Veridium

Veridium is the identity assumed by David Magnus after merging with a unique alien alloy known as Veridium metal, which grants him enhanced strength and the ability to absorb and redirect energy. He is the brother of Will Magnus, creator of the Metal Men, and harbors a deep grudge against him following a time-travel incident that transformed David into this formidable being.

Unlike the original Veridium, who housed Will Magnus's consciousness, this version is a fusion of David's human mind and the alien metal, making him a distinct and dangerous presence within the Metal Men mythology.
