Q&A

Is there a real life substance like movie acid?

+0
−0

Is there a real life chemical or compound that exhibits the characteristics of stereotypical movie acid?

From what I know of most acid, it is usually clear or just a little cloudy, but I'm looking for a substance suitable for a TV supervillain.

It must:

  1. Be a gross green color
  2. Bubble and or smoke menacingly
  3. Melt stuff

(Bonus points) 4. Glow

I don't want to handwave in some substance made by "science©", so I was wondering if anything either naturally occurring, or made by modern technology in our world works like this.
