The Periodic Table of Comic Book Elements

Posted by chrisd on from the he's-looking-au-kid dept.

Ender, Duke_of_URL brought this Periodic Table of Elements to our attention. Of course adamantium is missing, and chemical X doesn't belong in a table of the elements of the comic book universe, it's mostly a collection of golden age and later comics. Modern comics are sorely underrepresented, unfortunately.

    Seems like it's a periodic table of REAL elements with references to where they are used in comics... not imaginary elements that exist in comics only.

    According to the X-Men universe, Adamantium is not an element. Rather it's an alloy. Which is, of course, absurd, since a real alloy will not be stronger than the elements it's composed of. But hey, it's a comic book :)

    While I enjoyed this Periodic table, I found this one to be much better:

    If you don't cringe after reading Arsenic, there is something really wrong with you.
