Fermium

100
Fermium

Fermium is a radioactive element, which does not occur naturally on earth. Therefore it needs to be produced artificially. It is named after the physicist Enrico Fermi.

There is no picture of the monster, yet. Urano and Pluto still need to create it in one of their clone-experiments.

Einsteinium

Einsteinium

Einsteinium is a radioactive element, which does not occur naturally on earth. Therefore it needs to be produced artificially.

Californium

98
Californium

Californium is a radioactive element, which does not occur naturally on earth. Therefore it needs to be produced artificially. It is named after the city of Berkeley, California, where it was discovered. It is considered as one of the most expensive materials on earth: One gram of the isotope Californium-252 costs up to 60 million US$!

Berkelium

97
Berkelium

Berkelium is a radioactive element, which does not occur naturally on earth. Therefore it needs to be produced artificially. It is named after the city of Berkeley, California, where it was discovered.

Curium

96
Curium

Curium is a radioactive element, which does not occur naturally on earth. Therefore it needs to be produced artificially.

There is no picture of the corresponding element, yet. Urano and Pluto still need to make the monster in one of their clone-experiments.

Americium

95
Americium

Americium is a radioactive element, which does not occur naturally on earth. Therefore it needs to be produced artificially. It was named after the Americas, because it was discovered in America and in the periodic table it is positioned right below europium.

There is no picture of the corresponding element, yet. Urano and Pluton, the rulers of the underworld, are trying to make new monsters through nuclear fusion. They need new monsters to build a clone army in order to take over the world. Unfortunately these experiments fail regularely.

Neptunium

93
Neptun
Neptunium

Neptunium is a toxic and radioactive heavy metal, which exists on earth only in extremely small traces. It was named after planet Neptune, the neighbour of Uranus, since the element is the neighbour of uranium in the periodic table. It is only used in nuclear technology, specifically for atomic batteries.

Thorium

90
Thor
Thor

Thorium is named after the nordic god Thor. Even though the element is radioactive, it has a half life of 14 billion years (in its most important isotope) – therefore more stable than uranium. It was formerly used for gas mantles in lamps.

Actinium

89
Action-Actum
Actinium

The name actinium comes from the greek word aktis meaning "ray", because it generates radioactive rays and glows in the dark. It is name patron for a whole group of elements: the actinides. Because of its strong radioactivity there are only a few very special applications for it.
