>>110756914How about Metals with distinctly extraordinary properties, like super-hard osmium, chromium or iridium with its high melting point? Super-conductive silver?
You have a team with 3 low-melting point dense metals, all malleable, which is pointless as they can all shapeshift at will, making Mercury's "liquid at room temperature" ability meaningless.
Iron is smalltime strong compared to tungsten, among that metal's other fairly unique properties. All iron does is alloy well, which the Metal Men do not do anyway. Oh and rust.
They are a bunch of metals chosen because low-IQ readers will have heard of them, ignoring most of their actual metallurgical properties or getting aspects completely wrong, like Mercury.
