Most readers have never heard or used the word “vanadium.” But what is vanadium, how is it used everyday, and why is vanadium important? These are just some of the questions that we will be tackling today, and much more. Not to mention that this essay will also inform you of the superhero element that will save Los Angeles and his super-powers.

To go back to the beginning our superhero, he was born in Sweden, of 1801. His name is Vanadis, and he has one sibling. His parents are Niobium and Tantalum, but Vanadis likes to call them “mom and dad.” His sister is Dubnium, but he likes to call her “Dumb-ium.” Vanadis doesn’t like telling his friends his age, because he is the oldest out of them all (213 years-old). Vanadis also has powers, secretly. The only people who know about this is his family. Vanadis has the power to shoot electricity from his hands and arms, but he is not the only one that has powers in his family. Vanadis’s sister, Dubnium, also has powers. On the other hand, they are not electricity powers, she is radioactive. Anything or anyone she has contact with gets damaged, and can die! Dubnium usually wears gloves, long jeans, sweaters, and hats to protect mankind. Luckily, Dubnium was cured when young, so she is under medication to stop the radioactive energy getting worse. Vanadis had to feed, help, and protect his sister, a lot as a child.

Even though Vanadis will save the world, because he has these characteristic (electricity). He also needs to blend into society. On a day to day basis, Vanadis goes by the name of Steve, but he rather prefers his real name. Vanadis (Steve) works at a comic book store, ironically, he is a superhero himself. He thinks it's pretty funny reading comics about himself or his friends. Vanadis lives in Los Angeles, in a apartment. He likes to live a simple life, kind of. One day, Vanadis was in his apartment, watching television. But out of the blue, he heard yelling, screaming, and destruction outside. He quickly looked out his window and saw a condor invasion.

Finally, Vanadis will save the world because of the powers he has, electricity and strength. If I haven't mentioned it yet, Vanadis also has another power, strength. Because vanadium is used for steel-type materials (like tools), Vanadis is very strong. According to a website (www.americanvanadium.com/steel.php), vanadium is a steel that has high-strength. This data shows that Steve has a high amount of strength. Vanadis will also make the citizens of L.A. drowsy. The reason Steve will do this is because, he will make the pedestrians tired and forget the “whole” invasion. You could say it sounds much like “Men In Black”.

In conclusion, this superhero has great powers to stop the condor invasion because he holds electronic and strength powers. In order to avoid condor invasion in the future, scientist should not test on bunnies no more.
