    I got rather curious and Googled it.

    https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Superman's_Pal,_Jimmy_Olsen_Vol_1_68

    “The Human Metal-Eater!”: After Jimmy is bitten by a Metal-Eater in the Fortress of Solitude, he gains the power to eat and digest metal for 48 hours.

    The crooks use Jimmy Olsen’s Signal Watch to trap Superman and Krypto in a submarine with the kryptonite; but Jimmy saves the day by eating the kryptonite, with a little lead on the side.

    It doesn’t help that much, no. He’s gonna eat the whole sub, starting from the periscope…?

        As I understand that it mineral is a term for all inorganic terms found in the Earth and metal is a specific one.

        But idk if is a “metal” per se. Perhaps there’s comics where someone makes like a blade out of it idk.

        Call a mineralogigilisist.
