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.

    Its elements of the periodic table found in comic books, not comic book elements. Sheesh, not even close, must be late at night for the editorial staff.

    In fact, alloys are frequntly stronger than the component metals. A mix of different types of metal atoms is a lumpier structure, and the atoms can't slide past each other as easily as they can in a pure metal. Thus, bronze is stronger than copper or tin, steel is stronger than iron or coal, and so on.
