List of invented elements, materials, isotopes and elementary particles

An invented element, material, isotope, or elementary particle is a chemical element , material , isotope, or elementary particle that only exists in fictional works (in mythology or fictional literature such as fantasy and science fiction ). There is no element of the periodic table with a name ending in “-it”, although many minerals have names with this suffix. Some of the materials listed may actually be minerals, alloys, or other combinations. However, fantastic works are often very vague in making such distinctions. The most likely assignment has thus been made.

Invented elements and materials

Adamant , adamantium, adamantite	Greek Mythology , Marvel Comics , Final Fantasy , Warhammer 40K , World of Warcraft , Spider-Man Anime , Master of Magic , Chronicles of the Underworld , Terraria , RuneScape , Drifting Souls 2	In Greek mythology, adamant is a very hard material that could even hurt gods. In ancient times it was mostly interpreted as metal, in the Middle Ages, when the high hardness of certain precious stones such as diamond and sapphire were discovered, then as a mineral. In modern fiction, adamantium describes a number of closely related iron compounds along with chemical resins. It is often described as indestructible. Wolverine's skeleton is covered in this material.
Amazonium	DC Comics	This metal is only found on the fictional island of Themyscira and is used for extremely strong and light armor. An Amazonium alloy is found in Wonder Woman's bracelets .
Arcanium	The black eye	Also known as marboblei , it is a soft, magical metal, from pure white to light gray in color. It's slightly lighter than gold.
