I love comics. I know that might not come as much of a surprise, given this book’s focus, but I thought I should make it clear. We’ve covered a lot of amazing superhero science in the book so far, but by no means everything! There are still lots of questions, queries and conundrums that didn’t quite fit into the previous chapters. So, this chapter will attempt to provide scientific explanations for, well, everything else … However, I must accept that in some cases the answer will have to be ‘magic’ or ‘that’s how the comic book universe works’, but sometimes that’s OK. In some cases, I try to explain something as if it is working within the real world, while in others I’ve attempted to explain them in the comic universe, or in-universe, in nerd speak.
