I’d say Germanium just because I remember is was one of the hardest metals to identify on a geology midterm.

My favorite metal is copper because it’s kept me warm in the winter.

Mercury! According to the Metal Men, it’s the only metal that’s a liquid at room temperature. Plus it makes people crrrrrraaaaaazy!

My favorite metal is in the P.O.S. rap lyric “Between the kegs and the Mega we got about as much heavy metal as we’re gonna need.”

My favorite metal is Bismuth. Originally I wanted to come up with a fan character for a series and the theme was metal plus an animal so I wanted a rare one. Bismuth is almost rainbow in color and only twice as common as gold.

I’d have to say gold — my family has always given me gold jewelry since I was a child. There’s just something classic about it and I pretty much associate it with the women in my life, like my grandmother and my mom.

Copper is a winner for me. I miss when pennies were made of the delightful metal and it makes tiny rainbows when heated sometimes. Can’t beat that with a stick! Go copper!

I’ll go with PMS 8021… the metallic ink we used in Project: Telstar!

I’m going with Einsteinium. Not only does it have the best namesake, but its atomic number is 99, it is the rarest of all metals (none exists in nature) and also the most deadly.

I have to go with Iron, since it is the first metal I learned the atomic symbol for – thanks to the Legion of Super Heroes’ Ferro Lad.

I’ll go off the board and pick niobium–it’s a useful superconducting metal, used to power high-strength electromagnets in things like MRI machines and particle accelerators. And it turns a real pretty peach color when it oxidizes.

I like Aluminum because of all the metals it has the best variance in pronunciation between the U.S. version and the British version.

I like copper, because it turns that lovely green color when it oxidizes.

Oooooh. Which of the Elements of Doom is my favorite? I’ll go with Hafnium.

I wish I could come up with a more creative answer to this, but I’m gonna go with gold because I have these gold sneakers that please me very much whenever I look at them.

well, I grew up in the Bronze Age of comics, but learned to read thanks to hand me down Golden Age Dell Comics, which later became Gold Key, and being a huge music fan it’s tempting to say Led Zeppein…but my favorite metal would have to be titanium due it’s strength and aerospace uses. That, plus Paul McCartney wrote a really fun song called “Magneto and Titanium Man”

Bronze, because I am less likely to die if I get stabbed by it instead of iron or steel.

Japanese Okonomiyaki – Because some of the best nights I spent in Kyoto with my college friends was in an Okonomiyaki Bar called the Dojo.

Damn, Shannon took my entry. Good thing I already have a copy. (A copy I got at SDCC by dropping your name. So I am already a winner! Thanks.)
