In the exceedingly successful tradition of 'The Physics Of Star Trek', 'The Science Of Star Wars', books on the science of 'The X-Files', and the authors' own 'The Computers Of Star Trek', this new book takes a light-hearted but no less learned look at superpowers and consider what is and isn't possible.
From Batman to the X-Men, from x-ray vision and super strength to the effects of radiation and mutations, this is pop science for a huge pop culture audience. Comic books may not be as popular as they once were, but they still generate huge amounts of cash.
The huge success of 'The X-Men' movie has continued the tremendous run comic characters have had on the big screen, starting with Superman, and continuing with Batman, the X-Men, and Spiderman. This book is an ideal tie-in to this hungry market. With an introduction by Dean Koontz.
