The Periodic Table of Comic Book Elements

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.

    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.
