Thanks for listening!
Sorry to disillusion you, Rob, but--from Hawkman's first appearance in FLASH COMICS #1:
ReplyDelete"The Hawkman - peril of the night - whose extraordinary powers are derived from Carter Hall's discovery of the secret of the ages - the NINTH Metal - which defies the pull of the Earth's gravity."
Yep, Nth metal was originally called Ninth Metal. Presumably, the change was made because Ninth Metal sounds stupid and suggests a limited number of metals before it. Probably Gardner Fox had never seen the Periodic Table of Elements. Either that, or he had a horrible misunderstanding of what zinc was good for.
Also, Shiera was depicted with black hair in the first ten issues of FLASH COMICS. It was eventually colored brown with FLASH #11. And the Golden Age Carter Hall was, of course, blonde.
