Appearances: The Dark Claw Adventures #1, Bullets & Bracelets #1, Legends of the Dark Claw, Magnetic Men Featuring Magneto #1
In the Amalgam Universe, this indestructible metal apparently comes from Wakanda, which is the major source for vibranium in the Marvel Universe. Diana's bracelets, Lady Talia's limbs, all or part of Kultron, and Dark Claw's claws are made of it.

Atalantica
The continent of Atalantica is destroyed c. 45000 BCE, leaving only a few island remains of its once great cultures. The resultant flood nearly wipes out the human race. The Serpent Crown is created about 16,000 BCE by one of the cultures that grew out of the destruction of Atalantica. JLX

Atlantis [both]
About 1385 BCE, the island nation of Atlantis sinks beneath the waves. Science and/or magic provides a means of transformation that grants the Atlanteans a chance for survival. The resultant new species of humanity may have been the first recognized breed of mutant or metamutant.
In 1940, Namor is the lone survivor of the destruction of the Atlantian city Poseidonis. He comes to the surface to protect the oceans from further damage from land dwellers. In 1956, Marko Xavier (Mr. X) assumes an advisory position with Tom Harper's Project Cadmus, and funds many efforts to aid the Mariner's search for Atlantis. (Amalgam Card #19) In 1957, Cadmus abandons the quest for Atlantis. JLX UNL
