| Arctite: Saturn's
rarest mineral generates a numbing super-cold,
and is used in the inner edge of this planet's
currency, called "ring-money" (AD 350). |
| Duralim: A
metal which has a greater attraction for
lightning than any other element (AD 312). |
| Durlamite: A
dense mineral used in the construction of prison
walls. It is the chief mining export from Durla
(AD 360). |
| Element
No. 152: Created
by Mon-El in the guise of Marvel Lad, when he
fused Gold (79), Silver (47), and Iron (26)
together in 2963 (AD 305). Later used by Brainiac
5 in the development of the Legion Flight-Ring. |
 |
| Energite: The
universe's most valuable mineral, found on Venus,
can cure disease with its radiation (AD 303). |
| Fluvium: A
rare element found in distant galaxies and used
in Mon-El's anti-lead poisoning serum (AD 305). |
 |
| Inertron: Discovered
in 2965, this pink colored metal is the densest
substance in the universe and is often used by
the LSH (AD 336). Alloyed with Manganium,
Inertron is used to insulate the thymo-plastic
walls of the Legion HQ (AD 367). |
 |
| Kryptonite: Fragments
of the planet Krypton can still be found in the
30th century, either imbedded in the earth or
floating through space as an asteroid. Kryptonite
affects only super-powered Kryptonians.
Kryptonite is not invulnerable and can be melted
by heat-vision, provided the subject is far
enough away not to be seriously weakened.
Kryptonite radiation can be blocked by lead.
There are several types of Kryptonite,
distinguised by color, in this highly unstable
element: |
| Green-K is
the most common variety of the substance. In the
presence of this green glowing rock,
super-powered Kryptonians become weakened and
feel pain. Prolonged exposure will result in
fatal Kryptonite poisoning, turning the subject
green. Ironically, Green Kryptonite radiation has
been discovered to help cure certain space-ills,
and in (AD 313) powdered form it is a vital
ingredient in Mon-El's Anti-Lead Serum (AD 305). |
 |
| Red-K
was created after a flock of Kryptonite passed
through a crimmson cosmic cloud, turning it red.
Red-K causes a variety of strange effects to
occur in the exposed Kryptonian. For instance, it
may cause them to shrink, grow large or split
into two beings. One particular piece can only
affect a particular individual once. The effect
of that piece may be catalogued, as if will
produce the same exact effect in another
Kryptonian. The effects of Red-K usually only
last 48 hours. |
 |
| Gold-K
will rob the exposed Kryptonian of their
super-powers forever. |
 |
| White-K
only destroys plant-life (SM 156). |
 |
| Blue-K
will only affect imperfect, unliving
bizzaro-duplicates of Kryptonians in much the
same way as Green-K affects Kryptonians. |
 |
| Lurium: A
metal which can only be melted by Zeta-Rays, and
is used to make telepath-blocking Mind-Helmets
(AD 303). |
| Neutronium: The
heaviest element in the universe (AD 326). |
| Radumite: A
rare mineral usually transported in underground
transit-tunnels by autom-trains (AD 338). |
| Rejuvium:
This rejuvenating mineral was discovered by
prospector Thomas Keene in 2965, and has since
been duplicated and used in youth-restoring
serums (AD 335). |
 |
| Sigellian: A
blue substance that effects Earth-stock humans
like Kryptonite effects Kryptonians. Comments:
It was named after its discoverer, Superman
co-creator Jerry Siegel (AD 267). |
| Spectrium: A
rare rainbow-colored metal that telepaths can use
to duplicate super-powers. Saturn Girl once did
this in an attempt to sacrifice herself to defeat
Zaryan the Conqueror (AD 304). |
 |
| Ultrasite: A
rare element that glows when bombarded with
electricity (AD 320). |
| Universium: On
of the rarest, hardest metals in the universe (AD
316). |
| Zeta-Rays: Also
known as "z-rays", this type of
radiation is illegal due to its great destructive
ability and is the only thing capable of melting
the metal lurium. Criminals frequently employ
z-rays for the making of zeta-bombs (AD 303, AD
351). |
| Zuunium: This
extremely rare, pink glowing element, found in
minute quantities on Zoon, was used by Dr. Mar
Londo to create a ray to give his son (Timber Wolf)
partial super-powers (AD 327). |
