Iron
Iron () is a chemical element with symbol Fe (from la, ferrum) and atomic number 26. It is a metal that belongs to the first transition series and group 8 of the periodic table. It is, by mass, the most common element on Earth, right in front of oxygen (32.1% and 30.1%, respectively), forming much of Earth's outer and inner core. It is the fourth most common element in the Earth's crust. In its metallic state, iron is rare in the Earth's crust, limited mainly to deposition by meteorites. Iron ores, by contrast, are among the most abundant in the Earth's crust, although extracting usable metal from them requires kilns or furnaces capable of reaching or higher, about higher than that required to smelt copper. Humans started to master that process in Eurasia during the 2nd millennium BCE and the use of iron tools and weapons began to displace copper alloys, in some regions, only around 1200 BCE. That event is considered the transition from the Bronze Age to the Iron A ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

A ''ferro'' (plural ''ferri'') or is an item of functional wrought-iron work on the façade of an Italian building.

Ferro (Covilhã)
Ferro is a town and civil parish in the municipality of Covilhã, Portugal. The population in 2011 was 1,700, in an area of . Ferro is the Portuguese word for iron. History The settlement of this parish goes back to Roman times, since it was this people that gave the name to the village, through the Latin word Ferrum, because the Romans, in the lands they conquered, took advantage of the mineral resources of the subsoil, and it was known the richness of this region in iron, which is why it is not surprising that the toponym has exactly to do with this reality of the civil parish.

When Jim Shooter first created the character, he intended Ferro Lad to be black, but editor Mort Weisinger vetoed the idea, saying "we'll lose our distribution in the South".

In a 2003 interview, Shooter said: "Ferro Lad, I killed because my plan was that he was a black guy, and Mort Weisinger said no. Then I said, "Well, let's see. I've got this idea for a story, and someone needs to die...Ah-ha! Him!" So basically, I killed him off because it annoyed me that I couldn't do with him what I wanted".
