He had a gas, Métomol, derived from obscure poisonous mushrooms (one of Champignac's trademarks is that much of his chemistry is derived from mushrooms) which make any metal object as soft as chewing gum. He once revived a dinosaur, and another time accidentally turned himself evil through a failed experiment.
