Gravitonium

Gravitonium is a rare metal of extraterrestial origin. Formed in cosmic radiation-based storms, the metal is named for its unique property regarding gravity. When exposed to electric currents, gravitonium can be used to manipulate gravitons and distorting gravity fields. Gravitonium is used by various organizations to create non-gravitional fields, levitating from the ground for the purpose of flights along with potential extended manipulation of gravitons.

Gravitonium's main properties were explored, documented and published by Dr. Franklin Hall, prior to his descent into madness and becoming the supervillian known as Graviton.

Properties
Gravitonium's primary property is how under certain conditions will distort local gravity fields. Whenever gravitonium is exposed to electric currents above a certain amperage, the gravitonium begin emitting an anti-gravity field of a certain radius. This field can be manipulated by changing the amphere of the electric current through the gravitonium and fine-tuned through further means, such as magnetic fields on top of it. The gravitonium is relatively unaffected by this though it does change states while the electric current is being run through.

Any object will be able to move virtually independent of the force of gravity provided by planetary objects and with an adequate amount of thrust, can move in any direction as desired. Despite this though, they are not at risk of floating free from the gravity of the plantary body they are stationed on for the most part.

Besides being receptive to electric and magnetic fields for its gravitional effects, gravitonium is a relatively mundane metal. It is nontoxic under normal conditions and can be handled with minimal safety equipment. It has been comparable to aluminum regarding its ease of handling in normal conditions. It is a very dark-colored metal. It has a very high melting point; however, lower points of potent temperature is sufficient to soften the metal for molding.

Applications
The biggest application for gravitonium is in its use for providing constructs and objects anti-gravity properties. Items such as powered exoskeletons could achieve flight through the usage of the material. Massive structures could be maintained airbourne indefinitely through engines producing anti-gravity fields through gravitonium.

However, its rarity means that it is only used in very rare circumstances, just as government-sanctioned operations though the black market has been a source to find some. On very rare occasions, some gravitonium could be found from the sites of asteroids or comets. Other places believed is deep underground, deposited there when the Earth was quite young.
