Didn't vibranium come first? 🤔

Either: Daredevil #13 (Feb 1966) or Fantastic Four #53 (Aug 1966) (depending on which vibranium we're talking about, yes, there were TWO of them...)

vs.

Avengers #66 (July 1969) (Ultron's body)

2 vibraniums? please do elaborate! I don't have the patience to read all the comics but I'm a sucker for this kind of lore details.

So a metal called "vibranium" was first introduced in Daredevil as an 'anti-metal' that melted all other metals.

The second vibranium, from Wakanda, is the one everyone knows about. I think they just recycled the name from Daredevil.
