Nyrath Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictional_chemical_substance It does include such staples as "Adamantium" and "Vibranium". Spice up your next campaign with the supervillain mastermind attempting to obtain one of these chemicals for some evil master plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Waters Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Re: List of fictional chemicals Good find. We are playing a game at present as teen heroes in a world where the development of super-power science was by the Nazis during WWII (but they still lost). Our indestructible metal is called Uberite, which I kind of like the sound of. Didn't spot it on the link, so it looks like our GM gets even more bonus points for originality (unless one of you knows better....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edsel Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Re: List of fictional chemicals They are missing "Tegnoid". Tegnoid is the metal that the "Bloody Card" is made out of. This is taken from the Dirty Pair Novels written by Haruka Takachiho But it's really cool, as imcomplete lists go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlHazred Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Re: List of fictional chemicals They are missing "Tegnoid". Hey, Edsel, it's Wikipedia! If you notice something missing, well, go in and add it! It's easy, just click "Edit this page" at the top. And nice catch, by the way.

Lord Liaden Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Re: List of fictional chemicals Some time ago a number of us exchanged concepts for "miracle materials" from our campaigns here on the boards. Really good ideas on this thread: http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2589 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlHazred Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Re: List of fictional chemicals There's a few of those now, right? Questonite is the classic ("Quantum, look at this hole! Do you know how much these Questonite plates cost?!?"), although now it's called Questionite. We've also got Neutronium (which isn't really specific to Champions) and Kendrium (a metal invented by Dr. Kendrick). Have any official characters been made that use these compounds?

Edsel Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Re: List of fictional chemicals I went ahead and added Tegnoid. That's the first time I've ever experimented with Wikipedia. It's pretty cool. I added Tegnoid as a alloy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Questonite is the classic ("Quantum, look at this hole! Do you know how much these Questonite plates cost?!?"), although now it's called [i']Questionite[/i]. We've also got Neutronium (which isn't really specific to Champions) and Kendrium (a metal invented by Dr. Kendrick). Have any official characters been made that use these compounds? There is a difference between "Questonite" (pre-5E CU) and "Questionite" (current CU). The former was a superstrong plastic which could be made transparent, while the latter is an "uncanny metal" which besides being super-tough, can be made into supernally sharp blades that can cut almost anything and never loose their edge. IIRC the vigilante Thunderbird from Conquerors, Killers and Crooks uses a Questionite dagger. I'm not sure offhand if any published character uses Kendrium. The CU also features Destreum (a super-alloy invented by Dr. Destroyer), Kelvarite (a superpower-inducing mineral - Tachyon from the Champions genre book owes his powers to it), and the legendary Atlantean metal Orichalcum, which is both extremely durable and exceptional at retaining magical enchantment.

The CU also features Destreum (a super-alloy invented by Dr. Destroyer), Kelvarite (a superpower-inducing mineral - Tachyon from the Champions genre book owes his powers to it), and the legendary Atlantean metal Orichalcum, which is both extremely durable and exceptional at retaining magical enchantment. Orichalcum, at least, is already on the list. Frankly, it seems a little crappily put together. Like much of Wikipedia, it awaits some champion of order who cares enough about the topic to check it from time to time and enforce some sort of categorization on it. To do things like eliminating the duplicate entries in different parts of the list, say. They forgot Japanium (from the classic anime series Mazinger Z). Hey, tkdguy, it's Wikipedia! If you... Ah, nevermind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
