Lead
A fairly commom metal found on Earth and possessing qualities of extreme density and softness. Lead is toxic to humans in small amounts and its use is now more restricted, but it remains valuable for screening radiation and is still sometimes used in dental amalgams and many industrial metal alloys.
Perhaps no metal on Earth is as important in Superman's career than lead. It protects him from the harmful radiation of Kryptonite but at the same time, blocks all of his extra vision powers, including its being resistant to heat vision.
