With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

The thing is, gold is also incredibly soft. It got its reputation as the material used for fancy ornamentation largely because there wasn't anything else it was really able to be used for.

So I'd suspect that if Supertown's buildings are actually Made Out Of Gold (as opposed to just looking like it - is orichalcum a thing in DC?), there's a New God technomagical reason behind it.
It could be some exotic alloy of gold, such as electrum or some variant of the fictional Orichalcum. The latter also has mystical associations... Who knows when you get started with Kirbytech like that?
Yes, Orichalcum is a thing in DC. And in With this Ring, it's a thing, being a magic metamaterial derived from gold, alongside mithril being a silver equivalent(and a crazy superconductor called Jovium). Work was underway to try and figure out a method to mass produce them but then Anti-Life hit.

While New Genesis could probably produce Orichalcum, I'd kinda doubt it because they've got access to better stuff. They mainly make their technology out of something called Element X, and the gold color might mean it's an alloy of Element X or they could be using Eighth Metal for bulk material(a lesser supermaterial two steps removed from Element X(and one step from Nth Metal) that Earth Gods make their best shit out of).
 
Nice to see this version of Paul again, and that he's got a date.
How involved was he in the fight against the Shadoen?
