I was looking for elements in the same group as carbon (due to its many
different molecular structures), and when I realized that this was a real
thing that had such a comic-booky name, I was like yes.

You know, a theoretical element in the "island of stability" is something I
considered, but honestly, "new element with weird powers" is enough of a
cliche that I wanted to put my own spin on it.  Thus, a molecular lattice.

Andrew "NO .SIG MAN" "Juan" Perron, besides, it's already doped!  With
flerovium!
