Chemistry Superhero? Xenon!

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-05-03] [Hit: ]
and...1.2.3.......
so i made up a chemistry superhero name called : xenon the phenom lol (or if u can think of another creative name lol) but im having some trouble on some things. i need a picture, so how would i draw xenon the phenom? and...
1. a description of the superpowers and how they relate to chemistry
2. A disaster that only your hero can solve using chemistry related superpowers
3. A weakness that incorporates knowledge of chemistry
4. An origin story that incorporates info on scientists that discovered the related properties of chemistry
5. a catchphrase/motto

so i dont really know how to incorporate xenon and what it does into this, i need help! thanks!

Well, since Xenon starts with an X, you could make a superhero with an X shape, a head added on, and a whip in the shape of an e, held off to his right side. Xenon the noble would be a better name, because Xenon is a noble gas.

1. His powers include...creating the blue seen in neon lights when a powerful current is run through it.
- its isotopoes serve as neutron absorbers in nuclear reactors- protects the world from radiation? hehe.
- can be used in laser beams, used for fixing some skin related problems.
-used as a general anesthetic, which is environmentally friendly. 42% more effective than "laughing gas" for blocking pain.
-radioactive isotope of it is used to track bloodflow, get images of lungs, heart, brain etc.
- Doesn't leak through glass over time because of its size, great at providing light over a long period of time.
-anti-cancer drug 5-fluororocil is produced by using xenon difluoride (XeF2) with Uracil. Fighting cancer? Mega power!
- can be used to prevent hypoxia - reduces cellular needs for oxygen, helpful when breathing is compromised.

2. A nuclear plant is leaking neutrons OMG! Xenon to the rescue! Some of xenons isotopes readily accept neutrons and negate the threat, saving the world from turning into zombies!

3. It is a noble gas and is very inert (doesn't react with many things at all) you could call it shy or something because it tries not to bond with others because it is already stable on its own.

4. Origin story? well..Englishmen william ramsey and Morris Travers discovered it in July after discovering Krypton and Neon. In Greek, Xenon is translated as "foreigner" or "stranger" It was found in residue from evaporated liquid air. It was hard for them to find, because it is estimated to exist in air in 1 part per 20 million. Its rarity makes it expensive and economical for only very rewarding endeavors (medical industry, neutron absorption, etc)

5. A catch phrase, hmm? "Xenon...saving the world from nuclear catastrophe, one neutron at a time" Terrible, but you can probably think of better.

If this helped, rate this the best! Good luck with your work!
