I'm really not a fan of n52, and will admit to have drifted away from DC&Marvel, etc., the last decade or so. The Green was workable, as an elemental mystical realm, the Red I was more dubious about (arguably it should pre-date the Green), the Grey was (I think) fungi, which I can just about see, but...
The Metal is really dubious, as without oxygen there's naturally iron and nickel all over the place (universe), and gold, silver and copper has been around humans for quite a few millennia. Tech is, if anything, moving away from metal, towards materials with useful nano-structure, providing required properties, like silicon and carbon, neither of which are metals. In a lot of cases the structure and flow of information is what makes the tech work. Metal? That's the clothes the tech (currently) wears. The Flow (electrons, photons, something more esoteric) would arguably be a better name.
Sorry, got a bit carried away, there.
