In the Matthew Reilly novel, Temple, thyrium is an extremely dense extraterrestrial metal that is native to a binary star system called the Pleiades [really an open star cluster, also known as the Seven Sisters but it does contain a binary star system called HD] and found on Earth only from meteorites.
Thyrium bears a striking resemblance to the radioactive terrestrial elements Plutonium and Uranium but because it is denser it takes fractionally less mass of it to produce the same amount of energy as a larger piece of Uranium. A particular isotope thyrium is the core element of a thermonuclear device called a Supernova, which is capable of destroying almost a third of the Earth's mass causing the Earth to spin out of orbit and into space.
In the Halo series, Titanium-A Armor is composed of a high-grade Titanium alloy, specially strengthened at the molecular level. Titanium-A has numerous uses throughout the UNSC due largely to titanium being lightweight and extremely strong, with a high tolerance to heat. It took new found importance after the beginning of the Human-Covenant War; To contend with the Covenant's plasma weaponry, Humans needed armor that would withstand the heat of the directed plasma.
Despite its strength and resistance to heat, the Titanium-A plating is usually boiled away within seconds, and does not effectively dissipate the plasma. Its primary use is as armor for ships. Larger ships were known to have even more, such as ten meters to a supercarrier. In the scene in which Scotty provided the formula for transparent aluminum on a Mac computer, the diagram showed an alloy of aluminum, silver and oxygen in an approximate chemical formula of Al 3 0 6 Ag 2.
A real-life development of transparent aluminum is ALON , or aluminum oxynitride, that has an approximate chemical formula of Al 23 0 27 N 5. This is a metal with transparency similar to glass and tensile strength similar to that of steel, quite common in the Star Wars universe. Found in the Stargate universe, it is given the symbol Ke.
In its unrefined form it is brittle and useless, but when refined it is a hundred times stronger and lighter than steel. Defined as "lustrous silvery", tritanium is completely impervious to all forms of energy currents.
Tritanium Armor is also the third strongest type of armor in the Master of Orion series. A mysterious and extremely rare metal used in construction of the Turtletron's exoskeleton shielding. Seen in the comic Viva la Lobster. The material from which the ship Virgil was constructed in the film The Core. The word unobtanium is also colloquially used by engineers to describe non-existent materials with desirable mechanical properties "That shaft would have to be made of unobtanium in order to carry such a high load".
A unnamed super dense metal in Battlefield Earth by L. Ron Hubbard that mixed with certain other elements causes an uncontrollable fission process that continues until there is nothing left of a planet except light gases. This metal is supposed to occur in meteorites before they burn up in an atmosphere. Asgardian metal used to create Mjolnir, the hammer of Thor. It is also present in the mace of Thunderstrike, an ally of Thor. The mace also bore the name Thunderstrike.
In the Marvel Universe is a metal called vibranium with unusual sonic properties. It is usually associated with the African nation of Wakandia. Vibranium is the prime component of Captain America's Shield. His non-fiction description of how Wellstone might be created is Hacking Matter. The metal which made space flight possible as a chemical catalyst for total matter-energy conversion reactions in The Skylark of Space by E. The Predator race, called Yautja , of the Predator films, as well as the humanoid aliens from AVP , use a super-light metal that can be forged to a monomolecular edge.
Such an edge would be impossible with any nonfictional element, none currently known that provide such a strong molecular bonding. Yautjavian weapons thus work on the principle that the thinner the cutting edge the more keen the weapon, this metal allowing for impossibly sharp blades. Often this metal is layered for greater strength, as when made into Yautjavian plate armor. An extremely hard super metal used to armor starships in the Master of Orion PC games series.
According to Master of Orion II: Battle at Antares, it is 4 times as strong as titanium based on game statistics which quadruples the ship's durability in relation to the standard titanium combat armors.

Under that banner, they released Twisted Metal: Black, garnering critical acclaim and commercial success for overhauling the entire design and story. TM: B turned out to be much darker and more, well, twisted for lack of a better term than the previous entries.
The aesthetic was super grimy and desaturated, and the characters were all lost souls in a mental asylum who joined the tournament to seek redemption in some way. It was also the first game in the series to garner an "M" rating for its violence and intense subject matter.
Even better, it was just really fun to play! Twisted Metal was the next big reboot for the franchise and is, unfortunately, currently the final installment to date although there are rumors brewing that another TM game is in the works to coincide with the upcoming Twisted Metal TV series. Nonetheless, Twisted Metal is a pretty good time, with the PS3 allowing for much greater graphical fidelity than before. Some of the new cars also had some gnarly specials, such as the ambulance Meat Wagon's special move that shot out screaming patients on gurneys who exploded on impact, or Sweet Tooth 's iconic ice-cream truck transforming into a flying mech.
Unfortunately, one of the big deal-breakers is that — unlike previous entries — the cars themselves don't belong to a single driver. Instead, there are only three playable characters Sweet Tooth, Dollface, and Mr.
Grimm who drove the various vehicles. This change was extremely divisive among fans. Other than that, this was a very solid entry, and hopefully, won't be the last.
This might seem like a weird place to put Twisted Metal 4 since it is one of the two games Studios made alongside the much-maligned Twisted Metal III. However, TM 4 surprisingly has a lot going for it. While Twisted Metal III was rightfully criticized for its tiny levels, finicky physics engine, and unoriginality, TM4 seemed to take those criticisms to heart and attempted to approve upon them. Admittedly, it didn't always succeed at addressing those problems the new characters — besides maybe the alien cop Quatro — were either lame or offensive stereotypes , but at least it made an effort.
For instance, the levels were huge possibly the largest in the whole series up to that point , the engine was much more arcade-y and closer to the feel of the original games, and it added many new features such as the "Create Car" mode. It also lets players play as Calypso who had a nuclear bomb as his special move and rocker Rob Zombie driving a literal Dragula, which was pretty cool too.
