Talk:List of fictional super metals

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There is no indication that the term super metal is used specifically in that context. The current article reads like a random list of examples. This should probably be deleted. Pascal.Tesson 16:42, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

I created this article. In the history of science fiction, the use of the super metal as a plot device is well known. Lists of other fictional chemical elements or substances already exist here. For example, aluminium was an expensive, rare and difficult to produce metal when Jules Verne used it in From the Earth to the Moon, transparent aluminium was used in film Star Trek IV, and now real version of transparent aluminium actually exists. This article is for specifically for metals as they hold a place in the human imagination for superior strength and durability. If you want a reference, the term is used by Lester Del Rey in "The World of Science Fiction, 1926-1976: The History of a Sub-Culture." Talltanbarbie 02:50, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

I look up things in this article all the time! We use the fictional metal names for name creation, and in product line design. It would be a horrible waste if this article were to go away, and i've saved a local backup just in case. --213.202.240.80 20:20, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
