Pretty good trick unless there was lots of zirconium in that coal

Yeah… In fact, I think there would have to be more Zirconium than carbon in that coal, which raises a whole new angle: Hamhock got what he paid for when he bought discount coal…

Great trick, palming the coal and replacing it with cubic zirconium.

In fact, upon further reflection – There isn’t any carbon in cubic zirconium, but coal is pure carbon. The ability to change matter on a subatomic level is a pretty neat power!

It’s just a trick. Superman can’t really crush coal into diamonds. He keeps low-grade diamonds on him and slips the diamond into his palm when he crushes the coal. Cap can’t afford diamonds so he uses zirconia.
