The Science of Superheroes is a fun book that ignites curiosity
in science through a fairly light-hearted discussion of the science
behind some of the better known comic book heroes. Deep down,
everyone knows that a massive dose of radiation is more likely
to kill than give an unfortunate person superhuman abilities,
so attacking the science of comic books might seem a little bit
of an easy target to some. However, the authors also delve into
some interesting scientific principles and make the reader realize
that science can be applied to pretty much everything! At times,
the book is a little complex for what it is and can be a little
over the top in places. Luckily, the chapters stand alone and
you do not have to wade through the entire thing at once.
