Ever wondered what a superhero eats for breakfast? Do they need a
special diet to feed their superpowers? The odd metabolisms of
superheroes must mean they have strange dietary needs, from the
high calorie diets to fuel flaming bodies and super speeds, to not
so obvious requirements for vitamins and minerals. The Secret
Science of Superheroes looks at the underpinning chemistry, physics
and biology needed for their superpowers. Individual chapters look
at synthesising elements on demand, genetic evolution and what
superhero suits could be made of. By exploring these topics, the
book introduces a wide range of scientific concepts, from protein
chemistry to particle physics for a general scientifically
interested audience. With contributions from leading science
communicators the book hopes to answer some of these important
questions rather than debunk or pick holes in the science of
superheroes.
