I wouldn't want them to call something Vibraniumif it's not high quality material... Calling Aluminium-like material Vibranium would be dumb. Furthermore @FootballZombie will probably tell you that someone already have registered a TM on it. Just like Adamantium, impossiblium, Mithril or Gromril...
