Be A Superhero

They say that Chromium metal
Is valued for its high corrosive resistance
And its ability to be quite hard.
Recent reports have purported
That it's demand has increased
And the reason....
A high increase in humans
Wanting to be like their favourite superhero -
Namely Wolverine.
Blades tucked neatly within their skin
Always a knife at the ready
And no more worries
About walking home after dark
As a sliced uppercut
Can render your attacker to shreds.

Written for the Writer's Cramp:
NEW PROMPT: Chromium, atomic number 24. Chromium metal is valued for its high corrosion resistance and hardness. A major development in steel production was the discovery that steel could be made highly resistant to corrosion and discoloration by adding metallic chromium to form stainless steel. Chromium is the third hardest element after carbon (diamond) and boron.
In your story or poem, imagine a future use for chromium that vastly increases demand for it, and how that demand might be met.
