We're excited to participate in the UVic Faculty of Science 2024 Lipson Lecture with James Kakalios, Author and Professor of Physics. Comic books may be fictional, but they’re still full of real-world science. From the physics that gives Spider-Man’s webbing its amazing properties to the chemical composition of Captain America’s shield, we’ll explore the science behind our favourite superheroes—and subject our analysis to some experimental testing. We’ll also discuss innovations that were first introduced in superhero adventures as fiction before finding their way off the comic book page and into reality, using examples from Spider-Man, Superman and Gormuu, warrior invader from the planet Kraalo. Superhero comic books get their science right more often than expected!
