Darksteel

Darksteel is a fictional metal from E-113:Xi and ZeroPath's fanon series Mobius: Next.
==Properties==
Darksteel is generally considered to be an overall weak metal. It is opaque, non-magnetic, has a low density, and is very malleable. However, Darksteel is an incredibly powerful insulator. It can resist many forms of energy (including but not limited to thermal, electric, radiant, and nuclear) with much ease, making it virtually immune to non-physical damage. For this reason Darksteel is often used as supportive metal, helping to protect stronger armours and plating from damaging energies.
==Origin==
Darksteel was first discovered in an alternate Zone, which is currently still its primary source. The Zone itself was stumbled upon by complete accident, but was visted several times more for research purposes. Being a natural alloy, teams were able to extract the metal and return it to the Next Zone for processing.
==Composition==
Darksteel is a natural alloy. It is composed of Iron, Carbon, and an unknown element which gives it its unique properties. This third element is believed to only exist in the Zone from which Darksteel originated, which would explain its lack of identity.
==Noteable Uses==
The most recognized use of Darksteel comes from unused stories in Mobius: Next, which are now considered alternate realities. In both instances, Chaos was given Darksteel plating of some sort. The first instance involved the plating being used as armour, when Sonic the Hedgehog battled the counterpart of Chaos from the Zone in which Darksteel was discovered. The second instance involved the plating being used as shackles, during an older version of the Malicious storyarc which Chaos was a part of.
Topaz the Hedgehog's flail "Genesis" is also made of a Darksteel-Titanium alloy. This is never mentioned in the main story of Mobius: Next, however.
