If superheroes stepped off the comic book page, could they actually
work their wonders in a world constrained by the laws of physics?
How strong would Superman have to be to 'leap tall buildings in a
single bound'? Could Storm of the 'X-Men' possibly control the
weather? James Kakalios provides an engaging and witty commentary
while introducing the lay reader to both classical and cutting-edge
concepts in physics, including: what Superman's strength can tell
us about the Newtonian physics of force, mass, and acceleration;
what villains like Electro and Magneto tell us about electricity
and magnetism; how Iceman's powers show the principles of thermal
dynamics; what the Human Top can tell us about angular momentum;
why physics professors gone bad are the most dangerous evil
geniuses... and more!
