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.
Slashdot hits home. It's scary.

What about thulium
All it says there is GLUG! sorry no comics yet for this element..
I wonder if I should rush out and make a thulium comic and take my place in history. Hm.
Probably not.

Enjoy the mirror!
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.
There's 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
here is a periodic table that IMHO is way cooler :-)
Explodium: The element that most bad guy armies make their crafts and mecha out of. It is cheap so they can make a million of them for every one good guy unit. The problem is that they have this property to explode in a colorful and violent way(which films incrediably well). The Zion(Gundam) and the Empire(Star Wars) invest heavly in this element and base entire fleets off the stuff.
In its native form this element is deposited on computers all over the internet, is largely harmless and considered fairly trivial. However the presence a web site known as "slashdot" causes this element to ionize and it is than attracted to this site. This ion permeates quickly through broad band and rapidly builds up at this site creating a large positive charge. Often small web sites linked to this "slashdot" will serve as an outlet to these ions and they will accumulate on the smaler site until it reaches critical mass. At this point the web site collapses under the weight and the rate at which the ion transfers slows down noticeably, eventually the process is complete the ions will slowly migrate back to "slashdot". Invariably this process will repeat its destructive cycle indefinitely.

The comic listing for silicon should be:
* Every comic book drawn by a man that has a female character(s)
If you've ever read Jim Balent's 'Catwoman'... I mean come on... How the fuck am I meant to believe she shimmies up buildings with the slightest of ease. I have trouble believing she walks upright without a back brace.
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.
