Marvel comics has created some of the most iconic superheroes with unique names and symbols that have become recognizable around the world. Yarris, Lynn (29 June 2005).

Yb (ytterbium) = Byrrah (a pretty ingenious call for a nearly impossible abbreviation) thoughts on a long-term project: The design of captain america’s shield has changed throughout the years, with some versions featuring a circular shield and others with a triangular one. My own personal feeling is that Uru, forged by the dwarves, is an alloy using these elements rather than an element itself - It's super strong, and takes enchantment well, so I would expect Iron, Carbon, and a number of items in the D 9 and D 10 orbitals - Adamantium, Vibranium, and Gravitonium (it flies, for Thor's sake!) at a minimum.First used in 1970 in the "Crelm Toothpaste" sketch of the season 2 episode "How Not To Be Seen", and again in 1971 when the same sketch was re-released as part of the Pythons' film And Now for Something Completely Different. A chemical of obscure composition, ostensibly a powerful preventative of tooth decay and invariably referred to as "the miracle ingredient, fraudulin", it is a direct parody on the use of questionably effective "miracle additives" in advertising puffery. Fictional metal named in the 1986 computer game Uridium, available for the Commodore 64, [83] ZX Spectrum, BBC Micro, and Amstrad CPC. [84] Each level of the game takes place on a space dreadnought named after a different metal. The last level is named after the fictional element uridium. The cassette inlay card says the name was created by one of the game developers who thought uridium really existed. [85] (Not to be confused with real element iridium.)

The x-men believe in a world where mutants and humans can coexist peacefully, and the “x” symbol embodies that belief.Has a key role in Star Trek's warp drive propulsion system, since it is described as the only compound able to generate warp fields when given energy from the warp core. The crew of USS Voyager are forced to land on a planet to retrieve verterium cortenide to repair their warp nacelles after a sabotage. A material invented by Dr. Brazzelton, who dubs it "unobtanium" as its technical name has 37 syllables. Unobtanium is able to convert heat and pressure into energy that reinforces its own structure, allowing the construction of a vessel capable of enduring a trip to the Earth's core. In addition, it can also turn heat into electric power. Unobtanium is created by combining unspecified crystals in a tungsten- titanium matrix at very low temperatures.

Dust: Dust is the basic unit of consciousness from the His Dark Materials series by Philip Pullman. Dust is sometimes called Rusakov Particles after the scientist Boris Rusakov who played a key role in dust’s discovery.

In the Liaden universe, the planet Surebleak was once a mining center for timonium before large amounts were discovered in another nearby star system. Timonium is a radioactive element used as an internal power source for high tech devices. [79] The material has also been featured in The Stardust Voyages, [80] and in Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends. Certain symbols were altered or simplified for visual clarity in the films – for example, captain america’s classic round shield was changed to a more functional, angular design. The films have influenced the public perception of certain characters – for example, the iron man films popularized the character and made him more well-known to non-comic book audiences. Promethium is a metal alloy with two quite different isotopes, "depleted" and "volatile". Promethium's properties, key among which is that it's virtually indestructible with self restorative properties; make it highly coveted by various public and clandestine interests. The mercenary Deathstroke, for example, uses a suit of the volatile type which could mend itself after being damaged. [100] Both young heroes Victor Stone's bionic chassis and Roy Harper's body armor were made of the depleted variety. Originally discovered and isolated by Dr Henry Pym, the Pym Particles are rare subatomic particles which can alter the size and mass of objects and living beings. Originally, it was believed that the particles could only decrease & increase the size and mass of organic or inorganic matter, though after years of work by Dr Henry Pym and various others however, it could also modify the conditioning of living beings and objects. Operating on a string of Axis' that govern strength, density & height, making it the sources of a good chunk of many superhuman being's powers; enabling a users capacity for gaining physical ability on par with the likes of Blue Marvel, The Sentry and Wonder Man.
