A fascinating exploration of the science, history, literature, and
culture behind comic book superheroes’ powers and origins. How
does Superman’s strength allow him to squeeze a chunk of coal
into a diamond? What’s the connection between Wonder Woman’s
golden Lasso of Truth and a lie detector? Why does the Black
Panther speak so many different languages? What does Natasha
Romanova, a.k.a. Black Widow, teach us about the Cold War? All this
and more is explored in Superhero Smart: Real-World Facts Behind
Comic Book Characters, written by award-winning author Paul
Volponi. In a fast-paced, free-flowing narrative, Volponi reveals
that there is so much more to spandex-clad superheroes than meets
the eye. To truly understand their origins and powers, one must
also understand science, history, literature, and the incredible
diversity of people and cultures around us. The exploits and powers
of almost every comic book superhero or villain have a basis in
reality, opening the door to learning about so many things from the
past and present. And in learning more about these heroes and our
world, we can help prepare for and create a better future, just as
superheroes strive to do every day in the pages of our comic books.
