    I don’t think the people over at the L.I.C.C. will be happy about this. http://www.geocities.com/thelicc. Plotonium is the primary metal of the hull for the Spidership, and has been since 2001.

    So here’s my theory. Every time the writer’s come up with a cheesy explanation for something, it’s because of Plotonium. However all the aboslutely brilliant things they do that don’t require Plotonium, that’s all due to Plotinum (Like Platinum, but with an o… get it? )
