10 Comic Book Inventions That Could Actually Change The World
4. Adamantium
The unbreakable metal that (sometimes) comprises Wolverines skeleton and retractable claws, Adamantium would actually be very useful in the real world. If it is light enough to be grafted onto a Human skeleton, but still unbreakable, the potential uses for the metal would be incalculable. All vehicles could be made essentially crash proof, for a start. Next, we come to bridges and skyscrapers and from there we go to all sorts of other possibilities, such as military applications. Yes, there is a lot to be said for an unbreakable metal that is lightweight. The only question is; how the hell would you cut it in order to fashion what you needed from it?
I am a professional author and lifelong comic books/pro wrestling fan. I also work as a journalist as well as writing comic books (I also draw), screenplays, stage plays, songs and prose fiction.
I don't generally read or reply to comments here on What Culture (too many trolls!), but if you follow my Twitter (@heyquicksilver), I'll talk to you all day long!
If you are interested in reading more of my stuff, you can find it on http://quicksilverstories.weebly.com/ (my personal site, which has other wrestling/comics/pop culture stuff on it).
I also write for FLiCK http://www.flickonline.co.uk/flicktion, which is the best place to read my fiction work.
Oh yeah - I'm about to become a Dad for the first time, so if my stuff seems more sentimental than usual - blame it on that!
Finally, I sincerely appreciate every single read I get. So if you're reading this, thank you, you've made me feel like Shakespeare for a day! (see what I mean?)
Latcho Drom,
