Ultimate Black Panther #5 spoilers! Thanks to the Black Panther movies, everyone knows about Vibranium now. Even my mum. A fictitious metal native to Wakanda that can absorb and transform kinetic material, making it indestructible but also useful for all manner of technologies and fuelling the Wakandan technological boom.
But in Ultimate Black Panther #6, Bryan Hill and Carlos Nieto are going in a different direction by giving Vibranium its own evil twin! How's that for a subverted trope?
And of course, twins only act up in the presence of their other sibling. Especially when large jolts of electricity are involved.
And suddenly doing their own impression of Little Shop Of Horrors, with a sliver of Evolution, Species and The Andromeda Strain.
So what is it? And does it have a name? All unique metals at Marvel, ultimate or not, need a name. Adamantium, vibranium, mysterium…
… what would this genesis material be called? And what is its history?
Well, it looks like the twin metals travelled together…
…. although they definitely have different outlooks on life.
Are these Endless metals, Parliament avatars, Gods of Material and of Flesh? There is power in a name of course.
Come on! Give it a name! Trademark lawyers are standing by… no mention in the solicit either, even as Wakanda and Egypt go to war over the metal. So go on then… how about FleshyMacFleshium. It's as good as any other, right?
