A pile of the Bendezium material in the Phazon Mines.
Bendezium is a very strong substance that can only be destroyed by a Power Bomb. It has a high melting point and is extremely dense, making it a popular building material. It was originally mentioned by name in Metroid Prime, but it may also be represented in some games by Power Bomb Blocks. A material with similar properties, Denzium, appeared only in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and acted as a replacement in the game for Bendezium. The only named material harder than Bendezium is Maldium, which appears in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and can only be destroyed by Samus's ship's missiles.
