      Yeah, wonder if they’re confusing it with something else. Here’s more info for anyone unaware:

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demon_core

      The demon core was a sphere of plutonium–gallium alloy that was involved in two fatal radiation accidents when scientists tested it as a fissile core of an early atomic bomb. It was manufactured in 1945 by the Manhattan Project, the U.S. nuclear weapon development effort during World War II.

      It’s weird that they made it look like the Demon core, but not behave like it.

    What would a nerdy comic be without next-level nerdy critiques in the comments.
