Ed Roman
Adamantium Truss Rods
A bedtime story by Ed
Roman
You can only tell it your children after you buy an Ed Roman Guitar
!!!
Maybe if you tell it to your wife, She will give you her permission
to buy one. The
story of the Adamantium truss rods is a closely guarded secret. Ed
Roman literally had to break into the 4th underground level of the
Pentagon to acquire the chemical compound formula. He then had to
construct a time machine to go back to the 40's to spy on it's
inventor metallurgist Dr. Myron MacLain.
Roman was obsessed to find out the secret of keeping the process of
manufacturing stable enough to avoid destroying the planet into a
cataclysmic vapor cloud. If he destroyed the planet, there would
have been no customers left to purchase his guitars. He would have
gone broke & died in the poor house!!!! To gain the necessary
components he had to build a starship and travel 400,000 light years
to the distant reaches of the Pulsar Galaxy to get enough raw
materiel to build 100 truss rods for his Abstract Guitar line. To do
this in one lifetime he was forced to design the Abstract Equation
which he evolved from the Dymaxion Dynasty of ancient Egypt.
Simply put the Abstract Equation creates a slight
time shift in the Universe allowing a network of black holes to open
and shut in varying high speed sequences. This allows the traveler
to travel incredible distances and actually get there before he
left. To acquire a map of these endless pathways Ed had to use the
time machine one more time and go back to ancient Greece, He had to
scale Mount Olympus and gain an audience with Zeus, Using his
incredible salesmanship and persuasive gift of gab. Ed Roman
actually conned it out of Zeus, He promised to give Zeus the Golden
Fleece, This was to the amazement of his wife Hera who said it was
probably a Golden Fleecing !!!! She was just about to put a
curse on Ed but he quickly parasailed off the top of Mount Olympus
thereby avoiding her screams, vile epithets and of course the deadly
curse.
The Definition of Adamantium
The McGonigle dictionary
Adamantium is a virtually indestructible man-made
steel alloy which does not occur in nature and whose exact chemical
composition is a United States government classified secret.
Adamantium is not an element: its properties do not qualify it for
any known space on the Periodic Table of Elements. Rather,
Adamantium is a series of closely related compounds of iron created
through a secret process discovered by the American metallurgist Dr.
Myron MacLain. MacLain began experimenting with the process
that created Adamantium as a young scientist in the employ of the
United States government in the early 1940s. Assigned to create a
super-metal with which to build tanks, MacLain labored for months,
experimenting with various iron alloys. One of his experiments
utilized the rare meteoric ore now known as Wakandan Vibranium. He
tried to fuse the Vibranium to the iron alloy numerous times without
success. Then one night when he dozed off, some as yet unknown
factor entered the process, and permitted the fusion to occur. Upon
discovering his success, MacLain poured the molten metal into a
disc-shaped mold. The disc, once solidified, has proven to be the
most impervious object ever created on Earth. MacLain turned the
discovery over to the government and it was given to Captain America
to use as his shield. Neither MacLain nor anyone else has ever been
able to discover what was the x-factor that entered the process, or
has been able to fuse Vibranium with another metal. (The unknown
iron-Vibranium alloy of which the shield is composed resembles True
Adamantium, although Adamantium itself contains no Vibranium,)
Over the following decades MacLain experimented, attempting to
duplicate the process that create the shield. Finally, in recent
years, he succeeded in developing the process by which the substance
known as True Adamantium is created. True Adamantium is nearly as
strong as Captain America's shield, and is, for all practical
purpose, indestructible. The degree of impermeability varies
directly with the thickness of the Adamantium. A direct blow from
Thor's hammer, conveyed with the thunder god's full strength, will
slightly dent a solid cylinder of True Adamantium. A sufficient mass
of Adamantium could survive a direct hit from a nuclear weapon.
Adamantium is created through the mixing of certain chemical
resins whose composition is a United States government secret. For
eight minutes after the resins are mixed, the Adamantium can be
molded into a particular shape as long as it is kept at a
temperature of 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit. After this brief period the
process of creating Adamantium is completed. The extremely stable
molecular structure of the Adamantium prevents it from being molded
further, even if the temperature remains high enough to keep it in
liquefied form. Only a device celled a Molecular Rearranger can
alter the form of hardened Adamantium.
The United States government has shared the secret of
Adamantium's composition with certain of its allies, and the secret
has also fallen into the hands of various criminals, such as the
Constrictor, who has made special weaponry from Adamantium.
Wolverine possesses artificial claws made of True Adamantium and his
bones have been fused with Adamantium in an unexplained manner so as
to greatly increase their tensile strength. The outer portion of the
robotic body of Ultron is also composed entirely of True Adamantium,
although Ultron's inner mechanisms are not.
Adamantium is extraordinarily expensive to produce. Therefore,
certain parties who wish to use Adamantium on a large scale have
resorted to utilizing a similar but somewhat weaker compound similar
to True Adamantium called Secondary Adamantium. Although Secondary
Adamantium is still far stronger than even titanium steel, it can be
destroyed by sufficiently great amounts of force. Blastaar's energy
discharges and the vibratory force created by the Overkill Horn have
both proved able to destroy Secondary Adamantium. The sentient
computer known as F.A.U.S.T. had a casing made of Secondary
Adamantium which Thor and Iron Man managed to destroy. The Red Skull
and the original Hate-Monger had a dome of Secondary Adamantium
constructed to protect their island fortress but the dome was
destroyed by the vibratory force of the Overkill Horn and by
powerful incendiary bombs.
Ed Roman & his small band of merry men & crazed
luthiers in their insane search for the most insdestructable metal
in the universe finally succeeded where all others had failed.
And They All Lived Happily Ever After.
