The Physics of Superheroes

I haven't finished this book yet, but I'm enjoying it immensely and can't resist the urge to tell about it. It is by far the most enjoyable thing I've ever read on physics OR superheroes. Not that I've read much on either, but that just goes to prove its power. If you've ever wondered what we can deduce about the planet Krypton from Superman's powers, whether Spiderman really could swing from a web, or how many cheeseburgers the Flash would need to eat, this is the place to find out. You'll also get a history of Silver Age comics, fashion critiques, and the essential connection between Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity and your shopping list.

And while I'm at it, it turns out that:
I am Spider-Man

Spider-Man 75% Supergirl 67% Superman 65% Wonder Woman 62% Green Lantern 55% Robin 50% Iron Man 45% The Flash 40% Batman 35% Hulk 30% Catwoman 20%

You are intelligent, witty, a bit geeky and have great power and responsibility.
