Vibranium is a wholly unique metallic alloy that exists only in [[[Wakanda]]]. Produced by the power of the [[[Demiurge]]], it possesses qualities that have escaped scientific understanding for decades.

It is resistant to most solvents and acids and becomes strongly ferrous when electrically charged. It is a perfect semiconductor at well above room temperatures. Wakandan machine-priests use alien machines to alloy it with other metals, creating a substance that has unmatched strength to weight ratios. The alignment of the metal makes it flexible yet rigid and maintains an extraordinarily sharp and durable angle. Vibranium knives and spears are highly prized in Wakanda for this reason.

Most interestingly, Vibranium reflects kinetic energy with incredible efficiency. A shirt with vibranium woven into it becomes something akin to chainmail.
