Nth Metal

Nth metal is an alloyed metal unique to the planet Thanagar. It has unsurpassed ratios of strength to weight and is extraordinarily durable.

Moreover, Nth Metal has inherent magical qualities and reflects a degree of awareness from whomever wields it. Thanagarians use Nth Metal to shield their starship cores, negate gravity and inertial properties of matter, and enhance their physiology significantly. The full potential of Nth-Metal has not been fully realized, as it's primarily used by the soldier elite of the Thanagarian military. It is strongly effective at neutralizing magical energies.

Humans exposed to Nth metal for prolonged periods begin to experience metagenetic side effects. These include physiological markers similar to the native Thanagarians. Increased aggression is a side-effect of this.
