Description & Specifications

If superheroes were to come out of the pages of comics, could they really perform their miracles in a world constrained by the laws of physics? How strong would Superman have to be to “leap tall buildings in a single bound”? Can Storm from the “X-Men” control the weather?

James Kakalios provides an interesting and clever commentary while introducing the reader to classic and modern concepts of physics, including:

  • What can Superman's strength tell us about Newtonian physics of forces, mass, and acceleration?
  • What do villains like Electro and Magneto tell us about electricity and magnetism?
  • How do Iceman's powers illustrate the principles of thermodynamics?
  • What can Human Top tell us about angular momentum?
  • Why are bad physics professors the most dangerous evil geniuses... and more!
