SCIENCE FACT OR FICTION? HOW THEY MEASURE UP

Here's a rundown on superheroes and if they can (with the help of science) be done or be created.

example:

"The Incredible Hulk

Born: May 1962 in Marvel Comics.

Fictional powers: Dr Bruce Banner is exposed to gamma rays. He turns into a green monster with huge strength when he gets angry.

And science says: Gamma radiation causes sickness, cancer and death. But the Hulk could, in theory, be created by using anabolic steroids and genetically altering his skinwith genetic material from jellyfish.
