MCU: 10 Things You Didn't Know About Vibranium

Vibranium's incredible adaptability is no surprise when one considers that a living version of the substance actually exists in Wakanda.

Sentient vibranium is discovered in a Wakandan cave by the Dora Milaje, the elite personal guard to the King of Wakanda. The vibranium discovered within the cave has the uncanny ability to cause earthquakes and disrupt local ecosystems in addition to other natural phenomena.

The Dora Milaje actually take this sentient vibranium into their bodies; members who spent years fine tuning their abilities within the cave eventually absorb the substance through their skin. They also use this vibranium in their spears, allowing them to better bond with the substance and connect with the environment around them.

As with all intelligence - you may remember a certain supervillain named Ultron - sentient vibranium can be extremely dangerous in certain circumstances. This version of vibranium mimics the nature of the person absorbing it down to their very core, while forming a distinct personality of its own at the same time. A member of the Dora Milaje with a flawed personality who goes on to absorb the sentient iteration runs the risk of the darker aspects of their personality being multiplied and taking control of them, with potentially devastating consequences.
