History

Promethium is a magical metal found only in Belasco's dimension, known as the Otherplace or Limbo. In Otherplace, it takes the form of a giant animal heart, hidden in a cavern deep below its surface. Removal of the promethium to another dimension will cause Limbo to vanish. The heart of Limbo was once sought by Doctor Doom as an inexhaustible energy source for his nation of Latveria. It is currently in the possession of Darkoth.[1]

According to Meridius, promethium is an "element of darkness" akin to the symbiotes, and is thus capable of greatly empowering them.[2]
