104 was named rutherfordium and 105 hahnium in the West.

I'm not sure, but I have heard that neutral names have been selected for
good for elements 104, 105, 106.  Namely unnilquadrium, unnilpentium, and
unnilhexium, with symbols Unq, Unp, and Unh.

Ung.

Comics?  You want net.comics?  Just sit ten years and no doubt you'll
see Magneto's good twin sister Magneta turn evil in her search of some
vial of unnilpentium, the substance left over from the explosion of the
planet Unnilpent.  I can't wait.
