, the Titanium-A plating is usually
boiled away within seconds, and does not effectively
dissipate the plasma. Its primary use is as armor for
ships. UNSC Frigates have sixty centimeters of plating
on their hull, and UNSC Destroyers have up to two
meters of plating. Larger ships were known to have
even more, such as ten meters to a supercarrier. The
UNSC uses Titanium-A for construction of bases as
well, to make them less susceptible to destruction.
Places such as HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6, CASTLE
Base and Camp Hathcock used Titanium-A armor in
their superstructures.

a given application - sometimes referred to as
"unaffordium". In The Core it is described as a
special tungsten-titanium matrix.
In Avatar (unobtaniumsic) the metal is highly
valuable, and possesses unusual superconducting and

magnetic properties (although the prop used is nothing
other than galena). In Skyrates it is a green-colored
element that has many properties, most prominently
anti-gravity. Mark Donohue claimed that it was used
in the chassis of Penske race cars.

An alien metal in two forms. Wakandan vibranium

absorbs vibrational energy. The more energy it stores
the tougher it becomes. If the molecular bondsare

Wakanda, ruled by the Black
Panther. Antarcticvibranium emits a vibration that
separates the bonds of other metals, liquifying them.

Predator franchise
The Predator race, called "Yautja", of

the Predator films, as well as the humanoid aliens
from AVP, use a super-light metal that can be forged
to amonomolecular edge. Such an edge would be
impossible with any nonfictional element, none
currently known that provide such a strong molecular
bonding. Yautjavian weapons thus work on the
principle that the thinner the cutting edge the more
keen the weapon, this metal allowing for impossibly
sharp blades. Often this metal is layered for greater
strength, as when made into Yautjavian plate armor.

machine capable of sending metals and souls, but not
complex organic matter, across time.
Super Robot Wars
Named after the Balmarian god of creation and divine

justice, Zfylud crystals self-replicate and radiate
energy as a power source and also gain sentience when
in large numbers. In the Original Generation series, a
large chunk of Zfylud crystals assumed sentience and
called itself theSeptuagint.
Golden Sun
Zol is a floating, pale green, often cubic alloy
